They're just stingy about who they let into their party.

Looks like they got boxed in.

What Madagascar closed its bay? No surprise there.

yes, but it's pointless unless the peanut-butter fish washed on the shore, too

/thanks folks, i'll be here all night
//then i'm gonna go have a pb&j and give your mom a dirty sanchez

Jellyfish heaven is a lot like LA.

Did they have these invasions 20 or so years ago? I don't remember hearing about such invasions in Hanauma Bay or anywhere else on Oahu for that matter until fairly recently.

Are the stories I hear true about urinating on your jellyfish stings to neutralize the toxins?

They look so beautiful and light as they poot around in the ocean, but have you ever actually picked a jellyfish up? They're heavy as hell! When I take walks in the early morning up here on the beach in SF, the gulls are nomming up their breakfast of fresh jellies. I like to kick them around, it's almost like a silicone breast implant.

Let's find out. You pick up a Man'o'war and I'll piss on ye.

I don't think you wanna pick these up. Some box jellyfish can kill you.

And the pissing thing is true. My wife was stung, and a pirate pissed on her leg. It helped, she said. True story - she was on one of those booze cruises in Puerto Vallarta, and it had pirates.

I was stung by a man-o-war once when I was a kid. The lifeguard at the beach didn't piss on me, though. I got the baking soda treatment, which I remember not working all that well. The stinging eventually went away. Eventually.

Andy Steurmer and Roger Manning saught for questioning.

caught me some jellyfish...yum

Are they going to cancel the Tongue Kissing Festival?

Pants full of macaroni!!: Jellyfish heaven is a lot like LA.

Came here to say this. It's important that people realize that jellyfish heaven is not like Japan.

came for dude who would post link to interesting jellyfish article

/will come back

I guess there is a Bright Future here.

\obscure?

must not be the same box jellies we have in Australia - you get hit by one of those and you may die before you reach the shore.

am I the only one who first thought of

??

Jellyfish numbers are rising around the world due to increased pollution.

Pollution huh? Demon humans again. Shoulda known.

I believe the article sez it happens every month. Probably has for thousands of years. It must have been a slow news day for the article to be published . . .

Ultra obscure?

/guess the movie, win the internet

Bungalo: Ultra obscure?

Um, no.

Geographically speaking you're on the right track, though.

It was this film, which features an actual jellyfish threat in Tokyo.
Now the both of us can feel all obscure and cinephilic.

You were right on the spot with the Japanese setting, but I'm keeping the internet. Sorry.

Jujubunnie: Picture of insanely large jellyfish creature

No, those warnings are posted every month here. It's kid of important to warn folks to stay out of the water during these things.

Came for jellyfishing reference, leaving satisfied.

It's an annual event in Springfield.

doglover: Let's find out. You pick up a Man'o'war and I'll piss on ye.

A man o war isn't a jelly fish.

\Pee as you will sir.
\\For science!

gibbon1: A man o war isn't a jelly fish.

True, but technically the man-o-war is not a single creature (three symbiotes actually).
