  • kingjafee, on 08/11/2008, -2/+9I told Stringray not to struggle we just wanted to take him back to shore to show our wives that we were actually workin this time just not out on the boat gettin Navy friendly again, but he just wouldn't listen and started throwing racial slurs at us .

    So we had to kill him.

  • Keyhole, on 08/12/2008, -0/+7Look a little closer at the picture, it's not a stingray!

    It's a MANTA ray!
    Manta rays can grow up to 20 feet across and are pretty close to being put on the endangered species list!
