I don't.

:P

[sundog]

1. you're ganging up tex

go play with your add cat

[texas1928]

3. Yes they call me a gang of one.

:P

[Wapsie B]

2. I think it's cool that Maddy

and Sundog love shark week. But it just doesn't thrill me. Now if it were Mafia or organized crime week I'd be glued to the TV.

[tridim]

4. Mythbusters to the rescue!

They made shark week this year. BTW, did anyone see last week's Mythbusters? I thought it was one of the best ever.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

5. Shark week? Blaa!

How many years in a row have they had Shark Week?

I mean, is there that much to know about sharks?

Why not rabid dog week or cobra week or man-eating tiger week if you want to see animals that harm people?

[sundog]

6. blasphemer!

this is the 25th annual shark week!

:P

[Lydia Leftcoast]

12. Hmmph, so it's racking up a record almost as bad as

that other overhyped event, the Super Bowl. :duck:

[kevsand]

25. Actually, Shark Week is an ancient pagan ritual

that has its roots in festivals and celebrations that date back millions of years to the original mystery rites. You know, when they watched tv by the light of the campfire...

[sundog]

30. shark week was actually celebrated among the druids & south american

shamans... the two groups were first introduced by a band of spice smuggling pirates... during their travels, the pirates thought those two groups might get along, so they arranged a party in morocco...

BUT, one of the boats shipwrecked on the way to the meet-up on the straight of gibraltar... and all of the crew members on the vessel were eaten alive by sharks...

so when the other boats all finally got to the meet-up, they had a party anyway, but they did some shark spells & that was the beginning of shark week :P

7. Hey realistic dangers.

The deadly cat doing figure 8's between you legs as you go down the stairs. Now that is dangerous.

[Maddy McCall]

8. Hey, There was a shark attack LAST WEEK off the Texas Coast!

See? You should care! :P

[texas1928]

9. Yes we have so many shark attacks up in the panhandle of Texas.

:eyes:

:P

[sundog]

10. laugh now, get bit in half later

:P

[Lydia Leftcoast]

11. What would REALLY be funny...

would be someone who was afraid to swim in one of the Minneapolis lakes out of fear of sharks.

No person has ever been eaten or even bitten in half by a shark within the Minneapolis city limits. :P

[texas1928]

13. I have never heard of one at Lake Alan Henry.

I guess I should worry, since sundog is. :eyes:

:P

[Zuni]

15. it COULD happen

:P

[texas1928]

19. You need to share what you are smoking with the Lounge

Please.

[Zuni]

16. Maddy, your new avatar and sigline.....

:thumbsup:

you are my new hero :bounce:

[Bridget Burke]

23. Yup. A shark attacked a teenage girl near Galveston.

She was wading in waist deep water. I was always suspicious of what might be lurking in that brownish stuff. Sediment makes it brown--pollution just adds a tang of extra toxicity!

She almost lost her foot but the surgeons think she's going to be OK.

[Zuni]

14. Shark Week is a time when people from all walks of life get together

and be thankful that they haven't been mutilated by these creatures from the deep

:grouphug:

[sundog]

27. thank you for this... it is a time for family & friends & festive cheer...

a time for looking forward, thankfulness for the present, but also a solemn looking back

[texas1928]

28. Oh did you put up shark week decorations?

And a tree?

[sundog]

31. i put fish heads on my front door

[noonwitch]

17. I swim in Lake Michigan, so I don't worry too much about sharks

Lots of zebra mussels, however.

[6th Borough]

18. I'll give 2 yanks, in exchange for 2 Swedes.

Preferably female, thank you. :evilgrin:

[texas1928]

21. I will see your two Swedes and raise you

Three Norwegians.

:P

[6th Borough]

26. Fine with me...if you can pony up 4 Icelanders.

20. What the heck is shark week?

:shrug:

[texas1928]

22. The Discovery channel

Runs shows on sharks all week long.

[MissMillie]

24. Well, that could be informative... I guess

I don't know that I'd watch more than one or two shows though. I'm just not sure I feel the need to know a week's worth of shark facts.

29. I Care Because They're Including Mythbusters In It

Normally, i don't care. But, this time they've decided to use Jamie and Adam to test some of the long time shark myths. I watched one episode last night (i think there's supposed to be two). It was pretty cool, but i fell asleep before it was over. So, i have to review that one, as well.
