there was a time when real, furry AMERICAN lobsters frolicked about these shores.

Were these large lobsters? Or small ones? Or would you say, in a Goldilocks-y, just-right kind of way, that they were medium?

Meanwhile, the Canadians are breeding monstrous grizzly bear/polar bear hybrids, and we're sending the National Guard to the Mexican border?

So I'm an idiot, but what is this post about? One of the links goes to a picture of an otter? and the other to lyrics implying that otters used to be called lobsters? Were they? And why?

I'm so confused.

I have to say - the Daily Show is doing a great job of cherry-picking up-and-coming nontraditional comedians. They've got John Hodgeman, Demitri Martin, and now Dave Gorman. They still don't quite know what to do with them (I've been underwhelmed by the segments all 3 have done) but there's a lot of potential.

Truly, I have my finger on the pulse of the blog.

What more could you want, than a wistful song about furry lobsters, who are extensionally otters?

A wistful song about furry lobsters set to appropriately wistful folky guitar music?
