Octopus with a cleaning fixation?


Albuquerque Octopus Carwash! Posted by Hello

This is the octopus on top of the Albuquerque Octopus Carwash. I used to be terrified of octopi as a child. But I'm developing a fondness for them. At least for giant fake ones hanging on top of a building in the middle of desert country, holding sponges and brushes and whatnot. And yes, I recognize that some may argue that "octopi" is not a word. I disagree, vehemently. Or at least argue that it should be. As should "walri" be a word. Really -- think about it, say this out loud to yourself: "Look at ALL those WALRI!" Doesn't that just feel far more satisfying thatn "look at all those walruses?"
