OUR MULTI-LIMBED SUPERIORS

You would think that creatures with the same number of limbs might somehow feel for each other, especially when they are anomalies.
The internet, after all, is FILLED with charming videos of dogs, cats, goats, marmots, and various other animals developing unlikely friendships and altogether getting along swimmingly.

It's so effing cute you just want to squeal.

Then you paste them on facebook.

And all your friends "like".


Nothing makes people go smarmy and moist like cute animal videos.

I myself am not over-the-top enthused about the loveability of our fellow carbon-based lifeforms, and positively hate moist smarm, believing that that is a Republican and Christian value not worth sharing.

Never-the-less, here's one that makes me go all soft inside.

Gooey.

WELCOME TO DINNER TIME!

It's from the dark continent of Australia, where men are men, sheep are passive-aggressive, and octopodi rule.

That octopus has my approval. Decisive action, a risk well-weighed, and perfectly sensible and understandable needs and feelings.

An emotionally stable individual, who just loves crab.

If he had a fry-pan, he'd need garlic and ginger.

Plus scallions, and a little rice-wine.

One or two chilies.

I need one as a pet. They are personable, forthright, and charming.
And far more intelligent than dinner.
Huggable.
