that's it, get all these critters into a feeding frenzy, yeah, that makes sense. Especially that toothpick thing
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 02:48 PM
Oh Lordy, now we have buckets of blood to clean up.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 20, 2007 at 02:50 PM
urinating in the water can attract the feared Candiru fish... All you guys at the "swim up" bar better watch out
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 02:52 PM
instead of just the small pan we had before.
maybe we can just let the pirhanas clean up...
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 02:54 PM
All I can say is...FISHBAIT!!!!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 20, 2007 at 02:56 PM
"Toothpick fish?" I thought those were blackberry thorns. Just damn....
Posted by: CJrun | January 20, 2007 at 02:58 PM
And this guy is also contributing to the gene pool? Man! I'm having trouble posting tonight
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 20, 2007 at 02:59 PM
As a young boy, I was beaten a lot by my parents and schoolmasters. This no doubt contributed greatly to my ability ito ignore pain and endure.
And they want to outlaw spanking. Go figure
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 03:01 PM
perhaps after the toothpick fish and the pirhana get to him, he won't be able to contribute to the gene pool
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 03:02 PM
I decided to dedicate the Amazon swim also to the preservation of the rain forest and clean waters
so of course you pour in buckets of blood...

If they were trying to beat some sense into him, they failed miserably.
Posted by: Lairbo | January 20, 2007 at 03:10 PM
Not to mention the exhaust emissions and other effluent from all the support boats.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 20, 2007 at 03:13 PM
The number of parasitic critters living in the Amazon is second only to the watering holes in equatorial Africa. He'll be covered in leeches and incubating worm eggs in his brain by the end of the first hour.
Posted by: D.Esker | January 20, 2007 at 03:14 PM
Well, Desker, he's cheating and wearing a wetsuit. It sounds crazy, but here we water ski on a Black Water river. It's great as the water is smooth as glass and you are winding through the edges of a cypress swamp. The trick is, alligators. Falling [which I do a lot of] is tricky. You tend to do things that might attract toothpick fish, IYKWIM.
Posted by: CJrun | January 20, 2007 at 03:20 PM
He's "swimming for peace". He'll be swiming in pieces when he's through.
Moron.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 20, 2007 at 03:21 PM
"Swimming for peace" that's a new one. My favourite is the expression "Fighting for peace". To my mind fighting for peace is the same as f*^%!$g for virginity.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 20, 2007 at 03:24 PM
israeli: did you hear about that guy swimming the amazon for world peace?
palestinian: yeah, it makes you think...if a guy can do something that painful , why can't we live in harmony?
newspaperboy: extra, extra! slovenian swimmer attacked by piranha and toothpick fish, explodes into sushi!
israeli and palestinian: let's lock and load!!!!
Posted by: insomniac | January 20, 2007 at 03:26 PM
Well, I for one would fight for piece.
Oh...peace.
Well, that's different.

They might as well start writing his obit now.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 03:32 PM
That guy is dying to go swimming. Can we just text him a lap pool?
Posted by: Meditrina | January 20, 2007 at 03:32 PM
Love to follow him in a glass-bottomed boat to watch the fun.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 20, 2007 at 03:35 PM
and pick up the pieces ;-)
Posted by: Siouxie | January 20, 2007 at 03:36 PM
Who can find your anus
Swim in it upstream
Find a rectal fold for an an intestinal buffet
The candiru can
The candiru can and it feeds upon your blood and eats your tissue away
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 03:40 PM
this guy must've been hit too hard upsideothe head wunst or twice while he was bein' beat
Mot- personally I'd rather watch via sattelite in the comfort of my own living room. All that travel for what's sure to be a short swim...
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 03:40 PM
lol stevie...icky but good!
btw, the bot has been on my ASS all afternoon!!!!
YES, bot! I SAID ASS! ASS! ASS! ASS!!
gumballs?? anyone?
Posted by: Siouxie | January 20, 2007 at 03:41 PM
SW, is the candiru good for the klingons around Uranus?
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 20, 2007 at 03:42 PM

Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 03:43 PM
Uh-oh...mudstuffin has some competition.

Siouxie, me too, can we
killappease the bot?Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 03:48 PM
ohh ohhh I have an idea!! can we throw Twatney & Paris in there with him?
Posted by: Siouxie | January 20, 2007 at 03:50 PM
One of the inventions I'd really love to see would be an overexposed celebrity eraser. It's right up there with bio-degradable supermarket trolleys and non-proliferating wire coat hangers. C'mon the geek brigade, put your thinking caps on.
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 20, 2007 at 03:53 PM
mm, maybe if we sacrifice a blog virgin to appease the bot gods???
*looks around*
**SNORK*^!!!!!!!!!
Posted by: Siouxie *not even my ears* | January 20, 2007 at 03:53 PM
I was about to *snork* Siouxie, then I had to add Isom, then I saw stevew, d@mn you guys are killing me here!!
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 03:54 PM
Siouxie, they'd suck up all of the toothpick fish and the nothing would happen to the swimmer. Better than buckets o' blood...
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 03:54 PM
Time to retire gracefully, brains getting fuddled and my eyes are drooping. Ciao Amigos
Posted by: Mot the Hoople | January 20, 2007 at 03:57 PM
Oh, and not to leave out Mot's f^%!!g for virginity. dayum!!
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 03:58 PM
Yeah, that sacrifice thing might be hard to accomplish.
Ya think it'd go for squirrels? We gots lots of them. No? Slovenian swimmers?
Dang we're SOL..

Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 04:10 PM

"A wetsuit and a special cream should protect him from these..."
Wonder if he gets his Orifice Protection Cream from
Argentine model Belen Rodriguez.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 04:22 PM
fish sauce for the fish, stevie??
Posted by: Siouxie | January 20, 2007 at 04:25 PM
just eeeww, stevie, oh and *snork*
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 04:25 PM
She's hot.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 04:26 PM
I think the bot's got nothing else to do today, so it's raggin' on us...slow news day an' all
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 04:27 PM
in more ways that one, stevie
I can think of three
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 04:29 PM
steve w........Taste great, less filling?
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 04:30 PM
I can only think of two.
What's the third?
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 04:31 PM
I thought the biggest danger of swimming in the Amazon was that fish that swims up the urethra when you pee and embeds itself.
Ah yes, I wasn't mistaken. See this video.
Posted by: Brad | January 20, 2007 at 04:31 PM

Posted by: CJrun | January 20, 2007 at 04:38 PM
Scary. From now on, I'm limiting my pissung au naturel to hotel swimming pools.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 04:38 PM
That's pissing, dammit.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 04:38 PM
ouch! eeeek!
there goes skinny dippin for me!
Posted by: Siouxie | January 20, 2007 at 04:40 PM
ok that just gives me chills...Thanks, Brad
*triple eeewww*
Posted by: mm | January 20, 2007 at 04:42 PM
Can we get Twatney & paris to make the swim first and see if they can kill the parasites?
Posted by: wxgurl | January 20, 2007 at 04:43 PM
I thought maybe "pissUng" was a combined form of elimination I was unfamiliar with, steve w.
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 04:46 PM
wxgurl, I'm thinking even those parasites won't go up those vagins.
Posted by: Siouxie | January 20, 2007 at 04:48 PM
The willyfish swam up my putz
He's making a feast of my guts
I tried to extract it
But I got distracted
By the piranhas that were biting my nuts.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 04:50 PM
Siouxie, does that mean they don't eat meat? ;-\
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 04:54 PM
*snork* @ the song pissung by stevie.
Here's a torch version:
Remember... I remember how long I bled
Told me peace was too ephemeral
Told me I’d be et by a crocodile
And now you say you’re peaceful
Well, just to prove you are
Come on and swim me a river
Swim me a river
I swam a river over you
Posted by: CJrun | January 20, 2007 at 04:54 PM
lmao, good one
and owwwwie
Posted by: | January 20, 2007 at 04:54 PM

Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 05:05 PM
Oh good Lord!!
Jazzzz...Brad....you guys take the comments on that, please. I'm afraid of what I might say.
Posted by: blurk | January 20, 2007 at 05:09 PM
I've been sittin on my hands afraid of what you may say too, Blurkie :-)
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 05:10 PM

I knew you were doing this for money.
Posted by: CJrun | January 20, 2007 at 05:54 PM
*snork* CJ. do we get to choose what kind of fish? (decidedly NOT a blow fish) Maybe a whale...(7 ft. tongue, and breathes through a hole in their head)
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 06:10 PM
*rises on soapbox, which these days are paperboard, so back where he started*
If ya gotta be a fish and clams are on the menu, go Sheepshead. They have the shell-crushing teeth.
If you're going for maximum clammage, you need an Oyster Drill [snail] or Menippe mercenaria, the clam and snail eating machine.
*puts flattened soapbox in recycling bin*
Posted by: CJrun | January 20, 2007 at 06:20 PM
I'm always in favor of maximum clamage.
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 06:26 PM
^m
Posted by: Jazzzz | January 20, 2007 at 06:29 PM
off topic but still naughty:
i just got in from the hardware store. the ever so helpful ace hardware man asked if he could help me with anything when i walked in the store. his eyes got real big and his friendly, helpful smile got real wide when i told him that what i really wanted was some caulk. and yes, i did say that in my phone sex voice and with a straight face.
is the blog bar still open?
Posted by: crossgirl | January 20, 2007 at 06:32 PM
Made up words, made up spelling. *Passes out garlic butter*
Posted by: CJrun | January 20, 2007 at 06:33 PM
Toothpick fish doesn't begin to describe fish the swim up your _____, die, rot, and cause infection.
Posted by: Edgar Greenberg | January 20, 2007 at 06:34 PM
Did you get Tru Value from him, Cross?
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | January 20, 2007 at 06:41 PM
ROFG [giggling] cg! I did the same thing today... I found this gorgeous brunette gal in the building materials section and asked her if she knew anything about roofies. She finally said, 'maybe over at the Pro Desk.'
Why do girls always say that to me?
Posted by: CJrun | January 20, 2007 at 06:48 PM
("The Sloop John B.")
i swam down the mighty yangtze
but didn't get world harmony
and then a bigger idea entered my dome!!
dodge carnivorous fish
who think i'm delish
with all i've soaked up
i want to go home!
the toothpick fish's a bad dream
swims up your urine stream
made me keep my d--- completely plated in chrome!
there's buckets of blood
(i hope they think type O's good)
with all i've soaked up
i want to go home!
so hoist all the chum-filled pails
see how far that i'll get
piranhas, bugs, tidal bores won't
let me go home.
Let me go home, i swear i'll move up to Nome
with all i've soaked up
i want to go home!
Posted by: insomniac | January 20, 2007 at 06:49 PM
Q. What did the piranha say to the toothpick fish?
A. Tastes like scrotum.
Posted by: Stevie W | January 20, 2007 at 06:50 PM
