    A whale will swim 100 miles for a good tickle. Fact.

    Ah, ’tis the Prince of Whales.

    A whale of a tale, no doubt.

    Welcome to the Ocean planet! Our planetary Hat is Polynesia! Dress accordingly.

    Cachalot! Cachalot! Cachalot! It’s only a model.

  5. Tor Mented Says:

    Are those exposed brains ripe for tagging? Or just funny hats?

  6. Tor Mented Says:

    A law was made a distant moon ago here:
    The women must wear skirts and all be hot.
    And there’s a legal limit to the catch here
    In Cachalot.
    Cachalot! Cachalot!
    I know it sounds a bit bizarre …
    Especially if it’s pronounced Cah-SHAH-low, in which case I’m screwed.

    Sneak peak of the Olympic closing ceremony. Spoiler alert: things do not go well for the whale.

    @FB: It’s nice to see women getting to compete with men, even if they have to settle for silver and bronze.

    I love these direct to VHS sequels! Free Willy in space!

    “Cachalot!”

    “Gesundheit!” *hands over handkerchief*

    Whale: “Who wantsa “free willy”?

    Give Maroto credit for not conveniently obscuring the feet in some cheesy green fog or ocean spray.

    On second thoughts, let’s not go to Cachalot – it is a silly place…

    @Tor: GSS!

  16. Bruce A Munro Says:

    A grittier cover, with a blurb suggesting dangerous mystery: https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1266639181i/939565._UY630_SR1200,630_.jpg

    (Did the butler do it? Or the whale?)

    “I thought I asked you guys to feed that parking meter while I had lunch. I was just issued another cetacean citation. Thanks a lot!”

  18. drlemaster Says:

    If the book’s title is another word for sperm whale, why is the whale on the cover some type of baleen whale?

  19. Tracy Says:

    I like the idea of the future SeaWorld whale trainers wearing Roman toga-like outfits.

  20. Emster Says:

    Giant jumping whale, kooky costumes and a cover artist who can actually draw feet distracted y’all from noticing that outta place font that is more likely to be seen in a never ending Scholastic unicorn series…
