Better Names for an Octopus

A better name for an octopus? It's tough to make stuff up. We could start with a brand-new appellation. How about a name like "Suction Pup"?! Or perhaps we could start the debate with a numerical tag like "Ocean's Eight". Another name open for discussion would be a handle like "Squid's Cousin". Still another, somewhat grandiloquent, could be the rather pompous "Inknificent". My Scottish friends, with joy, will weep if the new label is "Bagpipes of the Deep"! Or one can almost hear sailors shout "Ahoy! Is that a rock? No, it's an Ol' Tangly Boy!"

I'm smiling at you, Jim. :) My favorite names within are ' Bagpipes of the Deep, ' and ' Ol' Tangly Boy. ' This is soooo funny. " Ahoy. " I must say, your thoughts are so clever and creative. I'm gonna save this cute poem to read again and again. I'm still smiling, my sweet friend. :) Hugs, Brandy
