Haven't we learned?
The world has gone entirely topsy-turvy, I don’t need to tell you, as the once proud human race is, today, cowering indoors, hiding behind masks, lathering hand sanitizer on packages thrown from unmarked Amazon trucks, terrified of an itty-bitty little virus that traveled from China via commercial airliners and cruise ships.
Who would have ever believed?
All the madness, trouble, is yet another reminder that inter-species relationships of a sensual nature are problematic and should be routinely avoided.
Just imagine if that sexually adventurous libertine in Wuhan had decided not to kiss a bat. Just imagine how much wealth would still be in your retirement account.
Well, it appears that the desire for “variety” is not exclusively ours as a massive two-plus ton Great White shark was just discovered off the coast of Japan choked to death by a sea turtle in what can only be described as a “troublingly kinky” exchange.
The dangers of erotic asphyxiation are well-known but all too often ignored and let us turn to the Orlando Sentinel, hometown paper of a profligate town, for yet another lesson.
Perhaps the great white shark bit off more than it could chew. It’s not known why a 4,500-pound great white died, but when it was found, there was a massive sea turtle stuck in its mouth.
A Facebook post from an account by the name of Greg Vella to the Commercial Salmon, Albacore and & Crab Fishers group showed images of the great white that Vella said was found dead tangled in some netting while fishing off the shores of Japan.
“I was out commercial ‘ken ken’ style fishing for tuna (Japan, Pacific Ocean side) when I heard chatter on the radio that there was a white shark swimming around with a big sea turtle in is mouth,” reads the post. “People started to joke about it, so I did not pay it any more attention. Then next day, it was found dead, near the bait receivers, tangled in some netting.”
The images show the shark laid out on the docks next to local boats, but do not identify how long the shark was. The sea turtle seems to be half digested.
Worrisome what the two could have been getting up to as “half digested” deviancy is something I have never personally encountered.

I once fornicated with a beautiful African girl…and discovered the saying “once you go black, you’ll never go back”…to be true
I would imagine that shark has had a similar experience with a well known adage of the underwater realm
” Never try turtle, it’s too much of a hurdle”
Was she as big as they say they are?
But I heard the saying a little different-
“Once you go black….
You a single mother!”
The shark heard about shark fin soup and saw a a bowl of meat floating past. That was the motivation.
Oh the joie de vivre is palpable before they met such a grisly yet poetic end in death loves final embrace.
A California Geat White for sure – binge and purge (even in Covid days) is running true to form.
Power down a huge meal, feel the guilt of Body Dysmorphic Disorder and toss your cookies…or die trying.
Like, for sure a VALley Shark!

Panic buyer, or just eating emotionally due to the stress?
Human pride is still intact, and always has been. It resides in individuals, not the sheepish masses, the likes of which are cowering in their pens, saying “Bah, bah, bah” (translation: “thank you for the direction, Master”), afraid of life. Tomorrow I’ll proudly defy the beach closures and surf. More as the story develops.
Derek “Kinky Tits” Rielly…. that (plus this part) is the whole comment.
Put him in a room with Strider and ooweee, or should I say oootitsmcweeeeeee!
