[...] Some crazy person has created a plush toy of our new friend kiwa hirsuta (the furry lobster of recent fame) and made the pattern and instructions available under a Creative Commons license. Everybody wins - except for the disgusting furry lobsters themselves, who unfortunately are disgusting. [...]

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!

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.

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

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

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 only a matter of time before someone discovers a bearded clam.

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?

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…

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

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

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.
