hirstshark.jpgThis is a huge shipment so he’s going to need a couple of able bodied guys to come with and hijack the goods. For those of you trying to score some brownie points, meet in the parking lot in ten for further instructions and ski masks– van’s leaving promptly at 3.

The New York Aquarium is moving ahead with a $100 million plan to renovate its building in Coney Island and create two massive tanks for more than 30 sharks — about four times as many as now ply the aquarium’s waters.
Under the aquarium’s plan, the sharks, whose streamlined forms simultaneously scare and fascinate visitors, will have a lot more room to move. The aquarium’s single 90,000-gallon tank — where eight tiger, nurse and reef sharks now make their home — is to be replaced by two glass-walled tanks with a total capacity of 600,000 gallons.

    CG strikes me as the type of guy that keeps exotic animals as pets illegally.

    Bess Levin why do you do this to me?! You know I need to focus and now I’m going to be mentally undressing these sexy beasts all afternoon.

    What happened to the tag? If you can’t laugh at child sodomy, the terrorists have won.

  19. Posted by Bess Levin | September 17, 2009 at 2:56 PM

    @18 I agree but I think ‘wet dream come to life’ better encapsulates what’s going on here. Though it was a tough call.

    I didn’t see the original tag. What was it?

    What would you do if you woke up in the middle of the night and Dennis Kneale was sodomizing a shark at the foot of your bed while CG filmed it? Discuss

    Well, Stevie, what would you do, friend?

  27. Posted by guest | September 17, 2009 at 3:29 PM

    @26 what I meant was I would be the one sodomizing the shark. So that’s what I’d be doing. Any other questions?
