I pulled one of the dumbest stunts anybody could do, to prove a point to some fat ass

abolish the weak · Jul 3, 2008

This is stupid, but it's too funny not to share. Yesterday I was at a convention for work down at the beach. Well everybody was about to go swimming and I pulled my shirt off to also jump in. Big mistake, because nobody would STFU about it all day. Dont get me wrong, I like bodybuilding, but I hate constantly hearing shit about it. All day long it was "gay bodybuilder" this, HGH that, . You know, stupid shit people always say to us. So these fat guys were all talking and they're wives were gaulkin' anyways they were trying to tell me that nobody could swim across this channel in the ocean and reach the other beach. This channel was probably 2 miles across, the people looked like dots on the other side. I finally got fed up with they're shit and told them I was going to prove them wrong. I coerced this one guy who used to be on the swim team to do it too, so we set off on our journey. Only thing we had for a floatation device was a pool noodle,hahaha. So about 2 hrs later we hit the other side. It was one of the most relaxing and coolest experiences I've ever had. It was so peaceful out there in the middle of the water just swimming away!! Well the current began to pick up, waves got bigger, so we decided not to try and swim back, we waved down some chick on a boat to give a us a ride back. She told us we were a couple of dumbasses, because where we swam across was one of the best shark fishing holes on the east coast, oops!! I'll never do that again, but it felt good to shut those fat hairy bastards up, hahahha. Next time I'm leaving my shirt on, hearing all that shit was cool when I was 18, but damn it gets old. It's like yes i lift weights, thanks, now shut up about it!!

QCR · Jul 3, 2008

Anti_hero · Jul 3, 2008

Fuck That

My father taught me to always be proud of your accomplishments no matter how trivial they may be. You'll encounter skeptics and haters every step of the way. It's their job to keep you moving in the right direction. Be sure to thank them for doing their job and continue on your path (which actually blows someones mind when you're genuinely thankful for them doubting you). I'm proud of my hard work and the years of effort I've put forth. Nobody could ever make me feel embarrassed or uncomfortable about what I've done and have yet to achieved. This situation is exactly where intelligence and a badass reputation come into play. The intelligence to shut them up with counter funny mean/ yet still classy comments and having the reputation that if they say anything more than once or say anything at all they'll for surely get their ass handed to them. The more you show them it bothers you the more they will harass you, just like children sadly enough. I'll admit sometimes it may feel kinda funny when one woman asks you to flex around 10 other guys but fuck that too, while we bust our asses most are playing x-box and WOW. Smile, thank them and continue on to the next hater.

you know, it was pretty weird because as I was swimming I felt as if I could go on forever, but as soon as I hit land my legs felt like jello. One of my good friends is big into deep sea fishing, he told me somebody was eaten by a shark last week right around where I was swimming, nice. I feel even dumber now. But that is exactly the place he shark fishes all the time, he always catches shit too. God dang I'm stupid as fuck

oldfella · Jul 4, 2008

Next time just come back with a big ass shark slung over your shoulder and tell them "This dumbass wanted to race me". And flop the shark down at their feet, then say "NEXT"!!

Now that I think about it, I seriously think I'd rather be attacked by a bear than a shark. At least with a bear you could see what was coming at you, with a shark you wouldn't know shit until your leg was ripped off. And sharks swim so frikken fast too, you could have one bump you and you wouldn't know what it was, the mouth is what'd scare the shit out of me, or seeing a fin coming towards me, fuk I'm an idiot!

Powerstrokin · Jul 4, 2008

LMAO.. I think i would sh!t my pants if i was way out there and seen a shark fin next to me. I would figure out a way to run across water.. You Sir are very lucky..

Skip · Jul 4, 2008

I like to see insecure people get there's on occasion just like the rest of us but the truth really is that it was probably your own insecurity that caused you to swim into shark infested waters putting yourself in harms way. I'm not hatin' on ya, bro. Just telling you that if you really think about what you did, it wasn't terribly bright.

DarkWarrior · Jul 4, 2008

The difference between those that talk shit and those that are the shit is simply setting a goal and achieving it! Now if you would have swam it mostly under water you probably would have shit, so just notch it up as something you did and no one else would have!
Not dumb in any way, shape or form because you accomplished what you set out to do!
Would have, could have, obviously didnt happen.....you can sit and say all kinds of different scenarios that might have occured but in the end its all just speculation.

some of the best stories come from choices that weren't the wisest. this is a great one. (no disrespect intended at all. I've done something VERY similar...more than once

) thanks for sharing.

not to hijack (feel free to ignore what follows)...
for any of you knowledgeable about marine life/shark behavior: Do you think the fact that he was so relaxed and unaware of the potential danger had an effect on his safe passage through "shark infested" waters? I swam offshore to where I could see sharks in water below me (in an area where there were shark attacks near the beach), inclined to panic and haul ass back to shore BUT forced myself to stay calm and essentially surrender to potential outcomes, and swam back to land unharmed. OR MAYBE THEY JUST WEREN'T HUNGRY.

Sharks have a notorious distaste for all things Cajun.
