It’s a “Cuddlefish”

The research team of the E/V Nautilus, who always sound like they’re having a delightful Netflix viewing party, have encountered yet another adorable creature of the deep: a purple cuttlefish with great big googly eyes.




It’s adorkable, Andrew Y. (via Mashable)

    “If I don’t move maybe it won’t see me.”

    That’s what the comment section here would sound like, if we had sound. Cracking jokes about the “cuddlefish” and googly eyes. “I wanna see it swim.” Me too.

      You’re right – I certainly wanted to see him swim – and maybe move those eyes!

    The video headline says “…stubby…” How do we know that? It never moved. Also, I can see we’re going to have to keep an eye on Mike’s subhead – now it’s …subliminal tattoo parlor.

      Well spotted.

      Darn it, I was just about to buy a muffler.

      If you watch very closely tentacles move slightly.

      Now it is all coming together–I don’t have any tattoos, in fact I am not partial to them but the other day as I walked past the local parlour I had this compulsion to go in and get inked “I am so happy I could incubate a sprinkler.”

        You know what? I would GLADLY buy a mug that says “I’m so happy I could incubate a sprinkler!” I’ve got several mugs from the days of Regretsy with some of their most pertinent, uh, sayings, and I love them! So Mike, you need to think about opening a Café Press store with a few products with some of your best stuff. Heck, I’d buy a Hamster Dog t-shirt in a heartbeat!!!

        Oh, and they showed this little googly-eyed creature on the local news tonight and talked about getting into a staring contest with it. 😀

    It looks like it should be one of the Pokemon…can I catch him??

    It’s a faaaaake!

    I love that one of the girl says “it looks like some kid dropped their toy” because that’s exactly what I was thinking.

        H. P. Lovecraft’s dog’s squeaky toy! 😀

          Ha!

    Grape coloured.

    Okay, I want to go hang out on the Nautilus! The cuttlefish is great–tho those eyes seriously look painted on–but the fun the crew is having is even better!?

    Yes, I do want to cuddle this fish.

    Despite the hard, googly-eyed stare, I bet this cuddlefish is secretly crying inside, sad at all the kids making fun of his looks.

    I personally think he looks a lot of like Squidward myself, only purple.

    • allein ? August 17, 2016 / 9:28 pm

      I think he’s a cousin of Pearl from Finding Nemo.

      ‘Cept less, y’know, animated. 😉
