Hello! What's up with saw fish and saw sharks? Are they related? And what do they use that silly saw nose for?
Sawfish and Saw sharks could be considered cousins of sorts due to them both being chondrichthyans, which means their skeleton is made out of cartilage rather than bone.
Sawfish are actually a type of ray or batoid when saw sharks are considered a true shark. Batoids are more flattish in shape and are usually bottom feeders, they are also sometimes referred to as "flat sharks"
Now what do their saws do? Well, its not too hard to guess that they use their saw-like noses to catch and kill prey along with using them as a tool to dig or a weapon to fight. their saws have small pores that can detect electric fields produced by prey and is shared by both sharks and rays alike. This may also be the reason a lot of sharks come to investigate peoples underwater film equipment or chew the electrical cords that run along the ocean floor, sometimes even cutting off internet.
Sharks are just silly little guys

XPWEW Friday Night Pyro (4-10-2020)
Friday Night Pyro #421 April 10th, 2020 Los Angeles, California The Barracks
Opening Segment: Troy Clausen enters the ring with GM Romeo Roselli who is holding a contract for a “Lockdown 7 match between himself (Troy) vs Champagne Clausen Troy: Last week I rose from the dead! I told the world that my son would be nothing without me! I taught him everything he knows but I’m just a little bit quicker, smarter. I’m more violent. Curt was raised wealthy and privileged. He was like Richie Rich in upstate New York growing up. He had everything. Well I didn’t. A lot of people ask me how I gained my wealth. I hit the lottery when I was 34. I wanted to be a professional wrestler but instead with my new found fortune I funded this company in 2005 along with my constituents. I let business overtake. I wanted to be in the ring. I wanted to live vicariously through my son but my son isn’t a hero. My son is a villain. I’m a hero. I wouldn’t have mercifully beaten up The Freight Train. I LOVE FREIGHT TRAIN! I LOVE PROFESSIONAL WRESTLING! AND DAMN IT I LOVE THE FANS!
Champagne enters Champagne: Everything you just said. IRRELEVANT. You! IRRELEVANT! Even that silly clipboard with those empty words on that Lockdown 7 match contract between me and you? IRRELEVANT. I will be in the main event that night, cause in 2 weeks I’ll be winning the 2020 Xtreme Rumble match and I won’t BE in a match with you. Besides. I wrestle real competition. I wrestle real professional wrestlers. Troy: Well that’s quite the coincidence because in the several months I was out of action I was trained by a professional wrestler. That’s right an old grizzled veteran. In Greensboro, North Carolina I traveled and I was trained by the great
Freight Train enters to jubilation Freight Train: Troy Clausen is a trained professional wrestler! The same man who trained me down there in Greensboro Carolina the man himself George South
George South and son (also wrestler) Jake “The Boy Scout” Manning enters to “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey [[Geroge South wrestled for the NWA back in the 80’s pretty much a job guy but has wrestled Flair many times. He still wrestles today and is most known for his podcast “You don’t work Dad, You wrestle” with his son Jake “The Boy Scout” Manning.
Champagne: LMAOOOOOO The Boy Scout? George South? Is that your name? Lol. You were trained by these guys. Go back to your trailer in Greensboro and talk into some cheap podcast equipment and talk about the good days. Hey George have you ever won a match? Like, ever?
Champagne gets in George South’s face, Jake “The Boy Scout” Manning apprehends him to back up George South: Champagne in 2013 you attended my school with HIGHSPOTS and I distinctly remember afterwards you went off on a tangent saying you were the best, this and that, with your nose up in the air at the other fellas and gals trying to chase the same dream as you. You left the school when I said you were too sloppy and you needed to tighten up in the ring and you left. You told me I was a nobody and I don’t have the business training anybody. Well I’ve trained WWE Cedric Alexander that’s a Cruiserweight Champion. I’ve trained Tessa Blanchard Yep that’s the first ever women’s world wrestling champion over there making an IMPACT! I thought I was gonna train you but I’ve spent the past few months training your daddy so he can BEAT YOU Champagne: What’s that? Sorry George I don’t speak hick. Champagne: (looks at Train) I don’t speak retard either (groan dull poor taste) Champagne: (looks at Jake Manning) and the Boy Scout? That’s your thing? Boy Scout With that questionable mustache you look like someone who has the Tik Tok app on his phone and doesn’t have an account. Someone check this guy George South: What’s wrong with you? I’m gonna tell your boy. If you got a problem with my son and me then why don’t you say it Champagne: I do have a problem but now you do. You and me. Let’s go. George South: (looks at Romeo) Well if that’s okay with the General manager I’d challenge you to your own match! That’s right! A Clausen Cleaver match!
