1. Hmm...

well I'd have to say that first one looks like a nondescript blob, the second one also looks like a nondescript blob, the third looks like... a little like a blob, and the fourth looks like another nondescript blob.

Not a frikkin' clue what the last one is though.

[JanMichael]

2. the last---the weird looking cord

is a conch egg shell casing.

[DarkTirade]

3. Nifty.

[Shakespeare]

6. COOL.

I was thinking coral, but never would've guessed conch egg casing!

[lost-in-nj]

8. COOL

Thanks!!!

it was empty
so I guess it hatched!!!!

[truedelphi]

30. Wow. How does one know that?

It's sort of pretty, too.

[Shakespeare]

4. The first one might be a sea cucumber....

And the last one some sort of coral, perhaps a tubeworm (not sure that's the correct name). That last one would make a neat addition to a shell collection!

[JanMichael]

7. I thought sea slugs too...

they are kind of weird looking--

Lots of slimy gooey little critters in the North Atlantic. These are NJ shots, right?

The last thing is cool but I have no idea what it is.

We have a time-share on Sanibel Island, and we see that crap on the beach every day. :hi:

No idea for what kind of critter, but thats what I was told as a kid vacationing in FL

24. Here are my guesses.

Picture # 1:
It looks like a dismembered tongue. I wonder who pissed who off that one of them cut the other one's tongue out? And how can I avoid pissing that person off?

Picture # 2:
It's the star of the movie, The Blob. I'm sure of it. See the resemblance? Could be a cousin, too, though.

Picture # 3:
Uh-ohhhh. Looks like the Tongue Taker struck again. Just a friendly reminder that it's not polite to stick your tongue out at "some people."

Picture # 4:
It looks like someone bought one of those "silly glob" toys out of a 50 cent machine and rolled it in dirt. You know the machines I am talking about; the ones where they sell bubble gum and other assorted junk I can't resist. You know the ones? You put your quarters in and twist the knobs and out comes this plastic ball with some assorted junk in it that you cannot wait to play with?

Picture # 5:
It's an origami Slinky...or evidence of an earlier attempt at inventing the Slinky that just didn't not work as intended. It looks like it would make for excellent party decorations though.

[lost-in-nj]

29. LOL!!

Good guesses!!!!!


but
I don't think so!!!!


lost

:hi:

[BreweryYardRat]

25. First one might be some form of sponge or sea squirt.

[lost-in-nj]

31. never heard of a sea squirt

I will have to look it up..

and I was wondering if some of these were of the sponge family


:hi:

[SPKrazy]

26. Remnants from the Island of Dr Moreau

:rofl:

I'd say that I bet people go around with rubber gloves and pick that stuff up and get rid of it so it doesn't gross people out, but you found some and took pics. I've seen that kind of stuff too once down in Florida. Didn't get any pics of it but dang, it looks like the same stuff. Ewwww :puke:

:scared:


:hi:


:hug:

[lost-in-nj]

32. you might be on to something

SPK!!!!

[SPKrazy]

33. Yeah, who knows

it might be the shrub family doing evil things too :P

:*

:hug:

[hippywife]

34. I'm just guessing here

but that fourth one looks like someone drank too much and hit the all night buffet. Ewwwwww!

Hope you had a good vacation! :hi:

[lost-in-nj]

36. Hmmm, I saw a gaggle of them at the gas station last night...

Cops later came up and took 'em away... bunch of greasy slugs...

:evilgrin:

[Duer 157099]

38. I'm just baffled that they were walking, I don't see feet or legs on any of them!

How bizarre

[cloudbase]

39. The last remnants of Jimmy Hoffa.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

40. Ohhhh... so THAT'S where I left those!!

I hope you kept 'em- do me a favor and put 'em aside for me...
