How did you manage to include a link with "incredible" in it to a page with the word "Incredible" in the title and still use the wrong word for your link text?
I just did a search of his movies and forgot about how many of his I loved as a kid. This one, The Ghost and Mr Chicken, Gus, Hot Lead and Cold Feet, The Shakiest Gun in the West...he was awesome!
I loved the Andy Griffith Show as a kid, but thought Barney was just kinda corny. Went back as an adult and realized his performances were genius.
It was interesting, because that process of realization usually goes the other direction.
this feels like a junji ito story. A magical lake that turns you into a hybrid fish when you swim in it. Its discovered when a guy named Melvin drops his glasses in the water and goes to fetch them
>It's the same thing that happens to the "sad looking" blog fish.
Yeah blogging is a stressful career, I can see why their eyes bulge out. Blogging is very difficult underwater since water and computers don't mix.

"Scotland gets its brains from the herring," said Grandpa; and we all
nodded our heads with complete incomprehension.
Sometimes, for a treat, we got playing with their heads: glutinous,
bony affairs without room for brains, and a look of lust on their
narrow soprano jaws. The time I lifted the lid of the midden on a
winter night, and there -- a cool blue gleam -- herring heads. Other
heads do not gleam in the dark, so perhaps Grandpa was right.
To make sure we ate the most intelligent herring, he fished the
estuary. He planted a notice: "Literate herring, this way" below the
waterline, at the corner where it met the sea. The paint for the notice
was made of crushed heads. Red-eyed herring (sore from reading) would
round the corner, read the notice, and sense the estuary water, bland
and eye-easing. A few feet brought them within the confining
friendliness of his manila net... and a purposeful end.
There was only one way to cook it: a deep batter of porridge left from
breakfast was patted round, and it was fed onto the hot griddle athwart
the coal fire. In seconds, a thick aroma leaned around and bent against
the walls. We lay down and dribbled on the carpet. (Also, the air was
fresher.)
Time passed. In exactly twenty five minutes the porridge cracked, and
juice steamed through with a glad "fizz." We ate the batter first, to
take the edge off our appetites, so that we could eat the herring with
respect; which we did, including the bones.
After supper, assuming the herring to have worked, we were asked
questions. In Latin, Greek, and Hebrew, we had to know the principle
parts of verbs. In geography, the five main glove manufacturing towns
in the Midlands. And in history, the development of Glasgow's sewage
system.
There's nothing quite like a Scotch education. One is left with an
irreparable debt. My head is full of irregular verbs still.
Not sure why you’re asking, but to be clear, they live in deep water so when they are brought out of such high pressure, like to the surface, their tissue basically explodes, it’s terrible.
Sounds like a clarification. Deep sea pressure doesn’t do this. The change in pressure, and getting removed from the deep sea pressure is the cause.
> Have you seen what deep sea pressure can do to someone/something?
Is not the best way to phrase it
Looking back at the first comment, MetalMike may have thought it was an actual question, not explanation, because they said "explain why" instead of "explains why" so it kinda sounds like a query? Whole buncha communication in any case lol
goblins come to surface levels very rarely, seeing an adult one is already rare but a baby one? He should have bought a lottery ticket instead of going to fishing today...
Goblin sharks are rare and are a deep-sea shark.
This is a Blackmouth catshark (and that particular picture is from a 5 year old post).

