Sharkfight!!! For real, like for real for real. (Misc!!)
Sometimes I'll be browsing around the internet, using The Google and reading newswebs and filesites, and I'll suddenly come across something so perfect, so tailor-made for The Brilliance, I can't believe it. Most of the time this happens with some new artist I find and want to talk about, but in this instance it's one of those things that falls perfectly into our 'Misc.' category. So, all that said, let me start by saying that the New York Post really nailed it with this title...ready? 'Moment of Tooth'. Moment of tooth. Ha. I'm not sure if this post is more about how great that title is or about how great the story is. Anyways...from the article... 'These amazing pictures show an epic, two-hour battle between spear fisherman Craig Clasen and a 12-foot tiger shark in the Gulf of Mexico.' Amazing. There are a lot of wild things about this...not only the general storyline, but the fact that the guy then proceeds to spear the poor thing 7 times, tries to drown it (how do you drown a fish!?), shoots it in the gills, and then puts a knife in its skull! Nobody - nobody - will ever top this guy when it comes to storytelling. You literally cannot have a more out there story to tell, unless this had happened in a small man made lake, or in the sky. Anyways, I have to mention the downer part of this...he says ""This was one of the most remorseful moments I have ever had in all of my years in hunting and fishing," he said." Which made me realize, yeah, that would be kind of hard to cope with. But then I read the first comment and I laughed again. "El Mac wrote:
Remorseful?!?!? Why, I'd be ecstatic! I'd mount that thing. What a sweet kill!"
