Feb 11, 2009: Stuffed Skate

xoxoxoBruce · 02-11-2009, 12:03 AM

Skates, a fish in the Ray family, are bottom dwellers, which is much deeper than Cellar dwellers.
They may be deeper in other ways too, but I digress.

They're carnivorous, feeding mostly on smaller fish and crustaceans that also make it to the bottom of the ocean.
What else makes it to the bottom? Trash.

This fisherman hauls up a Skate that looks a little lumpy, so he opens it up...

And what to his wondrous eyes does appear...
A digital camera
A book of some sort
A large bottle
A pack of smokes (I think)
A piece that looks like a foil packet for a condom...
or Alka Seltzer, which would make sense considering the rest.

Do they use Skate for sushi?

This picture came from a site called WarNet.ws which would indicate Samoa, but it's all in Russian. It's also NSFW around the edges.

Hey...that must be the one that cleaned up after our boat capsized!

xoxoxoBruce · 02-11-2009, 12:18 AM

OK, so tell us, alka seltzer or condom?

Aliantha · 02-11-2009, 12:20 AM

Well it's hard to know since it happened on a camping trip.

There's usually call for both.

Leokins · 02-11-2009, 12:24 AM

wonder if the camera still works... maybe theres an sd card with pictures

Brianna · 02-11-2009, 01:39 AM

Um...I'm gonna spew. One more reason to hate the creatures of the sea.* YICK.

*except the dolphin!

ZenGum · 02-11-2009, 05:11 AM

So, it ate a teenager who was out for a party...

SPUCK · 02-11-2009, 05:28 AM

No, A japanese tourist!

ZenGum · 02-11-2009, 05:47 AM

I'd expect more Hello Kitty merchandise. And more than one camera.

(also, the book looks more Chinese than Japanese to me, FWIW).

BobT · 02-11-2009, 06:27 AM

and that pack of smokes.....still PERFECT....not crushed at all!...from the ocean bottom?....and seems to be located somewhere inside the fish between the outside of its stomach and inside the wall of its body....hmmmmm

If it weren't for the pictures, I'd say we were looking at date night for Bruce, minus the rubber glove :-)

HungLikeJesus · 02-11-2009, 09:26 AM

How do you know it wasn't a land skate?

Shawnee123 · 02-11-2009, 09:33 AM

Good point, but I didn't see any candy wrappers.

WillieO · 02-11-2009, 09:46 AM

It's not a land skate! There's no wheels and no skate key on a shoestring around it's neck.
