Super Calamaristic


The Colossal Squid..... is well, f*cking colossal!!! At 43 feet long, its 3 feet bigger than a school bus! It's eyes are as big as dinner plates... They are bigger in size than their more well know cousin the Giant Squid. The largest known specimen of Colossal Squid weighed in at 990 pounds... Could you imagine the amount of fried calamari you'd get outta one of these things!! Scientists said the calamari rings from a Colossal Squid would be as big as tractor tires! You'd need lotsa lemon wedges and marinara sauce (pronounced "Saw-uhs"in Jersey) for those!!
I worked my way southeast across Jersey to the coast today, so I packed a rod & some lures figuring that I could try to catch a fish during lunch... No such luck.. The wind was fierce & I called it quits & went back to work after 15 min... So, the Colossal Squid is safe for another day.... But I will try again!!!!!

Oooh! When (notice my optimism here) you catch the Colossal Squid, we expect an invite for dinner. We'll bring along a 50 gallon drum to sip wine out of and we'll also loan you guys Rachie's toddler pool to fill with saw-uhs!!

The visual I have right now of all of us gnawing on a tire sized piece of calamari is DISTURBING!!

I agree, it's disturbing! I don't like calamari...
