Meh,... that oversized squid's got nothing on its ancestors....  -v-
Once you're talking prehistoric, THEN you're cookin' with FIYA!  ^v^

Or how about this blast from the past,... the dreaded giant sea scorpion that ruled the seas 500 million years ago!

The largest spider thingy that's known to have ever existed,... Eurypterida, we salute you!  ^0^

*salutes*

You know, it's always been my hope that giant sea scorpions or ancient nautiluses or trilobites -- or at least their direct descendants -- are still roaming in the extreme depths of the ocean, far away from our instruments.  Most of these "deep sea" creatures....

http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=19383

...are still from relatively "shallow" parts of the deep ocean.  -v-

Oh, and about the giant squid...meh
I still want to see the ship-breaker squids from "Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea" :D

But its weird that they found one of those things so close to the surface  ;018

I'm not worthy!!  I'm not worthy!!!!  ;^0^;

Oh, and you've changed your AVI to a non-hag.  ^__^
Waaai!! I'm happy.  ^-^

It times like these I'm tempted to utter a famous 3-worded phrase....  -v-

OH-HOHOHOHO!!!  Don't make me say that 3 worded phrase, cause I don't wanna hurt her little feelings.  -v-

Besides, don't you have GIN-sama to worship now that we've conscripted you into the Gin-Desu Alliance?  `v'
To oggle another woman in the presence of the black winged goddess is heresy, you know.  ^___^

Buuuuuut,... as your Rozen Maiden-viewing senpai,... I think I can let that digression slide for now.  A mere beginner's slip, happens to the best of us when we first start.  -v-

As for a retraction,..... well,... you can always bribe me a "torso check".  ^___^


I'm so devious, ~desu.  Wonder where I get it from, ~desu?  ^v^

Who here has a picture of a SHELLED squid?  `v'

Giant Squid sucks. Colossal Squid is bigger.

Edit: Oh, and does squid actually taste good? What like?
Title: Its the Kracken!!
Post by: SleepyD on December 31, 2006, 09:40:55 PM
ever have calamari?

or as wikipedia calls it, fried calamari (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fried_calamari)

Chewy, and pretty good. I normally have the "chinese cuisine" thing the article mentions. ^^

I know I've had other squid dishes, but I can't remember what they were, or what they tasted like... lol

Oy i cant stand any form of sea food exept tuna and fish sticks -_-

Post by: SleepyD on December 31, 2006, 09:52:13 PM
Jeff really likes Asian seafood. ^^ The Philippines is an island country... It's hard to avoid seafood dishes. you could blame the Spanish for the non-seafood stuff like lechon (um... suckling pig. ^^; ).  And being fond of Japanese cuisine, well, you get the point.

Jeff has a different opinion of western stuff. ^^ The good stuff is almost always fried or in the form of a tuna sandwich, and I've never liked the "gourmet" seafood dishes at restaurants and parties.

You know, it's weird that even when I live in a coastal city, which has a considerable fishing industry, I don't use to eat a lot of seafood. Nor most of the people living here, I think.

interesting. Just like how some Filipinos seem to favor beef and pork over fish.... ^^

Actually, I think I know more chicken/beef/pork Filipino dishes than I do fish ones, now that I think about it
Title: Its the Kracken!!
Post by: Darknight_88 on January 01, 2007, 12:23:40 AM
And even weirder: the farther you're from the sea, the more seafood you consume.

Don't you mean merman? Ok, I'll go to Atlantis or some similar place to find it out! :p
Title: Its the Kracken!!
Post by: zjhentohlauedy on January 18, 2007, 10:26:39 PM
I think Aquaman could also ride those things, he is king you know. ^_^
but i guess you could also learn it from a merman ^_^

Before you can go to atlantis or learn to ride one of those things
You should also learn to call the creatures of the sea. i heard its hard getting one of those things
Title: Its the Kracken!!
Post by: Exa on January 19, 2007, 01:37:29 AM
So much fuss about getting one skill... I rather get some similar skill that's easier to obtain.
