"Shark Attacks"

:clap_1:

So three Sharks bit people in Florida over the weekend. Please tell me how a shark bite is considered an attack? When a spider bites you, do you go around saying that I was attacked by a spider? I know that news sells, but come on. If an animal has vicious looking teeth, does that make it an "attacking" animal if he bites you? The good news is that there was no news worth reporting this weekend.

I was the victim of several mosquito attacks over the weekend......

A group of ants attacked my right foot yesterday.

If I bite my own tongue, is that considered an attack of sorts? If it is, I think my teeth have some legal responsibility here.

the hot oven rack attacked my arm last week.

My rake attacked me while planting a new bed yesterday, does that count?

Of course, stupid me should have been watching where I was stepping. I was trying to work fast before the rain came and guess what.... no rain until later in the evening.... of course, this was when I chose to walk the dogs because it looked like it had passed.

Me too! I wished I could say you should have seen the other guy, but I have the nastiest scar from skin being stuck to a rack with pizza that wouldn't come off the rack! Kinda looks like a worm tatoo!

i am having a massive attack of hangnails....

i had a SoWal attack on the way home...i'm ok now.... i got my fix...

I was attacked by my lint roller and have bruises to prove it. Stupid, painful mistake!! Those things have nothing on waxing:!:

Did anyone see the YouTube video of the guy who lost his thumb to a moray eel? BTW--The guy was asking for trouble.

they replaced his thumb with a toe

Cil - that was amazing!

let's see, what are some lessons to learn from this guy? do not feed the eels!!! do not play with the eels!!!

I think I would have left my toe where it was. pretty amazing operation though!!!

feeding that Moray all of those weiners, I bet the guy is glad that the eel bit off only his thumb.

Y'know, I've been thinking on this all afternoon. It's an interesting and original thought. What constitutes an "attack?" As said, mosquitoes bite the same way and so do ants, but we don't call that an attack. Only a bite. I've come to the conclusion that it has to do with size and ego. Ergo. If it's a big enough size--ie, dog or shark--and the human ego feels that it's a fair fight and winnable by man with enough luck and cunning, then it's an "attack." Since humans are bigger (and therefore mightier?) than ants or bugs, then it doesn't play to our sense of being fairly matched, so we condescend to calling an ant or bug attack a "bite." it would be too humiliating to the ego to call it anything else.

Just a theory.

i attacked a nice big fat juicy provolone burger mr audie had all grilled and waiting on me when i got up. yummy !!!

I had luke warm soup, but MANgo made it with love.

Today, I attacked a couple of No-see-ums, with the intent to kill, and I successfully did just that -- killed 'em dead. Now if I just big off one of their toes, I would consider that just a bite, rather than an attack.

I was attacked by poison sumak last weekend and it invaded both arms and my right leg......

Amazing video. Thank goodness he can still grip a beer!!!!

play with fire...

A frog just hopped across my foot in the driveway and made me spill my coffee. Does this count as an attack?

My hair is trying to curl when I want it to be straight...it's even beginning to frizz a bit and is seriously getting out of control.

Wild Hair attacks are the worst.

Mine looks worse (and feels worse) now than it did when it happened. Looks pretty bad, too.

It was a hop and run.
