"Ok sextopus, don't make me come under that rock to get you. I'm gonna count to six. Come on, boy. I would count to ten, but, he goes crazy every time he hears that word 'eight', especially after the boating accident. I feel sorry for him sometimes."

Karen's notes: Get it? Sextopus? Like, octo - eight, sexto - six? What, didn't everyone study latin in high school?

(I'm already preparing myself for all the comments correcting me on my pseudo-latin.)

I have to tell you, though, STM cannot take credit for this one. Molly has a soft toy, which would be an octopus, except it has only six legs. I named it Sextopus. I'm so glad that STM has given him his moment in the spotlight! Here he is:

    Nothings wrong with the dog, she's just cuddling the sextopus.

    Octopus is actually Greek so I suppose it should be "Hexapus". But that's just pointless pedantry, and "Sextopus" is much funnier, so stick with that!

    God, Molly Brown Eyes is soooo cute! I just want to nibble on her adorably floppy ears. How old is she?

    Your conversations always make me giggle. It's nice to hear you having such a good time with one another.

    Squids have 8 "legs" and 2 "arms". Besides, it's clearly a Sextopus :D

    I guess my mind is in the gutter. When STM said "sextopus" I figured it was going to be some lewd referral. My apologies, STM.

    Just reminded of some old Zappa lyrics......

    "An' then I'll call - *Pup Tentacle*; I'll ask him how's his chin;
    I'll find out how the Future is, because that's where he's been.
    His little feet got long 'n' flexible, and suckers fell right in,
    Th' time he crossed the line from Later On to Way Back When......" 7@=Q

    That is such a happy sextopus, look at it smile! :)

    I don't like the real things, though, squid either. They scare me and when I was little I saw 20000 Leagues Under the Sea and I was so traumatized I would not go to the ocean for 10 years. :( But Molly looks okay with it so I do not think I would be scared. :)

    Michelle and Lisa you are not alone! lol - Until it got to the "I'm gonna count to six" part, then it clicked!
    And I still think Molly is just so cute!

    Your Latin is actually correct: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number_prefix#Table_of_number_prefixes_in_English
    It's just hexa in Greek ;)

    Keep the pictures of Molly coming. Sarcasm, snark, and cute puppies. My three favorite things.

    "You look fat when you cry" is possibly the best greeting card ever.

    To the person who knew the other person with the pentapus - did they ever contract pentapox?

    If anyone gets that reference, I'll roll.

    Rudeola is caused by Hyena hymns - I hope everyone sees the connection, they are so rude that the spots on their backs, if they laugh, are contagious, so if you want to escape anything mOzaic, then go close to those laughing bastards and...I mean google solves every adversities.
