That also happens out in the ocean where 2 currents come together, if your ship is in the wrong place at the wrong time 1700 tons of steel can catch some air, it’s a wild ride.
This was also a problem in the 80's with an underfilled water bed and a heffer that didn't have any rhythm.

Absolutely spectacular camera work right there. This deserves to be a winning entry on a photo competition. Perfect timing and the WAR FACE that she is wearing couldn't better suit the atmosphere.

Went to Manzanillo when I was in 5th grade. I thought all beaches had waves that broke like that. Little did I know. We did body surf and boogie board. You could see HUGE fish in the wave prior too breaking. Me and my buddy were scared of it until my stepfather went out and body surfed it. Never have seen a break like again. It would break and tube it both directions. Perfectly. The black sand was hot as shit and it was before everyone knew about it. I think right before the movie 10 was released.

 
Are you kidding me? I'm still on the low hanging fruit and haven't even broken out the........ WHOA !!!!!!!

*ouch*

You got that right. That's an absolutely gorgeous hollow point coming out of that barrel! Smoking hot!

What???? And I mean WHAT would possess anyone with the slightest bit of sense that God gave a Chicken, to shoot themselves in the nuts with a 12 guage flare gun? This is it, huh, we're doomed. It's over, I'm opening that bottle I've been saving, I'll be alone reflecting on the "human condition". Just don't bother me, im, ah duh ............................................
 
The trigger isn't pulled back, no rifling on the bullet, etc etc etc...
Beautiful girl, crappy photoshop job...

I see it now...Damn. The slide part caught me first and I was still trying to suspend disbelief until I took a closer took at the other details. Got me there, that one has.
 
I don't mind squirrels. My biggest complaints with nature are:
1) Ticks
2) Chiggers
3) Mosquitos
4) Skunks
5) racoons - those little bastards are anything but cute and cuddly. Where I come from we call them trash pandas and bandits.
Try living down here in Australia....

Ah, the story of how Viking warrior princess Helga The Noseless got her name :ROFLMAO:

On a serious note though, a few years ago I was just fucking around trying some pinpoint accuracy shooting with my PGU survival bow. Wasn't paying too much attention to how close my bow-bracing arm was to the string. Going for rubix-cube sized wooden block at 10 yards.

I killed the cube all right, but it required a sacrifice of some blood and skin from my left arm. It. Fucking. HURT. Felt like a power grinder when that string buzzed down my arm. I've been bowhunting since I was very young. And I still had to be taught some shit that day.
 
Savage-North Model 1861 .36 caliber percussion revolver. A partial double-action design, the main loop trigger advances the cylinder and cocks the hammer, while the smaller trigger fires the weapon. Only a few production models were made. They were carried by some Union naval officers during the war:

I watched one of these change hands at the Tulsa show a few years ago for $40,000 cash... They usually sell for about $2K - 3K... but this one had some provenance (that I was not privy to)... that made it one heck of a desirable gun for someone!

Wow. That particular one must have been owned by a famous officer or something along the lines.

In any auction, oddballs like the Savage, ANY configuration LeMats, and French Lefaucheaux pinfire revolvers immediately catch peoples' attention. They are absolutely sought after by everyone.
