In our efforts to appease the atomic octopus that lives beneath the Black Rock Desert, in hopes that it bestows great weather conditions at Burning Man 2026, we humbly offer this. An Octopus Of The Day, or Occo The Day. We think the more fun weird pictures we make, find, or post… the better the chances are for a great weather year.

That kind of challenge sounds like our kind of fun. We may not have a post every single day, but we’ll be thinking about it. We’ll share some of our favorites as often as we’re able to. Today’s Occo The Day entry comes from the back alley of another timeline – a back alley octopus playing a game of three card monty. We are intrigued by a lot of things. The humans its playing with look like they came from the late 19th century. The tattoos all seem strange and unusual, and suffer some basic spelling mistakes. The list goes on.
