Merry Cephalopodmas!

I was actually discussing with a chap on the bus this morning if it was appropriate or not to eat calamari on Cephalopodmas.

I'm so sorry. I thought this was posted on [info]molluscious, where such sentiments are commonplace.

This'll be the best Cephalopodmas ever!

Love the banner, mind if I snurch it (with credit)?

Grimpoteuthis now holds my top slot for cutest thing ever. Although have you noticed how much they resemble the brain slugs from Futurama?

Once again, you demonstrate why my quitting writing was such a good idea. How the hell could I top that?

Suction Cups Nipping at Your Nose...
Spectacular. It's a jolly holiday carol and a trip to the aquarium for all. My lips haven't fumbled over a line of verse like this since I was in grade school, but I was glad to have the opportunity to attempt it.

Damn. Where's Burl Ives when we need him now?
Or maybe Muppets. Maybe.

Huzzah! One of my friends throws an annual Cthulhumas party, at which we sing Cthulhumas carols. It has already taken place this year, but we will definitely be singing this song next year.

Deep rest ye merry cephalopods, may nothing you dismay,
Remember Great Cthulhu will eat you all someday,
For nothing more than simply being, your doom is sealed this way,
With carresses of tentacles and slime, tentacles and slime!
With carresses of tentacles and slime!

I've been trying to figure out how to adapt "Feliz Navidad", but haven't gotten it. Everyone's welcome to try. I had better luck with "The Xmas Song", but it's still not nearly as crisp as your work here.

And a Joyous Cephalopodmas to you as well! I forget - is it a gift giving holiday? Because if it is, someone needs to get you one of these. :D
