New York offered some land-octopus sightings last week. These cartoons were sent by a friend who is a frequent TONMO guest.

The octo with the clear siphon and five visible legs is from a sushi menu. The other is a sticker seen on a parking meter. :bonk:

Melissa

cool, very nice pics, thanks for telling us about em'.
So....when will there be tonmo stickies for download? :D

Melissa,

Here's the Avenue A octo's cranky Japanese cousin (http://www.dedaito.com/frame/ariake_sea/sign/fujiharu/tako.gif), flipping out and inking.

Clem

I'd ink too if the sushi chef was after me!

Thanks, Clem!

Melissa

Does a squid count? She has such a pretty ribbon....

Where's that from?

It was on some squid chips that I got from the Chinatown in my city, I took that pic and threw out the wrapper, so I don't remember what they were called, or even if there was any English on them at all.

Um,

You wouldn't turn down squid chips offered by a cute little bunny, would you?

Do I get to eat the little lagomorph for dessert? :twisted:

I see someone has been puffing the majic dragon..and for some time, hehe, j/k. That sounds kinda weird to tell you the truth. :P

Well I did buy them mostly for the cutie picture, but after they were sitting on my desk for a while....


.... they weren't 1/2 bad. :oops:

Oh, cool! Melissa and I had lunch in Manhattan's Chinatown a few weeks ago, and we bought a bag of Squid Chips for Tony. (Well, actually they were Cuttlefish Chips, but they had a pic of a Squid on the front.) Anyway, the chips were stamped with all kinds of really cute seafood images, but we don't know how they tasted because -- well, we sent them to Tony. Tony, how did they taste?

I see the barcode. :D

(Well, actually they were Cuttlefish Chips, but they had a pic of a Squid on the front.)

Well, over here in S E Asia, squid and cuttles are regarded as more or less the same thing. I don't know why but they don't seem to tell the difference :evil: I have to admit, squid chips ARE nice.....though I'm allergic to them. :heee:

It's always surprised me that in the cultures where Cephs are most commonly present (Asian and Polynesian), they seem to make the least amount of linguistic distinction between the various species. But this happens in many cultures with many kinds of animals -- I guess that's why scientific names of species were invented :)

We sometimes sell Octopus chips (Tako Chips) at the aquarium, All I can say is

I once ordered cold shredded jellyfish as an appetizer at a Chinatown restaurant. Looked like sauerkraut. Tasted like rubber bands. Had a couple of bites. Will not be doing so in the future. Would rather eat Vegemite.

I think both jellyfish and Vegemite taste good :wink:

Anyway, I was watchin Tom and Jerry a couple of hours ago and there was this episode where Tom was having a dream ( while drowning). Tom was chasing Jerry who had become a mermouse and an octopus grabbed him.

Well thats my dumb cartoon octopus sighting. :)

I think both jellyfish and Vegemite taste good :wink:

Joel, I'm with you, but not really on the vegemite, it's too salty, but goes well on celery (in small doses). I like jellies, but I don't want to eat a whole one? a whole serving? an entire order? by myself.

Do octos eat jellies? I suppose that's a question for the cephkeepers. In another thread, a sort of anemone pest was mentioned as shrimp food, which in turn became octopus food.

Melissa

I doubt they would eat jellies.I mean their skin isn't tough and looks pretty stingable. A bit of vegemite on toast and wheat crackers are nice.

Not that I know of, but hard to tell in gut content analysis cos soft bodied critters like this digest very easily.

course one way to tell would be .....if you see an octi going

No, jellies are better with sesame oil.

w00t! 8) it's the vegemite sing-along-song! :heee: http://www.vegemite.com.au/singalong.asp?area=4

But whats wrong with toast and jellies? :talker:

Nothing, if they're grape jellies.

Hardy har har....( there should be a sarcasm smiley :wink: )

How did we get onto the topic of vegemite and jellyfish. We all have short attention spans eh?

No offence Vegemite but songs like that are extremely annoying,
high
especially when sung in pitch. :evil:

Hey my signature doesn't have to be based on the song byJulie Andrews, it could be one of the longest words. :D

Does your sig say discus at the end for a reason? Is it a discus enthusiast pun? I know they're fragile and super, but I don't think they come from Cali.... :bonk:

I love the "bonk" smiley. I want to marry it.

Well personally I don't like discus, I prefer arowana. I just copied and pasted the whole thing from some site so ask them why they spelt it wrongly.

