Don't squid also have that weird bone thing ?
They have a beak. I think that's the only hard part of their bodies....
Congratulations to the class of 1999. You all proved more or less adequate.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I think that's what the birds like. I'm having strange flashbacks to having read a lot of pet care books as a kid.
Boy, was I wild and crazy! Sheesh.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Maybe people stuff a cuttlefish inside a squid, and make squish.
You can stuff both inside an octopus and make yourself an octosquish.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
If tommyrot is a parakeet, he's a very tall one. And not especially greenish-yellowish, from what I recall.
"octosquish" is a much better word than "turducken".

I can't even.
squids, cuttlefishes, octopuses, and allies
No one else is alarmed that the cephalopods have ::allies::!?! We're doooooooooomed and not in a cute reptilefan-actuary-returns-home-and-finds-love kind of way.

Yep. Which I've always known were called cuttlefish bones. But it was a revelation to me that they actually came from, well, squid. I learned this shortly after I dined on squid for the first time (verdict: nah) fresh from the Indian Ocean. The prep table was covered with those things.
I never knew. Never occured to me to wonder.

I just passed a woman in the hall carrying a book titled, in BIG letters, "The World of Cephalopods."
He wants to know if we'd be interested in a documentary on mollusks.

Yes, but the cephalopods count penguins amongst their enemies, so I think we're safe....

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
You can stuff both inside an octopus and make yourself an octosquish.
And once you're an Octosquish YOU CAN RULE THE WORLD.
