A-Z Challengs 2012 - A Is For Advertising


Long time readers of this blog understand my hate and mistrust of the cephalopod - your octopus, your squids, your cuttlefish, your assorted tentacled beasties that inhabit the cold and dark of our oceans. I welcome any opportunity to inform new readers of the true danger these boneless freaks pose to our civilization.



I leave you with 2 questions...

1. If you were an Alien spaceship, where would you hide on a planet that is 70% water?

2. What species could the aliens make a destructive alliance with - creatures who already are masters of the deep oceans?


The super villain plan they could cook up together would rival anything that Lex Luthor or The Joker ever contemplated.


I will give you a hint - it's a creature who can escape traps, set traps, solve puzzles, predict the future, squeeze through holes much smaller than they are, climb ropes, squirt ink, manipulate tools, operate heavy machinery and peek up woman's skirts. They are not ones to be underestimated.

They have an agenda that involves removing us from our rightful place at top of the planetary food pyramid. They are our most determined and ruthless enemies.


But we too have our way of fighting back. The 'Canadian Cave of Cool' forever stands at the front lines in this never ending battle against the Cephalopod Menance. Any innovations or consumer products that assist us in our efforts is always appreciated.

I did not know the octopus had a fascination with women! Good to know, I would like to order that spray.

It will also leave you smelling lemony fresh which is always a bonus.

There is a very good reason that H.P. Lovecraft (the world's greatest horror author) depicted his most evil creation, Cthulhu, as having an octopus for a head.

It's because they are scary as hell.
And once they learn to walk on land our days as the apex species on this planet are numbered.

Looking forward to seeing what you do all month!

PS. I have your figures. I just haven't been to the post office yet.

Thaks Tim, I have a secial place for them when they get there.

If was an early bad choice by the Coppertone company that cost them a suntan factory after a mysterious 1899 explosion.
