It's a common meme format. Gonna try and word it in a way that I'm familiar with.
Basically, a person (a sojak-type character or wojak or whatever the fuck it's called) says to something, "Thank you for changing my life," stating that they enjoy the object or character in question.
The object or character then responds with some form of "I'm literally X". For example, Spongebob would respond with "I'm literally a sponge", and so on. Because y'know, it's ridiculous to love a sponge and Spongebob doesn't see anything fantastical about a person thinking he changed their life.
OP got the meme here half-right, but reworked the second half so it's not just "I'm literally a lobster". The lobster responds with "They used to serve me to prisoners" so the state would probably think "...oh".
Hopefully this clears things up some.

Tasty used to be open til 2am daily but now I think it's Thurs Fri Sat. They close earlier (midnight?) on other days. It's hit or miss (both the food & the service) but usually good. I suppose late at night you might get some fries that have been sitting for awhile or something like that. It's run by a family from Afghanistan I think, the chicken kabobs are really good. Avoid the chk nuggets, those are just from the freezer. The fried chicken and the kabobs are cooked-to-order, so call ahead if you don't have 10 mins to spare.

To be fair I was probably in middle school when that news came out.
We didn't go to Cole Farms a lot but I remember liking it...

Very first sentence on their promotional material even says as much.

That's certainly some food for thought, however the fact is that lobster was very plentiful at one point and now it's considered an expensive food. If early colonists were indeed subsisting off lobsters for a time as the article suggests, then that would certainly give credence to it being such a readily available food that people would get sick of it, and eventually only the people who couldn't afford an alternative might eat it, however even that doesn't make much sense, because if they could get lobster then they would also have access to crab, tons of shellfish as well as regular fish which even now are quite easy to gather or catch year round.
On a side note I have always been a bit perplexed at how many people died in the early colonies from starvation. It's the middle of January right now and I can easily go the coast and gather mussels, fish for Pollock and even grabs still are plentiful (which would have been even more plentiful back then). I suppose they just didn't have the knowledge of readily available food back then.

I'm not trying to troll anyone, but I have seen conflicting reports and I'm genuinely curious how this evolved. The contrary reports all say that there is no primary source material.
If you Google it, there are plenty of sites supporting the idea. Does anyone know what the deal is?

I always wanted to find other people that bought homes by them to see what problems they have had. Ours are pretty bad. Talked to some lawyers it’s impossible to sue they know everyone the lawyers we talked too won’t take it because of business conflicts or they know them. His brother is their lawyer so go figure.

Sound Pine Farm and Milkweed Farm in Brunswick do an annual seedling sale that’s really fantastic - here’s the landing page - preorder options should go live April ish
And here’s an archive of a previous year‘s pre order page photos are gone but the links work to see the varieties they’ve carried previously

Damn, I only speak gutter Orcish - missed opportunity there.
All kidding aside, this is awesome. I hope this subreddit gets some pictures once this thing happens - and most of all, congratulations!

A coworker of mine said she knows the guy. She heard from another person on the scene that he was out at Bruno's with his boss. Thought he could get through even after the arms were down. She did not seem surprised he would attempt that.

Thank you so much! This is the perfect recommendation. The I 95 trip is part of a 4 hr trip that I make often at off-peak hours and I need something to break up the monotony, and also make it seem a little more exciting or special or fun than just a rest area, and also make me feel like I’m not just putting more money in the pockets of “The Man. “

It's not like they were eating fine lobsters in prisons.
You know how you go in the supermarket and literally every food is like, dead and cut up and in a package? Vegetable, meat, fish, bread, whatever? Then there is just this one weird tank of living lobsters you buy?
Supermarkets don't just run an aquarium because it's fun or something, they spend the money to do it because lobster rots basically instantly when it dies. Within an hour it goes rancid. You have to buy it live and kill it right before eating. Usually minutes.
Prisoner weren't getting carefully preserved lobsters carefully hand delivered from the sea in climate controlled tanks, prisoners were fed garbage soup that smelled like an asshole from lobstermeat that quickly liquifies into putrid bacterial mush.
