Squid Force

Most people think of sharks as eating machines, stealthy stealthing the depths of the ocean, looking for Christian babies to eat, as it is the only way to satisfy their unholy hunger. Kind of like sea vampires, only not quite as hot, and you probably couldn’t get Gary Oldman to play one in a movie. In summary, they are scary so we might as well cut off their fins and make a soup used for some kind of boner tonic for us gentlemen.

Sharks are stealthy, no doubt. But the last thing they crave is human blood. Somehow we need to get the word out. Hmmm. But how to do that, you say? Lets kick it Obama style, do some community organizing and march around and tell people! Can we kick it, yes we can! ¡Si, Se Puede!

On Saturday, January 17th, from 12pm until 3pm, there will be a Shark March Through China Town in Toronto, Ontario. Yonge Street & Dundas Street (Eatons Centre). It might be a long way from any actual sharks, but there is a certain vibrant community there that makes use of a ton of shark fins.

There is more info at the facebook group. Even if you’re not from Toronto, sign up for the group or stay tuned here at the Squid Force HQ for other events in San Francisco and New York.

Remember - if all you know about sharks is that they make for good movies and soup, you have no right to silently judge them. Lets leave the silent judging to the Williamsburg hipsters, shall we?

The Squidforce likes wind turbines

When you think of energy in New Jersey, most people get an image of the Linden cogeneration plant, smellin’ distance away from Newark Airport. While it is unlikely that the planned NJ Windfarm will allow us to shut down Linden, or New Jersey’s two nuclear power plants, it is a step in the right direction.

We at Squidforce support the plan. You might be thinking “Hey Mr. Squidforce guy, how could someone be against renewable power? Why do you even have to say that you support it? Its like hatin’ on a puppy or wanting your mom to find your porn stash. It just doesn’t make sense.”

Well, gentle reader, if you were reading the news instead of that unconfiscated issue of Penthouse from 1986, you would know that even an unabashed liberal like Ted Kennedy came out against a Nantucket windfarm that could be seen from the fabled Kennedy Hyannisport compound. Apparently rich people get the NIMBY bug just like poor people, except that rich people often have access to US Senators that can stop a plan in their backyard.

Since the backyard in this case is the NJ coast off of the hellhole known as Atlantic City, I’m sure no one really cares about how the things look. Anyone who goes to AC never goes outside, anyway. Even if they do, their eyes aren’t going to be able to adjust to real God given sunlight in time to see spinning windmills 20 miles out, as they make their 450 Megawatts of sweet, sweet hydrocarbon free power.

Lets hear what all of you have to say about the plan. For or against?

Before you comment, you might want to read the shill of a web site for the project itself, or the reasonably factual PSE&G press release.
