2. Eight tentacles, but not nine lives

3. The running news tape that scrolled on Fox yesterday was hilarious. “Paul the octopus dead at 2 1/2….”

4. Yeah, died of boredom!(watching soccer)

5. And he’ll be voting Democrat in two weeks.

6. Gone to meet Diver Dan.
   “We Shell Meat Again”

7. Calamari Pablo . . . . so good with cold beer.

8. ‘calamari’ = squid
   ‘pulpo’ = octopus
   both deep fried both good with beer wine fresh bread…butter or olive oil dredged with salt..
   a handful of olives….paharitas…ensaladilla rusa

9. Octopus sushi… Yum! Its crunchy!
   I just made Kate gag. Bwaha!

10. Yes you did. I don’t eat anything you can’t tie to a fence.

11. Nota bene to Venus and the rest of the Minuteman family. Don’t let Kate tie you to the fence.

12. “I don’t eat anything you can’t tie to a fence.”
    That explains the strange chicken coops in Saskabush…

13. When receiving the Gran Prix at Cannes for “Oldboy”, South Korean director Park Chan-Wook thanked the four octopi eaten in the movie.

14. Paul should be put on ice, Red Wing ice.

15. Get ready for the octo-truthers – some Chinese dude claims the real Paul’s been dead over three months.

16. and here’s another clue for you all
    the dinner was Paul

17. I admit I spent too much time at the FolkFest food pavilions.
    I once had a girlfriend bolt for the bathroom at the sushi bar upon eating a salmon roe sushi with a quail egg cracked on top. At my instigation, naturally. ~:D Apparently she thought it was to squishy to be food. The poor chef guy looked so shocked…
    In my defense, I eat haggis as well. That you can tie to a fence. Some feel its better left there, tied to the fence, but I figure if I can eat a sea urchin, I can manage a haggis.

18. “Look, his little air-hose, it’s been… cut!”
    “Shhhhh!”

19. “That explains the strange chicken coops in Saskabush…”
    Have you seen the size of the chickens in out there in them parts?…

    Could you take it to a birthday party and use it as a pinata? Beating it with a stick is the only thing I could really see as being of any value!!! ;^D

21. xly last week was the first octopus i’d had in 40 years…
    first time in mexico it was in a marinade…chewed it for two days…but in Spain deep fried like calamari it was tender and xly tasty enough…wouldn’t order it again of course…
    i focused on jambon iberico….from that majickal animal…the fat xly reverses it’s badness into goodness over the curing process…mayor bloomberg would be pleased…

22. Kate “I don’t eat anything you can’t tie to a fence”.
    …..or drop with a .300 Weatherby, methinks.

23. Kate, its easy to tie an octopus to a fence, 8 stringy things makes for a strong knot.
    Actually octopus sushi is rather chewy, but it doesn’t suck.

24. I hate sushi.
    Does that make me a sushist?

25. I still prefer Jackalope.

26. He’s not dead, he’s resting.

27. cal2: I thought Paul was a walrus?

28. OMG! That looks like a plate full of round worms — the Third-World intestinal parasite famous for producing the bloated stomachs you see on “World Vision”. Just put a little garnish on your next round worm infestation.
    Thanks a lot Kate — nightmares for we pasta lovers.
