Another common name for the squid species doing the invading is the Humboldt Squid. It's called the Humboldt Squid because of its fondness for the high-grade medicinal herb grown in Humboldt County. The squid who've encroached upon Amos's paddling territory probably just had a bit too much to smoke and got lost.

Just yesterday, one was heard to ask a local SCUBA diver, "Dude, where the fuggawee?" When informed of his location, the squid was heard to mutter, "Aw, man! So, like, do you know how to get to Shelter Cove from here?"
