“Global warming IS the reason…” So exclaims a local TV reporter as a “sharknado” approaches Los Angeles in a new movie on Syfy. Global warming is such a joke it now plays the part of boogeyman in low-budget science fiction movies… right alongside giant ants, time-traveling dinosaurs, and vampires.

It looks like all you guys got your punny bone whacked today.
There's something fishy about a globull warming related tornado strong enough to pull a 2000 pound shark out of the water.
Yeah, I smelt something fishy, too.
A little slow on the uptake today, I groaned the third time around.
Best we skate off- maco clean getaway and watch some Orca Winfrey... let the pros look into the manta. I don't mean to bait you, chum.
That's a mess of crappie.
Better than being in a pickerel.
Holy mackerel, you guys sure are carping about this. Just for the halibut eel be on my way before I flounder.
Nice!!!!
That's for creel!
It's been a tuna fun, but it's time for me to move on.
Sure. No more fish puns possible right now. You did your best!
I might cast a few in a roe... if you catch egg-zactly what I'm saying.
Well... I stand corrected. There was one more in you!
So it's done- we should just put the tarpon it?
Anemone will move on. No time to clown around.
No need to get Pacific.
I sea what you did there.
Whale said King Salmon Stinkfoot.
From my perch atop the Great Pun Throne, it appears to be abat quantity versus quality.
Win or lose, it's an upstream battle worth waging. I think all sides did swimmingly.
Fins to the left. Fins to the right. Feeding frenzy recorded LIVE on IHTM tonight.
"I schooled him" Nice! That was good. I just think that Stinkfoot had a bit of an edge. Maybe it is a draw then. :-D
Some may sea your point but let's just celebrate the age of aquarium.
Are you kidding? I schooled him!
I am thinking stinkfoot won this, fin down.
@stinkfoot
You off the hook! No one will catch you.
I see through your fa-seal attempt at a dignified exit.
I see you all can't take any moray. I'll just hum Salmon Chanted Evening and leave you buoys and gills alone.
Trust me, I won't completely clam up.
Woah!!!! this is fun
I agree that it was likely done on porpoise.
Nice! JP you got serious competition here
There is no competition - my pun talent is a blessing from cod.
Wow! This is like championship challenger stuff right here.
So they start with fish then go into insects then back to fish...these guys are flip-floppity. Must work for the government.
Ah! That is so true. You have a point.
Yes- no competition... a peace offering- bouquet of flounders?
Yes, peace, by all means. I wish you whale.
Nice.
What exactly is a sharknado anyway? Is like some big, wet, toothy, fishy, waterspout come on to dry land and eat everything in sight and go back to sea, well Hell, that sounds like Hillary Clinton or the Wookie maybe. Oh sorry, that's Jump the Shark.
Large Haboobs, so big they smother you, would have been a much more believable result of global warming.
http://twistedsifter.com/2013/01/photos-of-haboobs-dust-storms/
Aw hell. When you said "haboobs" I thought you posted a picture of some bodacious boobies. Around here we call those little things dust devils, which blow through pretty regularly.
LOL
Haboobs are one thing and they are pretty scary, but that horrible picture of a sharknado JPTravis showed me was even more horrifying!
There's lots of spinning (because it's a tornado) and lots of teeth (because of the sharks). Here's a photo of one: http://a57.foxnews.com/www.foxnews.com/images/309402/450/350/1_21_clinton_hillary_smiling.jpg
OMG that was horrible, don't ever show me that horrible sharknado picture again!
Y'all won't believe this: http://redalertpolitics.com/2013/07/12/sebelius-stockman-tweet-about-sharknados-relationship-with-obamacare/
Does Obama pick his appointees based on their abject stupidity?
YES
Do you really have to ask that question JP?
Many on Twitter are saying that this is the moment that Sharknado jumped the shark.
Sorry to play devil's advocate here, but I was alive throughout the seventies during the "global cooling" period and there were ZERO fatalities due to any Sharknados. Not one. Look it up if you don't believe me.
And when your movement needs Sharknado to make a point, you're already losing the argument.
What were those things falling out of the sky then, purple people eaters? Since it was the '70's there may have been a little narcotic ingestion going on at the time. (snicker)
That's why we had LandSharks back in the late 70s early 80s, water was too cold.
You must think like I do, Ghost, for I was going to say one could get away from a sharknado but how does one get away from a landshark? Landsharks deliver pizza and lure you out of your home. I've haddock enough of environmental disaster movies.
Okay so Sharknados actually happened it just that there weren't any fatalities... Aight! The seventies must have been an exciting time. :-D
You did know that was a joke, right?
She knew, and she meant you no eel.
Ah!
Uhm... yes... :-/ I was also joking. I am not stupid.
I thought so, but I have the gift of misinterpretation. Plus my wife constantly reminds me that a) no one gets my jokes because b) they're not funny. Mea culpa.
It is a well known fact that wives have no sense of humor when it comes to their husbands' jokes. I blame it on the wives.
Is all good :-)
You're all mixed up. During global cooling you don't get sharknados, you get musk oxnados and walrusnados. Everybody knows that.