(Freight Train Pulls out a Magic Marker from his jacket and draws a poorly done squiggly line not even halfway in the middle of the canvas (George South side is much bigger) Champagne: huh huh I’m not even gonna complain at those odds.
Clausen Cleaver Match M1: Champagne Clausen defeats George South
During the match an attempt to interfere from Troy Clausen was thwarted when Troy shoved in a steel chair toward a downed George South and a standing Champagne stepped on the chair “Thanks” Champagne proceeded to whack South over the back with the steel chair several times until kicking him over his ill-equal line of the Cleaver and pinning South clean 1-2-3
Troy: That’s fine you wanna continue to be a brat, you wanna drag our business out into the mainstream. Well I can play dirty Pal in fact I do it better than anybody ever has in this industry. So Champagne Clausen next week I’m gonna invite people from your past, your present and your future and I’m gonna expose you and I’m gonna embarrass you and at Lockdown I’m gonna give you a beating your father should have given you before...... (intentional botch to enhance Troy’s babyface character)
James Westerbeck interviews The Set (mostly Jordan Oliver) on his current streak as he prepares to fight world champ Golden Bryce tonight. Jordan: I’m 8-0 never been defeated in the year 2020, never lost a match in this DECADE! The real champ is the Juniorweight title and remember that streak of Jacques Dudley’s back in 2012, well that’s nothing on me. I’m swimming with sharks and it’s blood in the water pimpin’. Golden Shower boy is gonna get a kick in the face courtesy of me Jordan Oliver so get that, got that? Good. Mark. (Ruckus is rubbing Oliver’s shoulders behind him) Ruckus: “My boy Jawdan. This my son right here. I f*** with this n**** the long way and new blood cap glock gang rag gang
VIGNETTE Mandy Leon hypes “Mid-evil Marauders” coming soon
1 on 1 M2: Priscilla Kelly defeats Doxy Deity
Post match promo Lotus goes on tangent on how Prisiclla is at her core the thing wrong with modern feminism, toxic and nasty. Doing the right cause the WRONG way. Prisiclla responds “Your whole family has this moral compass high horse how about you shut your mouth”
Lotus responds “Eat those words Prisiclla let it fester in the gristle of your guts :)
Soloman Nasty pleads Joe Gacy go give him ONE MORE CHANCE! Gacy says fine I respect a guy who doesn’t give up
M3: Myron Reed & Kotto Brazil defeat Joe Gacy & Soloman Nasty
Reed puns Nasty after a 450 splash from the 2nd rope
After the match Gacy helps Soloman Nasty up and just when he seems to let him be “The Plagueground” replacing Croyle during injury. Up the ramp Gacy hits Soloman with both tag titles and gorilla presses him onto the steel grate of the stage and leaves him in a whole heap of mess
Backstage: [[FUNNY] All Man is listening to Doja Cat “Say So” embarrassingly making a Tik Tok to it He talks to All Woman and says I’ve been going viral recently! Chainmail are back! Milkmen might be back to work country-wide. My title reign really resonated with people. All Woman: You did it :) You did it ALL by yourself :) All Man smiles corny-like in front of an American flag and chugs a chocolate Nesquik
Garrett Thompson & Ethan Bedlam join commentary and run down Leonard McGraw and Ryu

PROMO: Lockdown 7 is 40 days away

back and forth match. At one point referee Kevin Madrox does a great “YOURE OUTTA HERE” to The Set at ringside (Myron, Kotto, Ruckus, Lexoni & Chrissy Rivera)
Jordan is going for the “Clout Cutter” and Bryce hits the 6 rings on Oliver’s BACK ((Total innovative way to spear someone to their back as Oliver flings off the top rope to the middle of the ring, reverse 6 rings. 1-2-3 and just like that Jordan Oliver takes his first L of the year
Bryce looks at the camera and breaks the 4th wall a bit gives a “hey why not” look Raises Jordan’s Juniorweight title as well as his own World Heavyweight Title both in the air as the show goes off the air!

