Pocket Squid   (+6, -7)  [vote for, against]
A handy sized personal cephalopod

Handy as a hand cooler, for playing pocket billiards, and for surreptitious chromatophoric message transmission.

Sounds rather like the Prairie Squid so beloved of SubGenii around the world. I would include links but they are all quite quite filthy. Just do a Google search on prairie squid.

Ah, go on. I dare you.

1. how would you keep it alive? (assuming you wanted to, and if you didn't, you would be carrying a dead squid around) 2.what would be the point in having a squid in your pocket? (sorry if I missed it)

//1. how would you keep it alive?// Wet pockets.

...erm, wet pockets? Oh, and chromatophoric message transmission (of the phrase "Help, I'm trapped in a pocket!")

//having a squid in your pocket//

Spend it in the corner shop? As your bus fare?
