Unlike Football, Mother Nature Provides Year-Round Violence

I watched the National Geographic show "Galapagos" the other night. If you're familiar with this site, you already know about my affinity for animal-on-animal bloodshed. Well, this special provided a doozy. It's a hawk, killing an iguana by grabbing it and pressing its head INTO THE SCORCHING FUCKING EARTH. Fucking awesome. The Galapagos hawk, if you didn't know, is at the top of the island's food chain. It has no known worthy adversary in its ecosystem. Know what that means? That means it has carte blanche to fucking kill at will. Bad. Ass.

When I die, I'm coming back as a hawk. And I'm parking my ass right outside Cameron Diaz's house.

  2. Can we drop Joe Buck and/or Peter King off on the Galapagos Islands? I think we all would enjoy seeing Joe Buck play the part of the iguana in part 2 of this video.

  3. wow, there are 10,000 ways to enter the river of death.

    also, check out Peguin Safari on the Natl. Geograpic channel if you like animal-on animal blood shed. One of those giant seals shakes a penguin to death until it's head almost falls off while beating it against the water.

  6. I've always been a big fan of killing reptiles, so thanks for that, but um...Cameron Diaz? Seriously?

  7. Is this from the meat industry filmstrip that the Simpsons kids watch in class? The one with all the shots of "natural adversaries," like the alligator who eats the gorilla?

  8. Hawks kick mountains of ass. I love those animal shows where some rodent/weasel/ground bird comes out of its hole to check out the scene, catch a few rays, take in the fresh ai--

    And then Mr. Hawk comes out of fucking NOWHERE to wreak havoc, rain destruction, and all that other death from the sky jazz.

    So brutal . . . but soooooo smooth.

  9. The hawk does have one natural enemy...

    Alka Seltzer tablets.

  10. Otto, I'm assuming you caught that episode last night as well. However, a shark nabs the gorilla. I still prefer the episode with the flock of birds that fly off with a moose.

  11. That was on last night? I missed it, but must've sensed it.

    And you're right -- it was a shark. I knew it was more ridiculous than an alligator, but couldn't remember.

  12. Rick Majerus just masturbated to this. I'm not sure I blame him.

  13. I need to add the National Geographic Channel to my "Things I Don't Understand about Boys" list.

  14. That hawk can be my wingman any day of the week - as long as he doesn't start shit with me. Then he'll have a natural known enemy.

  15. If you listen closely, you can hear the violence woodies popping all over the place.

  16. OM, Burnsy,

    Are you guys talking about Bovine University? One of the finest two minutes ever drawn by Korean hands...

  17. Oh, and That hawk, BDD? Pussy.

    What is that shit? Stepping on the lizard's head? As Trent said: "And you got these fucking claws and [that beak], man! And you're looking at your claws and you're looking at your [beak]. And you're thinking to yourself, you don't know what to do, man."

    Rip that reptile open. Quit wasting time.

  18. Don't let the name throw you Jimmy. It's not really a floor, it's more of a steel grating that allows material to sluice through so it can be collected and exported.

  19. "Surely, you don't expect us to swallow this tripe."

    "And now, courtesy of our friends on the Meat Council, this free tripe!"

  20. how did you get a copy of the Zach Randolph rape video?

  21. Also awesome, the owl that hides in the rocky nests of its prey waiting for them to come home, then BAM! Seagull for dinner...

    ReplyDelete
  22. I for one would like to see more of the "kill kill kill" tag.

    Joey Porter's pit bulls would like to have a word with that hawk.

  23. To quote the great Stewie Griffin as he addresses the two butlers serving him lunch:

    "You and you...FIGHT TO THE DEATH!!!!"

    Someone please find this clip on YouTube, the man blocks access here.

    Is that like a Nazi with a nice rack?

  24. No sound? Would a little lizard screaming be too much to ask for? I like some violent sound with my violent videos.
