A.N.N. Once Again!
Now take it away... ANN!
Here we go with what I have found aqua-worthy
and most of note, in the news and on the web...
This week, we learn that ladykillers (or killer ladies, really) are indeed far more lethal than their male counterparts: only confirmation of what we already knew from before, right, Luciano...?

But let us go back to aquatic news now... Lakeside Views, even! For it seems like our aqua-friends over at Illinois-Indiana Sea Grant have it to take the fight to them nasty aquatic invaders each and every summer season - as well they should, too...
Hmm - but aren't we aquatic invaders, every time we take to the sea... dump things in it... pollute it ten thousand different ways...? (Not that it was my first instinctual reaction, immediately when I read about the campaign; but it sure got me to do as you do, Luciano - expand the notion in a different tangent, shall we say? So, be a darling and bear with me as I bear with you - okay?)
Aquatic Invaders are, of course, nothing at all like our erstwhile aquatic trio; we were the good guys, not pesky, pervasive polluters! More like infinitely small, invisible to the naked eye, tiny itty-bitty pernicious little buggers that could contaminate all of your surroundings if you make the mistake of bringing them back to your home! Disinfecting is, therefore, primordial; that's the way it is now, Luciano - you can't even go for a swim anymore without having to submit to an intricate protocol of decontamination afterwards! Just as if you'd just been through nuclear-devastated territory...
How sad, isn't it, Luciano? We, along with the Aquarius-born, who wanted nothing but to protect the seas, free them from surface pollutives, rend it once again as shiny as it used to be...! The thought of its microbial cocktail state, now, makes me crave only a long bubble bath in the safety of my tub!
Years ago, Oregon also had it firm against aquatic invasive species - no word, yet, on how that ''war on terror'' has gone... hmm? Maybe the tiny invaders eluded defeat, somehow...? Who knows what they can do, once they creep up on you? Crawl into your brains - take over? Ewwww!
A newsletter from last year also echoed the need to stop all forms of ''aquatic hitchhikers'' - and such a newsletter, full of vital aquatic information as it presents there, certainly would have been useful to these guys too, in this auld aquatic film classic time forgot...! A film that fares amazingly well on an all-time list of movies about the Bermuda Triangle that can be found on IMDB... We are not the only ones who remember watching Kim Novak and Doug... Doug... Doug Whatsisname there, swimming along in it, without any slugs around or clinging on to him, as you would, dear Luciano! Not that we are to be included in that list of aqua-hitchhikers the likes of Alejandro Rey; certainly not (spoilers alert) but this was never to be inferred, really, and we knew so much already, did we not, Luciano? ;-)
And although you have been known to hitch a ride (or twenty-thousand - not under but on...) on seafaring pleasence boats of all mettles throughout the tides; in truth, the only hitchhiker you should ever be confused with should be this one, Luciano! (I know; too bad he is such a land-based surface-dweller - and a jaywalker, on top of that! Eww!)
But back to aquatic affairs now!
I found this fascinating bit about a bipedal aquatic ape...? Totally, utterly fascinating, really; as long as the only bi part there is the pedal indeed...! Now I can almost hear you use your French on me again -how dare you again?!? lol ''Non mais quelle pédale'' you say? Ha, ha, ha. Not!
Next, I consulted a squid - the holistic squid, no less! It had the nine established and well-known benefits of aquatic therapy for me; I needed only one or two, really, at this time...! (Hell, you damn well know I've over-indulged in all nine of them, all those years ago...! But that, how do you say that again... that ''is another story''... hmm?)
Well, as fate would have it, that's not quite exactly what my friend Hippopotamus Lee has to sell me (it's really swatches; not watches) but since I need a ton of those, too, I'm buying!
Think it's entrapment? I'll tell you right now, Luciano: I've felt far more ''entrapped'' with that other friend of yours, ''Popo'' (but not so much with his usual acolytes, such as that poor gentle creature beside him, on the picture...) when I had to change clothes and he was just there looking at me, with that weird grin on his face... the perv! Popo The Perv - that's what he is! Voyeur! What a bad influence he must be on that other one and everyone else around him; and, no, I'm not just throwing barbs senselessly here...
I know, I know... that is, once again, ''another story''... See you next time!
Say goodbye, Aquaficionadas...!
