You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This is so excellent. I'm speechless. And I love that first picture, it's so fitting.

I saw a program on TV about Humboldt Squid the other night. They are nasty critters, with teeth on their suckers, and a habit of leaping out at anything that moves, especially divers. (They are probably 3 feet long, not 25.)

They can reach 6 feet long, including tentacles. And yes, can be quite aggressive. Humboldt also has a penguin named after him. They live on the west coast of South America, and are no doubt cuter to most people than the squid. (For me, though, I prefer the squid here. There are cuter penguins around, but the Humboldt is an A-grade squid.)

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I was beginning to question the foundations of our relationship. Thank god television makes all those uncomfortable questions go away!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

So tonight's Supernatural was the one with Amy Acker, if any left coasters are interested.

Cool.

Danger is my middle name, only I spell it R. u. t. h. - Tina Belcher.

I'm flipping between TAR and Nip/Tuck, which is apparently going for the gross-out record this season. Sheesh, I may give it up altogether.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Live giant squid photographed for the first time

It kinda bugs me that they hooked the squid and then let it sever one of its own tentacles as it made its bid for freedom.

The photograph makes it look like they caught it with its mouth open. Do you think the poor squid is home thinking, "Damn, I finally make the papers and they have to publish a pick of me shoving food in my mouth!"?

Am I projecting my own issues onto the poor squid?

From the Tom Cruise lectures link earlier today....

Co-sponsored by the Citizens Commission on Human Rights, the lectures will be held at Scientology's Celebrity Centre International in Los Angeles.

Ummm.... The Citizen's Commission on Human Rights is an perfidiously named division of Scientology, so in effect, these lectures are sponsored by Scientology, and co-sponsored by FUCKING SCIENTOLOGY.
