Friday Cephalopod: Courtin’ time

They'd nver allow something like that in Amarillo

Years on this site and I'm still unsure of my cephalopod biology.

I get that the blue one is the priest, but the brownish one with the wide, terrified eyes: is that one an altar boy, an Irish child in a Catholic school, a nun, or a prostitute hired by the Vatican?

Like other cephalopods, the Caribbean Reef Squid, is semelparous, dying after reproducing. Females lay their eggs then die immediately after. The males, however, can fertilize many females in a short period of time before they die.

Still worth it. (Yay, Friday!)

"You make love like a damp squid," isn't an insult to everyone.

Oh, my...

Let this be a warning to all of you: be careful what pics you take "just for fun". Never know when suddenly they are all over the internet...

It looks like the Vorlon version of the Swiss Army knife.

Nah, Joey. I get that image of Nemo's Nautilus from LoEG in my mind.

Who knew (those that only saw the movie and not read the book) that Nemo was an ethnic Arab?

Am I blue?

I think they're way past the courtin' stage.
As my great aunt used to say, "they're wallerin' in the sheets !"(sans sheets)

Needs more sperm.

@ Glen Davidson #4:

damp squid

That put-down phrase would normally be "damp squib". Quite a different thing altogether.

Would PZ or any other scientist with lab space be willing to take on the responsibility of a spontaneously generated Crocoduck?
I only ask because I made 'creation of a complex organism' a requirement for proof of a deity after someone asked me what it would take to get me to believe.

hooooray!! I've been using that same image on my business cards and bank checks for the last four months!

Checks? People still use those?

Maybe it is just all of the arms, but squid sex sure looks like an awful lot of fun.

That put-down phrase would normally be "damp squib". Quite a different thing altogether.

And I can't make a word-play off of that phrase?

Yes, I know it's "squib," and that the "damp" refers to the fact that a squib won't light when damp.

Not that there won't always be someone to "correct" a little joke.

Geez, more F@$%en squid ;-)

Darmok and Jalad, at Tanagra. That is all.

Mr. Wagner, I was trying to pay attention, but I was distracted by your lovely friend.

Strangulation is "I love you" in Serpentine.

Captain Nemo was an Indian, according to Mysterious Island.
