Drunk man attacks shark with bare hands
A man who caught a 4-foot shark with his bare hands off an Australian beach said on Friday he only tried the feat because he was drunk on vodka.
Phillip Kerkhof was fishing off a jetty at Louth Bay, a town on South Australia state's Eyre Peninsula 870 miles west of Sydney, when he spotted the bronze whaler shark swimming in the shallows, the Australian Broadcasting Corp. reported.
"I just snuck up behind him, and eventually I went for the big grab and I fluked it and got him," Kerkhof said.
"He was just thrashing around in the water ... starting to turn around and try to bite me and I thought 'well, it's amazing what vodka does'," Kerkhof said.
The shark bit a hole in Kerkhof's jeans, but he was uninjured.
"It's not something I'd recommend to do. When I sobered up I thought about it and I said, 'I'm a bit of an idiot for doing it'," Kerkhof said.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I thought 'well, it's amazing what vodka does'
I'm sure the October Revolutionists thought the same thing.

Ooooh... updated om the Edmund Optics thing:
Associate director of CfA contacted them, got the same spiel as we've seen.
She then wrote again.
"Below is my letter to the CEO. As President of the company, you have done a disservice to women in the technical professions. If the company's product needs this kind of advertising, perhaps we should worry that the quality has diminished under your leadership.
I am responsible for maintaining a workplace free of gender discrimination and sexual harassment. Will I need to ban your catalog?'"
Marisa Edmund, VP of Marketing, responded the same day (Feb 14), ``Thank you for your feedback. I will be sure to review your comments and concerns with the CEO and entire EO team. We have significantly changed our marketing campaigns moving forward and hope you will find them more appropriate.''

Congrats bon bon!
Note that the plane was forced to land in Hawaii. I think the squirrel was just aiming for a free tropical vacation.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Hooray!
I was trying to explain to my guys that if that cover was pinned up to the walls in their cubicles, I'd have a big problem with that.
I'm still steamed over the response I got back from them, like they were trying to make me feel like some sort of humorless dried up feminist. I'm a really funny, well moisturized feminist.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The ended up killing the squirrel, as they were afraid of rabies....
Maybe the squirrel wanted to be buried in Hawaii....

Yeah, it took an awful long time for them to get a fucking clue. Oh, and get this: she also contacted a couple of major publications EO advertises in. So far, one has promised to review all EO ads before running them. So.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That just reminds me of the word moist. Poor word, to have all that ick on it now.
But it totally does.
Walk up to someone and make lech eyes at them while slowly saying "moist." Laugh time.
I played with a most charming baby yesterday. She didn't ping my ovaries, because I'm really really really glad I don't have to take care of one, but she was a lot of fun to play with. It's possible I might have weirded out some of the kravvers, because that's really not who they think I am.
