This octopus is such a chick!

cute cute xo

Oh, wait. I get it. It’s “eyelashed” in quotes – I see the marks. I get it. *Goes to get more coffee*

Can have in Wisconsin?

Is it weird that I want to nom that octopus?

She’s all glittery!!

and LOL at the ‘auwww, you made me ink’ comment. LOL (I nearly choked on my soda!)

It’s Hello Kitty’s octopus friend Squishy-kun!

I too want to nom that octopus, it looks delightfully chewy, like pink bubble gum.

Much cuter than the ones that get thrown onto the ice at the Joe Louis Arena.

Are we sure that the Japanese didn’t create this in a secret super-cute-making laboratory?

Hooray Pharyngula!

Calamari jokes on the next aisle! Until we get a cute squid, we’re just going to have to stick to octy jokes.

Such a cute little thing, but she does look a little angry…like someone hasn’t picked up around the coral reef. She’s looking at you, with the eight tentacles. Did you pick up the little ones from anemone school? No? Shame on you for forgetting your own children in the open sea – we’re endangered!

I have no idea whether these things are endangered, my mind just wandered into a marital-type conversation in which mom squid and dad squid are arguing, and perhaps mom squid also looks like a baby alien from the Alien movies…so this has turned into “aw cute” to “don’t. eat. me!”

Looks just like a mochi! I want to nom some octopus shaped treat!

I don’t even like pink things very much — but on an octopus it is TOO KEEYUTE.

Also, I like to imagine that though this octopus looks like it might be tiny, it’s actually FIFTY FEET TALL and tippy-toeing her way through the streets of NY!!!

Love the “text 8 people at once, bitches.” yeah, true dat.

@coffeeCup: See the cute baby squidlike alien from “Men in Black”?

Is this a nuclear octopus? She seems a little…glowy.

Sweet! It was so much fun last time Meg said bitches.

@ Bean: Hey, I have the same shirt as your wife. “Tuesday’s Gonna Be Rough” I wore it yesterday.

It looks almost delicately fuzzy… or frosted with that crackly frost that adorns windows where it’s cold enough (not here, though). I’m sure there’s a name for it – but it’s been 20 years since I lived where it snows.

Ninja-Octo, ready to strike with eight delicate but lethal arms!

Octopususes scare me. It’s like eight snakes at once.

But this one is cute.

@Ding, I also enjoyed the haiku. Seems like in a previous post, someone haiku’d, was that you? Can we look forward to more?
Not to mention, the adorabuhls octypoo although he does kind of look like those big head people that were on the old Star Trek once.. does anyone know who I mean..

@Mary The 1st: I know exactly who you mean…..yes, I’ve watched too much Star Trek. (Dammit, Jim, I’m a doctor not a marine biologist!) Chalk up another reason for my spinsterhood (besides not knowing the “mistletoe rules” laid out in the previous post)!!

Love the most subtle of octo-smiles

OMG, look clooosley folks
does this not look like
an ailien? So pinky and
glitter-ishy! It does like
a squishy toy, my doggie
would want to nom it.
This does not look like the
lil octipi that my X
used to like to EAT!!!
would it taste like a
jelly bean??? oops sorry.

Wait…Is that the episode with Captain Pike? Or another one?

omg. i would totally wear her as an adornment on a froufy dress.

This is so cute and so symetrical that it almost looks fake!

a.dor.a.buhls.

i love it! and it’s PINK!!!!!

*girlie moment!*

This is cute, but oddly…fetal.

Trin, I totally want to crochet an octopus amigurumi now.

Wow. So what is her actual size? Is she a baby? Wow, again. She looks like a Gummi.
