You guys are incredibly insensitive. This poor creature is DEAD and you’re all practically dancing on it’s grave.
THE HORROR, THE HORROR! :eek:
The CNN photo caption said the thing continued to be bantered by the waves. I’d like to see that.
I doubt it was very interesting masonite, I’ve never found waves to be capable of much banter. A little small talk at best.
It’s obviously a Thing, from the Dungeon Dimensions.
Anybody seen Rincewind lately?
It’s not a tumor.
Oh, and has anyone said Slip and Slide! yet?
Beagle, Greenback, I would point out that drop said that he takes pleasure in not being able to recognize rotting whale skin by smell…a sentiment with which I am in full agreement, BTW.
I’m thinking it’s a Shoggoth. Or maybe the first attempt at a cetacean prophylactic, gone horribly awry.
This headline from the Yahoo! message board cracked me up:
BUSH TO CREATURE: “BRING IT ON”
Anyone else reminded of Alan Moore’s The Watchmen?
I know but I’m not in agreement. Is there a handbook so I can amaze my friends at our next beach party? Does drop give out tips? Weekend training sessions?
I need to know this. How am I supposed to impress the ladies if I can’t tell what type of rotting flesh is washed up on the beach? Oh wait. I think I found my problem with women.
Good point, Balance. I read it wrong. I can’t discern whale smell either. It’s all nasty fishy smell to me. :smack:
Yahoo has a slideshow. Giant octopus? :eek:
I can’t vouch for this site, but it has what appears to be a good summary of the giant octopus controversy. I remember hearing about the St. Augustine ‘creature.’
Great. Turns out it’s probably a giant octopus. That’s so much better than a giant squid. :rolleyes:
I wonder if it was eaten by a sick whale who partially digested it before throwing up and dieing.
Maybe the whale had SARS.
Or the whale had West Nile Virus.
Damn mosquitos, they ruin everything.
Rubbish! Where’s your sense of adventure? I want to need to keep watch for ginat squid, and goblin sharks(if only they could rise to the surface) and megalodons while I swim. More, I want to have dodge sasquatch, skunk apes, and MothMen on the way to the beach. A world without monsters is no world I want to live in.
BTW- I just read today’s Philadelphia Inquirer. The world’s deepest diving robot sub was lost in may. Coincidence? I Think not.
Malkavia
Well then,… May I have this dance?
I dunno what it is…but it’s gross.
Giant octopus, eh? Maybe it’s this guy!
Screw DNA samples. Look around for a bowler hat.
Oops, I knew I shouldn’t have thrown that used condom overboard…
Has anyone seen Roseanne lately?
Rmember when Rush Lumbaugh lost all that weight? I’m thinking secret liposuction and a midnight dumping of the “leftovers” in the Pacific.
