Due to some very un-Jawsome circumstances, the double-digit a day visitors of this site will find it void of new material for a while. Sharks don’t have internet access and neither do I.
Pre-Post Edit:
I may have access, but I’ll refuse it. I need to get away.
Thanks if you’ve been a repeat visitor. You may not have made me any sweet ad money, but you obviously have impeccable taste.
-Sharks Everywhere
Sharks don’t tweet. Shark lovers do.
What shark do these tweeps seem to favor over all others?
Whale Sharks.
In the past half hour there’s been between four (4) and three-hundred (300) tweets about Whale Sharks.
You’ll also see a legion of users in support of this Whale Shark Petition,
which merits its own post, but not right now. This blog isn’t quite ready to throw on some sandals and a Dead record.
The inspiration for this post comes from Leenygma who brought the following to my attention.
Jawsome.
The shark meat market. I know, I know–You’re tired of hearing about this on CNN and during Obama’s speeches. That doesn’t mean it wasn’t a problem.
Was?
So much remorse, that he then ate a chunk of the shark.
Always sad to see a friend go, but at least it was by a guy who looks like Nite Owl.
Polarizing.
You better swim with both eyes open, Mr. Clasen.
Published twenty-five years ago, there is so much to say about this historic and iconic novel. I, however, will let the author provide the insight in his own words.
It was a first novel. It was a first novel about a fish.
A battle between two scientists and the four young brothers caught in the cross-hairs.
When Dr. Paradigm was pissing away university dollars to play God, Dr. Bolton had to try and fuck things up. Citing moral and ethical beliefs; a strict code that apparently did not include “Respecting a neighbor’s property.” What’s the general course of action when a colleague attempts to destroy your life’s work?
If you said kidnap his sons, turn them into genetically modified man-sharks, blame their father, and paint them all as murderous bastards who we must extinguish; you’re probably up for tenure.
Sweet revenge
It means “big tooth” in Greek. Experts suggest this is because a megalodon’s tooth was longer than your dick.
For shame.
These same esteemed scientists say the megalodon is the largest shark to ever have lived, but can’t agree on its classification. Carcharodon megalodon? Great White ancestor or evolutionary failure?
Does the Great White eat whales? Was it wrecking marine life before dinosaurs decided to ruin everything?
Late to the party.
Those in the world of cryptozoology insist that megalodon is still around. Lurking in the 14% or so (rough estimate) of unexplored ocean water. Presumably conspiring with the Hydra and Sea Bigfoot.
Arguably their most ingenious and fruitful venture. The shark tooth necklace is extremely popular with a broad audience. Whether it be surfers, landlocked vacationers, alligator wrestlers or small-breasted women looking for validation.
It's like it's pointing.
September 3rd, 1978 marks the Shark’s biggest victory against old-timey stereotypes.
The end of ‘Jabberjaw.’
