Now I'm Really Pissed!

Who in his right mind grabs a shark by it's tail and drags it onto the beach?
Wouldn't you know it, another Aussie.
Fearless from Fosters?

Sailing Photo Of The Day.

The Dingle Dolphin says hello to a 420.
Hey pal, do have any fish?

Everyone loves the king of the sea,
Ever so kind and gentle is he,
Tricks he will do when children appear,
And how they laugh when he’s near!

They call him Fungi, Fungi, faster than lightning,
No-one you see, is smarter than he,
And we know Fungi, lives in a world full of wonder,
Flying there-under, under the sea!

This wild photo is from Sail.ie. Dear guy who writes that blog,
could you enable comments? I keep getting bounced out.

Screw This, Let's Go For A Swim.

Thank you very much for the kind invitation, I think I'll sit this one out.
Why are there so many goofs who insist on swimming with sharks on Shark Week?

Calamari, Calamari, Lots Of Calamari....Also Known As "Voracious Jumbo Squid!"

Ci sono calamari molto qui!
It seems that we have been invaded.

"Flotillas of jumbo squid are invading the length of the eastern Pacific Ocean,
and the voracious predators may be upsetting ocean ecosystems and threatening
fisheries, scientists warn." Get a grip guys! It's frying time.

Fried Calamari
Recipe from Giada De Laurentiis
(Yeah I know, she has a strange smile...so what.)

Vegetable oil, for deep-frying
1 pound clean squid with tentacles, bodies cut into 1/3- to 1/2-inch-thick rings
2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons dried parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 lemons, cut into wedges
1 cup simple tomato sauce, recipe follows or jarred marinara sauce, warmed

Pour enough oil into a heavy large saucepan to reach the depth of 3 inches.
Heat over medium heat to 350 degrees F. Mix the flour, parsley, salt, and pepper
in a large bowl. Working in small batches, toss the squid into the flour mixture
to coat. Carefully add the squid to the oil and fry until crisp and very pale golden,
about 1 minute per batch. Using tongs or a slotted spoon, transfer the fried calamari
to a paper-towel lined plate to drain.

Place the fried calamari and lemon wedges on a clean plate. Sprinkle with salt.
Serve with the marinara sauce.

Simple Tomato Sauce:
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 stalk celery, chopped
1 carrot, chopped
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 (32-ounce) cans crushed tomatoes
2 dried bay leaves
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, optional

In a large casserole pot, heat oil over medium high heat. Add onion and garlic and saute
until soft and translucent, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add celery and carrots and season with
salt and pepper. Saute until all the vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add tomatoes
and bay leaves and simmer uncovered on low heat for 1 hour or until thick. Remove bay leaves
and check for seasoning. If sauce still tastes acidic, add unsalted butter, 1 tablespoon at
a time to round out the flavors.

Add 1/2 the tomato sauce into the bowl of a food processor. Process until smooth. Continue
with remaining tomato sauce.

Yield: 6 cups
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour 15 minutes

Is That You Chumley?

I am he as you are he
as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun,
see how they fly
I'm crying.

Sitting on a cornflake
waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee shirt,
stupid bloody Tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy,
you let your face grow long.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob.

Mister city p'liceman
sitting pretty little p'liceman in a row.
See how they fly like Lucy in the sky,
see how they run, I'm crying. 
I'm crying. I'm crying. I'm crying.

Yellow matter custard
dripping from a dead dog's eye.
Crab a locker fishwife
pornographic priestess.
Boy, you been a naughty girl,
you let your knickers down.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob.

Sitting in a English garden
waiting for the sun.
If the sun don't come
you get your tan
from standing in the English rain.

I am the eggman, they are the eggmen,
I am the walrus
Goo goo g' joob, goo goo goo g' joob.

Expert texpert choking smokers
Don't you think the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
see how they snied,
I'm crying.

Man, you should have seen them

Holy Cow Bat Mite, Is It A Bird, A Plane Or A Blanket?

It's a Tremoctopus, also known as the Blanket octopus, which is found in the
waters off of  Northern Oz. I'm always amazed at the variety of life in the sea.
It has it's fair share of the weird and wonderful.
See a video of the creature here.
