I'll give Jon the benefit of the doubt by saying he's just seconding my own
guess, since he did not post any website.

In retrospect, I see that the subject of Jon's post is apparently an email
address -- this is probably not a good idea, because that email address is
now posted for all eternity on Google Groups (on the other hand, no one
would be looking to mine email addresses from headers).

I realize that this sounds like weird advice coming from me, but I'm too
da**ed stubborn to think up a cutesy screen name after all these years.
I've thought about it once in a while, but resisted because I feel that if I
have to change my screen name, it means the ba**ards won. (Uh oh, I think
I'm channeling Jimmy Stewart -- time to go.)

In any event, here's my re-post:

I'll vote for Bryozoans, based on this website:

Since it is local to me, I thought I would give a "BLOB" update.
The state of NJ experts decided to cut it up and disperse it. In the
same breath they said they still don't know what it was.
I seem to remember somebody cutting up starfish to get rid of
them.(each arm grew a new body)
Don't these experts ever learn???????

Sorry if this double posted.

Here at the Jersey shore the politicians are trying to figure a
way to put a tax on it or raise the Egg Harbor toll on the Atlantic
City Expressway for people coming to see the blob. My theory is that
it is the remains of Jimmy Hoffa relocated from Giant Stadium. Or

one
of the new casinos cross-connected their sanitary sewer to the storm
drain.

Oh man, that was one of the biggest farces I have ever seen. Just imagine a
25 pound chunk of rotting whale blubber falling on your car. Whoever hatched
that scheme should have been made to clean up the mess.

Nobody would have thought of anything butt pond bottoms if you hadn't hinted
at the "other" bottom. At least I don't think so. I could be wrong. ;-)

wants it.