What made you feel in love with giovanni potage?
I think the better question is what didn’t
If you were to make a Venn diagram of my favorite character types, that would be too complex for me to actually attempt here, but Giovanni would be in an overlap area of SEVERAL circles. Goofy comic relief characters, teammates who bolster their friends with aggressive positivity, criminals who just like to cause chaos...hardly ever do you see all THREE of these wrapped up in one, but boy howdy, was Giovanni ever.
I also love characters who are just exuberant and confident, on the sliding scale from smug to silly. Giovanni is an attempt at Smug but actually more toward Silly and I love it.
I kind of have this joke that Giovanni is a “hell mashup of every character I’ve ever liked.” Aggressive positivity like Papyrus and Kaito Momota! Theatrical during heists like Roman Torchwick! Outgoing like Sora! Built from a place of humor similar to Yzma! Ends up being a morally gray goofy villain like Globby! Even some weird little things, like how I hear Danny Cooksey was originally considered to be his voice - I’m glad we got Igneczi instead because Cooksey would’ve just done Jack Spicer 2.0, but the fact that he almost was actually Jack Spicer 2.0 - well, given the character types I’ve just described, I don’t think I have to tell you I adore Jack. The voice Igneczi gives him combined with the all-yellow Blaster uniform gives me serious Megavolt vibes, and Megavolt was one of my first kinnies (I am not shitting you). And though I mentioned Kaito first, my ultimate favorite DanganRonpa character ever of all time is Kazuichi Soda, and ANYONE AND EVERYONE in both the DR and EE fandoms noticed RIGHT AWAY how these fellas both have that bubblegum-pink hair with shark teeth.
All this is background for when I tell you that when I was first watching EE ep. 1 out of curiosity - I had it rec’d from a friend, and was just dipping in a toe to see if I’d like it - the MINUTE he blew through the wall and announced he was robbing the place, MY “JCMORRIGAN FAVORITE” SENSORS STARTED BEEPING. Like, I could tell RIGHT AWAY he was my type.
Selfshipping is a relatively new venture for me. I’d had some crushes in the past, and some f/o’s I didn’t realize were f/o’s but weren’t a good fit for me, but the modern era of JCMorrigan selfshipping didn’t begin until 2019, when I reblogged a “ship me with a fictional character” post for LOLs, a certain best buddy of mine who KNOWS WHO HE IS sent me XR from BLoSC, and all of a sudden I start writing an AU in my head around what would happen if I were XR’s love interest and suddenly ohhhh noooooo I’m my favorite ship for him, which NEVER happens. So I start looking more into selfshipping, and after establishing that yes, XR was my f/o, I realized that with my villain problem (i.e. what I call my obsession with villains, which is not actually a problem), I needed to find an f/o who was more morally dark. So, for the Evil JCMorrigan Universe, I rounded up Tony Dracon from Gargoyles, who is an old nostalgically important character to me. And, since I had one good and one evil and I generally prefer to ship weird crossovers (therefore wanting characters to be free for me to do that instead of all locked into my harem), I swore I was going to stop there.
Until FUCKING Giovanni.
Thing is, I’d known XR and Tony for a while and it still took a domino-chain of factors for me to decide they were my f/o’s. The FUCKING MINUTE Giovanni crashed through the wall, I was just like WHOA MY GOD. HE...IS WONDERFUL. HE IS ATTRACTIVE AND CUTE AND REALLY FUN AND I WANT TO BE HIS PARTNER IN CRIME.
And I tried to tell myself no! I already had two f/o’s! Buuuuut...then came the ep where he listened to Molly talk about her broken home, and - look - I have a regular lasagna of layered mental issues, and all of a sudden I have the textual evidence that Giovanni is ready for that, that he’s gonna catch me if I fall, and he would be my beacon of hope. (And is, in a way. I have a particular document on my hard drive I call my “Giovanni Journal” where I write to myself as him in a bold pink font and this helps me work through things.)
Eventually, I had to give in. The magnetism was too strong. And the best part is that he rides a line where he can be good OR evil but not too much of either, and that’s a nice midpoint! I can be the hero or the villain with him.
XR and Tony are still around, don’t get me wrong, but Giovanni is...everything I wanted, basically. My RL men standards are now that much higher and I pity the guys who realize they have to live up to the Giovanni Potage bar
(Also, I legitimately just love soup.)
