I like to post at least twice a week but it just isn’t happening at the moment.
Some of the things I thought about posting on are:
- Chickengate – I wrote this whole thing for Big Footy and I was going to cross post it here but it has kind of past
- Those guys who tortured the goat – I hate that
- The Christmas Story – No really, Matthew and Luke’s versions of the birth of the Jesus are contradictory! I never knew. Some people reckon they just made that shit up!
- The Annotated Version of my Easter Cartoon – but no
- Something about squid
But I haven’t posted on any of these things.

go the squid!!
Dear FD,
Could you tell us about your breakfast? What is your position on dog bikkies? Do you believe ‘bikkkies’ is a QLD term only used by our PM? Do marrow bones help or hinder dental health?
ps we celebrity followers NEED these details
pps I meant bikkies. my keyboard burped.
I for one am keen to hear more about squid.
That’s a +1 from me re the squid.
while we’re waiting:
Squid are marine cephalopods of the order Teuthida, which comprises around 300 species. Like all other cephalopods, squid have a distinct head, bilateral symmetry, a mantle, and arms. Squid, like cuttlefish, have eight arms and two tentacles arranged in pairs. (The only known exception is the bigfin squid group, which have ten very long, thin arms of equal length.) Squid have differentiated from their ancestral molluscs in such a way that the body plan has been condensed antero-posteriorly and extended dorso-ventrally. What before may have been the foot of the ancestor is now modified into a complex set of tentacles and highly developed sense organs, including advanced eyes similar to those of vertebrates. The shell of the ancestor has been lost, with only an internal gladius, or pen, remaining. The pen is a feather-shaped internal structure which supports the squid’s mantle and serves as a site for muscle attachment. It is made of a chitin-like substance.”
Where can I get my body plan condensed antero-posteriorly and extended dorso-ventrally?
Check out the piglet squid
ahh the Christmas story. Anyone else notice the obscene similarities to many earlier solar “gods”
