Cephalopod fans if you can find the Blue Realm episode "Tentacles" check it out. It's about researchers who are studying if they have language, specifically refer squid. The researchers are looking at the color patterns the exhibit on their skin and see if it's a visual language.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Kristin, have you looked on Beliefnet? That seems like the sort of info they would have.

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

I just remembered. The guy who might be my scuba instructor recently got married, and they had the reception in an aquarium. They had penguins at their reception!

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Hooray for penguin rich receptions!

On Chuck I love the song that's playing for the (spoiler) tango. It's a great song.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So, I got it my head that what I need are black and brown spectator pumps. Like these, maybe: [link] Except they don't exist! WTF.

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

That's fine reception. Their union will be blessed!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey billytea! I was wishing for your company yesterday because when i went out I spotted a fairly large hawk perched at bottom bar of a large advertising sign.

It was about 10-12 inches from head to foot, and when it took off its wingspan was probably around 16 inches. Yellow legs. Brown and white feathers in an interesting pattern on its chest. The head actually looked a little more like a falcon than a hawk. A little flatter on top.

Actually it was kind of a dead ringer for the Maltese Falcon.

Any guesses? Anybody else? Is paperdol around? I know she's a birder.

Not really enough for me to make a call, sorry.
