Have Courage and Be Kind

me the first time i saw this: oh sure that's fun ig

TIL a 19 year old man dove 85 feet into the ocean to wrestle an 80 pound octopus with a 9 foot diameter to the surface in a 25 minute epic battle in which he punched the octopus subduing it after it turned red and lunged at him tearing off his respirator. He drove it home, cooked it up, and ate it.

It somehow gets crazier. this teenager trained for months. he staged fights in his parents’ swimming pool to train for this epic match. he choose halloween night for the final showdown. and it was for a school project. he could have chosen any seafood, but he decided on, in his own words, “that big fucking octopus.” magnificent bastard. 

Y’all missed the part where he dragged it ashore and divers saw him, got upset and sent some pretty rough stuff to his family. Then, at the Washington Fish and Wildlife meeting, he showed up and was like “yeah, it should be protected.” 

Octopus wrestling actually used to be a popular sport in Washington - the world championships were held by the Tacoma Narrows Bridge (location of some of the largest specimens ever found) through the 1950′s and 1960′s. Most of them didn’t involve killing the octopus and would release the animal back into the Salish Sea after it was measured and weighed.

Mutuals feel free to pick me up and drop me off in front of prime real estate that’s all mine

"going out to get milk" is a common turn of phrase used to describe a man abandoning his family.

Me: *agonizing over whether a semicolon goes here, what the proper dialogue should be there, other assorted rules and semantics*
