That is fascinating; I didn't know squid could have badass hooks. See, I know you have it in you. You just need to share it with the rest of us. You will come back a better and stronger poster from this misstep, like when Jordan tried to play baseball(lmao baldy).

When you fish for them we use full rain suits and goggles because they are capable of squirting ink at your eyes. I've heard they are pretty fun to catch but can be down right dangerous to handle bringing on board.


Also milk breaks down ammonia in shark meat I wonder it works on giant squid.

Okay you a goon but what's a goon to a goblin?
Yeah. I got stuck in a snow bank on Tuesday and spent like 2 hours pushing my car to where it could get some traction(maybe 4 or 5 feet? 10?). Yesterday I was more sore than I have ever been in my life. I am still very sore today. I don't know if a massage would help any though, I may still be too tender.

So is this still a lady thread? I'm waiting for my Jeopardy qualifying test and got some time to kill.

I picked up a super expensive tube of Ko Gen Doh at Sephora thinking it would make me look like Britta from Community but instead I looked like I threw my face into a stack of flour yaya.

I have a legally tagged pre-convention walrus tusk and a large piece of mammoth ivory. Elephant ivory is wrong, there's too much risk it's recent and funding poaching. Not much poaching of mammoth though.

e: and hippo ivory and warthog "ivory"

Squids taste yummy but if you let them overcook they are very chewy.

I like to let my ladybits run the gamut, I started trimming them because I don't like dealing with them. Mr.Kitty could care less and is always surprised.

I also do not like birds.

I am standing the most BORING watch today as a direct result of my "I think I'm in trouble" meeting yesterday.

E:
Also, I want a taxidermy. Not sure of what, but if they make capybara, probably that.

The reason there are so many alligator heads on eBay is that they're farmed gators. They used to just throw the heads away (they're not usable for purses and stuff). It's the same reason you can find fox faces on eBay. Fur scrap, unusable.
