Brad DeLong has renamed his blog, formerly "J. Bradford DeLong's Grasping Reality with Both Hands," to "J. Bradford DeLong's Grasping Reality with All Eight Tentacles". This is excellent: the conversion process has begun, and the teuthid clan still outnumber him by two.

Other blog makeovers to anticipate: I Can Has Cheezburger will be renamed to "I Can Has Crustacean" and will go to an all-cute-invertebrate format, BoingBoing will revamp as "SquishSquish," and Perez Hilton will focus on the most garish chromatophore displays by celebrity cephalopods.

There is much to look forward to in our bright molluscan future.

A google image search for "lolsquid" came up with the following:

I, for one, welcome our new octavian overlords.

I'll be changing mine any day now to STARTLING MOLLUSKER, and commencing my broadcasts from the deep.

Surely you'll need four teuthids just to equal DeLong, if your metric is tentacles rather than arms.

haiku, Cuttlefish? Don't you know those Japanese would just love to turn you into sushi!

Posted by: Carlie | December 8, 2009 9:33 AM

Cuttlefish? There can be Only One.

I can't believe you just linked to Perez Hilton. There is not much on that tabloid blag about celebrity cephalopods (yet), but I now know that Kanye thinks it is insulting to call people "squid brains" &mdash shouldn't that be a compliment?

Posted by: Christophe Thill | December 8, 2009 9:48 AM

That LOLsquid is just... just... lovecraftian. I'm sure it can speak. In a weird, deep voice.

@#8...

Aratina, I'm really happy for you, and imma let you finish, but squids have one of the best brains of all time!

...and Uncommon Descent will replace the picture of a flagellum with a picture of a tentacle.

Wait, what?

I think the LOLsquid spelling would be "I Can Has Crustayshun".

There is a site called squidsquid.com - fairly similar. Awesome cephalopod-based games.

I once belonged to a computer club that had a "Duncan Squidbrain" on its membership roster. I'm still sorry that I never met the guy.

I just had to explain to everyone that sits near me in the office what "I thought was so funny", then explain to my boss why I was fucking around on the internet. Kahless, I love this site.

"...will revamp as "SquishSquish"

I know I'm dating myself here, but when I read this part all I could think about was the Barney Miller "pot brownies" episode with Jack Soo.

Yes, total brainfart, I know.

I'm gonna go away now...
