Hi, I'm Phil, I'm taking over for Cindy.
Who ordered the Calamari?

Well yeah, I mean, it's called freakin' Terminator Power Armour.

That's just inherently awesome.

Besides the bad guys are frequently more awesome.
Which would you rather have: a Super Star Destoryer or a boring Mon Calamari cruiser? A dragon or a horse? A fireaxe or Shelly Duvall?

Even in real life... yeah, the Nazis were pretty goddamn evil, but you can't deny they had style.

edit: just re-read that... just to be absolutely clear, I am not suggesting that the Nazis were in any way awesome, simply that they had cool stuff.

Dammit! I can't seem to find it. I think I tried to find it because i wanted to submit it. I could have sworn it was on here. I saw it through netflix and it was one of the first full episodes I'd ever watched and one of my favorites. Here's a link to the clip. http://www.travelchannel.com/travelchannel/TV_Shows/Anthony_Bourdain/Video/Tony_Eats_Live_Octopus
I guess if I can find a copy of it to embed, it shall be submitted by me... until someone finds the original! LOL

I've had fried calamari, more than once, and it never did anything for me. I thought it tasted bland, and I didn't care for the texture. Still, I'd be willing to try it again if it were seasoned, as long as it wasn't too spicy. (I like spicy food, provided the spice doesn't overwhelm all the other flavors.)

I don't recall seeing the Anthony Bourdain clip that you're mentioning, but I'd watch it if you found it for me. And served me some potstickers. Mmmm...potstickers. In reply to this comment by Issykitty:
Personally, no... but Issy and Frankie probably would. LOL! I do enjoy having grilled octopus and squid at the Korean BBQ, and it is usually marinated in a sauce that contains very spicy gochujang (hot pepper paste). Have you seen the Anthony Bourdain clip of when he went to South Korea with the producer of his show who is of course Korean? I will find it. I believe it is on here. It is a most interesting episode!

Have you ever tried this? If so, remind me to NEVER mess with you. Anyone who could do that strikes fear into my bowels. Yes, bowels.

I love calamari.

Admiral Ackbar bodyslams Mon Mothma! She can't repel firepower of that magnitude!


IT'S A TRAP!

Really, what was Lucas thinking of when he named them Mon Calamari? "Enh, it's Italian for squid, nobody will notice."


Not to mention that Ackbar is very close to a Norwegian word for squid, akkar.

Great post - that's some serious calamari!

I saw this in a paper but hadn't seen any pictures of it. I would love to see some good footage of a colossal squid alive in its natural habitat
