For the Lobster Lovers

I love lobster. I love my money. Why pay 34 dollars for a pound and a half lobster when you can get it as cheap as 11.99?

Yes my friends, it's true. You don't have to break the bank to get your hands on a steamed sea-cockroach. As a lobster lover, I've done all the footwork necessary to let you in on the great deals.

1. Publix. For 11.99 you can get yourself a live Maine lobster. Yes, you have to steam it yourself, but if you plan on having quite a few friends over for dinner, it's a great idea. Much cheaper than going out to your local seafood restaurant where a bill can add up quickly.

2. Boynton Beach Ale House. On Monday and Wednesday nights, the Ale House offers a pound and a quarter lobster with any side for 14.99. Try the mash potatoes and gravy. Also, on Wednesday nights, ladies drink free!

3. Station House. Located on Lantana Rd., the Station House has two pound and quarter lobsters for 22.95 before 5 PM.

4. Lake Worth Rum Shack. On Tuesday nights, you can get a pound and a quarter lobster plus a side for.
Get a pitcher of beer to go with it, and you have yourself a meal.

5. Bizarre Avenue Cafe. A fancy place with inexpensive lobsters on Tuesday nights. For 19.99 you can get a pound and a quarter lobster plus a side and a salad. Upstairs only.

Monopoly Fans!

The classic game of Monopoly, created in 1935 by Charles Darrow, has been morphed into more than 100 different genres. As an avid player, also known as "the hat," I decided to do my research and seek out a "top five" list.

5. MAKE-YOUR-OWN-OPOLY: Construct a custom made board game by using just a pen and scissors or produce a production quality board game by using your PC and any simple color printer. Just think of the possibilities...

4. NINTENDO-OPOLY: Now you can buy, sell and trade your favorite Nintendo characters for a whole new game-playing experience.

3. NIGHT SKY MONOPOLY: Become an astronaut for an hour or two! Move around the game board as you purchase comets, planets, star clusters, nebulae and galaxies and build observatories.

2. GHETTO-OPOLY: Tasteless? Offensive? Maybe. That won't stop me from buying it. Instead of houses and hotels, ghettos and projects are built. The railroads are substituted by liquor stores, and the boardwalk becomes a strip club. I dib the piece of crack rock as my piece.

1. TRIOPOLY: Triopoly adds exciting new dimensions and game-playing strategies as players build financial empires across three different levels. You gotta see it to believe it! (Below)

Buckle up, it's the Law. Except...

Picture this:
You're taking a quick cruise down I-95, a little late for work but you're not sweating it just yet. All of a sudden you look in your rearview and see "the man" tailing you. Before you know it, those red and blue lights start dancing in unison with that ear-piercing siren. You're being pulled over. After a 45 minute stop, you find yourself with a speeding ticket along with a seatbelt violation. Oops.

But as you're pulling back onto the highway, a driver on a motorcycle breezes by you.

Question: Why are car drivers held responsible for wearing seatbelts while motorcycle drivers don't even need to wear a helmet, let alone a seatbelt. But yet it's legal?

As long as cars and motorcycles share the same roads, I believe the same laws should apply to every automobile driver. What exactly makes the difference? I decided to ask my father, Frank Kreidler, a lawyer for over 35 years. "It's just one of those things that can't be explained Kimmy, what can I say?"

If anyone knows the answer to this question, please don't leave me hanging. I'd like to know.
