This simply must be seen to be believed. They’re geniuses, the headline writers over there at Fark, and I’d blogroll them if only I could be arsed to make it through their tedious sign-up process (same goes for you, too, Wheaton, although come to think of it, I DID blogroll you. You’re cuter than Drew, though).
The Official raincoaster blog Headline o’ the Day:
Crushing all in its path, Blackzilla has taken giant strides to the head of the raincoaster blog, with over 100 google hits over the past two days. Darren and Joanne? Ovah. Beautiful Agony? Suffering. Mad mentos and diet coke Scientists? Sputtering out.
The upcoming newcomers, all of whom have had their thunder stolen by my several-days-old Blackzilla posting, include T.W.A.T. in the Air, which several clueless commentors failed to identify as a joke, thus making themselves into punchlines; the Canadian patriotic post Beaver Shots (inexplicable; whodathunk Canadians would be so popular, eh?); and We Are All Gwyneth, for who among us is not, really?
It’s not every day a mild-mannered MidWesterner catches a six-foot Pacific Octopus in the Ohio River, but it was Monday. Via Sploid.
“I thought, ‘This guy’s got to be drunk,’ ” Putt
said. But “we looked at it and that’s what it was.”
The octopus might take the prize for weird discoveries at the falls, where park crews and visitors have found crocodiles and piranha-like tropical fish over the years — animals probably kept as pets and released by owners into the river and onto river banks.
If the Calamari Wrestler ever finds out who killed his cousin, the slime will fly!
Here’s a handy-dandy map of Ohio, just so you can wrap your head around how very far our Octopoid masters have learned to portage:
A more or less po-faced remake of Rocky, with the Giant Squid in the role formerly played by Sylvester Stallone. Who can tell them apart, eh?
Can I get a transcript? Any bilingual Japanese Squid fanciers out there?
This wild comedy pokes fun at the world of pro-wrestling by placing its accomplished wrestler protagonist Koji Taguchi against a giant squid known as the Calamari Wrestler. The Calimari Wrestler not only proves to be Koji‘s most difficult opponent yet, but also has an effect on several people’s personal lives when he becomes the unlikely object of a young girl’s affection. A quirky plot, kitsch costumes, and a bizarre romance make director Minoru Kawasaki‘s (ULTRAMAN TIGA) effort an interesting and entertaining watch.
Who better to ask than the famous DrySquid Cowboy? An Elvis-talkin’, cephalopodian, ten-gallon-hatted cartoon figure is, frankly, no less authoritative on the Middle East than anyone else who seems to get on the news lately.
