A great white shark that's been tagged by researchers was spotted off the Jersey Shore on Friday evening. The shark, whose name is Hilton, pinged about 60 miles off Atlantic City at 9:21 p.m. The 12-foot, 1,300 pound male shark was tagged by OCEARCH, a science research organization that tags sharks and monitors their travel.

Feed the shark the cast from "Jersey Shore" although all the 'roids and silscone might make the shark sick.

How could it be a “New” shark if it already has been tagged?

If you go to the researchers who tag the shark they reel it into a boat and then tag it.

We were down in Lavallette one year and their were guys fishing at night. They were catching sand sharks and striped yellow bass. Right on the beach! Gave me the inspiration to paint one of the guys fishing in the earlier part of the day. Btw, see those clouds this was the week before Sandy. I found the clouds ominous.

Why do they call White sharks "Great," but not Black sharks?

I sense a bit of racism.

Naming a great white shark?

“Hilton ate a swimmer today, and people are holding a vigil tonight to protect Hilton from those who wish to hunt him.”

I hear most of the taggers are nicknamed "lefty"...

"I'm in Jersey? Cool! Where's Christie?"

"Ah HA!"

Time to ask Ned. Here's one of his calls.

I sense a bit of racism.
= = = = = = = = = = = = = =
How about Asphalt.
A name for it is BLACKTOP.

Only problem is that a good portion of the pavement markings are White.
So that could be construed as White is keeping Black down.
To make it worse, when it comes to pavement markings, what isn’t White is more than likely Yellow.

So that means that the White Man in charge of Blacktop not only holds the Black Man down with White, it also says Yellow is superior and we ALL know that yellow means Chinese or those other Asians (can’t say Oriental any more BUT can the Westerners still be considered Occidentals or is that Accidental??)

It gets so confusing sometimes.

Tomorrow we will have a lesson on BLACKBOARDS and the use of ANY color but BLACK to write on same board.

Definitely MORE RACISM.

It keeps springing up around us so fast it is hard to keep up. Better start printing scorecards.
