Which came first: the Sargasso or the Sea?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The question, to use a phrase Sargasso himself would happily take credit for if he could get away with it, is moot: indeed, as soon as the question was put to the great Hypnosticator, his answer came straight away: the Sargasso Sea must be restored to its rightful place as the oceanic home of the Hyooallergenic Insittute, the (planned, if not actually constructed) raft-borne &#8220;workhouse of the seas&#8221; in which the valuable salts and trace elements of Thalassa herself can be sieved and strained from the deeps, repurposed in the production of Sargasso&#8217;s Health-Giving Balms and Unguents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But how to ensure that this fertile &#8220;kelp-basket&#8221; is truly controlled, cradled, cosseted and coralled by the forces of Embrightenment?  A mighty mission of deliverance from &#8212; well, that part isn&#8217;t entirely clear but let it pass for now &#8212; from SOMEONE must be mounted.  A WAVE of LIBERATION will rise.  A writhing wave.  An unstoppable, slithery mass movement of the most noble and doughty creatures who have ere been called into service by human kind.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thanks to the discovery by an intern on a &#8220;tonic bender&#8221; of the specific frequency for Total Eel Energy Maximization or TEEM(TM), an array of &#8220;Ray Boats&#8221; (also known as the Ray Array or the Array Ray or, informally, as the Ar-Ay) scour the open waters, sending the TEEM beams into the deep on a powerful broadcast system cunningly devised from surplus football-shaped clock radios.  When these rays encounter an eel&#8217;s nervous system they instantly excite that eel&#8217;s &#8220;rage gland&#8221; and fill the creature with the lust for battle.  The creatures naturally link up their electrical brains to the broadcast system and begin secreting &#8220;battle goo,&#8221; a natural unguent that calls others of their kind into the war-swarm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thus, the ancient dream of mankind\u2014to control eels and make them into an unstoppable weapon of conquest\u2014has been achieved, not through foolish ritual but through the advances of Hypno-Science. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">COMING SOON:  The secrets of the Eel Armada!<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:20px; padding-top:10px;\" class=\"hupso-share-buttons\"><!-- Hupso Share Buttons - https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/ --><a class=\"hupso_pop\" href=\"https:\/\/www.hupso.com\/share\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/buttons\/button100x23.png\" style=\"border:0px; width:100; height: 23; \" alt=\"Share Button\" \/><\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\">var hupso_services=new Array(\"Twitter\",\"Facebook\",\"Linkedin\",\"StumbleUpon\",\"Reddit\",\"Print\");var hupso_icon_type = \"labels\";var hupso_background=\"#EAF4FF\";var hupso_border=\"#66CCFF\";var hupso_image_folder_url = \"\";var hupso_url=\"\";var hupso_title=\"Sargasso%27s%20Eel%20Armada\";<\/script><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/static.hupso.com\/share\/js\/share.js\"><\/script><!-- Hupso Share Buttons --><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Not long ago, when the Amazing Sargasso appeared on the Charming Disaster Quarantine Livestream, the Conduit of the Pre-Born was asked if his name was connected to that famed oceanic region the Sargasso Sea.
