My job bites sometimes as well....

[oldmanatee]

At last!! The Biteme-ter is functional.

[The Jets]

Lousy chickens!

[Steve Haller]

We're gonna need a bigger bite...

[Twice Shy]

*Refuses to comment*

[Jazzzz]

The "Bat- meter"?
"We gonna go get some nice bats."
I thought this was about sharks..

[Annie Where-but-here]

One foot dangling in the water, marine biologist Enrico Gennari calls out to the shark circling the boat.

Roxanne: Italian again?...sigh....

[Margaritaville]

How hard do sharks bite? Pretty hard? If it's got your arm, does it really matter?

[Hammond Rye]

"the long metal rod with a bag of fishy remains at the end of it."

I thought that's why you had grad students and interns.

[Annie Where-but-here]

Something must have ruined her apetite.

[Cat R]

Listen to the ground:
There is movement all around.
There is something goin' down
And I can feel it.

On the waves of the air,
There is swimmin’ out there.
If it's somethin' we can share,
We can steal it.

And that sweet Great White shark, oh
She moves through the light,
Controlling my mind and my soul.
When she reaches out for me
Yeah, and the sharkie’s skin is white

Then get the bitemeter, bitemeter.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that bitemeter, bitemeter.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
Prayin' for this moment to last,
Livin' on such borrowed time
Teasing a shark,
Makin' it mine.

Bitemeter, bitemeter.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that bitemeter, bitemeter.
We know how to show it.

Oh, the genius that I am
I’ll need some help for me to make it.
Gimme just enough to make the pain go numbin’
I got fire in my mind.
'Cause my arm and leg are missing
And I’m bleeding in the sea
More sharks are comin’!

And that sweet Great White shark, oh
She moves through the light,
Controlling my mind and my soul.
When you reach out for me
Yeah, and the sharkie’s skin is white

Then get the bitemeter, bitemeter.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that bitemeter, bitemeter.
We know how to show it.

Here I am,
Prayin' for this moment to last,
Livin' on such borrowed time
Teasing a shark,
Makin' it mine.

Bitemeter, bitemeter.
We know how to do it.
Gimme that bitemeter, bitemeter.
We know how to show it.

Bah! Calls himself a marine biologist, but he clearly just covers celebrities that may, or may not deign to give him a comment. Now crabs, on the other hand, will eat what you place before them and be darned grateful! Eigthy sharks in the whole bay? I can get eighty crabs to crawl about on a single shark carcass! Danged prima donna vertebrates! I have your Bitemeter right here (holds up bandaged finger, butt not the middle one)!

[snif]

"no coke...pepsi."

[CJrun]

Seriously, what on Earth is Cutty wearing? It's distracting me from the rest of her.

Hodel:
BiteMeter, Bitemeter,
Make me a match,
Find me a fish,
What can I catch?
BiteMeter, BiteMeter
Look through your book,
And please, never use a hook!

Chava:
BiteMeter, BiteMeter,
I'll bring the whale,
You bring the stinkbait,
Smelly and pale.
Bring me a snack for I'm longing to be,
The envy of all at sea.

Hodel:
For Papa,
Equip him with sonar.

Chava:
For mama,
Make him smell like StarKist.

Chava and Hodel:
For me, well,
We wouldn't holler,
If chad were priced down to
5 pounds for a dollar!

BiteMeter, BiteMeter,
Make me a match,
Who can I find,
What can I catch?
Night after night in the dark I'm alone
So I'll go eat a sailor,
on my own.....

"SAMPLA???" Why can't they go ahead and complete the acronym to "SAMPLE," like the "South African Marine Predator Laboratory Eeeediots?"

I notice they didn't get any video of Enrico with his leg in the water... probably got cut out with the part where he says, "Hold my beer..."

[CJrun]

Roxanne, you don't have to give my foot a bite
Those days are over
Even though you are a Great White....

[Meanie the Blue]

OK, since it appears to be Karaoke Night on The Blog, here goes.

Roxanne, you don't have to chew on it, just bite
Those days are over
You don't have to roll your eyes up and fight
Roxanne, you don't have to be distressed tonight
Fishy remains are yummy
You don't care 'cuz you're a Great White

Roxanne, you don't have to chew on it, just bite
Roxanne, you don't have to chew on it, just bite
Chew on it, just bite, Chew on it, just bite
Chew on it, just bite, Chew on it, just bite
Chew on it, just bite, oh

I loved you since I tagged ya
I wouldn't dare to bag ya
I have to tell you just how I feel
I won't eat you with wasabi and soy
I know my meter's played out
So take a bite and fade out
Told you once I won't tell you again it's not the seal's day

Roxanne, you don't have to chew on it, just bite
Roxanne, you don't have to chew on it, just bite
You don't have to chew on it, just bite
chew on it, just bite, chew on it, just bite

[Meanie the Blue]

(Sorry, cj - you're rendition wasn't there when I started)

[Cat R]

*holds lighter aloft for blog lyricists*

*burns fingers*

OUCH!

[Annie Where-but-here]

CJ did the Readers Digested version. Kudos to both.

[Siouxie]

♫Oh the shark has pretty teeth dear,
And he shows them pearly white
Just a jack-knife has Macheath dear
And he keeps it out of sight. ♬

Not an original but appropriate for kareoke night.

*SNORKS* @ all the lyricists!!!!

[Meanie the Blue]

I actually hate that song so much, that I might one day be tempted to shreik it at a karaoke event. No other song is lousy enough to deserve my singing voice.

[CJrun]

It's a little known fact that Cliff Notes were invented by me, Cliff Clavin.

[Wyo Cowboy]

I happen to love Mac the Knife...

slides CJ a double. after last night's game, I'm sure he's needin' a belt.
