I should be an octopus!

[Ashenstar]

I am a master of hiding, being tiny and all... but this octopus kinda just showed me up! Seriously. This video is making me giggle so I needed to share.

I love the end where the octopus is all "RAWR I EAT YOU!" or whatever. Ok... so maybe he's not trying to eat the camera and all... but he still looks pretty threatening.

It's oddly adorable when it runs.

 

[Ashenstar]

Isn't it though! Kind of spider like. awwwww

 

[Wish]

Strange, to me it looks oddly delicious when it runs

And he's already covered in coconut! How can I resist?

 

[warryer]

Haha thats rediculous. I wonder if this means in a million years theres going to be underwater coconut cities.

 

[adso1980]

I wish it could speak.

 

[Ashenstar]

Oh the comments make me giggles too.

Octopus is rather tasty...


Underwater coconut cities? Oh how I need to live longer for this! Only this would make it worth living forever!

Haha thats rediculous. I wonder if this means in a million years theres going to be underwater coconut cities.

but the thing is that the octopi are mostly getting this coconuts from traveling humans who have dropped halved coconut shells....

but you realize what this means? We could help build octopi by bombing the ocean with coconut shells! and other playthings!

Are you suggesting what I think you are...

Octopolis!?!

Octopolis!?!

YES we will be the creator-gods of octopolis! Sea Lab, consider this your warning.

Then again that annoying prime directive comes into play.

Then we must waste no time! Quick! Everyone to their local supermarkets - buy all the coconuts in sight and eat with haste!

We should release all of the shells in a centralized location to increase the chances of Octopolis being completed within this century.

so would... bombing octopi with coconut shells be considered violating the prime directive?

what about donning scuba gear and a coconut crown and giving commandments to the Octopolians?

well....... hmm.. such a grey area. I would say no since it's technology they already have..... the coconuts themselves.... but.... helping them utilize the coconuts more than they already are would be.

so go ahead and bomb away!

Edit: No.. no no RT.... no coconut commandments!

Sure, but your first decree will be to call the children of Octopolis Octopolites.

I see your cephalopod and raise you one Mr Potato Head:

An Octupus and its coconut-carrying antics...

I love how that's worded, makes it seem like this Octupus is just a prank-playin' son of a bitch who can't help itself, like this was all just for a laugh.

lol
It really does.
Those damn wily octopi and their shenanigans!


I'm sorry but that octopus cuddling Mr. Potato Head looks a lot more like "RAWR I EAT YOU!"
I have decided that I do not wish to be cuddled by an octopus if that's how he's going to be about it!

 

[Inappropriate Behavior]

Need I elaborate.....

 

[Wish]

It all makes sense now..

 

[Cavallier]

I imagine the octopus says to himself "toddle toddle toddle"...

 

[Cognisant]

I imagine an octopus watching a boat go by and wondering...

When they emerge from the waves using their reverse engineered coconut land-boat technology, then we'll know the end is near.

 

[Polaris]

My favourite invertebrates.......they are incredibly interesting and amusing to look at. Let's just hope that this one stays away from the coconut-project....

Well, they were trying to take his Mr Potato Head friend away--you'd look pissed off, too!

I wonder if it's a similar mentality that leads to domestic violence....
