I got attacked by an octopus today!!!!!
 

Well, not attacked, but I went to the tidepools during low tide today and discovered an octo under a rock. I managed to get him to grab on to my hand with 3 tentacles. (WAY stronger than I expected) It was pretty amazing.

I will upload video asap.

Cant wait to see the video.

It's nice to live at the beach:thumbsup

Were you singing ocean vagina???

oh you couldnt upload then tell us... im in frickin suspense here hal

Wow.. I can not wait to see the video!

sounds cool, i'll check back for the video

That's a huge ass octopus :helpme

Even the small ones are quite strong it's amazing

don't hug the animals

Ahh I see what the problem is.

He wasn't attacking. He wanted a hug !

Great meeting you in LA Hal. You attracted him with the power of of the pink!

Those little suckers are fricken hard to get off once they get a good hold. Make sure you don't get your face too close, it will end up like a scene from Alien.

lucky it wasn't a bluering!

looking forward to the video halcyon :)

I did that once and the octopus sprayed me with its black ink. scared the shit out of me.

it was *slightly* smaller than that. :)

But from what I felt today, sometting that size would be WAY TOO strong to defend against.

Glad you were ok .. I saw a snake in my pond today and freaked out lol :)

Ever see the national geograhic video where the octopus eats the shark?

Not only are they strong but they are fucking _SMART_.

Show us the vid, can't wait to see it! And good thing you're still alive :)

cool video and beautiful beach

Thank you! That is north of Scripts Pier in north La Jolla.

there's only one secret to great hair - genes. taking creatine of course is going to prematurely bald you. :thumbsup

Yup, but Propecia + Rogaine helps to slow it down a bit.

However, it is really hard to see a 40 year old white male with a perfect hairline nowadays. Most have temples or some level of baldness.
