    Sorry, I am unimpressed with the elephant squid. Just a pic of an elephant, with tentacles coming out its belly. Maybe someone speared an elephant in the abdomen with a particularly sharp squid. Honestly, if you can't be bothered to remove the elephant legs from the picture and THEN put on squid tentacles, you should not even own Photoshop.

    @crashedpc: I would just like to point out that an elephant squid would obviously have legs that end in tentacles. Plus, the hat. That is all.

    @Annalee Newitz: Funny thing is, my original response actually alluded to the fact that Nudemanatee seemed to be three people at once. Somehow it became an echo chamber of madness. Which, incidentally, is also awesome.


    Hat = Mandatory. Complete concurrence.

    Kind of a budget version of some Kid Robot/BAPE stuff, but clever.

    I think that you could probably achieve that desired effect with a Sunday afternoon, a trip to a thrift store and Michael's Art's and Crafts for some felt, glue and googly eyes.

    @Grrsn Dn: That's what, 25 bucks worth of stuff? 10 dollars for a hoodie, 5 bucks for felt, glue, and googly eyes, and 10 bucks for lunch.

    @Grrsn Dn: I'd actually have to rip the seams and sew the felt on. If it wouldn't look so weird when worn normally(make you look like you have a church window halo, or Lisa Simpson hair), I'd do this in a heart beat. I do have a hoody for just around the house, but I should probably wait until AFTER I get a girlfriend. :)

    @Elizabeth Weinbloom: @Annalee Newitz: I found a Singer Model 201 Sewing Machine(circa 1950) about two years ago(some say THE best home machine ever made), and have no qualms about pulling it away from the wall and making some bell bottoms for last years themed New Years Eve party, or saving nine stitches by doing one in time.

    In looking at this closer, they didn't even rip out the hoodie seam to place the material in, they just laid it along the inside and stitched. My version would have stuffed teeth so they don't fold over to easy and maintain their fearsome-ness.

    If anyone is interested, I have contact info at my webiste, GitEmSteveDave.com . I'll even pay for dinner!

    Elephant-squid, fine. I'm not going to be caught dead with that hoodie, esp. if a: $50! b: I have to pose like THAT to get the desired effect, and c: wait, googly eyes make it better! And less scary!
