Because it WON'T LEAVE MY HEAD

[telophase]

...I pass on to you this mental image, spawned by vito_ecalibur's linkblogging post wherein she points out:

And thanks to the miracle of the Internet, you can now learn how to safely sexually role-play a shark attack in the comfort of your own home.

My response to that was on the order of...

I think my problem with the shark-attack scenario is that I've had way too much experience with bad LARPers or whatnot whose idea of roleplaying was to sneak up to you and whisper "I'm a ninja!" before sneaking off again.

So the scenario, as it unfolds in my brain, starts off with the tension ratcheting higher and higher as the blindfolded partner waits, straining to hear where the other person is, and anticipating the attack ... until the shark leaps onto the bed and shrieks "I'm a shaaaaaarkk!! Raar!!"

Er...apparently I'm really old. First season of SNL there was a recurring skit with Chevy Chase as a LandShark (in shark costume) who would knock on NYC apartment doors pretending to have a candygram, or be the plumber, or deliver flowers. Finally the woman would open the door when he claimed to be a dolphin or something and then he would chomp her head while the theme from JAWS played. It sounds stupid but it was strangely funny.

I remember that! (From re-runs, though, I guess.) It looks like Blazing Saddles is the same era as early SNL... but no relevance to the shark thing, that I can think of...
