Jess, in case I haven't said it in like half and hour, I fucking love you!!!

Well, it was Jessica's post, but Tadiana is the one who got me to change my name....

Tadiana for President/Boss/Mammoth of Monsters :D

*thirded and so moved*

Here is your machete, tadiana, lead away :P

And I fucking love you too, Karly!

All hail, Tadiana! Queen of the peacock mantis shrimp mermaids!!

*bows before Tadiana*

My nefarious liege. I am your not-so-humble servant.

I worry that some of you may not know the full awesomeinity that is the mantis shrimp so, please, use this link to educate yourselves: http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_s...

Also, I bought Gabe a t-shirt from that site and no one ever bows down to him when he wears it because people are generally stupid. It makes me sad. They all need to be shrimped in the face.

I HAD read that before actually ;)

If I saw Gabe (or anyone for that matter) wearing an Oatmeal shirt I would knock their wife (and my husband) down and kiss them on the mouth. Not one person ever appreciated the magic and wonderment that my "Why Grizzly Bears Should Wear Underpants" calendar provided ALLLLLLL during 2014. Idiots.

Actually, since I know you were the one to make the purchase I would probably knock Gabe down and do my best Justin Bieber impersonation before kissing you : )

OH MY GOD.

How could I have missed that comic?

THAT IS SO COOL ERICA. GHENGIS KHAN SOAKED IN SHERBERT. YAHS.

That link is what started the whole thing, Erica!!!!! Because when I first saw Mantis Shrimp, I was totally like WTF?

did you somehow miss that all are new names are FROM that comic, Erica?? (Well, mine is spring-boarded from a comment but the rest are)

I changed my mind. I want my epithet to be *Ghengis Khan soaked in Sherbert*

Yes, Nenia. That is totally appropriate!

You really can find anything on Google cant you....oh my.

Stop threatening me, you bully! Good lord!
I have this tshirt: http://shop.theoatmeal.com/products/c...
Because why wouldn't I have that shirt?
Also: I have retro envy of your calendar.
Gabe, however, got me Hyperbole and a Half for this year's calendar so my envy's not too too great.

After some more exploration over at Jessica's thread, I see the comic had already been posted there. Now it has been posted here, too, so that information continues to flow. Like spice.
When it first came out, I forced my niece and nephew to read it until they had it memorized and now they run around murder sticking each other. It's good fun. I'm the best aunt ever.

Karly *The Vampire Ninja & Luminescent Monster* wrote: "did you somehow miss that all are new names are FROM that comic, Erica??"

Nono, I knew the people with names had read the strip. That's why I said that I worried SOME of the people had not read it because after reading it, everything becomes way more understandable in this thread.
I'm being a librarian. I'm helping with literacy.
You're welcome, Goodreads. And Nenia. You are welcome, Nenia.

Oh good! I love "the oatmeal"!

Thank you for being a good and helpful librarian..... now I will kill you with my murder sticks for not being one of us!

"onetwothree DEATH!"

I, too, love The Oatmeal.
Did you know that if you tweet to Matthew Inman, he'll often tweet back?
Actually, a lot of the funny people tweet back, which is kind of amazing to me. I'm always amazed when anyone at all talks to me on Twitter, though, sooooo...maybe I'm not the best judge of what is amazing over there.

I think just being ON twitter is amazing. I can't tweet, I keep confusing it with "treat" and ending up at the fridge. It's terrible.

Now I'm hungry!
Ok, I was already hungry.
I'm hungrier now, though.
Time for a treat!

I am now eating.... thanks to my own comment!! See?! You see why I fail at things?

You got this Kelly

Karly *The Vampire Ninja & Luminescent Monster* wrote: "I am now eating.... thanks to my own comment!! See?! You see why I fail at things?"

You do fail, but not for the reason you think.
As soon as I hit POST on my whine-fest, a co-worker walked in with a bowl of honey yogurt and homemade granola.
I didn't even have to get up to be fed.
And this is how you fail and I win: You had to get your own treat. Mine was brought to me.

