Thanks for the funny posts you three guys. What kind of shark do you suppose that is that Toronja posted? Or is it some kind of fake pic?


Actually looked like a baby whale shark to me with the rounded hump behind the dorsal fin..... but I may be mistaken. I was once.... thought I wuz wrong... :bounce:

Still say it is a Land Shark. Looks just like Jane Curtin.

You guys crack me up. "I'm only a dolphin, ma'am!"

Good guess, seasider, that is one of my tiger friends. I worked/camped in the NW Hawaiian chain out towards Midway a few years back. We just tried not to splash too much while bathing. The angle of his back/fin looked a little funny I think because he was in too shallow and working not to get stuck in the wash.

They tend to run in the 8 to 12-ft range out there, but we had a few bigger. They come in to eat the fledging albatross chicks - you either learn to fly quick or you don't last long.

well, I know some SNL, but a man I am not! I don't run into too many other shark-loving lasses, though, so you get a pass on that one.

As a Veteran, I want to give thanks to this warning. We only had to deal with Bamboo Pit Vipers ("two-steppers") that make a Diamond Back look like a sharp-tooth puppy dawg, as well as Punji stakes, bouncing betty's, frags on trip-wires as well as 500 lb. bombs booby-trapped; AK 47's, Chi Com granades, 122mm rockets, RPGs, sappers, malaria, leeches, ambush ants and wait-a-minute vines, Elephant grass, 'skeeters, pizz-ants (the worst!) and house-flies. Did I mention Agent Orange and friendly fire? Not to mention buffalo-dung tasting water and powdered eggs when we were lucky. Oh, and a few thousand guys out to kill us, where the buzz-worm would rather just slither away...... I feel SO much safer now. Ahhhhh, memories, memories.......
:cool: bb

As a Vet and a friend of a Veterinarian


That explains a lot of your anger!

Don't forget the monsoons that when hit with the rain it actually hurt and was painful due to the force of the downpour.

Hopefully the Thai sticks helped out a bit.
