Octopasta!

Because there are two things in this world I cannot resist.  One is octopus and the other is a decent portmanteau.

“Man was made for joy and woe.”

“Joy and woe are woven fine,
A clothing for the soul divine.
Under every grief and pine
Runs a joy with silken twine.
It is right it should be so;
Man was made for joy and woe;
And when this we rightly know,
Safely through the world we go.”

–William Blake, “Auguries of Innocence” (1863)
