My writings have often had to do with sea creatures, folks wrap fish entrails in them--or so I've heard. <br /><br />I just wanted to say that I appreciate your posting at Southern Beale's blog because it can become taxing when one has to deal with, not just shitheads, but prolific shitheads.<br /><br />I was sort of hoping that Mr. Kirkpatrick would say something REALLY inflammatory that could be used against him later. So far he is just being sort of WhackjobLite. <br /><br />I will come by to visit more, I likes me some smart peoples, even if they have too many arms.<br /><br />Tao said:<br /><br />"Congratulations! I would give you a high 5 but I am not sure how that works with an Octopus..."<br /><br />I asked Mr. Ocotopus, just yesterday, if memory serves, how many of his appendages were left. He told me they all were. So I guess that instead of a "High five", it would be a "South 40".democommiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08714733977927594559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396840695026739991.post-15515719623025831602009-10-21T20:34:25.254-04:002009-10-21T20:34:25.254-04:00Anon, double click on the image to enlarge.

First of all, cephalopods are not so primitive, and, second, I'm beginning to suspect that you are as much a real octopus as bloggingdino is a real dinosaur. I can't be sure, of course, but, c'mon, even your picture does not look real. So, just so you know, you are not fooling anyone (OK, some of us) with that "primitive cephalopod" stuff. <br /><br />(<i>Primitive</i>!

This just arrived in my e-mail box:<br /><br /><b>ENDANGERED SPECIES: Fla. loggerhead turtle nesting suffers steep decline</b><br /><br /><i>Loggerhead turtles have had one of their worst nesting seasons ever on the Florida coast, a new state survey shows.<br /><br />Loggerhead nesting decreased by more than 15 percent this year compared to last, and the 2009 nesting season was the fourth-lowest on record in 20 years of data.<br /><br />Florida beaches, which host the world's second-largest loggerhead nesting population, have 90 percent of U.S. loggerhead nests.<br /><br />All species of Atlantic sea turtles are considered at risk, including the loggerhead, green, hawksbill and leatherback turtles. <br /><br />The data are drawn from nest counts by hundreds of volunteers at designated beaches. The participants receive training and permits from the state agency.<br /><br />Other Southeastern states have not yet released their final numbers, but preliminary data obtained by the environmental group Oceana indicate it may also be one of the worst years on record for nests in Georgia, South Carolina and North Carolina</i>.<br /><br />Footnote: For years, your hopeful cephalopod was one of those souls trained and permitted to conduct nest surveys. My hope has faded to pessimism.(O)CT(O)PUShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07589336822561030860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5396840695026739991.post-9015165422414734992009-10-21T10:48:31.316-04:002009-10-21T10:48:31.316-04:00Bravo, 8pus!
