Furry Lobster Survives
Oh, come on! Are you kidding me?! Apparently some divers found an actual furry furry lobster in the South Pacific. It is white, blind and covered with hair (just like Ronnie Milsap). If we wait long enough, everything in Hodgman’s book will become true. Thanks to everyone who sent this in.
If you don’t see why I think this is a big story, then you haven’t heard this: Furry Old Lobster

Either that, or everything in Jonathan Coulton's songs will become true. Dude, I can't WAIT for a half-monkey/half-pony monster! Ooh, ooh, and the Robot Wars are what is going to "Friggin' sweet", my friend, jpez.

Glad you saw this - was eating breakfast this AM reading the paper and almost spit out my cereal when I saw the picture, having heard your song just the other week :-)

Oh man, I was just in the process of writing to tell you this. Gotta get up earlier in the morning.

Damn. I'm not the first to tell you. Heck I'm not even the first to tell you I was about to tell you.
Time to go listen to Furry Old Lobster again...

It gets a little weirder. Here is this OTHER furry lobster, actually it's technically a "musical furry lobster" (because it chirps like a cricket) and it was originally discovered in the 80s by French researchers who ate it (le oops). Then later they found another one in Australia: musical furry lobster.
So, ah, what the hell is going on?

It's only a matter of time before someone discovers a bearded clam.

My wife sent me an email with a day's worth of exclamation points telling me to send you that story.
You have a strange effect on people.
I just assumed you knew about it because people who make cool songs know everything.

It's a plant. I think Jonathan teamed up with that Mad Scientist dude from Skullcrusher Mountain and made that lobster.

And here's yet another picture. Um... Okay, it's really a webcomic, but I think you'll find it amusing:

Ok, this is odd. I googled your name, and the first thing that came up was the Furry Old Lobster Song. Since it wasn't dated, and I didn't know what "week 12" was, date-wise, I added the link to the news story. Silly me, I should have clicked on "home" first.

Everyone is focusing on the lobster, and missing the best part of this...
"It is white, blind and covered with hair (just like Ronnie Milsap)."
HAHAhahahahaha!
