I have this problem all the time

Call tentacle support.

Apparently the Griffin family in Quahog, RI, has a squid as a house pet. Perhaps you could ask them where they got theirs (although they appear to be none too pleased with it; perhaps it fights with the evil monkey in the son's closet).

I thought evil militant liberal atheist darwinistas ate babies for breakfast. Now we know the toof! It's the pet that eats 'em!

So what do evil militant liberal atheist darwinistas eat?

nice link. Shannon Wheeler makes some of the smartest, coolest comics out there. Too Much Coffee Man is super-great. They did an OPERA of it at the recent Comic-Con here in SD. I met the cast. I've met Shannon a few times, and he always gracefully puts up with my fanboy idiocy. I'm actually wearing at this second, while typing, a TMCM shirt based on a design found on a pirated Zippo in Japan, that Wheeler re-pirated from them.

and yes, I'm a complete nerd, in my own special way.

Now why would you like to develop land squids? Everyone knows that the problem of land life is all what stands between us and our tentacled overlords.

English muffins?

Having a land squid would certainly make the trip into uni in the morning more interesting. And my parents could stop worrying about me living in the bad part of town, at least. Who would try to mug me while I was riding a giant squid?

Unless my enemies also aquired land squids and formed some kind of land squid gang, bent on destruction. Then what would happen to the world? This technology is clearly evil and should be stopped.

Surely you know the plight of the endangered tree octopus:

Barely as robust a population as Sasquatch, and you want pets?

You know, I see the same reaction by my Scottish wife whenever someone refers to her as being English....

Your wife eats your friends?

Your wife eats your friends?

Entirely justifiable, by the sound of it.

Having my own land cephalopod to ride would be the greatest thing ever. I'd have to get one for my son, though, too. (I was so proud the day he asked me to make him some "octopus pants.")

Monty ran an octopus strip on the weekend as well (oops - instead of a squid strip, I should say. Don't eat me):

PZ, I think your best bet might be Land's End...

>perhaps it fights with the evil monkey in the son's closet).

Isn't it about time that monkey got spanked?

Does anyone know where I could pick up one of those babies?

I bet Mark Tatulli or Gary Larson would know.
