This week's sign of the impending Sharkopalypse

[captainsblog]

With all the other stuff going on this week, my social media connections have been minimal, and usually middle-of-night or shortly after, here at feeding_time@zoo.com.  Friday morning? Despite all going on in the world- Trayvon trial, Texas tampons, all make and manner of sports and entertainment- almost my entire Facebook Wall was devoted to one thing:



Every Hollywood legend, from Scorcese to even Spielberg, must be WTFing at this sudden reaction to one of the B-est of B-movies made this century.  Even this morning, a day and a half after its twistery airing (and a good five days before Skiffy will air it again), it remains the top entertainment story on Google News and pretty much took over Twitter.

With Tara Reid as the headliner, yet.

I got going with a request for other creative efforts to cash in on this trend:

Shakespeare: "A shark, a shark, my kingdom for a shark."

Puzo: "Leave the shark. Take the cannoli."

Heston: "Let my people GO, you damned dirty shark!"

Others quickly joined in:

Eastwood: "Do ya feel lucky? Well do ya, shark?"

Gable: "Frankly my shark, I don't give a damn."

Duvall: "I love the smell of sharks in the morning."

Nimoy: "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the shark."
----

"Soylent Green is sharks!! Soylent Green is sharks!!"

"Say hello to my leetle shark."

"I ate him with some fava shark and a nice chianti."

"Shark moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."

Another old friend added in the lyrics to Mack the Knife, which work pretty well, too.

So. You got any? Winner gets a free candygram;)

I feel like this thread needs some Wizard of Oz quotes, for the twister connection if nothing else.

Dorothy: "Lions, tigers, and sharks, oh my!"

Dorothy: "Weren't you frightened?"
Wizard of Oz: "Frightened? Child, you're talking to a man who's laughed in the face of sharks, sneered at doom, and chuckled at catastrophe... I was petrified."

Wicked Witch of the West: "The last to go will see the first three go before her. And her little shark too!"

I think the image here for "Sharknado" would make terrific packaging for a new line of tampons. For "heavy flow" days.
