YOYOYO 200T! I welcome you to my draft pick… 80 little scaly slimy bastards!
Who? For $5 a cup, you can get four little fish to feed to the huge, black, intimidating, much-scarier-looking-than-they-really-are (and believe me – I don’t use all these adjectives at once for just anyone) bat rays at Sea World, San Diego. You can use your $100 to feed those less fortunate than you and not have to worry that they might go off and buy booze with your money.
Though inevitably, every marine-life-themed park that has a Myliobatis californica specialist (usually a bubbly, jumpy girl with a headset on and and wearing some sort of polo-and-khakis number) who will repeat and repeat the correct way to hold the fish to maximize your bat ray adventure (palm down, fish tail-down inbetween two knuckles so the rays can glide over and vacuum it up through their almost-toothless mouths) someone will always find a way to screw it up. That said, I give you: two frat boys and 1 bat ray.
Nice post! Thanks for the info… Have a nice day!

Not bad, rook. Not bad.
Tinmaker, you are now officially on the clock as of 7:30 a.m. PT.
Get’er done.

The slimy slurping creeps me out. Not to mention … THEY LOOK LIKE THEY HAVE NO EYES! Most unclean!
They look like they’ll just fly onto your face and implant an egg or something like the facehugger from Aliens.
Anyway, other than that, you know, they seem pretty chill.

Also, the headline reminds me of this unholy union

Bat rays remind you of Eddie Murphy playing a myriad of unfunny characters? Hm.. I couldn’t have called that one.

I touched one of these before!! It was really… Slimy… But strangely cool feeling… Is that weird?

I couldn’t find the clip, but when that movie came out, they had this scene where the grandma takes out her dentures in the hot tub. EEEEEEWWWWWWWWW. Thus the headline

Tinmaker, I know some guys who have told me they had similar reactions. But.. I don’t think they were talking about bat rays though…
