whats the weirdest submission you've gotten so far

so far: the boy from the dreamworks logo, dads worldwide, every single person on the cast of the deadliest catch, THE TORNADO FROM SHARKNADO, and "the weatherman" from "that sea shanty tiktok"

(if you submitted one of these, i want you to know that i love them all and i am so glad i got to read someone's case for why the tornado is a fisherman)

#but as a sea shanty aficionado: i am of course familiar with the wellerman tiktok #despite the fact that i don't use tiktok #but the fact that they called it the weatherman is very funny to me #and as an appreciator of boat media and nautircal history #(aka ''as a massive nerd'')#i have to say that the song is from like the 70s and it's not a true sea shanty at all #and the titular wellerman was actually two men #and they sold provisions to whalers #but were not (as far as i know) whalers themselves #and therefore they were not necessarily fisherman #but i guess The Weatherman can be in the tourney anyway because (say it with me) it's funny #oops i made a typo in nautical please just pretend it isn't there #the tacklebox
