I do not personally have a squid in this fight

Nicholas Whyte casts his eye on the recent discussion of British Fantasy Awards, in which (to quote Cherryl Morgan) "the person who counted the final ballot was also the winner of one award, the publisher of two other winners, and the partner of the winner of two more."

I am going to use the title of this post frequently in conversation.

The possibilities are nigh endless. I'm currently favouring "two squid enter, one squid leaves!"

Two squids, one cup.

Just check out the anime Squid Girl which is non-stop squid puns, including episode titles like "Aren't You a Squiddle under the Weather," "Squidn't You Bring an Umbrella," and "Is this Inkfatuation or Love?"

I read the Wikipedia page after this was mentioned in the recent anime post. How over-the-top silly is this? Like, on a 1-to-10 scale of silliness is it 10.5 or 16?

I was surprised to learn that the show airs after midnight in Japan and not at 3:30 in the afternoon. The tone is about the same as Duck Tales or Rescue Rangers -- silly, peppy and hilarious.

Oh, my. Thank you; I'm going to pass that along. I know people who are in squids about activism, and many of them deserve this.

This made me jet ink all over my keyboard.

Any idea of the original source? I'd love to give credit where it's due!
