going to disagree with your disagree. most wear zero gear and at most a leather jacket/gloves/helmet. maybe your definition of a 'squid' is different

Squids are called that because their riding looks like a school of startled immature squid

That's a backronym. In any case, look for the 'squid purity test', which has been online since at least the mid-90s. It has good examples of gear and behavior of the common squidus maximus.

Of course, HST's "sausage creature" is required reading for the genre.

Original version (c) 1993, by someone known to Tedder and I, actually, from the early age of the internet- Usenet news, wreck.moto, the DoD. AKA "the good old days".

I couldn't find the original date. Thanks!

(I only date back to 1994 on the internets)
