It seems that the common or garden Giant Squid has mutated into this woolly, tree-climbing subspecies. Readers in forested, coastal areas are strongly cautioned to carry an umbrella at all times! As well as the Elder Sign.
From Laura via Squid.us, and sure you can substitute cashmere if you’re really literal-minded.
How many times have I been asked about my fascination with the Giant Squid (and spillover fascinations with the Colossal Squid, Giant Sharks, Octopus, Cthulhu, and, really, anything big and crawly or big and carnivorous in the ocean)?
I understand that there are those who do not get this. These poor, deprived people have mild, torpid souls like vast expanses of blancmange, studded here and there with a dollop of something white and fatty, but never a hint of danger, of spice…
Of Squid.
Why the squid? Here’s why.
from The Darker Side. I know Chertoff will be thrilled to see the security measures that are in place along the US/Canadian border. Note that we are in the US, looking towards White Rock. And yeah, this is where the MinuteMorons are stationed.
Got this via Fark. I’m not sure what it means, and my University education compels me to take the next hour to diagram it out, then write an essay where the number of pages of essay > the number of words in the sentence. That way, I’m guaranteed an “A;” only the really conscientious profs add “may be over-reading it” under the grade, and I try not to hang out with conscientious people, as it harshes my mellow.
The sentence o’ the day, from Wikipedia via Fark:
Redirected from Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo)
“Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.” is a grammatically valid sentence used as an example of how homonyms and homophones can be used to create complicated constructs. It was featured in Steven Pinker‘s 1994 book The Language Instinct, but is known to have been around before February 1992 when it was posted to Linguist List by William J. Rapaport, an associate professor at the University at Buffalo.[1]
Sentences of this type, although not in such a refined form, have been known for a long time. A classical example is a proverb “Don’t trouble trouble until trouble troubles you”.
Also with bonus Boris!
Seriously, people, you’re freaking me out here. 
Much as I dislike seeing searchers for Mango Porno on my blog, and as tired as I got of Lucy Fucking Gao and her merry band of email forwarders, I’m really quite sick of this now.
