Watch: Whale attempts to swallow two kayakers whole in what experts are calling “A Divine Comedy!”

"I'm thinking, 'I'm dead. I'm dead.'"

But are all of your nerves completely frayed after last night’s election results marathon that will likely stretch out for weeks and weeks and weeks? Republican signature experts and Democrat signature experts sitting side by side in fluorescent rooms surrounded by Republican lawyers and Democrat lawyers presided over by many judges.

Not exciting at all but we can always count on nature to deliver and in Avila Beach, yesterday, very near Pismo on California’s central coast a sperm whale tried to swallow two whale watchers whole in what must be called a Divine Comedy but lets not tarry. Let’s hear directly from the actresses, Julie McSorley and Liz Cottriel, in this wonderful Biblical tableau.

McSorley told the local news affiliate, “I saw the big pool of fish, the big bait ball come up out of the water I saw the whale come up. I thought, ‘Oh, no! It’s too close.’ All of a sudden, I lifted up, and I was in the water.”

“The whale was right here in my face, literally,” added Cottriel. “I’m thinking to myself, ‘I’m gonna push. Like, I’m gonna push a whale out of the way! It was the weirdest thought. I’m thinking, ‘I’m dead. I’m dead.’ I thought it was gonna land on me. Next thing I know, I’m underwater.”

But the whale was just playin’ and both of them emerged unscathed with a wonderful story to tell their grandchildren.

Back to the election, though, did I downplay the thrill of watching signature experts, lawyers and judges dance a glorious tango? Will the next weeks and weeks and weeks be even better than competitive professional surfing?

Much to discuss.

For weeks.

Really enjoyed seeing Tim Bonython upset by this on IG. Chas, the premium agitator.

The mess starts with 50 states making up their own rules for how elections run, settles in to shit fuckery with tampering with voting systems on a systemic level to prevent eligible voters exercising their rights, and finishes strongly with the electoral college which declares proudly: “Some votes are worth 3 times more than others!”

I can’t think of any country where the faith in ‘democracy’ is so diametrically removed from the reality.

Julie and Liz look like VAL’s. If they don’t surf they should start.

f u

And taco poke is food

Barrelled

Not really, unless you put and in the middle and use are instead of is.

James Bickerton

Taco poke is / are food for thought ?

Chief Hot stuff

He’s so not sexy

Party Pete

Prince is the sexiest man to ever live, I think.

Chief Hot stuff

Nothing shocks me with you anymore

JohnsKnees

Is it because you are too worried that everything you’ve been told might be a lie?

Chief Hot stuff

Huge win in the senate!!
Thatll stop all sorts of Dem dirty trucks

Barrelled

Well, I’m that way sometimes. But in this case I wasn’t referring to you. Better than calling you a moron though.

Chief Hot stuff

Maybe youre just like my mother
She’s never satisfied

bruddah

Interesting… Thanks Way Outthere!

Chief Hot stuff

Exactly
Thank god the workers saw thru those Dem lies.

JohnsKnees

While its fun to watch him gag, its not fun to have that sort of lie be spread any further. Especially when others want to look into it.

JohnsKnees

Its a complete lie, there was an error on a polling site and was corrected immediately. You can read more about all of the claims here: https://www.politifact.com/…

JohnsKnees

I’m sure you have never used the term “Sleepy Joe” I’m just sure of it.

Barrelled

That scrutiny just needs to be applied equally, whether the votes are for Trump or Biden. That doesn’t seem to be what Trump is going for.

James Bickerton

Thanks LGR for ringing my Taco Bell and increasing my knowledge of Hawaiian slang . Though we are an Island , as far as I know , no one is trying to poke squid ,or Octopus for that matter , most of the time we are just trying to get a root and not very successful at that as a nation are we either .

Billy Hunt

I’ll listen to it later

Barrelled

Do you respect all of them or just the ones from the party you prefer?

Party Pete

You already had your mind made up. I wouldn’t call you names anyway, I’m actually very fond of you.

If you are referring to Dump, I personally don’t like liars and I am just getting one back for all the decent people he’s made crude nicknames for while in the top job. Do unto others, you know, I’ve got a few more:

Donald Dump
Klan Chowder
Turd Reich
Spoiled Mayonnaise Sculpture
Public Access Caligula
Chicken Littlehands
Full Diaper
Macauley Sulkin
Daddy Nobucks
Kremlin Debt
White Pride Piper
Nocabulary
Community Theatre Strongman
Flim Flam Prez
Reality TV Prez
Fake Businessman

Chief Hot stuff

How about me?
Fond or foe

Barrelled

You are clearly fond of being a foe.

Chief Hot stuff

I prefer fondling

Party Pete

That is a tough one. It can’t be foe because I hold no ill will toward you. I must say you do bring the worst out in me sometimes. I also wonder if you are just taking the piss out of this whole conversation at times.

Chief Hot stuff

I think Trump should declare martial law and roll out the troops, personally.
But he’s too nice a guy, unlike myself.

Party Pete

SportsBet has started paying out on Biden, SOUND ON:

Chief Hot stuff

I won $300!!

Chief Hot stuff

I’m having Comedy company flashbacks
Coupla days!!

Party Pete

Roola, Soola, Doola and Agape.

Lemon Next to the Pie

Will the next few weeks and weeks counting ballots be more exciting than competitive surfing? Probably not.
But there’s slightly more at stake than our qualitative watery squabbles.

Chief Hot stuff

Is there, really?
Are you saying there’s a good guy?

Party Pete

Well I guess, punching and kicking downward at people in less priviliged positions is never a good look so I guess we can agree on Dump being the bad guy.

Chief Hot stuff

He got the workers vote tho
And not the privelegd. .
Quite the conundrum.

Party Pete

Voters gonna vote. I’m just talking about him:

piss brohoff

he got plenty of the privileged, too.

James Bickerton

The Squabbling over Subjective Surfing Decisions is only a heart beat away ….. From what I’ve heard , from reliable sources , the CT starts in December and it’s non stop for 4 months ….
