People send me things that put lust in my heart.

I want one of these.

I want some of these, too.

I need a seal like this so I can stamp all my official correspondence with it.
Clearly, there will be a future need for Space Squid Conservationists.

MinnObserver sent me this photo from the state fair: even here in the midwest, people are gluing seeds into the form of very angry octopuses. Portents? Omens? Subconscious resonance with the Great Old Ones? Who knows.

Also, Mark Chu-Carroll finds a similarly ominous sculpture. It looks to be in the strange genre of cyclopic cephalopods.
Plans for my army of zombie cephalopod-cyborgs proceed apace. First target: Holland!

Go ahead, open the dikes—nothing will stop them.

They’re rather dark and murky, but here: home movies of a creature smarter than any fundamentalist.
It’s cute, but where did this cartoon convention of one-eyed cephalopods get started?

Oooh, I love this idea: art prints on a plastic adhesive that you just stick on the wall. They’ve got squid art! Unfortunately, they’ve also got a hefty price, and doubly unfortunately, my wife has this annoying thing called “taste” which precludes me slapping squid up everywhere in my house.

People like the Disgruntled Chemist see stuff like this, and they just think, “PZ!”

Of course, it is breakfast time, and I’m thinking…man oh man, I could go for a big bowl of tasty Squid Chunks right now. Mmmm-mmmm. Piquant, and they slide down so smooth and easy.
I could be their ‘celebrity’ pitchman!
