cartoon octopus sightings

[nanoteuthis]

Well, over here in S E Asia, squid and cuttles are regarded as more or less the same thing. I don't know why but they don't seem to tell the difference

It's always surprised me that in the cultures where Cephs are most commonly present (Asian and Polynesian), they seem to make the least amount of linguistic distinction between the various species. But this happens in many cultures with many kinds of animals -- I guess that's why scientific names of species were invented

Almost as bad as the pickled jellyfish our boss made us try

I once ordered cold shredded jellyfish as an appetizer at a Chinatown restaurant. Looked like sauerkraut. Tasted like rubber bands. Had a couple of bites. Will not be doing so in the future. Would rather eat Vegemite.

I think both jellyfish and Vegemite taste good

Anyway, I was watchin Tom and Jerry a couple of hours ago and there was this episode where Tom was having a dream ( while drowning). Tom was chasing Jerry who had become a mermouse and an octopus grabbed him.

Well thats my dumb cartoon octopus sighting.

Joel, I'm with you, but not really on the vegemite, it's too salty, but goes well on celery (in small doses). I like jellies, but I don't want to eat a whole one? a whole serving? an entire order? by myself.

Do octos eat jellies? I suppose that's a question for the cephkeepers. In another thread, a sort of anemone pest was mentioned as shrimp food, which in turn became octopus food.

I doubt they would eat jellies.I mean their skin isn't tough and looks pretty stingable. A bit of vegemite on toast and wheat crackers are nice.

TOGETHER???

Do octos eat jellies?

Not that I know of, but hard to tell in gut content analysis cos soft bodied critters like this digest very easily.

course one way to tell would be .....if you see an octi going




It probably ate a jelly!!

No, jellies are better with sesame oil.

Nothing, if they're grape jellies.

I did not mean the both of them together, seperately, on their own.

Hardy har har....( there should be a sarcasm smiley )

How did we get onto the topic of vegemite and jellyfish. We all have short attention spans eh?

 

[joel_ang]

No offence Vegemite but songs like that are extremely annoying,
high
especially when sung in pitch.
