By now that first cold chill is creeping into your Medulla Oblongata and threatening to bloom into the rest of your brain. By now, you're attempting to stifle the instinctive urge to crawl into a hole and hide. By now your reaching for that razor blade, that full bottle of aspirin, that shotgun you though you'd only use for deer hunting. Or perhaps you're as insensetive as our jellyfish overlords who like puppetmasters are pulling the strings (tentacles?) behind every human government in a quest to transform the ocean into a vast jellyfish paradise, turn the land into one, too. Perhaps the truth that these immortal jellyfish have been controling us for at least the last 6 million years hasn't penetrated your skull even a little. If such as the case, then this post is not for you. Go back to watching the cable television graciously provided by our jellyfish overlords.
For those of you who are beginning to realize the truth, though, I urge you to put the razor blade down, drop the aspiring, place the shotgun back on the rack. Our oppresion will end. Some tentacles are greater than those of jellyfish. Cthulhu sleeps, and when his sleep ends, he shall save us from the jellyfish menace. Take cheer.

So you don't ascribe to the theory that jellyfish are the minions of Chthulhu Himself? I was looking forward to being gummed to death.

Most defenitely not. Jellyfish wish to mold us to their own ends which are not in our interests. Cthulhu, though, simply appreciates us for what we are: tasty bits of flesh and soul. Isn't that what we all really want out of existence, a little appreciation?

If such a polyp developed a taste for human blood, would that make it an Immortal Beloved Jellyfish?

No, it would just make it smart. Lots of humans around to snack on.

Novels to be written on the topic:
Twilight by the Sea: A tender romance about a sensitive girl who discovers she prefers her True Love to be spineless.
Interview With A Jellyfish: A rich, sensuous story in which the centuries old jellyfish describes his life as a polyp and tells how he became immortal. This creates a yearning in the interviewer to become immortal and tentacled too.
The Polyp Snatchers -- A creepy horror tale in which polyps discover they are being replaced by pods.

No, that'd be the immortal peanut butterfish.

No, no. That would be a thread about Elvis. It's the marriage of the peanut butterfish and the banana slug.

There's little worse than an attack by a sex-crazed jellyfish.
Here's a related story, clearly a Sign of something:

It's a matter of time before we see this thread as a title of an actual tree-killer books. First there was "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies", now "Sense and Sensibility and Sea Serpents" has been released. Can "Immortal, Beloved Jellyfish" be far behind?
