Greatest Generation Ever strength.
To have been bitten by a shark, whilst surfing, is a great badge of courage and to remain calm, un-worried, paddle self to beach and remain tear-free even when mother approaches is near Greatest Generation Ever poise but that was Doyle Nielsen who was bitten while surfing at Ponce Inlet in Florida.
The Latter-day Saints organ, Deseret News, recently caught up with the sixteen-year-old Mormon, who hails from Georgia, to both hear is story and see what life is like after bite.
According to Nielsen, he felt the bite though didn’t have time to be scared and calmly paddled to shore where a lifeguard bandaged him up.
His mother happened to be down the beach taking photos of brother Logan but came back when she saw a crowd surrounding Doyle. He calmly informed her that he had been attacked by a shark though, at first, she could not believe him. True enough, though, as evidenced by a “big gash” that needed stitches.
The nasty encounter was captured on film.
Extremely chill.
But what is like after bite? According to Mrs. Nielsen, “He’s doing great. (The wound) is pretty much just a big, yucky scab now. The first couple of days he was in pain, and that wasn’t very much fun. But now he’s having fun. It’s like he’s getting his fun reward.”
Yes, a great badge of courage award.

That was a crazy video. The ocean seemed like it was teeming with sharks. And even more shocking, the waves looked pretty fun.

THE HOOK OF MORMON
“In Mormonism, the oath of vengeance (or law of vengeance) was part of the endowment ritual of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). Participants swore an oath to pray for God to avenge the blood of prophets Joseph Smith and Hyrum Smith, who were assassinated in 1844.”

Jeez that last live commentary with close to 5000 posts sure did suck the wind out of the sails…
Looks like the local grom that fucked up Filipe
Not sure which is more played (or should I say “burnt” to sound modern?) out, devil salute or shaka? Will the next generation of smart asses come up with something new or are we stuck with these forever?
