A squid that is 2 stories tall? Gee I am going to have to upsize my squid gear and I have to say that's a lot of calamari.

What I found interesting is that she said the Jellyfish only light up when being attacked the theory being that it will attract a larger predator to scare away the predator trying to eat the jellyfish.

Makes sense when you think about the luminous jellyfish we have here in NJ that light up when touched.

[DarkSkies]

^ I was holding some of those jellyfish in my hand last night....it was pretty cool to see the luminescent part up close....it's in the center....
We also found one man-o-war jellyfish on the way back in to shore...the cap on it was about 12" in diameter....Monty might have taken a pic of it...not sure....





OK....it's settled then....
Calamari feast at Finchaser's house next Sunday!!!!!.....

He has a degree from the Culinary Institute....
He's a fantastic cook...:thumbsup:
He'll be making Zuppa de Pesce....:dribble:
Fried calamari......
Home-made pasta......
Eggplant parmesan with fresh eggplant.....:drool:
Baked Ziti with hot sausage.....
And Penne with Vodka.........

Show up at his house, on Sunday....at 8AM sharp...don't be late....:bigeyes: :HappyWave:

He's doing this, to show all the fishing community, that he is the nice guy, that he claims to be....:kiss:
and not the
Old,
Grouchy,
Basstid...that I keep referring to him as......:moon: :laugh:


In addition to being a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America.....:thumbsup:
He's also quite the pastry chef....and can make any dessert ya's want....just ask ahead of time.....
He will also be going to his seafood connection.....and buying 2 dozen lobsters and a flat of large size shrimp which he will grill up on the BBQ...
Along with the fried and grilled calamari.......

Since this is a festive occasion.....:plastered:
He has asked that all coming bring some New Years Noisemakers, etc....to make some noise to let the neighbors know he throws the best parties...
And to show up promptly at 8am Sunday.....

He assures me he will be up at 4am starting to prepare this delicious feast for all of us.....to show us....and shut me up for once and all....that he's not the grouchy basstid I portray him to be.......:clapping: ;)


His cup is running over with benevolence all of a sudden...get in on this while you can....
All are welcome.....
I'll be posting the address details......

[buckethead]

Rich no offense but have you ever heard the phrase too good to be true?
Spidey senses say this might be one of those occasions.:)

I agree BH. Especially the part about all are welcome. tgtbt
If he put a disclaimer in there like "except those who voted for obama" it would be much more believable. Just saying, dark.

[seamonkey]

This is getting confusing. Is there a real bbq or are you guys just messing with us?

[finchaser]

DS busting balls but DS should set up a meet so we can all meet. Ball in your court DARKSKIES

[bababooey]

All that stuff about you being a graduate of CIA and a fantastic chef are not true either? I was drooling looking at the food list.

Thanks for sharing that finchaser.That was a huge squid. You can see it fully in HD at 6:40. That scientist lady was funny and fascinating. She seemed down to earth. Why don't they put folks like this as head of NOAA instead of the PETA folks like Lubchenko?

[albiealert]

Fascinating video thanks for sharing.

No can do pal...I don't have much time to do all I have to do lately, make $$, fight for fishermens' access, deal with misinformation about "healthy" striped bass populations on various forums, and then make it out there for the night tides.....
You're the one who wants people to see you as cute and cuddly, instead of the grouchy, ornery, stubborn, cantankerous, ranting fart that you are......:laugh:

As every day passes, I become more and more like the ol Grouchy one.....:don't know why: (all your fault, BTW.....:kiss: )











So, to simplify things.....
I've created the S&A Social Director title........and you're it. :clapping: :HappyWave:
You're the new Mr Congeniality around here.....they say be careful what ya ask for......:moon:

Please be advised, that from now on.... until he goes to the Surf fishing waters in the Sky.....:(
Finchaser......OGB.....is the new official S&A social director.......
:clapping: :clapping:

All social events will be coordinated through Finchaser......he can hire any interns he wants....for this prestigious unpaid position......:)

Love the badge the loaded gun makes it epic. A few questions DS. I can't imagine finchaser being cute and cuddly. I picture him more like the old salt fisherman statue who used to be at the back of the manasquan inlet. Also is there a difference between an old fart and a ranting fart? That difference sounds important. Inquiring minds want to know.:laugh:

[storminsteve]

You're the one who wants people to see you as cute and cuddly,

Be careful he's going to send Carmine and Tony Soprano to your house. You will disappear in a black limo never to be seen again.;)

[storminsteve]

:clapping:Haha lol! There's a new sheriff in town, Any questions? Awesome badge you should get it made into a t-shirt for him.

[DarkSkies]

DS:2flip::argue::moon::kicknuts:

Aah...ya know ya love me....:kiss:
Your life would be too simple if ya didn't have me to bust on.....:HappyWave:

He's as old and crusty as can be...:laugh:..does have a generous heart, though....:thumbsup:
Old fart, ranting fart.....he can be both, depending on his level of grouchiness that day.....:d
Hint- do not pick a topic or political person he ain't happy with....his Rants are legendary.....just ask the other old farts in Castaways B&T.....


Be careful he's going to send Carmine and Tony Soprano to your house. You will disappear in a black limo never to be seen again.;)
I think it's fair to say we both know some shadowy characters.....:HappyWave:


:clapping:Awesome badge you should get it made into a t-shirt for him.

We'll have to ask Killie to make the t-shirts...:thumbsup:...it may take him a while though.....some of the people I know are still waiting for Effumall stickers.....
