    That is the stuff nightmares and movies that cause nightmares are made of! By comparison, Jaws was a guppy! Don't go in the water!

    I don't know anything about a whale's nuts but the California Gray Whale has a penis that is fourteen feet long. Talk about hung...
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Well, I don't know about Whale Nuts, but I can tell you this:

    Yes, but if the target you have to hit is slightly smaller than the Marianas Trench ... :shock:

    Funny thing about DX.......well, maybe not funny but I don't chase it. It is not a priority of mine. If I hear a DX station calling CQ, there is no pile-up, the station speaks English well enough for me to understand him, and I think I can work in a rag chew with him, I'll call him. Otherwise, it is just another, "I worked to hard to get a 59 contact" and I am not interested. Every once in a while I'll hear something intriguing to me and I'll jump into the pile-up, like the time I was mobile and worked Sierra Leon, because he was working split and I had not worked split before.

    What irritates the shit out of me is when I hear a DX Station, and there is a pile-up and you get that pushy guy, who calls over and over again, even when the DX is talking, and when he finally gets heard says, "Hello Hermie, I've worked you 7 times before!" Then he gets his 59 report. Why bother?

    I'm 6 foot tall, and weigh 400 pounds. I don't know nothing about no penises 'cept my own. I can probably describe several dozen vaginae in detail if you like.:rofl:
