These puns are getting way too leggy,
but squid to know our own ol' Amos is not about to be put on display.

At least not in a lab or museum.

That squid was once a famous actor. He appeared in a number of films and played opposite Kirk Douglas in "20,000 Leagues Under The Sea", where he was said to have outdone James Mason in the charisma department.

"Cephalopods are one of the sad stories of evolution: great manipulative ability, fine eyesight, good brains - but with an unfortunate short lifespan, often related to their reproductive habits."

This all sounds uncomfortably familiar ...

"washed up on a beach"

"...was expected to be taken to the museum, where DNA and other scientific tests would be carried out before it is preserved "

That, my friends is a squaad....it is as past tense as they get.

Poor critter. Cephalopods are one of the sad stories of evolution: great manipulative ability, fine eyesight, good brains - but with an unfortunate short lifespan, often related to their reproductive habits. They'll never live long enough to take over the world.

pl.n.

1.All that is left after other parts have been taken away, used up, or destroyed.
2.A corpse.
3.The unpublished writings of a deceased author.
4.Ancient ruins or fossils.


Might qualify for #4, though... And maybe even #1!

I believe semantically they cannot be called remains if still employed by the original owner.

Has the SPCS heard about this? Doesn't Amos ( the squid, not the Mudcat member*) deserve a decent burial and his remains treated with respect?



* NOT to imply that the Member Amos does NOT deserve having his remains trested with respect, but I believe ( correct me if I am wrong) that he is still using them ( the remains, that is).

IT is important to note that the "poor ole Amos" discussed by the Guest who began this thread is not and never has been a member of the Mudcat. His keyboard kept shorting out.

Did you see this? That's poor old Amos. Used to hang around off the North Island, tryin' to make it with the ladies, cadgin' a few drinks from his friends. Many's the night we'd sit around a swap lies; he'd tell about the boats he'd pulled under and the whales he'd fought and I'd keep the glasses filled. Then somebody'd start a song and we'd sing "Squid Jiggin' Ground" and all the old favorites.

Poor ol' Amos. Gonna be CO-llected, DIS-ected, and put on DIS-play.
