Would be nice to have a clear pic of the hammerhead shark. It's rare to see one. Good news is that most hammerheads are harmless to humans. In isolated cases where hammerheads have attacked humans, none of the attacks were fatal.

One way to attract the shark for a better picture would be to throw raw meat into the water. However just to play it safe, it's best to use a cage, just in case other sharks come by and engage in a feeding frenzy ...

I caught a 14' hammerhead right of the beach in florida.

That is some catch, Spoonman ... ... you're getting in the range of a 600 - 800 pound shark. Did you release the shark back into the water after you took several pictures? I would have stuffed it and mounted it on the wall. A 14 foot shark is quite a trophy. Hammerhead shark meat is also edible, and with a shark that size, you could fill up your freezer, and still have lots and lots of leftover.

yes. it was a catch and release. i have some pictures but i will have to scan them. this was long before the days of digital.

Once again, an explanation.


When I sign out with my good night themes, it does not mean I am going to sleep. It means I am leaving the computer until sometime the following day. It means I have to get Mrs O's evening meds, take Colonel out, get my evening meds, and then usually spend about 2 hours reading....

When I sign in the following day it doesn't mean I just got up, it means that after morning Meds, a few cups of Joe, breakfast, morning news, and sometimes an errand or two, I'm sitting down at the computer for at least 15 or 20 minutes....

In about 10 I have to leave for the Veterans service Commission.....

 

[Jughead]

Morning all! Today is Lemon Meringue Pie Day. My favorite pie, and dessert for that matter is apple pie, but Lemon Meringue Pie is still quite good...

Have a great day folks!

Eggplant Parmigiana! Right outta the garden!

There's also mashed potatoes with gravy on top for a side. You can't get any softer than mashed potatoes. For a complete meal, you could have Shepherd's Pie, it should be passable for soft food ... ... don't forget to add some catsup ...

Creamed spinich, mashed sweet potatos, riscotto, fluffy eggs, apple sauce, bisque, pudding, banana smoothies, butternut squash, liver pate, yogurt, soufle,
humus (and feta),Chocolate-Peanut Butter Smoothie Recipe...omg!, salmon mouse, ICE CREAM....now I'm hungry

^^^This place does that to me, too. Stimulates the appetite. Have to go into deep self-control when it is time to have a bite for breakfast...

 

[Ringel05]

Okay, okay I'm up.

What do you mean? We expect you to dedicate your life to USMB. We should be your last thought at night and first in the morning. Yes, even before coffee.
I suspect you might be hilarious before caffeine.

Mornin' Everybody

 

[Ernie S.]

I succeeded in doing almost nothing yesterday. I do have to go open up at 1, but there isn't a lot to do after that. I may just come back here and do an electrical repair I've been putting off.
It would be great to have power back here in the gazebo.

Okay, okay so you don't sit around all day eating bon bons or whiling away the hours like we all thought...

You don't need to explain, Ollie. We know you love us.

Bummer, I spent five hours downloading wolfenstein the new order, and I am already stuck. You have to jump out of a crashing plane onto the wing of another plane and run to the door and jump in. But I keep falling into the sea and getting killed. The graphics are good though, and my new computer can handle the specifications of the game ok.

 

[Foxfyre]

Good morning everybody and OMG Ollie. That had to be the absolutely most annoying commercial of all time--grates on nerves like no other--but so well done I could not not stop watching it when it came on. Which I suppose is annoying in a good way as it didn't make me angry like "Mommy is going to have a French fry".

Have a great day folks!

Okay, you finally hit one of my all time irresistible weaknesses. A good lemon meringue pie is my all time favorite dessert. And now my mouth is watering.

I hate being out of rep and it seems like it takes forever to regenerate any more.

And for today's history lesson:

On this day in history, August 15, 1939, The Wizard of Oz premiered at Grauman's Chinese Theater in Los Angeles, California. Adapted from the 1900 novel The Wonderful Wizard of Oz by L. Frank Baum, it would become one of the best known films of all time and part of American popular culture and remains one of America's most beloved.

Despite a 'perfect' cast of Judy Garland, Ray Bolger, Jack Halen, Bert Lahr et al, and accolades for its use of Technicolor, fantasy storytelling, ground breaking musical score, and amazing characters using elaborate make-up and special effects, it was also MGM's most expensive film up to that point. It failed to recoup the investment initially but would make up for that many times over later in subsequent releases. It was first broadcast on television in 1956 and that has become an annual tradition.

It was nominated for six Academy Awards that year. It lost out to 'best picture' to Gone with the Wind, but it won two others including best original song: "Over the Rainbow" that would go on to be highly ranked among the best 100 songs of all time. The film was named the most viewed motion picture on television syndication in history by the Library of Congress (who also preserved the film to the National Film Registry in its inaugural year (1989) for being "culturally, historically, and aesthetically significant." It is often ranked among the Top 10 Best Movies of All Time.
