Fans of Awesomeness, We Give You the Disco Clam


Oh, glorious disco clam, most awesome of shellfish, how bright your disco lights flash down deep in the sea. The disco clam may well be the most fabulous clam in all the wide world. Don't take our word for it, though. The disco clam does its thing to scare off predators, like the previously posted awesome mantis shrimp. Add to this horrifying flashing the fact that the disco clam's tentacles are dosed with sulpheric acid, and you can see why even the mighty mantis shrimp takes pause. Check out this fight, and whatever follows between a mantis shrimp and a disco clam. Awesome.

Weirdos Sighted in Walla Walla, Witch Activity Suspected



This is the scene today in Walla Walla. Things in the studio have gotten a bit out of hand, with weirdos emerging from their haunted paintings. You know about enchanted paintings if you have read "Adventure in Sugarland," which gives and account of Lulu's experience with a magical painting. This is a slightly different situation, but suffice it to say that we're quite concerned. Stay out of sight, Lulu, until we finish our investigations.

Strange and Florid and Sordid and Horrid

We're off to see the Wizard in the lake. You remember Lulu, the Wizard of Crater Lake. What do we seek at such an altitude, you may be wondering. Well, it seems that the prose in these parts needs some purpling and perhaps even a bit of glitter, so, in order to enhance the weirdness of the Walla Walla chapters of our Wickidity works, we go in search of an enchanted thesaurus. It's said this book has the power to render the most minimal of prose barely readable, so convoluted and baroque, that code is practically unnecessary. So, while we're out, Lulu, you'll have to entertain yourself for a bit. To that end, check out this music/self-help video.

Fans of Awesomeness, Behold The Goblin Shark



Today we're thinking about a weird and interesting animal. This animal, as you may have surmised from the title of this post, is the goblin shark. The goblin shark lives deep in the ocean and is only rarely seen by humans. They are slow swimmers and are thought to hunt by ambushing other critters on the sea floor. They're also, as you can see in the above video, pretty weird and even scary looking. Don't worry, though, as you're unlikely to run into a goblin shark during your next day at the beach. They live in all of the major oceans of the world, but are rarely even caught by fishermen. They are such ancient creatures that they are sometimes referred to as "living fossils." We know a few other living fossils, but their Members Only jackets are wearing thin these days, so they don't get out as much as they used to.
