  1. Well, they finally came up with a solution. You never find decent dreadlock styled wigs….... Now you don’t have to. You can just wear an octopus on your head!!!! Clearly a real alternative for those who are folically challenged!

  2. Excellent, octopi are the new faux hawks. I always knew cephalopods would have their day to shine.

  3. Yo you need more Seoul representation on this website.

  4. Kate: I know, right? But the photos of ‘Set’ player assaults with plastic hammers didn’t come out so hot. They need better lighting in that game parlor.

    Mel: Bonus points for using ‘cephalopods’. I want more science in my life.

  5. How ‘bout more Soul representation on this website?

  6. Oh wow, bonus points redeemable for absolutely nothing. Yeeessssss!

    You might not be able to tell, but I haven’t been this stoked since I won the three-legged race in 5th grade and had to drag my collapsed, behemoth, partner Billy Bob Beauregard-Jangle uphill in the freezing rain.

  7. Guig: More Soul than an octopus pretending to be dreadlocks? Dude, you gotta tell me what that is. ‘Cause the world needs it.

    Mel: They are redeemable for love. This time you were a mere 1 letter away from getting the Extreme Bonus associated with writing a name that includes all the letters in ” Bojangle’s ”. So close.

  8. Dammit, I had Bojangle but thought it too obvious. Another time, perhaps.
