myth confirmed (lots of washup's but no picture).  Poco has it as his avatar.  /salute

And a tentacle was captured for the post-experiment barbecue:

I read that this morning. I just happened to catch a show over the weekend about Humboldt squid, so the timing was interesting. Those fuckers are kinda scary, but I am pretty sure that I won't be at 900 m below sea level any time soon, so I am safe.

/bows graciously

I thought that news was way cool - been waiting for this announcement since I was an eight year old kid reading Verne.

I'm still waiting for video of Leviathan... ;)

Edit:  Here we go!!

Funny I saw the same show.  "Armor Is The Only Way To Survive This Dive." (http://diver.net/seahunt/fend/f_scottc.htm)  Those fucking things were over 5 feet and weighed what? >100lbs?  "The largest Humboldt ever filmed was about six feet and weighed nearly 100 pounds."  I think the "man eating squid" thing was played up a bit (and I don't think they ever actually gave evidence of any fatalities), but when they showed how each sucker arm had a beak in each sucker that was scary.  If those tentacles got around you, they could conceivably de-limb you in no time.

Holy moly...



I'd rather dive on sharks - they're stupid.  Squid are way too smart to carry that kind of weaponry.

Wow...

Imagine all the calamari...dipped in marinara....

I'm hungry.

Fuck that, I am waiting for Cthulhu to rise and consume all those fuckers who just plucked an arm off of one of his young.   You do not fuck with the Don of Evil.

You totally beat me to my Iron Chef joke. Oh wells.


And then you too. Little slow to the punches today, I guess.

Answer truthfully:

Was anyone scared to click on voodoolilly's link,  after the last thing she posted in Useless News?

What link? What are you talking about? The last thing I posted in Useless NEws was the Napoleon Dynamite stuff which was promptly denned for being unfunny to the three most important persons on f13.

Bruce, Geldon, and DV?

Yes!

Actually, since I'm still in my f13 infancy (despite my post #), I only had a brief encounter with Bruce and don't know who the others are. Color me lucky, I guess.

:-o

I knew true fear when I made a comment about the lily-white hands of a geek and he took it as a compliment. /shudder

I forget, did Geldon eventually get banned or did he get chased off?  Sometimes I miss Bruce, but then I remember he was a raging cock whore furry.  I still think he did the Crystal Meth.  I saw a post by DV on Lums site; good to know he is alive!

Ahh the memories.

You are a bad, bad man.  :-D

If you really must find out about Bruce, just google the little vole-rapist up. There's more than enough vomit-inducing ammunition there. Geld was never banned, he just didn't like being the butt of jokes and fucked on off to Grim's site or something. DV was banned for being a cockmuffin, then permabanned for posting tubgirl.

I feel like I'm treading on thin ice, such is the effect of banning. And I don't think I'm that bad. I'm good, right? Can I have a cookie?

Only if you don't promote more "Unicorns LA" bands.

Aw, c'mon. You snickered a little. I could hear you from here.

Unicorns LA is still floating around our office.

I wouldn't worry Lilly, you really haven't come close to some of the things done that have earned real bans around here (don't take that s a challenge)

Oh, and on topic - this is actually really cool. I've always been fascinated by deep sea life. Watch a documentary once on guys heading out trying to film Giant Squid. It was an hour long documentary of nothing - they got diddly.

Nice to see some one finally got one.

I do not believe I have complimented your avatar as of yet.  Kudos to you ma'am.  I already said grats on the marriage thingy, so you know, grats on that also x2.  I finally broke down and had a cig, I am feeling much love for everyone. 

As a reward for my love to everyone here is an Asian woman holding up an octopus (or is it a squid? Hell if I know the difference!)

Thanky kindly.

Pfft, you're not even close to being bad I'd give you a cookie, if I was inclined to bake some.


Now get 1 or 2 admins to dislike you on a very personal level...that will put you on thin ice....if you actually care, that is.

I was listening to the YTMND gothified "What Is Love" and I glanced at the title of this thread, and I read it as "What Is Giant Squid".

Then all kinds of frightening images assaulted me.

I remember when he was using that as an avatar, that's not actually a picture of him is it?  He just took some creepy psychopath's mugshot right?

No, that's actually him. GOOGLE THE DEVIANT.

tricky.  One needs sharper criteria for the index.

Forgive them FSM - they know not what they do.. (http://pw1.netcom.com/~sirbruce/).

Example:

I can't believe that article of his was actually published. It's beyond pointless.

Why do I click on anything you fuckers link to?  I thought I could trust Poco....

Woodcock?  Is that information real?  No wonder you people don't think Napoleon Dynamite is funny, it reminds you of real life trauma.

Not only is that information real, that's his personal web site.

Wow. Sirbruce really is the internet Napoleon Dynamite. I don't know why we didn't see it earlier.

I know people like that.  Seriously.  I did use the plural.  Knew a kid in high school named Binky Ward; I shouldn't have to add any detail to that.  I played D&D/Paranoia/MtG/etc with people like what you see described/pictured.  These people are who started me on MUDs.

Could be why I think Napoleon is funny.  I can relate, tacky house and everything.

Jesus christ, we have 2 conversations about Napoleon going on.  I may need to see this movie just to understand what all the fuss is about!

You do not need to do that to yourself. You are better than that.

I am not going to pretend to know you, but based on recent posts I would guess that it isn't your kind of movie.  It's very, um, muted?  I would bet that you would spend the entire movie, or up until whenever you hit the EJECT button, wondering when the movie would begin.  It's less like a movie and more like a painting of Elvis on black velvet.

Dogs playing poker.

Or more accurately, dogs playing with themselves under the table while playing poker.

Hehe - well in all fairness the title of the link itself was a warning... ;)

Shhh! Don't listen to him, Cheddar. The Dark Side needs you.

Nah.
