civilized ku # 2438-43 ~ chrysaora fuscescens

Jellyfish / Pacific sea nettle ~ Aquarium / Camden, NJ • click to embiggenJellyfish / Pacific sea nettle ~ Aquarium / Camden, NJ • click to embiggenDuring the Holidays, when Hugo and I were purchasing tickets for the aquarium in Camden, NJ, there were a couple cost-extra options. The one option we purchased was for the 4D movie. The one option not listed, which I most definitely would have purchased, should have been for a hit of a psychedelic psychoactive drug of one form or another, which could have been called the Chrysaora Fuscescens Experience Ticket to Ride.

That written, just standing in front of the chrysaora fuscescens tank and watching these specimens glide about - slowly and quite gracefully - was quite a mind-warping trip in and of itself - even without a little helper like, say, psilocybin mushrooms (mother nature's idea of what a psychedelic compound should be).

Next time I'm in that neighborhood, I'm confiscating Hugo's iPod, downloading some Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, Jefferson Airplane, and Grateful Dead tunes, putting on some headphones, and then stand in front of the chrysaora fuscescens tank feeling like I'm ten feet tall (just ask Alice, she knows what I mean).

Maybe the Who?

Don't get fooled again
No, no! "

Way too funny a post!!

Frankly The Who don't fit the psychedelia theme so much.
