    it's like one of those games where you put in a quarter and try to grab a teddy bear with the claw. Except this game costs $2 and instead of a teddy bear, the prize is a real live lobster.

    There's Japanese in the picture. Make sure you have a container handy when you do win the prize.

    Those damn metal claws always drop the prize. Those crustaceans got it pretty easy if you ask me.

    Can't the lobsters just dodge that?? When the metal fingers come they can just move to the other side, Yoinks!

    Yeah, those clever lobsters wait until juuuuust before the claw grabs them, then they deftly move to the side, after which they give whoever just played the middle claw...
