Apparently, “noodling” is a kind of fishing where you dive underwater, grab hold of a catfish with your hands, and then pull it to the surface. Noodling has been illegal in Missouri since 1919, but for a limited time this summer the Missouri Conservation Commission is allowing it in three rivers. From the guy in the picture:

I’ve had them clamp down so tight on my arm that I didn’t know if they’d ever let go. They have rows of tiny teeth, and when you try to pull your arm out of their mouth, they’ll just skin you. I even had one fish that tore my tennis shoe right off my foot. I couldn’t walk for a couple days. But that’s all part of it.

Why isn’t this universally popular?

Clan Luc@ss and krew (aka. “Griefers”) are so ubAr 133t that we even made Star Warz, The Empire Respawns, and The Jedi Go PvP. We also made some crap about some fag named Jar-Jar, but that was totally teh SUXXOR!!!1!!11! (oops. our bad) But we still totally pwn those flix. Those movies are mega ph4t lewt and we even found some sploitz that let us re-release them and make MAD BANK!

Only the finest in tooth-modding. The jewels in the top set spin to emulate spinning hubcaps. There is now a second meaning to “pimp my mouth”.
