After the worst day of meetings, after not being to track down the most elusive bug, at the end of that day, I absolutely do not have to worry about being eaten whole. So I guess there are worse jobs.

My first read of that made me think your day job was diving for lobsters (often referred to as bugs, and quite elusive).

Well, unless you’re a developer at a certain theme park featuring genetically engineered creatures…

This is some Rime of the Ancient Mariner shit and I love it, salute to this utter king

  Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
  See his eye as he stops one of three
  Mesmerizes one of the wedding guests
  Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea

Isn't eaten whole better than eaten half?

I wonder what the whale felt. Would it be swimming around telling its disgusted friends a cetacean equivalent of:

"So I was just picking up strawberries in the backyard and all of a sudden this giant winged cockroach appears out of nowhere and before I know it that goddamn thing is in my mouth!!! Dammit I can still taste it. It's something you can't forget..."
