— Ace Well... some kind of brownish-colored jellyfish or something.
But I'm not sure it's right to just say it's a jellyfish, though I think it is. It's certainly not a creature most people have seen before. I haven't. I imagine it will just be a couple of days before Art Vandelay, Marine Biologist, informs us it's a jellyfish of a less-known sort, but it's still... weird. Update: This video is from last year and it has in fact been identified as a deepstaria reticulum, a kind of jellyfish. Thanks to Inspector Cussword and @rdbrewer4.
This is not some sort of weasel. Although, let me say, when I first saw it swimming away I though "Oh for God's sakes, that's just a bear, swimming underwater." And a bear is a kind of weasel.
But it's not that. It comes back and shows off, and it's all weird and stuff. At various times it looks like a limbless squid*, and then some kind of manta, and then a jellyfish.
If you want, you can play the theme to Sea Hunt while watching the silent video.
Or, you could play this as the audio.
Thanks to @slublog.
* This "limbless squid" thing is my best guess. It definitely moves like a squid, and it looks like some kind of cephalopod. But I don't know of any cephalopods that don't have limbs and just appear to be undulating brown sheets.
Maybe a clam without its shell.
Another possilbility is that it's some kind of animal that got trapped inside a brown plastic trash bag.
Video of the Jellyfish:
It's a kind of medusa jellyfish.

I hit that.
Sacred honor compels me to leave it at that, though.
Let's just say I didn't pick a fold.
I fucked them all is what I'm getting at.
But, for the sake of my wife and family, I'll leave it at that.

There was some show about giant squid a while back, and they had a similar view of one that got munched by what they said was a colossal squid. Never even heard of that. As they filmed this giant squid, what looked like a freight train zoomed by and snatched it up.
They said they could calculate the length by comparing it to the tattered giant squid carcass they hauled to the surface.
Three hundred feet long. With eyes the size of basketballs and a snapping parrot beak as big as the front of a VW Beetle.
Fuck the ocean. It's for monsters.

Besides the only water I'll go into anymore is lake water. (other than a bath.)
In Florida.
In August.
In the afternoon.

That VIRGIN pee right?
Wait that could take too long. Or you'd get arrested.
Actually, no. I only got stung by the mild kind.
I don't go in the deep ocean because . . it's fracking DEEP!!!!!
I don't climb mountains and I don't swim in the ocean. See the trend there?
I'm risk averse. Even mild risk. Or unlikely risk. I don't play the Lotto. Or stroll through the ghetto at night.
I'm the opposite of Leroy Brown.

And if you like your meme, you can keep your meme.
