Giant Squid Invade Florida

[GrizzlerBorno]

Wait, so did the Fishermen kill it? Or did it die at the Oceanographic research-y...place?

Such an important news that the Editor-in-Chief had to come down from his throne and write the news post himself, lest his minions do a botched job, eh?

Also, I'm still confused about whether your avatar is a picture of Kane or Paul Giamatti.

That's not Paul Giamatti........... I... hope.

It's Waaaay more fun to imagine Russ Pitts as Kane.

.....And Susan Arendt as that crazy protagonist from that bizarre game, (who's name I can't remember right now); the woman in her avatar.

Beware thee who dwell on these unfortunate shores! For here dwell the monsters of the deep. Here they be. And they cometh for thee. Heed my words, for they will come. From the deep they will come.

Giant Squid Invade Florida

It really speaks to how movies have disillusioned me that, for a moment, I said to myself, "That qualifies as giant? It's like a Cthulhu-Patch-Kid." But I will say, having been in the water with fish of this size... they really scary as hell.

And the thing that gets you the most? A fish (or cephalopod, as the case may be) this big makes absolutely no sound, and it can come at you from any direction. Humbling.

(So, please, if you know any giant squid, don't tell them about that Cthulhu-path crack. Please...)

Tentacle monsters in an icehockey stadium? What's this, Old Man Henderson?

Some things just have to be handled by the boss.

Also, that avatar image is actually me.

That is a lot of calamari.

hahahaa love it "here there be monsters"!

It's not a squid; it's just an alien that looks like squid.

By killing it, Mister Benz, you will bring down the wrath of this warrior race upon us.

You've doomed Earth.

I hope you're happy.

I'm not terribly afraid of a warrior race whose vanguard attacker got offed by a bunch of fishermen.

Besides, if things get too hairy, we'll just get Will Smith to punch them out, before tossing a witty one-liner and lighting a cigar.

 

[Arkvoodle]

Anyone for calamari?

 

[Greyhawk]

thank god they didnt eat the damn thing!

Good thing they didn't. Giant Squid flesh is chock full of ammonia. Its how they maintain bouancy without air bladders.

On another note, what the bloody, bloody, bloody hell was that thing doing in Florida waters?! Hell of a long way from Newfoundland...

kekekeke

[Harley Duke]

Finally something pale, squishy and hellishly oversized floating around in Florida waters that isn't just a fat tourist from Vermont.

Man the harpoons men.

"This particular squid, caught 12 miles offshore from Port Solerno, weighed 200 pounds and was brought to shore unharmed, but expired shortly thereafter."

"According to Van Os, the fisherman "did a good job" catching the squid and bringing him to shore for study, saying it was "really good they recognized what they had."".

Yes, good job people. You killed a squid that was before totally unharmed. Way to go!

If we keep this up we could rival humanity's greatest achievement yet, the extinction of the dodo.

I have no idea who that is. The picture comes off google search and the text was made up by myself to add some "old man yells at cloud" feel to it or something.

OMH is the only character who ever won Call of Cthulhu. The whole story is pretty hilarious, but the finale in particular involved a zombie horde, a few shoggoths, an ice hockey stadium, a load of explosive hockey pucks and a manifestation of the Elder God Hastur itself. Good stuff.

i knew it....the squids are mobilizing against humans to be the dominant species on earth and use our own technology! The once they invade florida the crocodilians will wait until both sides tire each out and then attack to rule the earth as they did 100 million years ago!!!

GAME OVER MAN GAME OVER!!!!

yep, because one caught squid outside of it normal environment is the equivalent of a bird extinction due to over hunting and releasing destructive animals in an ecosystem that they don't belong in.
