Real Life Jonah 🐳

[Alejo R.]

It wasn't that long ago that along the EU coasts, Killer whales were just tearing fishing boats to smithereens. The experts were saying that parent whales were teaching their offspring to tear up boats. Ain't NO WAY I'd be tooling about in that area in a small boat.

Yes, in the Strait of Gibraltar. They broke the propulsion of several yachts. Named the líder Gladis.

It happens all the time that people here in Comodoro Rivadavia or Rada Tilly go kayaking or paddle boarding, moving 2000 meters or more away from the beach. Full territory of the Southern Right Whale or the Orcas. This type of encounter happens quite often. Not that it swallows them, but whales that emerge from under kayaks or boats, or that hit people while jumping.

Exactly .

Though being mauled by a killer whale is extremely rare , they are very muscular , fast & aggressive .

There are some graphic videos on the internet demonstrating their apex status . What they do to great whites & even blue whales is shocking .

That was a crazy video I saw this morning on the news! I haven’t been kayaking in years but thank god Lake Superior doesn’t have those big beasts! I can’t imagine going ocean kayaking, enjoying the workout and scenery, and then being swallowed by a whale!!

Ever heard of Mishipeshu?

"Underwater panther" sounds a lost worse than a fat fish...

Nope lol. But have you heard of the undertow? That’s scary stuff. When I was a kid I’d walk out into the lake just to the point where the bottom dropped. I’d reach out with my foot and feel it. Many people have been sucked under never to be seen again. Terrifying.

Honestly I can’t believe I haven’t heard of this before and I’ve lived in the upper Midwest for most of my life. Thanks for sharing!

Now, have you heard of the Hodag?

I have zero desire to go out on the ocean

I feel for you! I have done my time. One cruise I was on was 71/2 months long with only 4 days in port. I know guys have did longer sentences...... but I got to see a lot of water.

When my kids were younger, we scheduled a swim with dolphin tour. We were all geared up in our scuba suits and waiting on the pier for the boat from the previous tour to return to take us out. When the boat rushed back in, they were carrying this guy just covered in blood and holding big patches of skin on him by hand. They cancelled our tour... only explaining that the dolphins weren't in a good mood that day, ha ha. We went back to our room and looked it up, and many of these tours end up in chaos, because dolphins are wild unpredictable animals. We don't know what sets them off, but they have rows of razor sharp teeth that can F-you up in a heartbeat.
The tour guides will always blame the customers, but the reality is that it could be anything from what shampoo someone in the tour used to an arm gesture one would make that sets them off. They have no idea what it is... but these places still continue to take tourists' money.

Now, if I am swimming out beyond the breakers, which I wouldn't do on purpose, and if I see dolphins, I hurry my ass back towards the beach. F them dolphins. Ha ha.

They've been known to get downright unruly with menstruating women who swim with them...

Well, better we didn't swim with them. My luck, the crazy chick dolphins would take my wallet… and stop returning my calls

As many consversations do, this one reminds me of a King of the Hill episode.

Now, have you heard of the Hodag?

No, and I've never dated her, or her bitch sister either. If anybody tells you otherwise their fulla shit.

The Hodag, Loch Ness monster, Big Foot, and other such goblins, spooks, haunts and witches were all part of Miss Charlotte’s seventh grade class where we learned how easy it was to fool the public, and how easy it was to avoid humbugs.

To avoid being scammed look things up.

It’s so much easier today with the internet, instead of having to use the library.

The man who invented Sherlock Holmes was convinced there really were fairies.



Thank you, Miss Charlotte, wherever in heaven you may roam!.

Even in 1971, Miss Charlotte would have been fired if she’d not been sleeping with the Superintendent every night and my father wasn’t President of the School Board, with all his church buddies, plus she had tenure.

Miss Charlotte killed a million Sacred Cows.