Arowanas are nice, but I feel sorry for them cause of the way they are caught.

We forgot Squidward! :shock:

Yea verily, we shall never forget Squidward! In fact, I believe the very first thing I posted to this site (about two years ago) was a question about what kind of Cephalopod has six legs and plays the clarinet badly?

PS: Great graphic!

(Tony, how come we don't have a Squidward emoticon?) :cry:

How could we have forgotten our dear beloved Squidward :roll: . Well maybe he ate his own arms due to the stress :spongebo: and Patrick are giving him :wink: .

Well which part of capture are you refering to Archie?

(Tony, how come we don't have a Squidward emoticon?) :cry:

This is the best I could do at 4AM. Hooray for insomnia!

:squidwar:

nice! I've been looking for a good one (for Tani... she's been waiting for this)... will add post haste

what we really need is a patrick (from spongebob anime) avatar that bump's into a wall repeatedly (since patrick is very... well challenged, persay), maybe it could mean (clumsy or foolish) but in a good way of course.
oh, where's the gary (spongebob's pet snail) avatar?

Oh, yeah. How could we not have a Patrick smiley? Can't be too hard to draw that guy :wink: . If one doesn't show up by Sunday, I'll have at least a crude one ready. (whether Tony cares to add it or not)

...that bump's into a wall repeatedly

That'd be a little tough to do. Hilarious, though.

How aboot jellyfish and Mr. Krabs while you're at it :wink: ?
While you're at it, make an Alfred E. Neuman (MAD Mag mascot) too please.)

How aboot jellyfish and Mr. Krabs while you're at it :wink: ?

I'll do whatever I gots ta.

in response to the overload of spongebob related requests for smilies, id like to request peter lorre and kirk douglas smilies.....

come on.... we can express ourselves quite thoroughly with the english language (maybe better than any other language) thus negating any need for asinine doodles....

just my :twocents:

:roll:

Gimme a Mario, Yoshi, and Bart Simpson smilies while you're at it.


Plus a wopper, side order of supersized fries... :popcorn:


just the ones on top. thanks. :spongebo: :squidwar:

WK, I don't think there would be anything inappropriate about another SBSP emoticon, since the show is majorly TONMOesque.

I don't think we really need Mr. Krabs or Gary or the jellyfish. However, PATRICK would complete the trio quite nicely, plus we could use him very effectively whenever someone posts something incredibly stoopit (with affection, of course :D )

My two gold doubloons --
Aaaargh!

in response to the overload of spongebob related requests for smilies, id like to request peter lorre and kirk douglas smilies.....

Go home!!

And I wanna add a Gary to your smileys to do list :heee:

Gimme a Mario, Yoshi, and Bart Simpson smilies while you're at it.

While you add that... er... can you make a kinopio too :)

http://www.tonmo.com/phpBB/download.php?id=1274:squidwar: :spongebo:

Squidward's border needs to be adjusted.

Is patrick too big?

WK does have a point. We can't be adding too many smilies to the list, especially if they don't convey any meaning. We really only need a dozen, but we have nearly 100.

Guess I don't have to finish drawing the big, white hippo.

Guess I don't have to finish drawing the big, white hippo.

im almost positive that i read somewhere that a white hippo emoticon was a sign of the the apocalypse....

hmm, don't you guy's think it would be better to just make a smiley's request thread? :roll: :roll:
that way everyone can say their suggestion's for smilies in a appropriate thread, even though this okay lol. :)

Is patrick too big?


I can't see Patrick at all! Is there something wrong with my system?

I can't see Patrick at all! Is there something wrong with my system?

Nope. What I was trying to do didn't work. Apparently, there was something wrong with my brain.

:confused:

Anyway, here he is:

that patrick smily is cool, you konw um... you should be appointed tonmo.com gfx support or gfx team manager since you are making all these great smilies for our use. you must be good in graphics eh?

Thanks, O. I can trace with the best of 'em. Well, maybe not the best of 'em. I haven't drawn anything except doodles and graphs since maybe 1989, when they last forced me to take art class. I've been trying to do more doodling recently, but I certainly ain't no Tin10 :goldfish: or Phil when it comes to making the smilies. I'm happy to do the 4 click transparency thing for whatever smilies are tossed my way (limit ~10 per day :wink:), and I'm learning the finer points of making animated gifs. Them's me skilz. :(
