“Owww . . .rouunnnnd . . .groouuuund. Yes, I shall call it. . . . Gr”
“Mum! It followed us home, can we keeeeep it???”
“Striking a blow for whale privacy rights everywhere. . .”
The vuvuzela must have sounded like a whale mating call.
“Cruises, foiled again!” Yet another setback for Ahab Whale Watching.
After seeing these pics all I can say is … “whoa!”
I merged Gangster Octopus’ post into this thread.
Thanks, I didn’t see it before.
A local restaurant owner here in town was killed a few years back when this same thing happened. Very sad. But goddamned if that wasn’t the funniest local newscast ever:
somber looks all around, some close to tears
“We…we have very sad news to report tonight. Mr. Tibbs- of Mr. Tibbs’ Ribs fame- was killed by a whale today. . .”
I was doing my homework at the time. I looked up, made sure I heard right (they had a picture of a big scary looking whale on the screen) and proceeded to burst into tears because I was laughing so hard.
I’m going to hell.
Link. BBC sure likes to report on whale stories. . .
Do you think the maritime police gave a cetacean for that offense?
Their Director of News Operations isn’t Japanese by any chance?
I’ve decided that this is how I want to die. Gorgeous day, out sailing, not a care in the world. Hey, what’s blocking the su- AAAAAAH! splat
It’s over in a split second, and I get to leave a legacy of smiles and laughter. I just know at my funeral everyone will be saying “that’s exactly how phouka would have chosen to die.”
I mean, so long as the whale was okay and everything.
