The meg.
20 feet of anything is big. A 20-foot-long submarine sandwich, 20-foot-long dining room table, 20-foot-long beating stick, 20-foot-long pool table, 20-foot-long ancient Phoenician scroll detailing various taxes, 20-foot-long hopscotch court and what have you.
Big and impressive.
A 20-foot-long Great White Shark?
The stuff of nightmares but this is exactly what a small boat filled with Western Australian fisherman stumbled upon just days ago.
Lurking, menacing, showing off.
How did they react?
You can watch for yourself but here is also a helpful transcript.
Look at the size of him! (undecipherable) in the water!
Uh oh, don’t like the look of this. Go away, fuck ya.
Shit. Shit, shit, shit I’ve never seen one that fucken big.
That’s enough for me.
Fuck, me.
He’s just sitting down there, what the hell?
Yeah, as long as he stays down there. He’s scoping us, mate.
FUCK ME!
Holy shit. That is fucken huge.
HOLY SHIT!
I’ve now seen my first six meter white pointer.
Poetry.
Robert Frost could not have done it any better.

Cunt is an affectionate term in much of Aussieland. My auntie used to visit with gifts and say here you go you little cunts while she smiled and handed them out! She was a nice old cunt. G’Day cunt would be a greeting my family would say when they see each other and no way cunt or see the size of that cunt is what I would say about this shark. Maybe I am just a cunt but I am a ‘Queenslander Cunt!
is calling someone a “cunt” without any cunt adjectives just not an insult anymore?
One of the 3 guys sounded just like Jim Jefferies. But then I guess a third of all Aussies must sound like him
Who needs Megalodon? That shark is big enough!

The one mumbling Aussie dude is almost as indecipherable as Brad Pitt’s character in Snatch.
Incorrect usage of “beyond the pale.”
Thoreau was womb to the tomb Concord, Mass Yankee, while “beyond the pale” is a distinctly British idiom:
“From pale (“jurisdiction of an authority, territory under an authority’s jurisdiction”), suggesting that anything outside the authority’s jurisdiction was uncivilized. The phrase was in use by the mid-17th century, and may be a reference to the general sense of boundary, but is often understood to refer specifically to the English Pale in Ireland. In the nominally English territory of Ireland, only the Pale fell genuinely under the authority of English law, hence the terms within the pale and beyond the pale. The boundary of the Ashdown Forest (a royal hunting forest) was also known as the Pale, consisting of a paled fence and a ditch inside, to allow deer to jump in, but not back out.
Proper literary references are what distinguish us from wannabes like BaBi and other Mongol races.
Can we just get fucked with the shark stories now?
Like, I understand it gets you traffic, jukes the stats, and gives the impression that this is a wildly successful enterprise that you can punt to someone who doesn’t know better.
But I used to like it here.
Oh come now, Grumpy Gus. The commentary in the vid is art.

Fuck. Moi.

Derek- can you please turn the transcript of the audio into some twisted surf-sex story?
Imagine a twenty ft goose. It would honk the shit out of you.
Fucken WA softcocks. Didn’t call it a cunt, good/bad/big, once.
Doesn’t quite reach the level of our patron saint… https://uploads.disquscdn.c…

That shark should’ve bumped the boat for a little humour.
Hope they were wearing brown shorts.
They’re not ‘Reunion Island French’ though, so possibly not…
hahah…I saw the Bells clip early on the Victoria Surfers FB page before the story got out, and had no idea he was not a local.
I sent the clip to BG the day before it was posted on there and asked if I was a dickhead for shitting on the the guy shrieking like a girl.
Made sense when I found out where he was from.
I also commented on the guy who paddles out blowing them off as they tell him there is a shark.All balls