Wait a minute! Am I understanding this correctly?
So now they are blaming the release of tacky, grade B sci-fi movies on global warming too?
No, globull warming is going to make sharks fly like Miss Piggy.
I saw the trailer for this silliness on another site. I'm an old sci-fi nut, The Outer Limits is a favorite along with Lost in Space, but I have to say this is the dumbest movie ever filmed. Even Ed Wood would be embarassed by this nonsense.
Hey, I love horrible movies, the ones that are so bad they're funny.
And Plan 9 is a really good bad one, they have their work cut out for them.
Ever watch The Gatling Gun? Hilarious. The Indians keep charging over hill and over dale at the soldiers - ten minute charges that seem to take forever - while the gatling gun mows them down like wheat. Then when they finally reach the soldiers and hard-earned success is at hand, they turn and retreat in pandemonium. They do this over and over until you wonder how there can be a live Indian left anywhere on the planet. Nobody is more racist than a Hollywood movie maker... which is the point I tried to make with today's J.P.'s Moment of Common Sense: Nasty Tonto and the sorry state of race relations in America.
Damn, my new screen saver puppy ate that link, wonder if there's any help out there...
LOL, isn't this where that drb usually jumps in?

I really looked forward to seeing The Lone Ranger but I've heard such bad things. Disney is so leftist now. Walt Disney, a conservative man, is probably spinning in his grave.
Here's a piece of trivia: did you know the Green Hornet is the Lone Ranger's nephew's son?
In real life? *confused*
No, the Green Hornet is not a real life character. Sheesh. Didn't you just claim to be smart? On the old Lone Ranger radio show they decided to capitalize on the show's success by spinning off a modern-day masked vigilante, so they took the Lone Ranger's nephew, gave him a son, and made him the Green Hornet. (I just learned that yesterday.)
I was thinking you meant the actor that played the Green Hornet (handsome yummy!) was the Lone Ranger actor's nephew's son... So the LR actor was the GH actor's uncle.
So basically the Green Hornet is a distant relative of the Lone Ranger's within that fictional world. Got it! Thanks.
Now I'm confused.
Wow....
It would apiary mine does too- in higher temperatures though- and it swarm around here.
My interest in puns waxes and wanes.
Just droning on with buzz words.
Had to comb through your dictionary for that one, didn't you, honey?
Possibly but it might have given him hives.
I just wonder if the Green Hornet ever wore a yellow jacket.
I though you meant the actors that played the characters were related. Sorry for the confusion Mr. Puns.
What!? The Green Hornet wasn't a documentary? And Tonto was made up?
Lou Diamond Phillips should have played Tonto and they should have gotten a name actor (not Brad Pitt) to play the Lone Ranger. But that is just IMHO.
I have never seen a Lone Ranger episode but I know about it because a lot of cartoons when I was growing up made a lot of references to it and I didn't know until someone told me.
I do like the Green Hornet though. I love Bruce Lee even though he doesn't say much :-( but the other dude is hot!
I did not know that.
I watched a trailer too. Looks like it will give Plan 9 from Outer Space a run for the worst movie ever.
What are you saying? Sharknados don't really happen?
No puns? *dissapointed*
I was going to throw in a fish pun just for the halibut but restrained myself.
Ah!!! :-D
I couldn't kelp myself.
A fish pun would be fin and dandy but we should really scale back. I'd be singing a happy tuna if it was in the cods. Unfortunately it's not in the cods and I'd need a sturgeon to cure my ill- but like Crowley, I can't afford one because "Carp"orate greed sole all my goldfish.
You really are committed here I like it
There's a building consensus that I really ought to be committed. :)
You got tangled up in that marionette thing too? I loved that old show.
Well JP they can come after me with Annette or she could come by herself.
If that happens, they'll come after you with a net.
Sorry, I'm not feeling very "punny" this evening.
I'M SORRY!!! I didn't know you still believed in flying sharks! I hope I didn't ruin your next ABA convention.
I always thought Corporate Greed was THE reason.
By jove crawley, I believe you have it! Coproate greed forced Al Gore to invent the internet which led to the shortage of fossil fuels, which led to the Obummer inventing the windmill, which kill thousands of endangered birds, which forced millions of cows to fart, which convinced chicken little that the sky was falling when in reality it was thousands of sharks sucked up out of the ocean because of globull warming!
I didn't realize that Rube Goldberg had written an essay on climate science.
This would have been much better than frogs plaguing Egypt.
Sharks are lawyers, not corporations.
They work for corporations though. By finding them more and more loopholes that put them above the law.
What? A semi-coherent statement? Amazing!
Not really. He's just trying to justify his first parrot screech.
1st it has Tera "Oops My Boob" Reid & 90210 Ian Ziering. It's a Bomb.
2nd how about " Golfnado" Danger strike at all the Golf courses that Barry is playing at and chases after him from one golf courses to another till the only way to stop it is for him to stop playing golf all the time. and something he can not do! Stay at the White House all the time. Now that is SYFY!
Looks like a desperation job for the Hollyweird D-Listers.
