Anyone here watching Shark Week?

[LafayetteBear]

I have to admit that I am frickin' fascinated by sharks. (Not so much the Michael Phelps vs. shark thing, though.) Love watching those idiots go into scrawny looking shark cages and expose themselves to 3-4 thousand pound eating machines. The topper in last year's Shark Week was the guy who went down in a shark cage composed exclusively of lucite. At Guadalupe Island (home of the biggest white sharks), no less.

Have you watched any of it?

Yes, it is a big deal in our household. My daughters, wife, and I all watch it. It is very good entertainment.

Every year. Look forward to adding to my irrational fear of sharks and the oceans

We know the Kintner boy isn't.

Try swimming with them. Blizzard Beach is a start, but find an expert for further adventure.

Watch where you do it. No freshwater outlets to the sea. This equals food for bulls. Avoid dark water.

Speaking of sharks, check out this beast just caught off the coast of NJ

What Discovery did with the Phelps thing was very lame and they took a hit on their credibility. But I do love the shark week. Especially when it includes a Sharknado!

My kids 11 and 7 have been glued to it. And as a bonus they are going to the beach tomorrow in New Jersey.

Well good news is they probably won't go past knee deep.

Some thoughts of sharks probably help swimmers avoid the bigger problem of bathing in the ocean -- rip tides.

Have them bring back Nick Suriano with them.

That would be nice. Hopefully Nick will come back on his own.
