Cephalopods and Pygmies

Well, it looks like Flying Monkey Warrior is taking the lead in winning 6 Degrees of Casey Serin to Dick Cheney, but Ogg, Schnapps and Wagga are close behind. This is a close race, so don't forget to cast your vote!

First, if it's dead, that would be necrophilia.

If it's live, then bestiality.

Baabaabaab doesn't condone bestiality, so it must be dead.

Murses. Foiled again.

@ Wagga:

It's just a new kind of codpiece. They're all the rage in R'lyeh.

If it's alive, I don't think he would want to try that with this jellyfish.

In other news absinthe is back. I haven't noticed it anywhere though.

Here is one of my favorites:

Here we are in New South Wales
Shearing sheep as big as whales, with
Leather necks and jaggy tails
And hides as tough as rusty nails.

When shearing comes, lay down your drums
Step to the boards you brand-new chums
With the rattum-rattum-rub-a-dub-dub
We'll send you back on the lime juice tub.

The brand new chums and cappy sons
Fancy they're the greatest guns.
Fancy they can shear the wool
But the beggars can only tear and pull.

Though you live beyond your means
Your daughters wear no crinolines;
Nor are they bothered by boots or shoes
But live wild in the bush with the kangaroos.

Oh it's home I'd like to be
Far from the bush and back country
Sixteen thousand miles I've come
To spend my life as a shearing bum.

I want to say something about the bottom picture but I am greatly conflicted about which way I want to go with it. Pondering...

Rather sad Gen X stats:
— 45 percent of women would buy 30 pairs of shoes before saving $30,000 in retirement assets.
— 65 percent of women and 48 percent of men said they do not know how a mutual fund works.

Little-known factoid about Absinthe:

Drinkers are often prone to a musical flatulence effect. In many cases the word "Honda" is clearly enunciated.

As we all know, Absinthe makes the fart growl Honda.

*groan*

@wagga,
I was completely unaware of that factoid :). It explains a few passages in _Naked Lunch_ though.

Does that bloke know that octopuses, (octopi, or octopodes) have beaks? Sharp biting instruments!

On the other hand, it's instructive to note that some cephalopods have a rigid structure known as a cuttlefish internal to their bodies. Maybe bloke has ED issues?

Count me out.

Okay wagga took one of the AOA (angles of attack) I was pondering. By process of elimination that leaves me wondering: If you have pictures of intimate human-mollusk contact, where do you phylum? Get it? Phylum? Never mind.

@ Edgar

In a special genius family's ordered classy phylum cabinet?

wagga said...

PS. I've started to watch a movie called "The Saddest Susic in the World" Love. Politics. Beer.

What's not to like?

Besides, Isabella Rosselini plays a legless baroness & it features an amnesiac nymphomaniac. Now if she owns a chain of liquor stores..

@ wagga, you sed:

In a special genius family's ordered classy phylum cabinet?

Or possibly a spatial genus .BIO extension class?

Akubi said...

Safeway.com doesn't deliver absinthe! WTF?!
Isabella Rosselini is still married to David Lynch isn't she? I hope so. They're the perfect couple.

Akubi said...

Those "fish" look tasty btw.

I'd forgotten that grocery stores in California can sell liquor. In my neck of the woods they can only sell beer & wine.

Akubi said...

I need to pay more attention to absinthe offerings though.
