THE LOACH: https://www.fishkeeper.co.uk/fish/freshwater/sharks-loaches
From a listener, who lives in Patagonia, Chile, South America. He is a fisherman who lives near the sea and spends his days hunting ocean going hippo ... he has a zesty wife and lives a zesty life ... this is a story from our friend down south who has an aquarium:
Ssssssssss loaching. The meanest fish I ever had in a fish tank was a loach....nasty little bastard.
He hid inside a little toy castle, and any fish that swam by he would dart his head out and tear a piece of their fin off.....that was just the start of the tank wars .....in the end all that was left was the plecostomus and one crafty crab who had taken over the loaches former home and barricaded himself in the back surround by dead fish and crab parts....truly horrific what went down in that tank.....

FUN-GAL?
LAST FOOD
LAST FOOD
for the brood
the machine was crude
put me in a 'tude
as the fat burned off
a little cough
from the viral goo
and a smile from the screen
not mean
ever seen
when the twirled taters
and onion craters
crack your spleen
NOT GOOD
when the heart cracks
and the back leaks
as eyes glow in the night
no fright
just now
a yellow blight
a cow
a wolf
a bat
or a rat
all on sale
in the bale
blue and green
all in the TACO pouch
covered in RED
"Hope it's dead"
sad the grouch
SOME DUDE
too rude for service
sells slurry
kind of furry
near the ferry
his name was Jerry
"Get more slop"
and the cop
with fists of fury
pounded the poor beast
and in silence
a line so long
no song
just spilled grease
TELL JUDE
to put the fam
on the tram
go to the central store
a whore
named Jelly
in her belly
carries the protein core
a modest proposal
a deal of Molech stench
a bum on the bench
dies quick
sick?
hit him with a wrench
load the body
it's not naughty
a necessary pick
so slick
the last day for "Rick"
THE LAST MEAL
by the bay
with Jay and Sal
your tent pals
a sun sets
as the sky turns black
and food
on the roll
in the bowl
red and brown
with a frown
gobble it down
LAST FOOD
LAST FOOD
"FIVE MINUTES"
said the clown
at the gate
no hate
you just wait
for the last food
it's not too late
Turn it UP, Turn it DOWN … (like it’s an OP)
You’re not shaking …
“You say you’ve rented out space in my head, but I know you’re lying. You’re not shaking.” – Dr. Freckles
We need …
We need to build
a connected network
of hyper cannons,
super rail guns,
that fire exo-atmospheric
SCRAM JET hyper sonic
glide vehicles ...
We need robot dogs
armed with flamethrowers ...
the dogs have a computer virus
version of rabies.
We need time-torpedoes
so we can whack our enemies
before they are born ...
This is the future of war ...
This is the future
of the forlorn.
We need a pill
that will make you ill
with type-herpes
then we'll drink a slurpee
this is the future of war
and love ...
We must be strong
made of coke and fever
we will deliver
the final blow ...
We will defeat the wrong
and replace the evil
with a metal man
from robot Japan ...
The war will last long
a final song for a dying race
outer space hookers
real lookers
will take too long
singing this song ...
The war will be messy
filled with gore
forevermore,
you will be entrapped
by the slap
and the pain
of complete disdain ...
Our newest lasers
our turret masers
our machine gun arms
will raise alarm
and we'll FIGHT
on SATURDAY NIGHT
and we'll disarm
and take the freaks
to the farm ...
The war will be new
the war will be true
there will be so few
left
and then the broken
soaked in monkey blood
will chew their cud
and with a thud
you become a STUD ...
We need to feed
the soy to the pigs
the pigs to the corn
the corn to the cow
the cow to the horse
and of course
we'll eat the pony
no phony baloney
it's time STAND TALL
at the Cattleman's Ball
this is the path
what we need ...
We need all of this,
real soon ...
When?
When I was a kid no one I knew in Western Washington needed air conditioning, ever. This may seem off topic, but as I was out walking today (in early May) I remarked at one of the more obvious cases of someone who had installed air conditioning and it seemed like it was on full power – Port Angeles, WA. This summer a lot of folks, especially in King and Pierce Counties, will be buying AC units, heat pumps, escape from the unrelenting heat.
Also, as a kid 5 decades ago, we were told we never had to worry about GREAT WHITE SHARKS in the Puget Sound, for three basic reasons: a) the orca pods would scare them away, b) the water is too cold and c) there’s plenty of food in the ocean for them or along the coasts. I’d say (a), (b), and (c), used to be true – none of those points are true now. The local orca pods are NOT doing great, the water is warming and FOOD in the wider ocean (see the story of the gray whales) is not the giant feast it used to be.
Add to this, the recent discovery of new sharks in the Puget Sound. Predators will avoid breaking boundary conditions of their habitats IF there is plenty of food. When the food runs low the predator has the choice of staying and dying OR going some place else. While cold water threatens great white sharks, WARM OR HOT water is just as bad for the great white – they like it warm, but not too warm. That’s the Puget Sound now, warm, not too warm, orca pods not doing so great, and plenty of food (for a creative predator).
This summer will be a barn burner, and the Western Washington beaches (like West Beach near Deception Pass) will be very popular.
I wonder if this will be the first summer a large shark attacks a swimmer or other human in the Puget Sound. Ghoulish? – yes. Exaggeration? – no.
