 :ohno:  I am terrified of sharks.  Like, when I'm in hawaii, and am swimming kinda far out, the instant I think shark I have to high tail it to shore.  I freak myself out really easy.

I just don't swim in the ocean.  Seems like kind of a waste of time.

Great whites near the nuclear tits?  That's no good.  I still don't know that I fully believe sharks really exist.

Again, seems pointless.  Hate that my wife makes me go anywhere near the water.  Would rather just :cool: on the beach.

True story: Mrs. ETP and I were snorkeling in Maui a couple months ago, and Mrs. ETP had a panic attack when we saw a huge turtle about 5 feet from us. I had to drag her ass back to the shore. :users:

That's awesome.  I'll be surfing in Malibu in October, hope I don't get  :chainsaw: by that shark.

ya, I think I'm taking surf lessons next spring.  They don't have great whites in Hawaii but do have Tiger Sharks that will eat your face off.

Those Great Whites were hanging out there looking for more dead whale carcass they hauled off the shore a few weeks earlier. Must be good stuff. :lick:

Sharks can operate chainsaws? Seems unlikely, I might have to snopes that.
