Relativity and Seafood: An Update

That's just the steam escaping

If Einstein taught us anything, my friends, it’s that perspective is reality. Now, we’ve looked at the issue of perspective and seafood before on the ol’ raincoaster blog. Lately the meme has spread, yea even unto the highest reaches of Automattic, where Matt has examined the eternal question from the Anuran point of view.

With the passage of time often comes new angles, new viewpoints, new horizons, and raincoaster herself is not exempt from the machinations and wearings of temporal transit. Indeed, from my new vantage point as a parenting blogger, I find myself shunning the simple, yet easy and cheap, cartoons of yesteryear and engaging more authentically with photographs, as they are more accurate, indeed almost narcissistically so, representations of the real world and thus, more relevant to my more introspective, navel-gazey daily life now. No more cheap jokes with line-drawn crustaceans! No, our new standard demands more; it demands typical scenes that could be taken from my very life!

Baby Lobster, and doesn\'t she look pleased?

The LOL of Cthulhu

I mean, what IS that? Those bottom ones look like emo piranhas posing for the poster for Silence of the Lambs. As for the top one, it looks like the guy who semi-stalked me my first year at UBC.

The frondy first fish actually looks to be some sort of sculpin, otherwise known by the Inuit, who know an ugly fish when they see one, as the Ugly Fish. They are very no-nonsense, these Innu. But it is not this kind of sculpin, which is 7% alcohol. Even fish can’t drink that much.

Strangely, neither of these species made the list of Ten Ugliest Fish.

Cthulhu finds his dream job

We all have one, and sometimes we find it in the strangest place:

Feeding Time in Rlyeh

These allegedly endangered Moon Jellyfish don’t look so all-fired rare or endangered to me; they look exactly like the loathsome, throbbing masses of protoplasm that make kayaking in Indian Arm such an unpleasant experience at migration time. Seriously, with those damn paddles it’s like lading up jellyfish soup and watching it slide down the ladle onto your hand, then taking another stroke and ladling up some more on the other side. And the herds, swarms, masses, go on for literally miles.

No wonder people love motorboats: puree!

Cum for the Show!

As our devoted readers know, we at the ol’ raincoaster blog are vigorously opposed to sexism. Naturally, then, it is with mixed feelings that we present the following: it is both too bizarre to ignore and by its very nature completely sexist:
