Just a few battle scars on that fish. Pretty cool.

That is exactly what I was thinking. It would be very interesting to know the history of those scars…

Reminds me of an old caddyshack joke. A bird swoops down and gobbles down a worm whole. Soon the worm works its way to the bird’s ass. The worm looks out and sees they’re way up in the air. The worm looks over to the bird and yells “You wouldn’t shit me now would you?”

Dumb – to think that this could not possibly be CGI.

Question everything! you do not see in person. Hollywood was able to have Forrest Gump interact with LBJ many years ago.

If you want to go down that rabbit hole, can you prove you are not a simulation? Would a simulation be able to recognize it was one?

Svarga,

Ignore No Name he is an UTP (Unidentified Typing Poster)…but he has point that has nothing to do with us.

I looked into a mirror in the latter part of my 3rd year and realized the image I saw was created in the image of its Creator…it just took 43 years for the memory of that powerful supernatural sticky revelation to take hold…just saying.

Just for the record, I’ve accidentally forgotten to make sure that my user name is in the name box and posted as Anonymous, so it can happen to anyone on here, but sometimes you can tell by what they say. If I said something pretty dirty about one of you, you’d pretty easily figure out, I don’t want the roasting I’d get. But if it’s a lame or on topic statement, they probably just forgot.

“but he has point that has nothing to do with us” – WTF?

Agree 100% Svarga and YAJ, my first thought too. I think the scale has tipped. The days have arrived where the smart choice is to observe, doubt and wait first regarding everything media unprovable or waste precious life time being fools getting repeatedly tricked into discussing lots of illusion as if real.

Peter Benchley bifocals?

Marlin Perkins insurance policies?

Instead of the usual fearporn products, the gal appears to be selling nair to hairy narrators & “everybody knows collectivists” interested in sleeker truths.

Great white man (the other colors, too) is far greater blood-threat than sharks.

“You’re gonna need a bigger boat.”

Yes, let’s get us a uss indianapolis.

Did the sharks eat up as much as the sailors did? You gonna take Quint, the freak’s, word on that, too?

[Scene: Interior. A New York City apartment. There is a knock at the door.]

Woman: [speaking through closed door] Yes?
Voice: (mumbling) Mrs. Arlsburgerhhh?
Woman: Who?
Voice: (mumbling) Mrs. Johannesburrrr?
Woman: Who is it?
Voice: [pause] Flowers.
Woman: Flowers for whom?
Voice: [long pause] Plumber, ma’am.
Woman: I don’t need a plumber. You’re that clever shark, aren’t you?
Voice: [pause] Candygram.
Woman: Candygram, my foot! You get out of here before I call the police! You’re the shark, and you know it!
Voice: Wait. I-I’m only a dolphin, ma’am.
Woman: A dolphin? Well…okay. [opens door]

[Huge latex and foam-rubber shark head lunges through open door, chomps down on woman’s head, and drags her out of the apartment, as Jaws attack music plays.]

Brave or dumb?

Depends on how hungry the shark is.

Actually, since the diver has no way of knowing how hungry the shark is, …. just dumb. But lucky.

During my scuba years, I never saw such a docile shark. Even the nurse sharks would take off if you touched them.

Maybe they tranquilized it like they did the big Tiger Shark in Thunderball

Then, the largest shark ever recorded, saw an LGBT flag on the scuba gear and said:
“Hard pass. I’m on the Carnivore Diet. No fruit.”

Pretty sure I’ve seen this woman interviewed. & have read Nestor’s book about free diving (in which sharks come up – & another woman, who helped teach Nestor how-to, calmed him down about it – at least somewhat).

And I watched the Herzog docu about “timothy treadwell.”

Not the same sorts of people (leaving room for staging).

Not the same apex animals, either.

Bears do the hibernation hustle. Lean year, slim pickings? Clock’s ticking & if time’s about out, anything will be on the menu.

Sharks, bounty of the ocean, eat more regular. No hypoglycemia issues. (put toothy smiley here)

There are some spots where the migrators converge. Mutiny of the bounty slims the pickings. Surfers, swimmers, get hit more often in those zones.

Stay out of bad neighborhoods. Like Treadwell didn’t.

I was out on the Vessel – Norma -K III out of Manasquan NJ , blues fishing about 12 miles offshore , a big fat mean BLUE took my line down down , down, ….. as I reeled back all I could say was as the line was being stripped from my reel ….from the movie JAWS ………

” HE CAN’T STAY DOWN WITH THREE BARRELS IN ‘IM , NOT WITH THREE BARRELLS HE CAN’T ”

The fishermen all around the boat exploded with laughter, all knew the line, and yes I landed the Bluefish.
