Before they shut off the power today, watched a little bit a Shark Week on Digits. I fucking heart sharks. As I watched, I couldn't help but to think of a shark, swimming along. Fulfilling it's purpose. Streamlined and Direct. No Ballast. Just Dread Purpose. And then... They chum the water. They throw out a gorgeous chunk of mahi mahi with a ginormous hook in it. And that beautiful creature circles, circles, bites... And is FUCKED. Not literally. Well...not sexually I guess. Maybe actually literally. Choose your own ending.
They showed how the Japanese bait 'em and then hack their dorsal fins off, thus damning them to a slow, wretched death. It's all rather horrible.
So, I wondered how awesome it would be to have the underwater cameras rolling and just have the Shark look at the bait and then.... just keep cruising. I've seen it happen. I think... Like maybe once or twice. But in retrospect it was more than likely just widening it's circles before coming back in for the bait. Looking around. Unable to resist it's nature. Hooks tearing into it's mouth. Even the researchers hook 'em in the mouth. It's lose lose. I feel bad for sharks.
In other news, I conjectured about plurals, meanings, and a lot of what the fucks. But what can I do? It's my nature. Chomp.
