Octopi?

Oh, please, please tell me there’s an Octopus’s Garden in Octlantis!

“Facekini” shows all the important parts; “bikini” does the opposite.

Facekinis are outlawed in China due to facial identity requirements.

Octopus legends.

So The Beatles were right about an octopus’s garden in the shade.

Here’s a new idea for an Octopi sitcom: “Eight is Enough” :D

The Octopus Olympics include some amazing competitive juggling.

Camped out at Loch Ness years ago. Never saw anything cryptic but talking to the searchers was fun. They were dedicated.

Octlantis? Sounds like a Splatoon stage!

Octopolis is one and Octlantic is the other, located in coastal southeast Australia, each is an approximately 9 foot ellipse, each with about a dozen octopi, hardly what you’d call a city, maybe a small village or den occupied by only 10-14 octopi.

“Oh what joy for every girl and boy, knowing they’re happy and they’re safe”

Does anyone know the name of the page on Facebook, from the guys who used to be here, telling jokes?

Ha, ha – I like this version of the Loch Ness Monster in that panel!!

The Facekinis are not a new fad. They were part of bathing apparel for women during the 1940s.

Some commenters claim we don’t have jokes here if they’re not obscene jokes. Well, here’s a non-obscene joke I think is really funny. It does require patience.

Once I saw this guy on a bridge about to jump. I said, “Don’t do it!” He said, “Nobody loves me.” I said, “God loves you. Do you believe in God?”

He said, “Yes.” I said, “Are you a Christian or a Jew?” He said, “A Christian.” I said, “Me, too! Protestant or Catholic?” He said, “Protestant.” I said, “Me, too! What franchise?” He said, “Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Baptist or Southern Baptist?” He said, “Northern Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist or Northern Liberal Baptist?”

He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist.” I said, “Me, too! Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region, or Northern Conservative Baptist Eastern Region?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region.” I said, “Me, too!”

Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1879, or Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912?” He said, “Northern Conservative Baptist Great Lakes Region Council of 1912.” I said, “Die, heretic!” And I pushed him over. – emo phillips

To the people who own Red Lobster restaurants, Octlantis is a gold mine.

Octopuses are incredibly intelligent.

Wich makes me, a carnivore, question the ethics of their fishing.

Not sure Face-kinis was a good word to use.. the ‘kini’ part, if referring to bikinis, seems like it would use less material and show as much skin as possible, not use the most material to cover up as much as possible..

Had to look up the word “crytpid,” as I’d never heard it before. From the context I assumed it meant either “foolish” or “idiotic.”
