10 thoughts on “when Octopus attack: scuba divers!!!”

1. Now do you see why dynamite fishing is so popular in the United States?

2. Yeah, but given how I feel about fish vs how I feel about (most) Americans, I’d be tempted to take up the sport in malls, not bodies of water.

3. Good point

4. Present company excepted, of course.

   Seen this? I think I have a new anthem.

5. That is a great video. Bowie is still Bowie.

6. Yes, but I’m liking Trent Reznor; he’s got the Snape hawtness going on now that he’s not a stringy emo junkie anymore.

7. This is just stupid–is it from Fox? Or maybe Discovery “When Animals Attack” Channel?

   Let’s review this catalogue of idiocy:

   1) Prior to shooting, diver enters wreck for first survey of interesting shot locations (ones show can play “Jaws” theme prior to “discovery” of some crabs).

   2) Diver discovers octopus, chillin’ with the characteristic massive pile of octopus garbage (shells ‘n’ stuff).

   3) Discussion of presence of octopus. Will this screw up the shoot?

   4) Decide to film octopus.

   5) Discover that unmoving octopi make for uninteresting television, looking, as they do, like “an orange trash bag full of jello stuffed down Karl Rove’s butt crack” (not my metaphor).

   6) Approach octopus, chivvy it out of its den. Pissed-off octopus turns red. Film red octopus.

   7) Discover that even red moving octopi aren’t that much more interesting for TV than unmoving ones, as there’s no opportunity to play “Jaws” theme.

   7) Get diver to advance to teasing distance.

   8) Film results of stupid diver teasing angry octopus.

   9) Write monologue–make sure to include the ludicrous phrase “deadly suckers”.

   10)During “afterward” interview, have stupid diver make sure to say that he’s “never seen such an aggressive octopus”.

   11) Sit back and wonder at the beauty and savagery of nature.

   This has all the sincerity of Disney’s “White Wilderness”.

8. Bad math and an inadvertent smiley. Sheesh.

   *Slopes off for overdue coffee.*

   at the risk of getting picked up by Homeland (in)Security, i concur. however, i tend to ignore, brush aside, and carry on my own business rather than wasting my effort trying to eradicate an increasing horde of idoits.

   ever notice how the people that you DON’T want to reproduce often have more opffspring than those that you actually would not mind populating the world? i think Huxley was onto something but everyone took it as a blleding heart call for equality for all.

10. Yep. There’s that stuff they spray on pigeon food to make them sterile; I’ve been tempted to dump it into reservoirs.
