"This is interesting. One of the top selling costumes this Halloween is a vampire version of President Obama called 'Barackula.' Also very popular is the vampire version of former Vice President Dick Cheney, called 'Dick Cheney.'"

They really do seem to be flying. I can picture them saying "So long and thanks for all the fish"....

Great flick! Thanks for visiting and commenting.

@bekkah: I believe they are drunk fraternity dolphins, and hence had no inhibitions about public urination.
Somewhat related story: During a dolphin swim two dolphins were very curious about a gentlemen's rear end. Kept trying to get close to it, and the trainers couldn't figure it out. When asked, the man laughed - he still had shrapnel from Korea in his rear end, and the dolphins could sense the anatomical anomaly with their sonar.
Thanks for the kudos Bekkah!

Awesome action shot! I thought of the same line that Grifola did.

Beautiful capture of action here! But I had to say "Ewwww!" when I read that title you gave the caption. :-)The lush palm trees serve as a great backdrop. And the photographer helps, too. ;-)

@Jeff: Probably the result of spending too much time with "Paul's Ladies" (http://tadpole.aminus3.com/image/2009-10-21.html) drinking Guinnes!

HA! That's crazy...about the shrapnel!?! I hear inebriated dolphins are the life of the party :)
