Ditsy blonde girl.....

WhoDat? · 01/21/2010, 07:12 PM

So I was checking out a new reef octopus skimmer at my LFS when this ditsy blonde college girl walks up (I knew she was in college cause she was talking about her dorm room earlier). Anyway she very happily says. "OMG.... is that what you keep octopus's in?" (yes she says octopus's not octopus)... My reply ........."YEP" .... Lol....she then says "OMG THATS AWESOME".... I hope she is my doctor one day.....

You either. He said that she said Octopus's not him.

yes, read the whole line. He corrects the way she said it incorrectly. Was meant to be a lighthearted poke. Hence the wink.

I think Jeff was referring to this highlighted part and that it should have read "(yes she says octopus's not octopi)".

WhoDat? · 01/21/2010, 08:08 PM

Lol.... Y'all crazy.... I got it now.... Octopi... Lol... Hey I may not be the best in English but she is in college... Lol... And I think I'd have enough sense to know "octopus's" wouldn't do well in a 6" tube.... Lol...

No... I Didn't get the number... I could have told her I have the real Nemo from the actual movie at home... I'm sure she would have been all excited...

jflick345 · 01/21/2010, 08:11 PM

Actually either octopuses or octopi are acceptable plural forms.

This seems like a thread more appropriate for the loung, not the Reef Discussion form

Jeff · 01/21/2010, 09:05 PM

Agreed. Thats a good place for this type of thing. I hope I spelled everything ok and used good grammar

.

Gold Stripe · 01/21/2010, 09:06 PM

Who cares about Octopi! Did you get her number?

d2mini · 01/21/2010, 09:08 PM

Ok so let me get the facts straight.

1. Blonde girl who obviously isn't into saltwater reef keeping gets overly excited and thinks that something labeled "OCTOPUS" in a saltwater store might actually have something to do with keeping an Octopus.

2. Same Blonde girl strikes up a conversation with you about it.

3. You lie to her.

4. You don't get her number.

5. You run home and make fun of her to all your internet friends, including making fun of her grammar, yet in reality you are the one who was wrong.
n. pl. oc·to·pus·es or oc·to·pi (-pī')

Did I get that all right?

Ditsy blondes are great especially if they are hot as well. Dirty blondes are even better. Lol
