Did they not predict Japan getting knocked out of the competition by Belgium, or were they killed in anger when they did make the prediction?

Same. Anything that can damn-near offer suggestions on how it should be prepared won’t be going down my gullet.
Anymore, at least.

That’s not how the kids these days use “shipped”, but I’m incredibly amused when I swap that definition in.
If it turns out that octopodes are aliens and are on their way back for their lost brethren, I can think of one fisherman who is going to be in for some interesting times.

Octopi are really, really intelligent. Seems a tad heartless to kill and eat one. I know, bleeding heart and all that. But it seems a shame to turn an intelligent creature into calories.

I don’t know, I bet kids use the words “gutted” and “sold” in some pretty unique ways as well…

Thing is octopi aren’t nearly as intelligent or complicated as has recently been pushed.
And pigs. Which most people eat no problem are way more intelligent. At least as intelligent as dogs. Deliciously intelligent.

Okay, okay, I give. Still a bleeding heart, but you all have righteous mocks.

Coming soon to a children’s bookseller near you: the inspiring tale of Charlotte’s Tentacle, in which a wise sea spider craftily manages to save the life of a delicious octopus from his rapacious human owner.

My phone likes to swap no and to. And not with boy among other things.
