uh, p****, as in full of puss.... you california gals is weird...

Used to see those all the time when we dove gas to a million feet in a hat made out of a welding lens and a mop-bucket, ballasted with greasy chain. You know the days when the pipe was whittled out of wood and the jetsled was powered with oxen.

The "sea pig" is the common name (i.e. non-scientific name) for a species of sea cuc**ber (in the class Holothuroidea) that lives in the deepest abyssal depths of the world's oceans.

They are often characterized by having these little legs that come off the bottom surface such as what you see here (legs on side, mouth pointing outwards)


Like a lot of other deep-sea sea cuc**bers, Sea pigs are what's called deposit or detrital feeders. That is, they feed on the fine nutritious sc** and goo that falls to the bottom of the seafloor from the top of the ocean. They feed on them with the ring of tentacles that surrounds the mouth.

P.S. - As for your "p****" and infected hand, it sounds like you may have had a Vibrio infection going on there hammer.

I had stuck myself on what I thought was a urchin spine one day, got all p**** and infected, not quite a carbuncle, but more intense than a staph or MRSA in pain intensity. If I wasn't such a bad-ass, tough as nails, deep see effen diver, I may have even given it a second glance, but our occupation requires a stoic silence. Like a week later I popped the boil. something similar to the above picture erupted from my hand and jumped into the briney sea, only pausing to grab a red-hat and the o-ring for the flange up we where doing, and somehow flip us all off, with no hands before disappearing overboard.

I later remembered that I imagined the wh*** thing, but still...
Probably one of those critters live on bottom eating all the sunk carca****...
so, what do they taste like?
