International Cephalopod Awareness Day!

Holy crap! I forgot that it’s International Cephalopod Awareness Day!! Crap! Crap! Crap! I’ve only got a couple of hours to get into my costume (I made it myself!) and await the tides, the tides, the tiiiiiiiiiiiides…..
(Ann hates this day because she only has a store-bought costume. Bwaaahaaahahaa.)

(Thanks, Matt, for reminding me–he shames me with his cephalopod devotion.)

Thanks for participating in ICAD. And no worries. You still have Cephalopodmas to look forward to. And that holiday includes the exchanging of gifts. Or at least secretions, I think.

I didn’t eat any squid or octopus yesterday, that must count for something.

Oooooh! I ate some calamari yesterday. Sorry. Well, not really. I actually enjoyed it quite a bit. I’m a voracious squid eater. ; )

My father admonishes me for this particular taste, saying: “Squid? That’s not food . . . that’s bait.”
I, however, know different.

[...] I can make up for it now. Jeff made two posts (here and here). You should also check out the giant octopus page at the very wonderful Monterey Bay [...]
