Ugh. Not safe for lunch.

exick		2004-01-29 12:57:32 PM

Gnarly. Looking at that truck, it makes me wonder what I would think if I saw a truck carting a huge whale carcass around the city. Methinks I might be a bit disoriented.

Guttrpunk		2004-01-29 01:41:18 PM

disoriented? Terrible pun. Did the Vespa come out of the whale too?

OsirisOTheDead		2004-01-29 03:16:57 PM

Now that's just plain nasty.

Spacemarinekilla		2004-01-29 03:30:21 PM

Looks yummy. I've been waiting for a pic like this since I read the story in the first place.

vendaz		2004-01-29 03:38:28 PM

This reminds me of that Dave Barry article about the exploding whale: With video!

I'd hate to be the owner of that Vespa in the pic...

Cosmic_Music		2004-01-29 03:42:24 PM

Gutsy.

Jules_Winnfield		2004-01-29 03:53:36 PM

mmmmmmmm ambergris

earthrhino		2004-01-29 04:13:10 PM

I guess that scientist was right about that mysterious, gooey blob that washed up on shore last summer. Pic looks exactly like it.

D B Cooper		2004-01-29 04:18:57 PM

Mmmmmm..... sushiatailgate party

Craphola		2004-01-29 04:26:01 PM

In other news:

Classifieds:

One Vespa for sale, Taiwan.

May require moderate cleaning.

andonbray		2004-01-29 04:44:55 PM

I hope that there aren't any outdoor cafes nearby. Something like this might be bad for business.

SuburbanCowboy		2004-01-29 05:07:55 PM

Sounds like a job for the Wolf.

Calmamity		2004-01-29 10:16:07 PM

"Do you see a sign on my street that says 'Dead Whale Storage?!'"

Do you!!?"

TheOther		2004-01-29 10:50:35 PM

Did they find a Titleist?

Warchild		2004-01-29 11:03:05 PM

I'm gonna miss Rosie...

1.21Gigawatts		2004-01-29 11:09:52 PM

i'd hit it.

WizardX		2004-01-29 11:09:55 PM

In other news, a large bowl of petunias which exploded nearby was unavailable for comment.

HowlingFrog		2004-01-29 11:10:05 PM

This Rocks...

Kaymon		2004-01-29 11:10:55 PM

They couldn't have wrapped that thing up before hauling it through a city?

Outshined		2004-01-29 11:12:05 PM

Best comment from original thread: better 50 tons of sperm whale than 50 tons of whale sperm.

gtv42		2004-01-29 11:12:15 PM

Nice, WizardX
"Not again..."

Hyernel		2004-01-29 11:12:31 PM

Ruptured O-ring!

Prospero424		2004-01-29 11:12:49 PM

That must be the most God-AWFUL smell ever smelled by anyone's smeller.

teabag bandit		2004-01-29 11:14:20 PM

Oh man, I just ate and then saw this link. I had to look.

/bleah!

HowlingFrog		2004-01-29 11:15:10 PM

My smeller smells smellier smells than most smeller's smellers.

Isn't there a higher res pic somewhere? This would be great photoshop material.

flyin1		2004-01-29 11:15:57 PM

unbelievable.

findthefish		2004-01-29 11:16:27 PM

It's funny because it's true...

three/four-letter-expletive		2004-01-29 11:18:40 PM

I'd like to get inside those intestines and play hide and seek.

cjsmith11878		2004-01-29 11:18:52 PM

HAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH.

Death_Toll		2004-01-29 11:19:21 PM

That is so cool.

priestholmes		2004-01-29 11:20:03 PM

Why the hell were they transporting it like that? Its tailfin is dragging on the street.

How funny would that be to drive along side.

Valari		2004-01-29 11:24:56 PM

When does the Tartar sauce truck arrive?

Mike_Bolton		2004-01-29 11:25:33 PM

"Giant Sperm whale held in connection for worlds largest bukkake. Released after Peter North Surrenders".

Vandal7000		2004-01-29 11:31:50 PM

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4096586/

this article is better because it includes a part at the end which talks about Asians being in awe of the whale's massive penis; further emphasizing the belief that asians have small ones.

ScubaDoo		2004-01-29 11:33:54 PM

"In other news, a large bowl of petunias which exploded nearby was unavailable for comment."

I thought it said "Oh no...not again!"

elchip		2004-01-29 11:36:28 PM

Aww, but I wuv the little fishies...

Aww...

Aww...

Aww...

And don't get me started on this "Whales aren't fish" thing...

El_Swino		2004-01-29 11:36:37 PM

Man, the poor bastard on the scooter still in the foreground must've had quite a surprise. I'd pay good money to see the look on his face when a fetid wave of decomposing whale guts spewed towards him...

Outshined		2004-01-29 11:38:44 PM

The stench of large amounts of decaying flesh is enough to make you instantaneously retch and vomit. It's horrible.

/grew up on a farm

RockIsDead		2004-01-29 11:39:35 PM

Where's the bikini gut wrestlers when you need them? That pile of slop is just calling for playtime fun.

shadow9		2004-01-29 11:40:07 PM

it died on my birthday! hooray for dead whale birthdays! *gets fork*

freakemart		2004-01-29 11:40:41 PM

So they finally got the guts to put up a picture, eh?

/towing a bag full of nothing

SavaThePriest		2004-01-29 11:42:41 PM

elchip-

*"Whales aren't fish" thing goes here*

vjp		2004-01-29 11:47:38 PM

"Note to self - do not haul decomposing whale carcasses through major metropolitan areas."

Leave that shiat in the water for the sharks to take care of.

Alex Chilton		2004-01-29 11:51:17 PM

And I said, "Easy, big fella"

broccoli		2004-01-29 11:52:45 PM

...dinner is served.

batmn42		2004-01-29 11:52:56 PM

AwwwwwwwooooOOOHHH MY GOD!!! IT'S EATING ME ALIVE!!!

Richard_Gozinya		2004-01-29 11:52:59 PM

I'll have to update my checklist:

1. Never give personal information over the phone unless you placed the call.
2. Never stand under a tree in a thunderstorm.
3. Never park a moped across the street from a dead whale.
