Great image, Fritz. Now if you can round up one of the Colossal Squid marching through the Arc de Triomphe in Paris, we'll be set.

Breaking news: In hopes of generating better revenue as a small-market team (and thus paying for Tejada's pending "colossal" contract - get it?), the Oakland A's have sold the rights to their ballpark, which will henceforth be known as "Colossal Squid Stadium Across from San Francisco."

This just in: The Colossal Squid did not mean to go to France at all. He was headed to Belgium for some trappest ale but got sidetracked in Amsterdam. Our friend the squid now knows that herbal cigarettes are nothing like herbal tea.

There should be a hattrick team called Colossal Squid, it would be the best of both worlds...the emblem should be of Colossal Squid toppling a Saddam Hussein statue, then all would be well in the world.

WSUCougar · 04-09-2003, 11:13 PM

Qwik: How do you know there's not a Hattrick team called "Colossal Squid" or the Colossal Squids?

As for names, "Colossal Squid" just has that classic ring to it. Why mess with success?

But then there's that little bitty part of me that wants to name him Squid Pro Quo...

Representatives from the Colossal Squid have announced that C.S. is cutting a new rap album, tentatively titled Squid Diesel. CSNN has an exclusive cut from the CD:

My name is squid.
I’m just a kid.
Check out my lid –
Take a peak, I’m a freak, ya I have a massive beak.

I eat kelp.
Can’t help myself.
I’m a pimp for da shrimp.
I’m a seafood whore, swoopin’ down the ocean floor.

(wokkawokkawokkawokkawokka)

I hate whales.
Their spouts n’ tails.
Ain’t no fluke, they really make me wanna puke.
Dissin’ sea-life without fail.

Freakin’ sperms - they are my germs.
And then there’s orcas.
They’re like New Yorkers, motherf*ckin’ porkers
No humpbacks, just jump back.

(wokkawokkawokkawokkawokka)

I am for-mid-able.
Creature con-sid-er-able.
Colossal in-di-vidual.
Don’t make me irr-it-able.

Move over, Vanilla Ice...

Fidatelo · 04-10-2003, 09:42 AM

I think the key here is that we all keep this in mind for the next time a professional sports franchise has a "name the team" contest. Just like that baseball team that became the "Isotopes" last year, I think it would be awesome if one day the AA affilate of some baseball team was the "Cleveland Colossal Squids" or something.

Fidatelo · 04-10-2003, 09:46 AM

Dola...

WSUCougar, that rap is an instant classic!

Too bad it's too big for quote of the moment...

EDIT: The smiley was in the wrong place.

well done wsucougar. You are indeed the songwriter to the squid.

WSUCougar · 04-11-2003, 06:28 AM

And so, as the fervor over the Colossal Squid began to fade, and the cheering echoed into silence, FOFC returned to its daily routine.

Someday...when you least it expect it...Colossal Squid will be back. Be afraid.

Be very afraid.

DETROIT, Michigan (CSNN) -- Tragedy struck the Detroit Red Wings in game 1 of their playoff series against the Anaheim Mighty Ducks last night, when captain Steve Yezerman was severely injured in freak accident involving a Colossal Squid.

Yzerman was injured midway through the first period when fans in a section near the ice heaved a Colossal Squid over the glass. The Colossal Squid, which weighs over 300lbs, landed directly in front of Yzerman as he sped through the neutral zone. The ensuing collision was described by teammate Brett Hull as "the fiercest check in NHL history; Scott Stevens could take lessons from that Squid". Wings' Coach Dave Lewis referred to the Squid as a "formidable presence, Stevie had no chance on the play".

Nine ticket holders in section 37b are currently being held for questioning in the incident. It took all of them to heave the giant beast onto the ice. A fan sitting nearby described the incident as "surreal".

"My wife and I, we're just sitting there watching the game, and the next thing I know half the section is on their feet, struggling to heave this giant cephalopod over the boards. They really struggled with it, it probably took them about 45 seconds or more to get it over. Some of them kept getting tangled in it's tentacles, and there were a lot of people yelling 'my hands are slipping! This thing is really slippery!'. So anyways, they heave this thing over, and it slides right down the glass onto the ice and just levels Stevie Y!"

Red Wings fans have frequently tossed Octopi onto the ice in the playoffs, but this is the first time a Squid, Colossal or otherwise, has been used.

Officials for the team were most perplexed as to how the giant creature was able to get into the building without being seen, given that it is over 16 feet in length and unearthly in appearance. This mystery was resolved by another fan in attendance, however.

"He just used the 'Turtle Disguise'" said lifelong Wings fan Joe Durby. "He wore a trench coat and a big hat, it was pretty much the same thing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used to do to be able to walk around the city undetected, to you know, go see movies and stuff."

Durby said he first noticed the Colossal Squid when walking through the arena before the game. "It's hat fell off, and I looked over and I was like 'Holy Christ! That dude is a frickin' Colossal Squid!'. I tried to follow him, but he put his hat back on and I lost him in the crowd."

Interestingly, the current whereabouts of the Colossal Squid are unknown. Officials said that while everyone was attending to Yzerman the Squid "just sort of slipped away. We don't even have any camera footage of it leaving, everyone had their eyes on Steve."

Locals are asked to keep their eyes peeled for anything suspicious and "about 16 feet long".

Draft Dodger · 04-11-2003, 09:20 AM

Giant Squid, Tall Tales and Truth

By HENRY FOUNTAIN

ith a length up to 75 feet, the giant squid, Architeuthis, is the largest invertebrate on earth. But it is also the most elusive. It has never been seen alive in its natural habitat.

As such, Architeuthis (pronounced ark-uh-TOOTH-us) has something of a mythical reputation. There has been speculation that the creatures live for decades, even a century, at depths of several thousand feet.