In other news:
I am a coral, Karly.
And I'm going to own it. Know why?
Coral can cut a bitch.
Also, People who receive an injury from a toxic coral or have extensive cuts and abrasions from running into a reef are at risk for coral poisoning. Coral injuries that heal slowly or poorly, leak pus or fluids or being to swell suggest the onset of poisoning. Other symptoms include fever, chills, swollen glands and fatigue. In certain cases, divers experience an allergic reaction to contact with coral or another reef inhabitant leading to anaphylaxis shock, with symptoms, including low blood pressure, difficulty breathing and abdominal pain, occurring between 15 minutes and three hours after exposure. Source
And if that's not enough, here's some more delightful reading: http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2002-11...
And coral can live hundreds of years, teeming with life like an underwater metropolis, looking all ecologically-minded and innocent until BAM! Cut you up!
Yeah. I'll be a coral.

Treats are better anyway. Tweets are for kids, silly rabbit shrimp

meh, I don't want to live forever if I have to stay in one place. Also, I would rather kill things than give them life BECAUSE I am an asshole like that.

And I had yogurt too (but yes I got it from the fridge myself) However tonight CQ is cooking for me and all I have to do is lie on the couch and read.

I know you are hounding, Erica, and I want to give you a pass on this but that face is begging to be punched. Begging for it! I loathe him.

Oh, punch away my love. I find him douchey as well..but I am trying VERY hard to support Erica in her Bieber Lovin'.

..... don't they having meetings for that (ending that I mean, like AA meetings)? they should.

And this is where my coral nature comes in because I am going to cut all the bitches.
All of them.

Oh, I will challenge your cutty coral to my "murder sticks" any day :P (However I currently have covered my ears eyes because I don't want to hear see that my corgi-twin loves the Biebs, I may cry!)

Can't *gasp* breathe...oh the laughs, the laughs! "I am going to cut all the bitches." Hahahahahahaha did you not see my name? Did you not see that we are creatively violent? I am not afeared.

Yes, they really, really should.

I thought you were staying a mammoth, my mistake.

This thread is amazing.

Until Beiber reared his noxious head again.
I am so maligned it's not even funny.
It's like I'm being haunted.
I should write a horror story about this.
PS: I hate my husband (he started this whole thing)

Karly *The Vampire Ninja & Luminescent Monster* wrote: "I thought you were staying a mammoth, my mistake."

Nope. Screw that mammoth stuff. Too many of them got eaten by cavemen. Peacock mantis shrimp FTW!

Oh, yay!!!! I am the most happy psychotically, murderous Peacock Mantis Shrimp Mermaid you will EVER see :D

I hate Biebs face. Seeing it makes me murderous (er, than I already am). You should use your stabby sticks on Gabe..... oh wait you don't have them because you chose to stay a coral. Go cut him accidentally then.

It's YOUR fault for posring all about your love for him on the interwebs ... and then trying to blame your innocent husband. That's just mean.

Easy peasey! He's always trying to touch me and give me love and so I shall cut and infect him as he does so and then he will leak pus and I will laugh with malicious glee.

Kelly (and the Book Boar) wrote: "and then trying to blame your innocent husband. That's just mean."

Yeah. Innocent. Like Evie. They are both full of innocence. It oozes from their pores.
Like infection.

I am glad I found this thread, because i was wondering who all these people were on my friends list.

Erica should change her name too. I would suggest one but she is getting all cutty on people.

HAH, so I know it's a lie..... no intelligent man will ever say his wife loves The Biebs and then try to cuddle them afterwards, not unless it's not considered a huge crime in their world.... it must be TRUE! Ewwwwww.

She's just an infection coral, she isn't as cool as us "Peacock Mantis Shrimp Mermaids"

She's a stagnant coral...just don't touch her and you will be fine. Probably a good idea anyway, you wouldn't want to catch her Bieb fever.
