We don't know when we became obsessed with them, but it seems like we just loved them right from the womb. We love eating them, when they are deep-fried and chewy, or grilled on a bed of baby greens. We are glued to the tv when the Discovery Channel enlightens us for an hour every month or so with "The Search for the Giant Squid." And although we are disappointed that the hour always ends up in disappointment--no living man has ever seen a giant squid alive-- we are secretly cheering the ever-elusive giant. It has the makings of a horror movie; we can see a giant squid come out of the San Francisco Bay and eating everyone whole, cell phones and all. Maybe what we need is a giant squid to rid the world of the people who annoy us. Anyway, long before Stuff magazine jumped on the squid bandwagon, long before Homer Simpson showed us his squid keychain and hung out at the South Street Squidport, we've been telling the world how great squids are. We've even snuck into the Museum of Natural History to stand under their giant squid when the exhibit was closed (thanks, Chumley!).
