I've been swimming in the waters of the Bay and local rivers plenty of times, even caught little hammerheads when I was younger, played in the waves of Va Beach and Nags Head, finally stuck my feet in the warm waters of the Bahamas in January, been riding next to a school of dolphin on a jet ski, stingrays all around in the shallows...I love the water, love marine life and often wished I'd become a marine biologist, BUT, I really love the peace and safety of a clear water/see all the way to the bottom swimming pool!

God has a sense of humor evolving THOSE freakish fish

God [scratching long white beard]  "hmmmmm seem to be missing something to clean up the excess fish population..."

Santa's Stupidest Elf [raising hand]  "OOH!  I got it!  How about a BORG like killing machine shaped like a funnel with teeth?"

God [smiling]  "yeah... YEAH.... *I* would have never thought anything so cruel and evil.  Good answer!"

VABUSA, I'll bet you thought this whole prize thing would just conveiniantly go away, didn't you. Well guess again my friend. That's right! I just received my prize for hittin' 400 posts. A little late but it was worth the wait. Makes toast like it's turbocharged. Mulitple settings, sleek lines AND a clean out tray for crums. No uneccessary and ugly styling like the ZX-14, just down to business looks with the performance to back it up! I'm makin' toast like a, uhmmm, welllllll, uhhhhhh, like a guy who makes toast ALOT! Oh yeah, that's right,gravy and toast, toasted pop-tarts, frozen pancakes, cinnamon toast, it's all good up here in Washington.
I can't wait to get to 1000 posts. I hear there are some doubley astounding prizes. Until then...leggo my eggo!

PRIZE TOASTER IS TOUCHED BY THE HAND OF GOD!
I just got a prize from SH.org and I believe it may be touched by God. Every time I toast something look what happens. Is that an S? Is it Gods way of saying Suzuki's rule?

If you ever get to go to the Cayman Islands, then you can "see to the bottom of the pool"...of course, it's 70 feet to the bottom.

It's awe inspiring to swim at 70 feet, then as you cross over the coral ledge, you are looking into the Abyss where the shear wall drop away below you to a depth of several thousand feet. Your only reference to the world is the coral wall that is behind you...everything else is just deep blue.

Thats funny you posted these pics. They are the same ones I gave my painter as research for my next custom paint job. I figured the busa's nose looks similiar and it already has gills. Can't wait to see what come out of the booth.

When I saw that first picture, all I could think of how I'd have to have that 9mm in "Rhythym's" logo ... and then blow its brains out. By the way, how's that thing work underwater?

I frequently dangle my skinny legs from a surfboard and I must look like a treat. I've seen Hammer heads, gray reef & tiger sharks and I dont like any of em!
