No one tells you that male rats and mice find certain substrates very erotic. Like a mesh floor, or warm plexiglas. They will rub, groom, and nibble until they ejaculate while you are habituating and testing them, with certain drugs increasing the frequency of these events (morphine for example). So every once in a while I go 'I'm scrubbing rat cum off the mesh floor for money, again'.
That makes a weird kind of sense. It was moreso the sixteen minutes that threw me, all I could picture was two of them having a staring contest for 16 minutes and then suddenly sperm and eggs everywhere.
Here I was, trying to contribute to science and, it's all "indecent exposure", and "this is a public pool, there's no cuttlefish for you to impregnate". Sheesh.
I had the opportunity to see them in 2002 but didn't go. One of the biggest regrets of my life. Seeing them today would still be awesome but I don't think it could compete with watching Oderus as the singer.
I'm super sorry to hear that because you're absolutely correct. Dave Brockie was an underrated genius. I'd still recommend seeing them if you get the chance.

That is either a very strange mating ritual, or that cuttlefish is a narcissist.

Cuttlefish encounter other cuttlefish so rarely, it's always a good idea to squeeze one out just in case it happens to be a female.

GWAR is life. Or death...
Might I recommend for yourself or anyone wishing to get a flavour of this most fabulous musical quartet:
My favourite of their songs The Road Behind
The classic Sick of You
Their cover of Wayward Son
Or this interview with Joan Rivers where Oderus talks about an incident which involved the aforementioned Cuttlefish.

Does that mean it's going to die now, or does that not happen in cuttlefish?
