We eat at a few buffets at lunch time. I never know what I will choose from the cornucopia of offerings at the local Chinese, Thai, Korean or American home style buffets.

Regardless of  where we decide to masticate I know without question what I will not be eating.

I do not eat ANYTHING that has or had tentacles. I don't even want to eat anything from the general area where tentacled creatures are served, so today I couldn't even have beef fried rice or wantons because they were beside these suckers.

I'm pretty sure my dislike of these creatures dates back to a viewing of 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea at a young age.

If they aren't completely dead they could shinny back up your throat with those miniature toilet plungers.

The only thing worse than Squids or Octopuses would be one dressed as a clown.

As a side note: Is Octopuses the plural form of Octopus or is it just a group of whiney Octopie.... ewwwwww..... that lends itself to thoughts of tentacles bursting through the top crust of a pie.... okay that's worse than the "dressed like a clown" thing.....

Nasty just nasty.....
