It's a really bad*** jellyfish. Here it is in its natural state.
The give a nasty sting.
Though there was a purple flag out today, warning of man of war in the water, and my girls and I didn't see, nor get stung, by any. What a beatiful day to be in the ocean.

Wah
Sharks,gators, and jellyfish. Plus the chance of a hurricane dumping one or all in your front yard. What a wonderful state you live in.

Mythbusters said you can use vodka and it gets rid of the pain/barbs. One of them rubbed one on themselves and compared to the over the counter stuff and it worked the same. Granted they didn't try it with one of those jellies you described above, still seemed to work though.

I've also heard you can piss on the sting to relieve he pain. I'm sorry--- I will take cold weather, mosquitos for a couple of months and a few more inconveniences over what you have. To each his own. Sorry Jack-- I was aiming this ont toward steve

Wah
Word is you get stung by one of those you`ll piss yourself anyway. Might as well make it count.

Hmmm, all of the above or Illinois? Hard choice............NOT!Sharks,gators, and jellyfish. Plus the chance of a hurricane dumping one or all in your front yard. What a wonderful state you live in.
Yeah, I'm not sure I want to be carrying a bottle of vodka around with me on the beach.

Honestly that was my first guess, but I never have seen that blue tone.
I was raised on the Gulf Coast and have had the bad fortune to have had many encounters.
The tentacles can be 10 to 15ft long and they sting/burn like hell.
I never had a qualm when I use to burst their bubble.

My wife upgraded to an iphone, so I took her old phone with its 3.0 megapixel camera to replace the POS I have had for years.
The spot where I am parked is at 1600 feet and you can see in all directions. This pic is facing north, and in the background is Mt St. Helens. From this point I can see Mt Hood and Mt Jefferson in the Oregon Cascades, and Mt Adams, Mt Ranier and Mt St Helens in Washington. On a clear day with binoculars, you can even see the tip of mt Baker in British Columbia.

Here is another great view looking south, about 1400 feet above the Willamette Valley. From this point I can see Mt Hood, Mt Jefferson, and one of the Three Sisters mountains to the east, as well as the Coast Range to the west. The city of Salem, OR is barely visible about 40 miles south on the horizon. The spot where I am parked is a popular launching point for the local hang-glider and para-glider enthusiasts; when wind conditions are favorable there might be half a dozen of them waiting to quite literally jump off of the edge of the cliff. Sometimes I will park here during my lunch or break just to watch, or to meditate and enjoy the view.

Looking due east over the Willamette Valley. In the distance is Mt Hood. My new 3.0 megapixel cellphone camera is waaay better than the crummy one (.07 mpx) I had before, but it still cannot do justice to the view. Someday I may have to break down and get an iphone like my wife has.
