Actually the fact the octopus didn't slaughter the crustys is my problem.
octopus love lobbys
which is why lobbys around here hang in caves with wobbys.
And wobbys love to eat ockys so it all works for every one.

Do you talk like this in real life or what?...

It's called 'Ocka' mate!
Only the chosen few can speak it, gods own t'would seem.
Now if you would prefer the laborious terms wobbegong, octopus and lobster
I can work it it,
but your just making it hard on yourself digger.

Eh, no real worries (insert "mate" here). You're at least giving evidence, it
seems, based on your firsthand experience, rather than on videos or articles
someone you know says they read. And posting like you talk is most certainly
not the worst thing a person can do.

I'm assuming it's Strine. "Crustys" are crabs, "Ockys" are octopodes and
I'm no help with "wobbys" but apparently ockys are afeared of them.

Alas, it may be too late for him/her/it. Prevention says not to learn

Mind translating wobbegong, just one more time, into a language closer to
English as she is spoke?

Plus "swarvegorilla" has great cred in the aquaria groups. Most of which
have been taken over by a long-lived flame war amongst rejects of the mental
variety and his/her post are of the few that are worth reading. Their
insight in this thread is welcome.

Wobbegong sharks, as pointed out by another poster.
Not that I have anything relevant to add to the conversation, but I'm just
pleased that after eight years it's finally come full circle. It's not
octopi, octopii, or octopusses. It's octopodes. And yes, Charles speaks
real good English.

Isn't there a Lake Wobbegong in Meenasohta?

Figured it was something like that...it's just that the specific words you used,
and so many of them in such a short space ("lobbys hang around with wobbys, and
wobbys love to eat ockys") sounded like a cross between Dr Seuss and HP
Lovecraft....r