"No one really knows," said Dr. Neil H. Landman of the American Museum of Natural History. "In the ocean there are still mysteries, and this is one of them."

But research by Dr. Landman and colleagues from the State University of New York at Stony Brook and other institutions may help dispel some of the myths. Architeuthis, they say, may not be so long in the tooth, and reports of its depth may be greatly exaggerated.

The researchers studied one of the squid's smallest features, a bonelike particle called a statolith that is not much larger than a grain of sand. Statoliths, which are found in the squid's head and help it maintain equilibrium, grow through the buildup of calcium carbonate in discrete rings.

Dr. Landman analyzed isotopes of oxygen in statoliths from three southern giant squid, Architeuthis sanctipauli, from the Pacific Ocean. Like all specimens, these were caught in fishing nets or washed ashore. The proportion of isotopes gives an indication of the water temperature the squid lived in, and temperature can be related to depth.

In the analysis, reported in the journal Marine Biology, Dr. Landman found that the squid lived at depths of 600 to 1,000 feet. While he noted that those figures are not definitive, they are a far cry from 2,000 to 3,000 feet, as some scientists have thought.

The statoliths were also analyzed for carbon-14, a legacy of atmospheric weapons tests. Carbon-14 in the Pacific increased from the 1950's to about 1980, then began a well-documented decline. By analyzing carbon-14 ratios, the researchers were able to calculate an age for the squid: 14 years or less.

Normal squid reach full size in a matter of months ("They're the broiler chickens of the sea," Dr. Landman said), so some scientists had thought that giant squid might grow as fast.

Dr. Landman said he thought the giants add heft relative rapidly, though not at the pace of their cousins. After all, he said, "it's hard to imagine something growing that big so quickly."

corbes · 05-04-2004, 02:21 PM

dola-

I want to change my screen name to Architeuthis. Or maybe Ark-uh-TOOTH-us.

Coffee Warlord · 05-04-2004, 02:28 PM

That squid is only giant. Not colossal.

Giant Squid = Pussy Squid
Colossal Squid = The Shit

corbes · 05-04-2004, 02:29 PM

Yes but the NY Times plays everything down. We all know what they're REALLY talking about.

Edit -- The colossal squid, albeit only a juvenile, was only 16 feet. These are 75.

Coffee Warlord · 05-04-2004, 02:33 PM

They killed the poor Colossal Squid before he could ever reach his prime. It was truly a tragic day for all of us.

That Colossal Squid will never grow up to reign supreme over the lesser giant squids.

corbes · 05-04-2004, 02:37 PM

Yes, that is from the New York Times. I love the deep-sea diver.

Fidatelo Pro Starter Join Date: Nov 2002 Location: Winnipeg, MB	DETROIT, Michigan (CSNN) -- Tragedy struck the Detroit Red Wings in game 1 of their playoff series against the Anaheim Mighty Ducks last night, when captain Steve Yezerman was severely injured in freak accident involving a Colossal Squid. Yzerman was injured midway through the first period when fans in a section near the ice heaved a Colossal Squid over the glass. The Colossal Squid, which weighs over 300lbs, landed directly in front of Yzerman as he sped through the neutral zone. The ensuing collision was described by teammate Brett Hull as "the fiercest check in NHL history; Scott Stevens could take lessons from that Squid". Wings' Coach Dave Lewis referred to the Squid as a "formidable presence, Stevie had no chance on the play". Nine ticket holders in section 37b are currently being held for questioning in the incident. It took all of them to heave the giant beast onto the ice. A fan sitting nearby described the incident as "surreal". "My wife and I, we're just sitting there watching the game, and the next thing I know half the section is on their feet, struggling to heave this giant cephalopod over the boards. They really struggled with it, it probably took them about 45 seconds or more to get it over. Some of them kept getting tangled in it's tentacles, and there were a lot of people yelling 'my hands are slipping! This thing is really slippery!'. So anyways, they heave this thing over, and it slides right down the glass onto the ice and just levels Stevie Y!" Red Wings fans have frequently tossed Octopi onto the ice in the playoffs, but this is the first time a Squid, Colossal or otherwise, has been used. Officials for the team were most perplexed as to how the giant creature was able to get into the building without being seen, given that it is over 16 feet in length and unearthly in appearance. This mystery was resolved by another fan in attendance, however. "He just used the 'Turtle Disguise'" said lifelong Wings fan Joe Durby. "He wore a trench coat and a big hat, it was pretty much the same thing the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles used to do to be able to walk around the city undetected, to you know, go see movies and stuff." Durby said he first noticed the Colossal Squid when walking through the arena before the game. "It's hat fell off, and I looked over and I was like 'Holy Christ! That dude is a frickin' Colossal Squid!'. I tried to follow him, but he put his hat back on and I lost him in the crowd." Interestingly, the current whereabouts of the Colossal Squid are unknown. Officials said that while everyone was attending to Yzerman the Squid "just sort of slipped away. We don't even have any camera footage of it leaving, everyone had their eyes on Steve."

WSUCougar Rider Of Rohan Join Date: Jul 2001 Location: Port Angeles, WA or Helm's Deep	*CSNN News Bulletin* Don't be intimidated by the "formidable" aura of the Colossal Squid. This thread is open to any/all deep sea creature or other sightings that fall into the following descriptive categories: colossal, massive, monstrous, mammoth, big, really big, really reallybig, huge, fckin' HUGE, large, extra large, XXL (etc.), giant, gigantic, immense, enormous, whopping (my personal favorite), great (the 2nd meaning), gargantuan, oversized, substantial, sizable, considerable, formidable, Fritz, cocky, or funny. If you'd like for another descriptive term to be considered, please submit it here (or to Skydog or John Galt ) for consideration. Thank you. __________________ It's not the years...it's the mileage.
