We love having you comment here at First Blog On The Moon but it’s a little bit difficult for discussion to continue uninterrupted on specific posts when off-topic comments land in the middle of them. So when I can’t think of anything else to do I will cop out and start an open thread where you can leave comments that don’t quite fit on one of the other posts as long as they are about squid. Remember that tip-offs can be made here. But only about squid.
Have at it!

You forgot to italicise your parentheses. Fair point about all of the other stuff though. I apologise unreservedly for everything ever. And I know you don’t edit people’s comments to say whatever you like.
Expect to hear from my lawyers, Mr Onthemoon. They are having a party and would like you to attend because you are so clever and witty.
Squid are gentle and shy. Poor things.
Ahem! Cough, cough. Today is my what you had last Wednesday. Sic transit gloria del mundi. (which sounds over the top but wasn’t meant to be.)
Oh dear. JF Beck will be wetting his pants over this one.
I saw a squid once. Then I found five bucks.
What a day.
I found a squid once. It was delicious with a little bit of flour then quickly fried with fresh chilli and ginger…..
oh no! I missed out on squid discussion day, under the assumption of an extension, I will contribute:
squid was on my sushi today, it was raw. I’m not too keen on the consistency, but I ate it anyway attempting to appear brave in front my peers… I don’t think it worked, as they saw my facial expression.
I wonder, is a cuttlefish a type of squid? And if so (or not) – why do birds like them when dry? Does this pairing occur naturally in the wild?
Regards.
It is ok Peta – we will continue with the squid discussion thread as it appears that those democracy hating buffoons from Pure Poison are busy hating democracy somewhere else. What is it about the left and squid? It would be good if someone could answer Peta’s questions without resorting to Google. Dan – that is the post of the thread so far.
At great personal danger I have determined that alien squid are the root cause of climate change. They have mastered the art of mind control and have infiltrated businesses and politicians world wide. These alien squid originated from a world of oceans which are quite like ours except that they are warmer and more acidic. Their objective is the transformation of our oceans so that their ruling class can continue their domination of habitable planets galaxy wide. They are known throughout the galaxy as the BoldenwAter squid. They are particularly ugly and deceitful little squid skilled in manipulation of the masses through media releases and misinformation.
In Bangkok, you can buy spicy squid on a stick at street stalls for only 20 baht. They have a big plastic tub of squid, mostly dead but not always. They chuck it straight on the hotplate where it sort of sizzles and pops. If it wasn’t dead to start with it soon is. When it is nicely charred they skewer it on a satay stick and dip it in a bucket of spice sauce and hand it to you. If you are a westener they usually offer you a plastic bag and a napkin so the sauce doesn’t get everywhere when you it eat – the Thais are very practised at eating street food off sticks without making a mess. I presume the squid comes out of the Chao Phraya river which flows through the city like a large warm drain, which is a bit worrying, but it’s never done me any harm.
Vinegared squid – the kind you can order in many Japanese restaurants – is really quite delicious.
Murky business chasing squid.
On a matter on the periphery how do you make that film promo for the kid in the pajamas shut up Every time I open the blog they start yapping at me. I would never go to the film in a month of Sundays so give up on the promo already. I would rather eat raw squid.
Giant squids are seriously cool. They have eyes the size of bus tyres, can devour whole ships whole and are generally terrifying. My favourite sea-dwellers by far!
Ha-ha-ha. It doesn’t get better than this.
Did you know that squids invented fisting?
