Ross, speaking of Mother F'ers, is there anyway you could add a ticker to the front page that could count down the days until Zilla's 40th birthday?

Happy father's day you uncle fuckers!
Shark story time. I was stand up paddle surfing with a couple of friends the other day. The water was glassy and clean with about 8 ft waves. We were surfing our brains out and I was ready to go in. As I was waiting for my last wave, I saw something big and brown swimming from left to right about 15 ft in front of me. My first though was a turtle because you I see so many in the ocean. Then I realized it was much bigger and longer and was gliding fairly smoothly through the water. My next thought was Hawaiian Monk Seal because I saw a big one the other day. As I watched more closely it turned out to be a shark. It wasn't too big - about 8 ft, so I wasn't quite shitting myself. However, it turned and made a beeline straight for me. I was like, "fuck! this fuckers going to attack me?" So I decided to turn towards it and make my own charge directly at it to trick it into thinking it was prey and not me. Right about that time a wave started to jack up so I thought, "fuck it, I'm out" and I spun around and caught the wave - the whole time thinking, "please don't fall". I surfed passed my friend who saw the whole thing and later told me the shark was in the wave about a foot from my board when I made the drop down the face. Crazy.

Bone, that is some crazy shit! I would have freaked and surely been eaten!
What beach was this at? I am not in the mood to frolick with sharks while in Hawaii....

Sounds like you were thinking of going "Lara Croft" on that shark. Was the plan to see if sharks really do roar when you punch them in the face?

Jesus frackin' Christ, Bone, that story scares the shit out of me and I'm 5,000 miles removed from it! Seriously, though, does a shark ever think "it was prey and not me"? Isn't it pretty much the top of the food chain out there? Unless it thought you were a bigger shark...

Thank you Swerb! Bone, I wish you would have told that story after I got back from Hawaii and not the day before I left. Now I am going to be paranoid when I am snorkeling.
I lack the balls necessary to fight off a shark. Sharks and snakes are two things I would rather avoid in life...

I heard once from some Hawaiian that if you try to swim away from the shark you are doing what prey does and it'll go after you. If you swim towards it and eyeball the fucker, it's not sure wtf you are and will hesitate to attack because it's dumb ass instinct tell it you may be something that could fuck it up. So that's what I try to do in these types of situations.
Don't worry Bunky, there's no sharks in my bed. Just the full treatment.

I don't care what anyone says, if I saw a shark up close, I would completely freak out.
It is nice to know, however, there is a safe, shark free place if I get scared in the water.....
Any recomendations for dinner in Waikiki?

Michele's at the Colony Surf. Good stuff. Shall I make reservations for two?

Plus, Bone surfs with brown-colored shorts so sharks don't see him shitting himself.

Creeko, this could be bad for two reasons. One, snakes are one of the few things that I am wary of, and two, I have read that snakes are a threat to species on the islands and you should kill one if you run into it. On a random note, United Airlines sucks ass. The have f'd up my last 3 flights to Hawaii.

So I am a long time listener, but first time caller and what i've noticed is you guys are a little bit perverted. Is this an ongoing thing or have I just read the wrong entries?
|
|

Or should I say the right entries.......

Bunky, you going to be with the fam? That might put a damper on festivities.
|

Yeah. Since it is my husband's birthday tomorrow, I thought it was best to bring him. I am sure with a little benadryl, he will fall asleep early!

He's sleeping now Bone... Jack, it is raining out tonight so the Rookies shirt cannot be photgraphed at any landmarks...Due to recent questionable activity by a certain MF'er, it can only be worn in a dry climate.

So, I take it the wet t-shirt contest is a no go then?

Monkey likes to wear my shirt. I can ask him....

Fatty, do you need any updated photos for your money clip while I am here?

Bone, had it been a great white shark would you still swim towards it and punch it in the nose?
|

Aparently punching a shark is the recommended tactic if ever being atacked by one.
|

Is that a euphemism Creeko? Do you tickle the fins when "punching the shark"?

I'd swim slowly towards it if it were coming directly at me. Great Whites don't like to attack you if you maintain eye contact.

Your fear of sharks seems to have waned over the years, Bone.

If I ever find myself in a situation where information like this becomes useful: I've clearly fucked up.

I think this technique works for fending off assholes as well.

I just read a story about a 70s era big wave surfer who was diving for black coral off Maui and came up a half mile from his boat. The current picked up and he was swept out to sea. He ended up swimming 13 miles to Molokai, all the while punching and screaming at the sharks that were surrounding him. Clearly he fucked up.

Don't get me wrong, I'd still be scared shitless but it wouldn't paralyze me and prevent me from acting appropriately.
