Is this really real?

Yeah can we trust the French on this?....

Yeah that's real, I saw that story too. Freaky looking thing. Looks like the Bigfoot of the ocean.

about the size of a small salad plate, or 5-6 inches. and if you ever see one, swimming after you, you've already been crushed into oblivion, several thousand feet below the surface of the ocean in a very very deep trench.

I don't think the Squid is going to like this.

Thank God it's only six inches long, because otherwise, it would instantly become the scariest creature on the planet.

If he signs with the Yankees, George will make him shave.

Not to kill the Piss on George Parade, but the Mets have the same policy.

Willie Randolph is not a Yankee. He was a Yankee. Like it or not (and I don't), he's a Met.