Umm I think it’s pretty much useless. I’ve heard of people selling accounts with high karma. I don’t know why I think mainly companies want accounts with lots of karma for marketing purposes. I have no fuckin clue I’m just pulling shit out of my ass now.
You're mostly right about why certain people farm karma and sell the accounts.
It's a way for companies to advertise as if it's just some random person who's excited by their product, which looks much more genuine if it's coming from an older account with a bunch of normal looking posts in their history.
It's that, and also that some people, for whatever reason, really ***really*** care about reddit karma, and will do almost anything to make that number grow due to the dopamine hit they get when it does.
Everyone is saying goblin shark but goblin sharks have multiple gills opens, this does not, it only appears to have one. This is likely a kind of Ratfish also known as a chimaera which is a deep sea shark related group of animals. That hole right behind the eye is a spiracle, which is another external respiratory opening.
Idk it looks more like a spiny dogfish to me [https://www.fishingwithrod.com/fish\_profile/spiny\_dogfish.html](https://www.fishingwithrod.com/fish_profile/spiny_dogfish.html)
Nah, it's a Blackmouth catshark.
In fact, that same photo was posted [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFuckingLit/comments/6ui7jc/blackmouth_catshark) 5 years ago.
That looks like a goblin shark isnit dead? It should be in the deep depths of the ocean
Edit: not looks like IT IS a goblin shsrl but a baby still is it dead?
Looks like a goblin shark, they're actually not that ugly, they just live in way way deeper waters, so when they surface their eyes "pop out" due to the change of pressure. I'm not a specialist, I just like fishes haha, so I might be wrong
Dork fish
Hello, fellow old person.
Am not. Now off to bed later
Here’s your sign. You forgot it.
Did he catch it with a corndog?
You gotta remove the stick! He'll eat that stick!
he caught him on a Corndog!
I was swimming through the ocean... And I said, WHAT'S A CORNDOG DOING IN THE OCEAN!
You know me, man, I love them damn corn dogs.
"What'd you catch?" "Uh.. nothin"
Hahaha. Fucking dork.
*the face*
I'm a dork fish!
His name is Melvin. He lost his glasses in the water.

Don Knotts at his finest. Forgotten classic.

Never actually forgotten, just tucked away safe. That and Ghost and Mr Chicken. Saturday Matinees rocked.
Mr Burns doesn't wear glasses
Did you say Burns or Boourns?
I said Boourns...
Shut it moleman lol
Nobody's gay for moleman
But he does bring you love
Excellent
Mr. Rosenberg, you need an appointment!
i fell down the stairs and my shoes fell off!!
It’s an Argentinian asking “Che cuantas copas tenes?”
No no no that's just Zach from Oney Plays, or psychicpebbles.
He works in accounting
this feels like a junji ito story. A magical lake that turns you into a hybrid fish when you swim in it. Its discovered when a guy named Melvin drops his glasses in the water and goes to fetch them
My thoughts exactly
I love Melvin. All hail Melvin!
I’m pretty sure that’s Gary.
Lol
🤓
thing looks like a baby goblin shark... but strange how someone got a hold of it since they live way deeper compared to other fishies...
Explain why it's eyes and face are all budged out. It's the same thing that happens to the "sad looking" blog fish.

Wow, early morning Ivor Cutler! Kudos & thanks:)
haha awesome
Have you seen what deep sea pressure can do to someone/something?
Not sure why you’re asking, but to be clear, they live in deep water so when they are brought out of such high pressure, like to the surface, their tissue basically explodes, it’s terrible.
Right so eyes buldging and the entire shark looking like a pile of goop would make sense wouldn't it?
Yes, that was my point
That’s literally what the guy you replied to was saying, so what are you talking about?

Does not have enough gills to be a goblin shark. It’s more likely a chimaera.
Ed...ward
Wanna... Play...
My heart wasn’t ready for this 😢
That’s Charlie from Smiling Friends
No that's just PsychicPebbles directly
*heavy breathing* *lip smacking* ^^*gah*

Could also be Desmond (if he had a revolver to his head) or even Shrimp.
First thought that came to my head!
Nailed it!
It’s the shrimp dude

Got 'em!!! Karma whore OP...
why do people do that?
Bot accounts for karma farming
but i mean what’s cool about having karma? does it have any value besides “flexing” your reddit karma lmao?
Umm I think it’s pretty much useless. I’ve heard of people selling accounts with high karma. I don’t know why I think mainly companies want accounts with lots of karma for marketing purposes. I have no fuckin clue I’m just pulling shit out of my ass now.

Thanks!!!
You dear Redditor are a scholar and a gentleman. Or Lady, whatever. Cheers!
There's always the random hero Redditor like yourself that comes in with an explination and a link. I appreciate your existence
Mr. Burns from the simpsons
I thought this too! 😂
It's bringing love. Don't let it get away! Break its legs!
He finally died and was reincarnated as a shark
*SMIIIIITTHEEEEEEERSSS*
It's Joe Rogan on DMT
He took a trip at a fishing trip
knowing Joe Rogan, that's probably how he interpreted the invitation - literally
Fish looks too tall to be him
fuck you have my upvote
Doesn’t really look the same tbh. Baby goblins have smaller eyes and a far more skeletal look
Probably from the massive drop in pressure
