How do you tackle an invasion of giant jellyfish? Try making sushi

Oh god I've never had such a strong urge to poke the shit out of something in my whole life.

wilberforce: nightcrome was riffing on O RLY? A little searching on google reveals O RLY? is a silly internet meme. Cute and campy, but not as funny as buttsecks?

tweak, I tried. I really tried very hard to come up with something funny involving "buttsecks?" and "jelly" but it was just too obvious for humor.

It is all an elaborate plot to make us pee on ourselves.

Now we just need giant peanut butter fish and some bread, and it's good eats for everyone. Notice, though, how you never see a grape jellyfish in the wild? They're always just "slime" flavored. Weird.

I mean, literally: can you eat jellyfish if you're Jewish?

matteo: google sez no. Oddly, whale is not kosher either. Lev. 11:9; Deut. 14:9

Thanks!
I googled O JLY, but the misspelling suggestion they gave was O HOLY, and I thought that was a bit of a stretch.
I don't think I've hung out on boards long enough to have O RLY sink in. Or at least, the fora I lurk in tend to have proper spelling.

From the first article: And although reports of serious human injury are rare, there are records of people dying from the creature's noxious sting.
From the second (CNN) article: Despite their size, the invertebrates aren't toxic enough to cause serious harm to humans, but fishermen often wear goggles and protective clothing to avoid stings when dealing with them.
I'm getting a mixed message here...

As someone who gets more than a little creeped out by jellyfish I did not appreciate that picture. Thanks!

The pictures were awesome. I have no idea why one would get into the water with something like that.

Jellyfish tastes good. Serve with a little rice wine vinegar, mmmm, crunchy.
