[OT] It's only a dolphin

[Tewligan]

*raises hand* Well...um...first thing you should always do is look at the tail. I wouldn't crap my pants. I like dolphins.

I, on the other hand, WOULD crap my pants just so the dolphin would leave me alone. If I'm out there to surf, I don't need one of those chatty damn dolphins swimming up to click and whistle at me. If I have to soil myself so that the dolphin leaves in disgust, so be it.

It's just a dolphin-the clowns of the sea....

But that is until King Snorky united them in a bloodthirsty coupe of the human race. And forced us back to the sea....

You gotta hand to them, they just wanted it more....

I dunno....dolphins have a dark side. Those sexually excited male dolphins that you have to pleasure, or they'll kill you, kind of things?

Also reminds me of the Onion article where dolphins grew opposable thumbs, and the scientists shat themselves and offered their services to the dolphin overlords.

Dolphins are taking over the sea... I mean, look at the sharks off the coast of So Cal! They were so afraid of the dolphins they had to swim up really close to the surf!

Well at least they have a porpoise in life.

Last summer I was down at the NC coast and decided to take out the sea kayak early one morning when the wind was low and the sea was particularly flat. I spotted a shrimp boat about a quarter mile out and in the wake was a pod of porpoises. I paddled out there.

I got right up in the middle of the group and was paddling along thinking, "This is awesome!!" Then, as one of the 12 foot long creatures lazily surfaced and dived again within 4 feet of my little plastic boat, I thought, "These wild animals could kill me with less effort than it takes me to get off the couch and go grab a beer from the fridge."

I kept paddling with them for about 5 more minutes before heading back in with a nifty story to tell my wife and friends over breakfast.

My point? I don't know. I guess it's that wild animals are wild and just because they don't usually choose to kill us when they have the opportunity doesn't mean that they can't do it with casual ease.

Heh, that comment reminds me of this touching moment from my campaign.

...or, could it be the dreaded shark sorcerer casting alter self to trick you land-dwelling fools???

Fantastic use of subtlety! Amazing relation to the topic!

Jester... I give you a 9.5 out of 10 on the "How well did you pimp your story hour" test!

I was boogey boarding on a S. Cal beach (can't remember which one at the moment) and about ten feet away from me, tucked into the side of one of the swells I saw a large, dark, shiny body with a fin break the surface. Well, I just about did crap my pants. Got back to shore as quick as I could and although I don't really know what it was I'm a little bit scared to go far out in the water now.

Damn you Steven Spielberg. You ruined the ocean for an entire generation of kids. Damn you!
