At this night time job thing and I'm sitting here in the dark, in my mind. Now I have the giggles because I'm not in my right mind. Wandering around in my left mind thinking about the deep sea. The deep dark black sea. Full of real scary sea creatures, not the ones of my imagination in the light. Eternal night workers. I've done some investigating in the past but usually about the time I find the 3rd or 4th horrible killer 'thing' ....I don't want to have any more information. On a thank goodness note.....they are way way down there. So I'm poking around and I find this creature of the deep. He is familiar, I know this guy. He's a movie star.
This monster might possibly be persuaded to just wander on by. 6 inches of him. We could handle that, right? Not to worry, we can't be bothered. Truly. He hangs out at about 5000 feet below the surface of the water. ....and THAT'S a fine thing. I'm so tempted to tell you about 'double ugly' that's cruising around at 8000 feet. Actually he's not ugly just pretty darned scary. Post note to my WOD diving post. Grouper aren't ugly either, just misunderstood.
Last night I was cave dwelling, tonight I'm on the bottom of the ocean.
OK, I'm tired. Hit enter when I meant to....be back with the real deal in a minute.
ReplyDeletelol. where are his goggles? the double ugly sound intriguing...
ReplyDeleteIsn't that thing an Angler Fish? AKA Big Scary Monster on Finding Nemo?
ReplyDeleteThis is why I've never scuba dived, because in my heart of hearts I believe the scary dudes who live at the bottom of the ocean would swim upwards, on a whim, exactly when I was cruising around at 60' below sea level.
ReplyDeleteAnd devour me!
Hope you get your biorhythms re-adjusted. Sitting in the dark is OK for awhile, but not forever!
Things go blind in the dark. When my daughter comes in and finds me sitting in the dark at my computer she chides me. Mom! turn on the light, you're going to ruin your eyes. And on it goes. I just shrug.
ReplyDeleteEEEEK! Scary dude indeed! I'm glad you have the giggles!
ReplyDeleteOohhhh too creepy. Too creepy for 9 am, nope too creepy. No thank you. Creepy.
ReplyDeleteYou are like the Beach Boys (do you know the words to "get around"?)
ReplyDeleteOMG, Boomka. I made (1st.) beer batter waffles that Sat. in your honor. A slew (batches, bunches 'a murder') to freeze.
ReplyDeleteellen I do that too. computer in the semi-dark. ??hmm??
yea...biorhythms, Reya I can't even go there, had no idea.
I'm headed for another dark side tonight Daryl.
Brian and Meeko pegged our star. The villian in Nemo, a Black Dragonfish. Perfect character actor.
Rain I know for a fact your skunk could just get the better of me. That's scary.
ReplyDeleteyeah, most of those deep sea creatures are damn scary!
ReplyDeletebut then I remember some of the ones I encounter diving look freaky too (moray eels, congers anyone?) and are virtually harmless... unless you go sticking you hand in their mouth or pulling their tails...
