I know Trent blogged this the other day but the video came out today and it’s incredible. I feel like the Jaws theme should have been playing right up until the explosion. So much suspense.

You’ve got a bunch of rednecks with explosives and guns in the woods / a dude swimming in the water with a big ole “Beach Closed” sign posted right behind him

duunnn dunnn… duuuunnnn duun …

GI Billy Joe unloads the first mag and steps 50 feet closer / winces as the salt water washes over his very recent papercut

duunnn dunnn… duuuunnnn duun …

He reloads and posts up about 50 feet from his homemade lawncare crotch rocket / a shark fin passes behind him and he doesn’t notice. He just keeps paddling out.

duuunnnnnnnn dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun dun. dunnnnnnnnnnn dunnnn. 

Then, WHAM. You’ve got yourself a John Deere / shark attack on  your hands. All of a sudden this guy is pegged for pirate costumes for the rest of his life. Who could’ve seen that coming? I seriously want to know how much closer this dude would have gotten if the lawnmower kept not exploding. I picture him standing on top of it, ripping cigs, shooting at it point blank with a shotgun, and wondering out loud if Skeeter sold him some duds.

 

P.S. The moment where he yells “I blew my leg off! Oh, motherfucker” is some harrowing shit. One “going into shock” please and thank you kindly.
