shirts with cool sharks (often giving the thumbs-up, or themselves wearing hawaiian shirts) on them were totally all the rage when i spent time as a youngster at our summer home on the michigan side of lake michigan.

there was also a burger joint called "sharkeys." you can imagine the decor.

god bless the 1980s.

you guys are totally missing this one. it's all the about the shark with the joe camel/spuds mackenzie mystique, givin' a high-five, hanging out at the 7-11, getting a nice tan, scaring parents out of the water, just being a summer-vacation badass in general.

Clue: to find sharks in sunglasses, do searches under the following:

cool shark
funky shark
badass shark
groovy shark
edgy shark
hip shark
shark with sunglasses
high five shark

etc

when i was a kid (i guess i was about 10) i was fishing with my dad in cape cod and i caught a baby shark! it was like a foot long or something. i remember feeling its skin because i read somewhere that sharks had sharp, tooth-like bumps on their skin! it was true! i really wanted to take it home and let it live in the bathtub but my dad wouldn't let me.

i guess that's not so much a cheesy shark as a twee shark.

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 24 August 2004 13:27 (twenty-one years ago)

there's something about subpar beach culture that's drawn to cheesy sharks. by subpar i mean like, one of those areas where all the cityfolk gather in summers but which doesn't boast exceptionally good weather or terribly exciting beaches. or actual sharks for that matter. it's like people overcompensate(d) for the subpar beach culture by wearing lots of neon swimming shorts and going on and on about pina coladas and buying t-shirts with cheesy sharks on them for their kids.

This totally goes against the Amateurist commandment, but here's my favorite friendly shark:
