May every blessing have this outcome
While carrying out some obscure and pointless ritual on the sea, an orthodox priest instead manages to catch the attention of something far more interesting.

There, there, poor little octopus. The eBil priestie man won’t hurt you.
McC2lhu doesn't want to know what you did there.:

Well, this just proves the premise of the Red Lights movie you pooh-poohed earlier. There’s all the mindless humminah-humminah of the swallowers of a bullshit mythology, et voila, octopodes! Magic, I tells ya, pure magic!

Er.. this doesn’t look like it ended all that well for the octopus.

Sadly, that does seem to be the case. It would have been better all round if a larger cephalpod had eaten the priest instead.

They do seem to be rather rough with the poor ‘pus. Why didn’t they just throw it back in the water?

Priest was asking the ocean to bless the humans with food. Ocean did that.

Aaaaaaaaaand to continue:
Ocean did that. Would seem impolite not to eat the food the ocean just provided. Might piss off the gods.

Is… is that a noodly appendage I see? The FSM has blessed us with his appearance! PBUH!

Good to see that some of the audience had the appropriate response to the ritual – laughter.
I thought the “singing” in the church I was forced to attend as a child was bad, but that was really bad.

Silly Orthodox clerics, blessing the sea in hopes of ensuring a bountiful harvest of seafood! It’s completely unreasonable and not at all like the time our parish’s Catholic priest blessed my parents’ new car to preserve it and its occupants from harm. That worked perfectly (until the accident in which it was totaled).

Three seconds into the video the words to the Newfoundland song “squid jigging ground” popped into my mind.

Where’s a giant squid when you need one? I guess we’ll have to wait until the 27th.

Oof, I started wincing when they were using various orifices to tug on the octopus.

I don’t really find this entertaining at all. And I guarantee the octopus didn’t.

Who caught who? Or, which caught which?
It looked for a moment there as if the mighty cephalopod had the upper hand. Or, the upper tentacle, or, the hand of a human in its tentacles.
Too bad that we didn’t get a better look at the second catch. Perhaps it pulled someone down into the cold, dark depths to explain their deeds to the darkest of underlords?

Another post demonstrating the endless idiocy of myers. Apparently seeing morons catch and otherwise harm an animal is a blessing! Oh, and interesting! I guess when you’ve tortured animals yourself in the lab (in the name of scientific progress, of course) seeing something like this is rather benign.

It is strangely appropriate that “Business School” abbreviates to “BS”.

Same here. Dangling a shiny object in the water and pulling it up and down is squid jiggin’. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijLPFNOhx_o

Mr proud of his Harvard mba should either get a refund or Harvard should sue him. Unless they can join together and bottle his distilled inabillity to read and from that derive a cure for dyslexia.

I’m pretty sure this is how everything got started in Innsmouth. We need a video of the next ritual, I bet it’s even more obscure, less comprehensible and gets much more dramatic results.
