The Salmon

The Salmon: forcefully jabbing your hand in a spear shape (salmon) between the butt-cheeks of your victim and wiggling your hand forward. (swimming up stream)

After a long day of exhausting videogames, my cousin Scott Wasden and I decided it was time for a break, my girlfriend Jenni was with us as when we went into the kitchen to prepare a snack. Scott was being fairly quiet and unnoticed which was unusual for him; Jenni and I were playing around at the opposite end of the kitchen sort of standing wrestling when it happened...

Scott aware of my unawareness to him felt this the perfect moment to strike; so while Jenni and I were playing around, he sneaked over slowly. It was a perfect opportunity to "dive right in". He crept up behind me, reared his hand and in an underhand arching motion thrust his fingers upward into my bottom-side, it was all too perfect - or was it? A split second before Scott attacked, Jenni and I still unaware of his presence, my pants were dropped to the floor by a surprise pantsing by Jenni. Apparently in the swift movement my boxers got caught between her fingers as well. Scott's hand continuing to race towards my bottom had no time to stop or notice the change of conditions to which they were about to meet - Salmoned...

Surprised I turned around and saw Scott with a confused look on his face wondering what his hand just met and slowly realizing the horrendous fate that had come. Jenni and I took one look at each other and began to laugh; the laughter continued until neither of us could breath and our faces were shining from the tears streaming down our cheeks. Scott was still speechless. "Scott?" I asked, pulling up my pants between breaths and laughter. No Reply. Eventually "O my God." escaped his lips after minutes of speechlessness. Still studying his hand, Scott Wasden a seasoned Salmoner now humbled by his experience, will think twice before executing a salmon again.

Nice story, kinda sad for Scott. Anyway assuming this is your snapshot essay, a couple of things you could do to improve the essay, would be to maybe add a couple more pictures. Perhaps one of this poor soul, Scott. Also maybe a little bit more about how you felt about this attack. It was a great story though. I like how you can keep it short and still get the point across. That is something I struggle with.

Well, i'm glad you described it the way you did, although I wasn't sure how deep he really dug in there ehhww. Well, About the requirements, you did forget to tag it, and while the salmon color was kind of funny, it did make it a little harder to read.

This story cracks me up! =)

The following sentence was a little hard to follow - "A split second before Scott attacked, Jenni and I still unaware of his presence, my pants were dropped to the floor by a surprise pantsing by Jenni." It might be nice if you could clarify it a little better (it it reads ok, read it out loud and then it sounds funny).

Also, more embedded pictures video would have been awesome!
