Popular Post AV. Posted October 31, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 31, 2022 ....for Halloween, that is. I figure, I've had these allegations thrown against me for some time, so why not incorporate that into a Halloween getup? No pics (that's premium content), but imagine something like this, with a funky coloured wig. So, CDC, what's your costume for today? Or, if you're not dressing up, tell me about your favourite/creative costumes. Somebody I knew once had a bag of lemons and a sign on their shirt that said "Life". Thought that was a pretty neat as it was a good mix of creative and low-effort. 3 5 Link to comment
Baer. Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) Some people only read the title, or the first line in a thread. People should really read the entire post. Good thread, haha. Furthermore... Lumpsuckers are named appropriately enough; their portly bodies are nearly spherical with generally drab coloration and lithic patterns. The "sucker" part refers to the fish's modified pelvic fins, which have evolved into adhesive discs (located ventrally, behind the pectoral fins); the fish use these discs to adhere to the substrate. Many species have bony, wart-like tubercles adorning the head and body; these are important taxonomic features of the family. The simple, rounded fins are small with the exception of the broad, fan-like pectorals, which actually extend ventrally. The first of the two dorsal fins is spinous, with 4-8 spines; in some species, this fin is completely overgrown with skin and therefore not visible. While the lateral line in lumpsuckers is otherwise reduced or absent, it is well developed in the head; some species even have tubular, whisker-like external projections of the opercular canal, which is a part of the cranial lateral line system.

Nice! So, I take it you're a fish for Halloween? Can't say I've seen that before (beyond maybe young children dressing up as Nemo or Dory or something), but I definitely think that's creative and high-effort! Link to comment
King Heffy Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 Not bothering today, but favorite was definitely a kissing booth. 1 Link to comment
Coconuts Posted October 31, 2022 Share Posted October 31, 2022 No time for Halloween celebrations, I'm buried in school work and I'm only posting to procrastinate.. I saw someone dressed up as Nardwuar though, that was pretty cool. 2 Link to comment
