Friday Cephalopod: Haughty octopus

Haughctopus?

That one's a lot more prickly-looking than the squishable (but anatomically incorrect) version:

i've been looking at cephalopods in a whole new way after eating my first couple o' squids for lunch today. mm.

i don't think i'd eat that octopus though. looks rather chewy.

That's another cute fish.

I don't know. It seems to be showing disapproval. (The disapproving rabbits have invertebrate competition!)

Woah! I thought that was an astronomical photo for the first few seconds :D

Shh..

don't wake him.

My cat gives me exactly the same look sometimes.

Don't you mean Hottie Octopus?

When you see an octopus in profound meditation,
     The reason, I tell you, is always the same:
His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation
     Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name:
          His ineffable effable
               Effanineffable
                    Deep and inscrutable singular Name.

— T. Squid Eliot, "The Naming of Cephalopods"

Actually I think he looks like he just cut one and he's looking for a dog to blame it on.
