Shark Week!

Posted by on July 31 at 14:13 PM

It’s my favorite time of the year (other than Christmas and National Threesome Week): it’s the Discovery Channel’s annual SHARK WEEK. That’s right, an entire week of shows dedicated to sharks ripping the asses out of any ass in sight. Tonight’s featured presentation is the world premiere of Shark Attack Survivors (Discovery, 9 pm) in which a bunch of sissies whine, “Oh, boo-hoo-hoo! I got attacked by a SHARK.”
Well, let me tell you people something… Sharks are nothing but a bunch of finned pussies. Check out this video of ME doing a little scuba diving off the coast, and my run-in with one of these so-called “predators of the deep.” That’s right, sharky! Run home and cry to mommy!

Dude that just plain rules. I wish I had cable. Can you post the highlights of shark week for me...PLEASE, please pretty please?

Oh BTW, Next time you scuba dive I would suggest not wearing a seal costume.

Boooring. When I was snorkeling in Fiji - not scuba, just snorkeling in a t-shirt, swim trunks, and fins/mask, I got chased into the coral of one of the minor island by a shark more than twice my length.

Might have been that mighty tasty crab I had for lunch ...

Remember, black is death when you talk about sharks - if you look like a seal, you are a seal.

Oh god... we've all been there, haven't we?

Nice posting since The Stranger has recently jumped the shark. Cigarette Ads, pro-Israel, pro-developer, and all your writers are often printed in mainstream commercial publications. The jigs up. Hope you made plenty of money.

really Will. You mean it's a bad idea to look like a seal while scuba diving or surfing. It's a good thing people with your vast and wordly knowledge check the SLOG. Do you know anything about driving drunk? I hear that's not such a good idea.

see, that's why I don't surf up here - too cold, have to wear a full suit, which makes you look too much like a seal, whereas in SBA you can surf in shorts (kind of cold, but ok to do) or wear a spring suit in winter.

now, the best surf is off of Vancouver Island, on the West Coast, but it's sooo cold - well - and you really need to go with some good friends.

uhhh.. Will? I was being sarcastic.

Dear Jump,

We've had cigarette ads for more than a decade, point to our pro-Israel content please, we're in-city pro-development because we're pro-density, and Stranger writers have been appearing in commercial publications since year one.

But thanks for keeping us honest.

Dan
