We are a group of friends and acquaintances -- a merry band of pranksters indeed -- who have been arguing about politics on-and-off, then really on, then a little off... since 1998. On email. But that meant literally thousands of emails a year. That was too many. So here's the blog dedicated to carrying on that spirit of political and pop culture argument and dialogue. You might think of us as "schmoliticians", because while we take politics seriously, we try not to take ourselves quite so.
Yesterday, New Zealand fishermen caught the largest colossal squid ever, in the icy waters of the Antarctic north of Japan. It's 39 feet long and almost a thousand pounds. To wit:
If calamari rings were made from the squid they would be the size of tractor tires...Somewhere, Pete is weeping for joy. Fire up the deep fryer, boys!

This example highlights one of the best features about this blog: obscure details.
Until reading this post today I had no idea there was a difference between "giant squid" and "colossal squid". Apparently the colossal distinction designates those squid that are heavier and swim in different waters.
Not much unlike Pete before college vs. now.
Well done, Randy! Great set up, excellent punch line--just fantastic execution overall.
