Title: Holy crap, a fuzzy lobster
Post by: V-Adore on March 08, 2006, 09:56:33 pm: "Divers have discovered a new crustacean in the South Pacific that resembles a lobster and is covered with what looks like silky, blond fur." Seriously, check this shit out. (http://www.cnn.com/2006/TECH/science/03/08/furry.lobster.ap/index.html)

It looks more huggable than I'm totally comfortable with in a crustacean, truth be told.

I am a bad person.

I guess you're not alone. The article describes the creature as being "about the size of a salad plate." Interesting choice of words there.

Cute little baby cows? An occasional bunny?

Bunnies

The tastiest cute things are fuzzy.

I don't think we're in danger of overgiraffeing a lobster that lives 1 1/2 miles deep and 900 miles south of Easter Island, though. Tasty though they might be.

Post by: Nabubrush on March 09, 2006, 03:04:07 am: Actually, lots of crustaceans that people eat presently have varying amounts of fuzz on them. Not like Fabio up there, but some, anyway.

Post by: Doc on March 09, 2006, 12:15:47 pm: You know someone somewhere is paying huge amounts to eat one of these right now.
Someone like Ray.

Post by: Tangle on March 09, 2006, 01:29:45 pm: If there isn't a band named Fuzzy Lobster, there should be.

Fuzzy Lobster.

Would also work as:

- name of a mafia dude
- name of an alcoholic drink
- euphemism

Fuzzy Lobster.

- name of an alcoholic drink

This would basically be peach schnapps, tequila, the juice of six lemons, and a shot of syrup of ipecac.

Post by: misterqueue on March 09, 2006, 09:29:35 pm: Some time ago friends of mine and I, completely by accident, began to engage into ridiculous euphamistication (Yes I realize that isn't a word AD). Anyway, it started out fairly innocently:

Sending Santa down the Chimney
Basting the Turkey
Using the Play-Doh Factory
Overflowing the Buffers

Then migrating to the vaguely disgusting:

Plunging the two tiered toilet
Stuffing the Roast Beef
Sluicing the Killing Floor (Suggested by my friend Alan, who may be even more disturbing than I)
Impaling the Fleshwindow

And finally, into an area I like to think of as my favorite, the completely nonsensical:

Having tea with the Bass player from Ratt
Inducing a sense of self-loathing the likes of which one is unable to conceive of normally
Eating the world's largest pizza
Adding extra bleach to the wash because you really like that shirt with the stain on it

And finally we also called it Tony; because that is a nice name.

You may continue to talk about your mollusks or what have you now. Thanks for reading.

Impaling the Fleshwindow

yet, which is a brilliant euphemism because a) it invents a nonsense word, and b) it is significantly less pleasant and discreet than "having sex" or "fuck*ng." I love dysphemisms!

Thank you, sir; you have made me smile. That Flash video has been a classic since young times.

I honestly had not thought of that. Wow.

but wait!! Isn't that implying that the mere presence of the girl doesn't make the male in question?

"I must be your homework, because I'm pretty hard... and I see myself being done on your desk in the future."

maybe?
