1. So THAT'S where Grandpa's dentures went! eom

[tanyev]

2. A Texas man with human-like teeth! Wow!

;)

[smokey nj]

42. .......

:rofl:

[tanyev]

47. If'n I warn't already hitched up, I might try 'n find that feller!

[tuvor]

3. I usually catch 'em with a fishing rod.

I know of a table for sale by a lady with wooden legs, too.

[bbinacan]

11. Huh?

I don't understand what you're saying.

[tuvor]

31. Bornagainhooligan in #19 is a little more clear than I was.

[bbinacan]

34. Call me dense

and I've had a few beers. I still don't get it. Help needed on this subject. Thanks.

[tuvor]

46. It boils down to ambiguity.

(And if this doesn't help, well, I've had a few glasses of wine. :))

Who's got the wooden legs? The table, or the woman?

I'm sorry that it probably wasn't worth all of your efforts to understand. :blush:

[Yupster]

48. Famous case of baseball announcing

The balls hit deep to left.

Winfield's going back, back, back, he leaps and hits his head on the wall. It's rolling back toward second base.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

19. I know of a modifier owned by a guy that's dangling.

What was the name of the other leg?

[CatWoman]

20. you guys can be such a bunch of smart asses

:D

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

23. ha!

:P

[knowbody0]

4. did he eat the fish?

[saltpoint]

5. I think the heat may be getting to me. I read the subject line and

thought the man was using his teeth to catch fish.

Evidently that's not the case.

[Blaukraut]

7. lol, so did I n/t

[TomInTib]

17. You wouldn't believe how bad-ass those fish (pacu) can be

see #14

[saltpoint]

30. No kidding. They definitely look like they mean business.

[TomInTib]

36. Had them in a tank with an Aruwana

you can see them here:
http://www.aquariumfish.net/catalog_pages/wild/arowanas.htm

Mine was about 30" long in a 1200 gallon aquarium. I was crazy about fish back then. Addiction knows no bounds.
Man, that aquarium rocked. I had Nile Catfish, Caimans, Alligator Gar, all sorts of vicious stuff. But it found its own balance (after I pissed away several thousands of dollars on fish who couldn't hold their own).

[saltpoint]

41. Whoa, Tom. That's some serious tank you're talkin' there.

Caimans!?!? That's worth another 'whoa' right there.

Don't apologize for an addiction like that. Those are amazing creatures you named. No apologies needed.

[TomInTib]

44. Oh, it got worse...

I had a tank that was 30 feet long, 6 feet high, and 6 feet deep (front to back) in my house in Houston.

Set it up like a Texas stream. Bass, Crappie, Catfish, Snapping Turtles, Cottonmouth, another Gar, old tires, beer bottles, car fender ('58 Chevy, front right - just about the only body part not destroyed in a classic HotRod crash-and-burn. Man, I loved that car.), etc. Had a current that ran right-to-left.

That turtle would eat out of my hand.

I pretty much steered clear of the Water Moccasin.

[saltpoint]

49. That's just unbelievably good. It IS like a Texas stream.

I have to tell you, though, I blank out when someone brings in cottonmouths. I have a LOT of respect for those rascals.

A moccasin will freeze me in my tracks faster than anything. I'd as soon cross paths with a puma than deal with a cotton mouth.

[jobycom]

6. Darwin Fish! Let's put the human baby fish against the God gator!

Well, wait, the gator would just eat him. That's not really what I meant.

[karlrschneider]

8. That might put a crimp in the local noodling industry down there...

:D :D :D

[tuvor]

9. A human-animal hybrid!

Run away!

[karlrschneider]

10. A REAL Texan would use his own teeth to catch the damn fish

:evilgrin:
:D

[TomInTib]

12. It's a pacu..

I had several of them in an aquarium. Probably weighed 3 pounds, each.

Cousin of the piranha.

Let those babies loose in a North American lake and they will eat everything.

I used to feed fish, mice, and rats to mine. They would even eat small birds.

[moobu2]

13. Probably some invasive feral fish from some exotic place

that’ll end up killing all the native fishes. Happens all the time in Florida.

[freethought]

29. It's from South America

To the natives down there it's known as a 'tambaqui' (I,m guessing at the spelling), more commonly known as a pacu,as a previous post said. It can get pretty big, 40-50 pounds or more.
The reason for the teeth is for eating nuts and fruits of all things. When the Amazon basin floods it heads into forests to eat nuts, fruit, and other items that fall from trees. It may look like a a piranha on steroids but it is actually pretty harmless. Still, it is not an indigenous species to Texas and was likely put there by some nitwit.

14. it's a pacu

from South America

[stevedeshazer]

28. No way!

That's my boss! :)

[DoYouEverWonder]

35. He really needs to cut back on the cigs

they're turning his teeth black.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

15. Someone let a pacu go free

My brother had one of these in a tank when I was a kid... it hated me and used to stike the glass when I walked by the tank...

[hippiechick]

16. ... a BRITISH fish, no less !

:rofl: I couldn't resist ...

[CatWoman]

22. ROFL!!!

:rofl:

[Crunchy Frog]

21. I've caught some ocean fish here in the Keys that had some

very strange looking teeth, some resembling human uppers or lowers. There are some really odd looking creatures swimming around in the ocean, believe me!

[CatWoman]

25. if you look at the story

the tv station is giving rewards for other fish like that.

:hi:

[tinfoilinfor2005]

40. The parrot fish has an upper plate that is a fused beak

so it looks a lot like Milton Berle.

:hi:

[tridim]

24. Buh duh, nuh nuh.. nuh nuh.. nuh nuh.. nowwwwww..

Y'all shouldn't be performin' unnatural acts with fish ya'hear?

[CatWoman]

26. Rick Santorum

is that you?

:D

[Cocoa]

27. the video made me feel sorry for the fish

:-(

[Jackpine Radical]

32. Definitely a pacu.

Lookit:




PACU
Although it belongs in the piranha family, the pacu (Piaractus brachypomus) is not as agressive as its more notorious cousin. However, it has powerful dentition capable of causing serious bites. The danger does not deter the Amazonian fisherman who considers the pacu to be a tasty fish and will be able to fetch a high price at market for his catch. The commercial value of the pacu has led to its consideration as a candidate for aquaculture in the Amazon region.

Pacu possess powerful dentition capable of inflicting a serious bite. However, these fish are not aggressive and possess such teeth possibly to crush seeds that fall from forest plants.

33. Is that some new Republican candidate?

43. I'm disappointed in you, Swampy

I expected a "Get your hands off me, you damned dirty ape" caption from you on this:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

45. It's a Pacu. They have molar-like teeth.

Some asshat bought a cute 2" baby pacu because the asshat working there probably told him it'd only grow to the size of the tank. However, that's a myth and they get to be about 35" or so.

[Catherine Vincent]

50. I told you guys Texans aren't all human!

LOL!

[RagAss]

51. hahahha...more teeth than the guy who caught it......
