No, just a little down sometimes. Still, when you're this low there's nowhere to go but up, my mom always used to say.

The resemblance is uncanny. It's the beard that does it, I think.

More like Cutiefish. (Yay, Friday, even though I'm off work today.)

I always hope they're as wise as they appear to believe themselves to be.

As usual, the cuttlefish is pondering his superiority to the arrogant mammals.

BTW Movable Type is up to its old tricks - took me ages to sign in today. (If Movable Type had been invented by cuttlefish, it would work perfectly every time, or so our tentacled overlords tell me.)

Hey Cuttle, I'll be giving you a couple of click-throughs each day. Just doing my part to knock AiG down a notch.

ARRRRRGGGGGGGG!

"Cuttlefish are marine animals of the order Sepiida belonging to the Cephalopoda class (which also includes squid, octopuses, and nautiluses)."

Wikipedia MUST be amended to correct this!

Yep. Maybe it's because you mentioned it, but I SWEAR I see a resemblance. It's the eyes!
