dear octopus-loving friends,1
i’m glad you’re here.
welcome to some octopus-related fun.
first, do you know that there is a track on my first album, Vegan Mind Meld2, called “Jews and Sea Creatures” that is about a minute long and octopus-related? also did you know that it is animated and you can watch it? well, that is all so and now you know for sure.
next, the octopus-related written fun units of the day!
1) ocTOPus:
the octopus is cool because it has so many opportunities to high five.3
2) ocMIDDLEus:
a coat of arms sounds like winter clothes for an octopus.4
3) ocBOTTOMus:5
octopus = 1 octopus6
octopuses = 2 octopuses
octopi = 2 roman octopuses7
octopodes = 2 greek octopuses
octo-potus = president of the octopuses8
and those are the octopus-related funs for the day!

and also welcome to anyone who just hasn’t learned enough about the wonderful creature that is the octopus yet
this link is one of the only places you can see all of the tracks from Vegan Mind Meld. on some streaming services they are not all there. for the Myq Kaplan standup comedy completist.
also, if you're upset at losing socks in the laundry, be glad you're not an octopus!
and if you're an octopus, be glad you don't need socks.
or a coat of legs. or a coat of tentacles. also i know these creatures don’t wear clothes. but maybe that’s because no one has knitted them anything yet.
PS look at the image at the bottom of this message to see one of my proudest moments, when the dictionary retweeted and validated my silly octopus joke.
of course, “octopus” also could be short for a great october work, or an “oct. opus” (feel free to revisit this octopus opus in october)
here is something that a few helpful fans have pointed out as well:
octopi = 3.14159 octopuses
i believe i first tweeted this when obama was POTUS, and i share this now as biden is. who knows what will happen during the next democratic president’s term? let’s make sure democracy keeps being a thing and find out!
This was a handful.
