My fantasy league's punishment for last place is making me take my boyfriend on a date in a full mascot costume.
By @mara · Sports
I lost our fantasy baseball league and this is the punishment they came up with. My boyfriend thinks it's hilarious, but I'm supposed to go to a nice restaurant dressed as 'Larry the Lobster.'.
The full story
I knew the stakes when I joined my boyfriend's fantasy baseball league. The punishment for last place is always something embarrassing. But I never thought I'd actually BE in last place. So now, I have to take him out to a real, sit-down restaurant while wearing a full-body lobster costume. They already ordered it. My boyfriend is dying laughing. He keeps calling me his 'little lobster roll.' I'm trying to be a good sport, but I feel like this is crossing a line from funny to just plain mean.

What people are saying
@jade — The fact that your boyfriend isn't defending you from his friends tells you everything you need to know about his priorities.
@ivy — Honey, that's not funny, that's just humiliating. A good sport would have drawn the line at public embarrassment.
@marakinda — LMAO
@ellieliterally — My league made my buddy get a horrible haircut from a blindfolded barber last year. He looked insane for like two months. This is way better.
@truesame — Congratulations on your new life as a lobster.
