    PNW Tree Octopus is not real, it can’t hurt you.

    … but Geoducks…

    Oh they’re real.

    Legend has it that if you mispronounce their name, one will visit you in the night.

        … wait you don’t want to be visited by one of these in the night, lol?

        God I love geoducks.

        Not a duck.

        Not a geodude.

        Basically a giant penis clam.

        … very gooey.

        The wonders of nature and lingusitics.

        Welp, I guess I should have expected a clam aficionado to appear.

        … it is midday though. Close enough.

        Yes, you’re right, its penises that look like clam siphons, not the other way around.
