MORE DYNAMITE

That was well after my time.
MORE DYNAMITE
As an Oregon resident where KATU is a local TV station, I expect a moment of silence on my behalf for what is a typical action by our state Dept of Transportation. From my days as an Amphib Navy sailor, I have seen large wide tracked equipment operate in sand, so I think they could have successfully buried the creature in place.

That was one whale of an explosion!
Well, what did you expect? A joke about Obama? Rosie O’Donnell or Michael Moore, maybe.
Call some Eskimos. Tell them Christmas dinner is ready.
Okay, move on. Nothing to blubber about.
At least this one was on the beach. I watched a show last night about a whale that was being transported to a research lab in Taiwan. It was strapped to a flat bed truck, stopped at a light in town, when it exploded from decomposition gases. Phew! There was blood and guts all over cars, outdoor stands, and piles of intestines in the street. Good times!
That newsclip from a local station demonstrated to me how much more intelligent television news used to be.

Whale + dynamite is a sure way to generate excitement. You can hear one woman just after the explosion saying...
“Here comes pieces of... whale!”
The burial of Moby Dick
Was done by an Oregon hick
Who said, “TNT
Is the answer for me.
But it’s going to take more than one stick.”
My In-Laws lived in Waldport when this happened and they knew man who owned the car that got crunched with the whale blubber.
There is no point in doing something quietly and simply when you can get your hands on explosives, lots of explosives.
Dr.,
lets stick to the political analysis and leave the exploding whales to lesser fellows.
Someone with your talent is hard to come by in many of these ranting, meandering threads.
(And I am sure you aware that the Electoral College met today.)
Now that is a perspective I never considered. It may not have been a matter of incompetence , but satisfaction of a lifelong dream. I can take comfort in the idea that at least the supervisor may be intelligent and deceptive.
I guess I have the mind of a child that throws rocks into pond just to watch the splash.
That’s not nuts. I join you.
Awww thats just sick.
What do a whale and a stick of dynamite have in common?
They're both wider than Barack Obama. (except if you count them ears, commonly refered as solar sails)
While this story is good, the best exploding dead whale story comes from Taiwan in Jan 2004.
Dead whale on beach. Let’s take it to the university for study. After much hassle whale is loaded on an open flatbed truck. While being transported through the center of Tainan city buildup of decomposition gasses causes whale to explode. Store windows shattered, passersby and autos covered with foul smelling whale guts and intestinal contents.
