Groaners, the forum that will NEVER DIE

[nanoteuthis]

Hi-squiddle-dee-dee, a ceph-lo-pod for me!

:P

Sushi and Sake,

John

I remember now -- wasn't that a song from PEN-OCCHIO? (I was gonna say something about "Jiminy Inkit", but.... naaah, too much of a stretch.)

:?

Pinocchio must have been Dinoteuthis proboscideus ("terrible squid with a big nose," A.G. More, 1875).

And let us not forget the Blue-Ringed Fairy! I believe she also did a cameo in the film A.I. (ARCHITEUTHIS INTELLIGENCE).

GPO/Gepetto -- good one!

I think we have to "beak" more careful about the quality of our groaners...

Otherwise this forum will be on its last legs

Last legs? I thought this forum had the capacity to spontaneously regenerate lost limbs.

hah!!

to the tune of "zip-ah-dee-doo-dah"...

ceph-ah-dee-doo-dux, ceph-ah-dee-ay,
my oh my, what a buccal-ful day,
plenty of squid-shine, swimmin' my way
ceph-ah-dee-doo-dux, ceph-ah-dee-ay!

boo-yah, kat, i got "buccal" in mine.

 

[tonmo]

psst... plenty of "squid-brine heading my way..." squid-brine.

now that song is stuck in my mantle...

A little diet ditty... to the tune of 'Hakuna Matata' from The Lion King.

A tuna frittata - baked, boiled or braised
A tuna frittata, served with steaming rays
Fine briny dining for those who feed all day
Have some seaweed tea
With Octo bri(e)
... and a tuna frittata.

Echinodermata make a wonderful stew
That big red jelly is nice on crackers too
If you want health food, there's spirulina for you
But don't count buccalories
(Just ask the manatees)
We're all fit underwatta!

Sung to the tune of "Welcome to the Terrordome," by Public Enemy:

I got some formalin on my mind
Refuse to lose
Here's your ticket
Hear Colossal get wicked
The crew to you to push me back in
A tank so I sat and napped
And slapped Bimac(uloides)
Now I'm ready to mike it
(You know I like it) huh
See my integuement shout "Oh"
Never be a brother like a Vampyro
Lazer, Taningia'll maze ya
Ways to blaze your brain and train ya
The way I'm livin', hidden
But I'm headin' up
Dux on the decks hit me now
I don't know about later
As for now I know how to toy the anthropoid
Man I've had it up to here
Gear I wear got 'em goin' in fear
Kiwi said
Flabby just a bit ago
Not quittin' though
Despite the polymer
Laughed though I'm gettin' gaffed
Cause I'm changin' my ways
Rising up from the deeper shades
Raw and I'm physically cold
Be afraid of my hold
White nematode
Never question what I am God knows
Cause it's comin' from my hearts
What I got better get some
(Get on up) aqua of culture
Whale-bitten
Been cut by O'Shea huh
But the hooks are swivelin'
Respects been givin' how's ya livin'
Now I can connect carpal pads round their necks
Checked the record
An reckoned their latitudinal specs
Played off as an Illibrex
Made the call, hit the trawl
Dropped their jaws
Not my fault they were fallin' off
Known as fair and square
Throughout my years
So I growl at the human fowl
Beak to their bone my home ain't your home
Welcome to the Teuthidome

...archi franklin...

At first I was afraid, I was petrified
Kept thinkin' I'd never get to see a giant squid alive
But then a boat off of the coast trawling the South Pacific seas
Well they captured a colossal, now it's up to Kat and Steve

Oh now I, I will squid-dive!
Unless Mesony eats me, well I know I'll be alive
It'd be such a chance to take, just to stare one face to face
I will squid-dive, I will squid-dive,
Yeah yeah!

Since this thread has become awfully stale, I thought it was high time we acknowledge the Disney characters that are so dear to us...

Donald Dux
Inkerbell (Peter Pan)
Thomas O'Mantle (The Aristocats)
Queen of Three Hearts (Alice in Wunderpusland)
Prince Arming (Cinderella)
Sleeping Teuthy

Sleeping Teuthy! HHAAHAHHAHAHAAHA! ...eehhm. Others?

 

[nanoteuthis]

So while we're on the subject, what has swivel hooks, a giant beak, and does ten secret handshakes at the same time?

A Masonic-o-teuthis.

Get it? Masonic.... secret handshakes.... [TD taps microphone].... uh, 'scuse me, is this thing working?

 

[WhiteKiboko]

well, id have to say that tani (once again) has brought the groans back to groaners
