WILMA!

I was driving by the nuclear power plant the other day and saw this creature walking about. For those of you who don't know, it is a Florida Lobster. It doesn't have claws like the boys from Maine but I would like to see them dunk a basketball. So next time you are down this way and see it on the menu, just order one:It should be plenty. You may want some extra butter, however.

  1. I can't believe you just find these things. I think you're getting really good at PhotoShop :) Great text, as always.

  2. Does being next to the nuclear plant have anything to do with it's size? MB

  3. I have a feeling that a lobster that size would be ordering ME, and not even care about the melted butter!

  7. Oh. «Louis» is glad you explained. When he saw the title "Wilma" and saw the photo he thought this post was about his ex-mother-in-law...

  8. I also am a little suspicious of the size of that creature and its proximity to the nuclear power plant.

  9. Did they find this in the water near the nuclear power plant?

    Did you find it up on Federal Highway?

    You must have a powerful golf swing!

  10. I guess these monster are quite difficult to cook. I can easily imagine a banquet of never ending Godzilla specials.
    Ah, the mysterious Florida unveiled!

  13. OK... is this its natural colour or the colour it becomes after having boiled? Our live lobsters are navy and become bright red when cooked so now you've got me wondering... This looks more like a cooked langoustine to me! Anyway, I'd love it, I don't need butter but I might have to freeze a lil' bit of it!

  16. I, for one, am glad that it doesn't have claws! I think I saw that movie, late night TV, in black and white....

  22. This is definitely award-winning street decor. Fantatic. I'm jealous. I thought crazy Tampa had ALL the weird and strange roadside creatures.

    A wonderful find. (When they start serving shrimp at our nuclear plant I am going for the xxx-jumbo fried platter.)
