Colossal Squid

[Dad's Note: In this post, Bridger liveblogs a Discovery Channel documentary called "Colossal Squid."]

This one is for the giant squid.

I been watching this show about a giant squid. Oh, a giant squid came and striked and made these bubbles that said what the show is called, then you see it's eyes. Wow, they're in Antarctica? How can a squid survive when it's so freezing? They accidentally caught a colossal squid on that boat. I guess that's bigger than a giant squid.

Ok, now they just brought in the fish that the squid was eating. Blood all over the metal floor- they're going to have to get a new metal floor. They got this Doctor guy on here and they say he's a squidoholic. I'm a dinosaurholic and a squidoholic. Did you know that Squidward on SpongeBob isn't a squid at all? He's an octopus. I don't know why he's named Squidward.

Now they froze the squid and brought into a lab so they can cut it up. That colossal squid has a tiger claw in his suction cup that turns all the way around.

Oh, touch the tentacles- great idea. You know you're going to get your fingers stuck on those tentacles.

W0w, they only live for a year and a half. Small life.

This guy's been looking for a colossal squid for 20 years? That's a long time.

Now the scientist is showing us these gill things and saying that's not blood there because a squid's blood is actually blue. Cool.

Flashbacks

This one will be a quick one because it's bed time and I have school in the morning. What a great year this will be in school!

You know, I was eating chickies yesterday and they had an after taste that was very familiar to me. It reminded me of something I ate a long time ago. I remember lots of things from a long time ago, like when I poured blood and almost died.

I started remembering more about that the other day. I remembered what happened when I first started bleeding and Mumma was talking to the lawn guy. Then I don't really remember anything until I was in the helicopter and I was really worried that they would forget to shut the door. But luckily they remembered. They were poking me and poking me and then I was in the hospital. The only thing I can't remember right is when they gave me Tonsil the bear. It's like I remember two versions of what happened. I wish I could remember that part right.

[Dad's Note: 'Chickies' are chicken nuggets, the only form of meat the boy will touch. For newcomers to Bridger's blog who may be a bit confused about this 'pouring blood' experience, you can read the original post: 'I Almost Went to Jesus'.]

Happy 7th Birthday, Dinosaur Boy!

The Stone of Cold Fire: Another classic film review by the Dinosaur Boy

This one is for McCall. Coulter calls her Mister Call.

Today I watched a great Land Before Time. It's one of my favorites and it's called The Stone of Cold Fire. That's the one where Petrie's uncle, Pterano, comes to the Great Valley and does all kinds of bad things.

It's easy for somebody watching it to tell that Pterano is a bad guy, but it takes Petrie way long to figure that out. That's cause Pterano is his uncle, and it's hard to believe your own uncle would be a bad guy. Even Cera and Ducky already figured out that Pterano was bad.

But Petrie hears Ducky scream and Littlefoot tells Petrie that it's Pterano but he doesn't believe it, then Petrie flies up and says, "Let Ducky go!" Pterano says, "This isn't what it looks like." But Petrie found out that Pteran was trying to kidnap Ducky. So then Petrie found out that Pterano really wanted to take over the Great Valley.

But Ducky didn't die. She fell in this cave in some really freezing water and the others rescue her.

But the thing is, Pterano wasn't a good leader, because some of the pack believed him and he led them to the Mysterious Beyond and they all died from a thousand velociraptors. These were gray and black raptors. I've seen orange and red raptors in other Land Before Time movies.

Sunday Thoughts From Coulter

[Dad's Note: Tonight, Bridger's little brother, Coulter, takes over blogging responsibilities to relate a poem that he made up.]

Jesus ring-a my bell,
Jesus open my door,
Jesus come in my house,
Jesus say, "Shhhh...Be kiet."

Weston's Headphones and Plankton's Computer Wife

This one is for my toy crane I got from the D.I. It's awesome, but I can't find it.

Well, I did some scientific experiments today with Weston's headphones- thank goodness Ammon reminded me! And Dad even remembered to remind me. I totally didn't think he would remember, so I worried about it all night.

When I woke up I got those headphones and tried them out in Dadda's computer first. I heard Plankton's computer wife. Then I tried it out in Dadda's phone, but don't worry, I didn't touch any buttons or call 911 like Angel did a few days ago. I didn't hear anything in Dadda's phone, so I tried Mumma's. Nothing.

Then I tried our fly boat and it didn't really fit. So really the only experiment that worked was in Dadda's 'puter.

[Dad's Note: "Plankton's computer wife" refers to the Plankton character on SpongeBob SquarePants, who's wife is a talking computer. Bridger calls the voice on my AT&T voice simulation software "Plankton's computer wife." And what do you know, Plankton's computer wife just happened to be talking when Bridger came over with the headphones.]
