"They are deadly, huge and fast moving. Their tentacles can suck the life out of a human being and they've arrived in Northern California."

Opening line of Jules Verne overlooked and hyperbolic apocolyptic vision of the multi-ARMed killer that terrorizes the Northern Californian real estate market of the future "Twenty Million Homeowners Out Of Their League"

Y'all know me. Know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for you, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish. Not like going down to the pond and chasing calimari and octopi. This squid, swallow you whole. No shakin', no tenderizin', down you go. And we gotta do it quick, that'll bring back your tourists, put all your businesses on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, Chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him, and kill him, for ten. But you've gotta make up your minds. If you want to stay alive, then ante up. If you want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers, I don't want no mates, there's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that you get the head, the tentacles, the whole damn thing.

stingrza: The video is even worse: "No one knows why, but for three years now, fishing boats out of Bodega Bay have been catching the INK-SPEWING FISH in droves!"

I don't think these are giant squid, BTW - They look like Humboldt squid, and those things are kinda nasty.

Everybody panic! Huge deadly squid has invaded Northern Cal.

Subbys driving me nuts.
arrr.

Arr, Matey, that be the downside to "tucking."

Listened to the report, last I checked 8 feet was nothing for Giant Squid, and I don't recall them hunting in packs. It's almost as if no one at the news station knows that there is a creature called a giant squid.

Thank you crummy news station, there will be thousands in a panic when they imagine thousands of actual giant squid roaming the seas just outside their door.

Where's Captain Nemo when you need him?

8 feet? Meh. Call me when the 25 foot colossal squid arrive.

is not amused.

brap: "They are deadly, huge and fast moving. Their tentacles can suck the life out of a human being and they've arrived in Northern California."

It's a perfect description of the Biatch and her gang of ho's that make up our Human Resources department.

Cool...well..warm. This probably means that the warm waters are moving North this year. Stormy weather ahead, but in between the storms sport fishing off the central California coast should be great. A good el nino year often gets tuna in closer to shore and brings some fish like marlin and sailfish hundreds of miles farther North than they ordinarily roam.

I went to Japan to get me some of that tentacle sex but all she wanted to do was cuttle.

TibrisXVII: Are these Giant Squid as in Architeuthis, or giant squid as in "squid that are larger than what is typically expected"?

They screwed up the "squid are fish" thing, so yeah, I vote for that.
