Now its the WHALES! What round for whales? Get a bigger boat!

[Glenn E. Meyer]

So to add to the Apocalypse, the whales are attacking:

I have two theories:

1. They are pissed off because of the episode of the Boys where the Deep's whale friend was rammed and killed by Billy Butcher

2. They are reading themselves for an attack on the next Trump flotilla if one gets into coastal waters. After all we did see the Poseidon for Biden meme from Stephanie.

Time to put in a call to Japan.

Right? One of those recalcitrant little bastards would provide lube for a lot of vintage 1911s. Just saying.

(The whale, not a Japanese person, I should add. Get your minds out of the gutter, folks).

.35 Whelan?

.600 Ahab?

Queequeg, Tashtego and Daggoo,

Sit around with nothing to do,

When they eye the white whale,

They opt for cold ale,

And toss Ahab into the blue.

.600 Ahab?

Sure, it sounds like a good idea but the recoil will knock your legs right out from under you...

There’s not a zero percent chance that somebody’s science project escaped.

Orcas are just assholes. They will do asshole shit just for the sake of being assholes.

For some reason, they don't kill people outside of captivity. I have various crackpot theories as to why this is, but they definitely have opportunity and don't. Hopefully that isn't changing.

Theory 1 makes sense to me. I laughed so hard I was crying.

That’s actually something I’ve always wondered about because other large marine predators that feed on seals and seal lions do kill folks. I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts on that since you’re actually around them in the wild.
