They seem a little too eager to wield that thing.

Syfers reconsidered: I want an octopus.

Dang. Our Octpus car wash went out of business 2 years ago. I badly wanted that octopus for my backyard, but one day it was gone. Gone!

*sob*

'kay... I don't care how "cute" that damn octopus is supposed to look. As a kid, that would've scared the hell outta me!

The "cute" smile woulda just made it worse.

What? No picture of Clean Silvio?

No mention of Rose Royce?

In a Ghostbusters-inspired battle, who would win, Fuelman or the Octopus? I'd bet on the Octopus.

I don't know -- if FuelMan has any kind of ignition device, it could be a short battle.

Flamethrower robot versus cephalopod with a sponge and bucket.

Mmmmmm... Fried calamari.

The reason this post isn't at all like Lileks is that he'd start describing what we can all see in the picture but somehow do it in a way that would make everything absurd. I am framing the shots to put some ideas in your head, so I don't usually want to substitute text, and I like leaving the comments open for riffing on the images. I love the idea of Fuelman and the Octopus in a battle.

I grew up a few blocks from that Octopus...

Cute. Not scary. The 15 foot high mural of a wild-eyed Italian chef that confronts the octopus from Lombardino's -- very scary!

Dory: Yeah, we need to get Chef Lombardino in the battle with Octopus and Fuelman.
