Jumbo Squid: we’re in ur oeshunz, attakin ur videocameras

Yes, another YouTube. I tried to hold off on this one (hey, seafood stays fresh for a long time, right?) but got scooped by weirdscience and poked by StilettoGirl, and so can contain myself no longer!

Let my Calamari go!

Dosidicus gigas wants to be free!

Ia! Ia! Cthulhu Fhtagn!

So who cares if they’re in California, eating all the seafood. We’ve got an inundation of tourists eating all of ours, up and down the coasts of Robson Street, and you don’t hear us complaining, though nary a Prawn Skewer they leave for us locals!

Come to think of it, if I ever start a rock band I’m totally gonna call it Jumbo Squid Invasion!

the flying jellyfish of Singapore

Jellyfish Balloons of SingaporeJellyfish Balloons of Singapore

As constant readers know, we at the ol’ raincoaster blog just can’t get enough of the gigantic, icky Jellyfish thang. I think (we thinks?) we’ve been traumatized ever since we went kayaking during the Great Indian Arm Jellyfish Migration and ended up accidently scooping them onto the paddles with every stroke, wherefrom they would sliiiiiiiiiide down the handle and onto our hands YUCJYUCKYIKUGH and then plop onto the spray skirt, where we’d have to flick them off with the back of our hand encased in a plastic bag, ew!

But we’re over that.

In any case, imagine our thrillation and excititivity when we found that according to the Guardian (source of the above flying jellyfish imagey corroboration) Singapore has apparently got an entire festival devoted to giant, flying jellyfish. Well all we can say is, if there were giant flying jellyfish around these parts, we’d be all for The Festival. Festivities? Festivatin’, yo. Gotta keep ’em happy; the specter of a world filled with giant, flying, pissed-off jellyfish is too horrible to bear!

See food. Seafood. See food strike back!

Make it from scratch? Puh-leeze! There are easier ways to satisfy a craving for seafood. Who needs the real thing when Japan and McDonald‘s do fake so very well? This tag team of Giant Octopus and Enormo-CollossoGigantor Squid is enough to put any budding Iron Chef off.
