I wonder what hexapus tastes like...

I like Henry the Hexapus...he's so cute.

Can I have one LG? Please? Can I have one?

Yes, you do that.

I, for one, welcome our new hexapus overlords.

I'd post it in the CNN article thread if there was one.

Clearly you don't understand the political and social repercussions of six-legged cephalopods. Perhaps you'd like another election thread instead. :p

Who's going to feed it and clean up after it?

Chicken.

Who's going to feed it and clean up after it?

My sisters, of course :P

Never mind that they live 140 miles away...

I wonder what hexapus tastes like...chicken shit

I bet he gets teased by all the other octopuses. Cephalopods can be so cruel.

chicken shit

I'm impressed that you've tried hexapus. I'm doubly impressed that you've tried chicken shit to compare it to. http://www.abestweb.com/smilies/icon_nworthy.gif

So... what kind of hexes does a hexapus cast?

I wonder what hexapus tastes like...

Cool. That actually works into something I've been working up off and on for my con-worlding RPing. :)

And I'll assume hexapuses taste much like octapuses. (Yummy!)

BTW , a grammar note for any wanna be pedants: Yes, octopses is the correct English plural. I'll happily beat you down with my grammar stick if you try and give the false corrective "octapi".

I actually think cephalopds are awesome. And if I had the cash and space, I'd seriouisly start keeping them as pets. (And like octopuses my favorite seafoods are crustaceans, bivaulves, and cephalopds.)

Clearly you don't understand the political and social repercussions of six-legged cephalopods. Perhaps you'd like another election thread instead. :p

Indeed. Mutant octopuses mean one step closer to octopuses a ble to live on land. When that happens, they'll be in position to challenge terrestrial H. sapiens...

To go with Henry the Hexapus, we've got a Sourpus here too!

Throw him in the tank! Throw him in the tank! :mad:

Henry'll strangulate him! That'll teach dem Hex-haters to show respect to H!


Disclaimer: I am not actually proposing we let Henry strangulate someone, no matter how annoying.

I bet he gets teased by all the other octopuses. Cephalopods can be so cruel.

Indeed, in all seriousness they are. They usually can't be kept in the same tank. And, it's apparently not uncommon for people who keep them as pets to find that over night, one octapus has managed to escape their tank in order to climb into their neighbors tank for a "snack"...

LOL!

Seeing as what an octopus will do to another octopus in it's tank, I expect a hexapus won't strangulate a sourpus... ::hehehe::

:eek: OMG! Six-legged sorcery! :eek:

That would explain the time-warped double post...

Well, if a Sourpus was indeed another kind of Octopus, yes I know what can happen between rival 'puses.

It's pretty nasty.

BTW , a grammar note for any wanna be pedants: Yes, octopses is the correct English plural.
"octopses"? Really?
(United Beleriand, you're dead 180 deg. wrong there.)
Well, that's pretty much a given :D

I think we have the next Nickelodeon kids show here. :) :( :confused:

LOL Hoisted by mine own petypo. Octop*u*ses.

Octopodes is actually the correct plural. Thats just because Octopus is a greek-derived noun as opposed to latin derived (which would cause the plural to be Octopi)

Of course, in English we mangle everything, so "Octopuses" is often used.

Octopi is more fun to say than octopodes :(

DnD humor. A Tako is basically a sentient octopus.

actually, Tako (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tako) is Japanese for Octopus.

Either way.

Mine's more obsure though :p

Mmm.... Tako Tacos!

Will it make you happier if we call it a Christian hexapus?

Grammarians usually consider "octopdes" to be pedantic.

I find it amazing that the author of the story wrote Octopodes at the begining but then changed it too the incorrect Octopuses.

On a side bar untill I found out that it was just a birth defect it was pretty interesting

I'd post it in the CNN article thread if there was one.

When the hexapus masters rise up and make their bid to take over the world and those without six legs are forced to wear symbols of their non-hexapusality and are sent to lesser-limbed ghettoes, he'll be sorry.

I dunno... a couple of friends of mine had Spaghetti in Sea Urchin sauce while visiting Japan a while back...

I was gonna post this but forgot. Pretty cool.

Siamese twins are a birth defect and I find them damn interesting. Especially their sex lives. *nod*

LG, nobody needs to be reminded of the time you used the homunculation device to symmetrically duplicate yourself, conjoined at the liver, and then caused a universe to collapse by masturbating pan-dimensionally.

It wasn't funny then, its not funny now.

Somedays I want to get into your head and see what makes you tick.

Other days, you frighten me.

Guess what kind of day today is.

I wonder what hexapus tastes like...

Just like octopus, but with 25% fewer calories.

I thought you were talking about this:
http://www.thepittsburghchannel.com/news/15116060/detail.html

cause if you were, I was going to remind you that technically this was a pentapus, not a hexapus.

I would sig this if I hadn't sigged something you posted like an hour ago. I feel like an NSG groupie.

Okay, I couldn't help it. I am only 30% human.

I think it is time we made nature metric, no more of these damned imperial cephalopods - we need to genetically engineer decapods.
