Yuck... what a creepy-looking beastie.

Bruce, how did you ever get this obsession with squids anyway?

Coincidentially..you know that in the biker scene we call people who drive like idiots (wheelies, no protective gear..) "Squids"?
That's because of the traces they leave on the asphalt when they crash. It's tough, it's giving up hope but then people who pay bucks for a bike can as well pay bucks for gear, can't they?

@ genevainformation

I always wondered where that came from. Surprised someone doesn't start the official squids biker gang.
