today.
For 38 years I've been coming to the Gulf Coast and I'd never seen one in the water til my brush with an attack this morning. I was watching some mullet jump around when I noticed him...about 10 - 15 in front of me. He slid by as smoothly and effortlessly as the shadow of a gliding bird...then he was gone.
He wasn't quite as big as the one in the picture...maybe 2 1/2 - 3 ft long, but menacing...very menacing.
It was a close one.
If only....
ReplyDeleteIf only you could figure out how to use the internets.
ReplyDeleteI suspect Anonymous may be the very great-white razor-tooth in question, in which case, I think you're being harsh ... can't be easy working the keyboard with fins for fingers ... fishy fingers.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shark alright.
ReplyDeleteThe only reason she's posting anonymously is because she can't figure out how to long onto blogger any more...and so my nephews continue to languish in internet obscurity.
Sadly...they have become the anonymous ones.
She wanted me to be eaten by a shark man...
Possibly, but "if only ..." lays the ground for multiple outcomes; for instance, you befriend the shark and go on to have a lengthly and successful career solving nautical based crimes.
ReplyDeleteThe TV series could be called " Hook, Line and Sinker" or "T.J. Hooker and E.F. Bartlam" ... I think they've already done "The Wire".
ReplyDeleteMan, there was a time, in my distant youth, when I would actually look forward to watching the bewigged and corseted Bill Shatner, running like a man in search of gastric band, in T.J. Hooker.

(I suspect the stunt double did most of the work in these opening titles.)
TJ Hooker was awesome.
ReplyDeleteWhile I am all over this...I want a different partner.
Butch Bartlam and the Surf Dance Kid?
ReplyDeleteThere's just something off-putting about the nickname Butch.
ReplyDeleteHaha - yes, now you mention it. Reminded me of David Cross' character in Arrested Development ...

Remember his business card?

Arrested Development is a masterclass in TV comedy writing & performance - there's has been nothing quite like it. I've watched it over and over again and still find jokes and allusions I missed.
ReplyDeleteOnly the last season when they started referencing the fact that they were in danger of being cancelled and the show almost become too self aware did it tail off...the English girl friend thing provided some isolated laughs but overall it was kind of a dud storyline.
ReplyDeleteStill we get it out every couple of years (like the first six episodes of Twin Peaks) and watch 'em on through.
