| A lifeguard A government employee? Fits right in with jihad, doesn't it? in Santa Barbara, Calif., is recovering Wednesday after being attacked by a sea lion in the waters off El Capitan State Beach. Officials said Jim West was bitten three times Monday while he swam about 50 yards offshore. West needed about 30 stitches after the attack. "He's lucky," Bitten hard enough to require 30 stitches is "lucky?" I'll remain "unlucky," thank you. witness Eric Gatti said. "He was lucky to be alive. If he wasn't swimming, and he wasn't a lifeguard, he might have been cut up more." Beachgoers have now been warned to steer clear of sea lions. And sharks, and rip-tides, and tar globules, and storm drain runoff, and... To think I actually used to surf there. "What are the chances of that happening again?" beach visitor Holly Hopkins said. "I mean you never hear about that happening. Sharks, yeah, but not sea lions." Authorities say there have only been about 10 sea lions attacks on humans along the West Coast in the last century. |

| #1 The "Food Chain" thingy seems to be a bit jumbled lately. Prolly cuz of all this ubersensitivity / PETA BS. I like it at the top. I think I'll stay there - and kill anything that fucks with me. Darwinian measures should be applied. Future generations of these confused species will eschew shallow waters, if done correctly. |
