#tinky remains stinky

[storiesagehumileation]

Claire stood in the dressing room, fresh out of the shower, when she noticed a small light flickering in the background. Upon further inspection, she found Steve's mobile phone neatly tucked away behind the bin. She marched out of the room and confronted Steve, who fell silent and awkwardly admitted his mistake. Claire, a psychology master's student, took a deep breath and realised that although Steve had been a bit creepy, he had still made a mistake. She thought to herself, "If you act like a baby, you'll be treated like a baby!" With a disapproving tone, she knew that Steve had to learn his lesson.

Claire's insistence that "If you act like a baby you'll be treated like a baby" was met with disapproval from Steve. With a stern voice, she slowly explained that because he had been naughty and didn't know his boundaries, he would be receiving a punishment. She commanded him to take off his clothes and follow her to the bathroom, where he was to sit in the shower with her while she washed her hair. He was told to keep his thumb in his mouth and remain between her legs at all times. After the shower, he was to accompany her to her room for his time out. For the remainder of the night, Steve was to stand in the corner with his thumb in his mouth - a reminder of the consequences of acting like a baby.

Claire had a no-nonsense attitude when she spoke to the grown man, telling him that when he needed to go potty he would have to raise his hand and wait for her to take him - it didn't matter if he needed to go number one or number two; she would be the one to sit him on the toilet and wipe his naughty bits. She even went on to give him names for his private parts, saying that his penis should now be known as his 'winkie tinkie' and his bottom should be called his 'stinkie bum bum'. Although she said all this with a joyful, witty tone, it was clear that she was not pleased with the situation and indicated her disapproval by adding that the punishments for further misbehaviour would depend on the time out he received - if he chose to fight back, he would spend the rest of the year with a new pattern.

every time I go for a shower, you insist on coming in and sitting between my legs with your thumb in your mouth. I think it's time you start dressing appropriately for such occasions; water wings would be cute! When you need to go potty, you'll knock on my door and I'll take you. You will also take on a new name, if you don't behave tonight: Foo Foo. You even insist that people call you this, otherwise you'll go to the police and tell them what you've done and how you admitted to it. I'm frankly appalled by this behavior, and I expect much better from you.

Steve's face was a picture of humiliation as he tearfully lowered his trousers, his boxers going down to reveal his 'winkie tinkie'. He wiped away his tears with his hands, before taking off his top and stepping out of his trousers and boxers. There was a long, uncomfortable pause before they moved to the next room. Claire watched Steve's shame with a disapproving eye, seeing him desperately trying to cover himself up. For the first time, Claire allowed herself a small smile, reveling in her revenge.

It was a completely unacceptable situation: had Steve gotten his way, he would have seen her butt naked in the shower and she would have been none the wiser. Mortification was the only way to describe his walk into the shower, being forced to go on all fours, his bottom in the air. Claire pushed and prodded him, tapping his "stinkie" and rearranging him, until he was in the shower. She then lifted him up by his shoulders and placed him on his bottom with his legs out in front of him. Steve begged and pleaded through a muffled noise as his thumb was placed in his mouth.

Steve had always had a bit of a crush on Claire, so the thought of seeing her naked was a dream come true. But not like this. This was utterly humiliating. The last time he had been in the shower in such a position was with his mother. Claire, completely oblivious to his discomfort, undressed and stepped in, washing away her worries. When she looked down and saw Steve, sobbing and desperately trying to cover his erection with his one free hand, she couldn't help but smirk. "If you act like a baby, you'll be treated like one," Claire thought to herself, shaking her head disapprovingly at the situation.

Anglers in Virginia reeled in a 700-pound tuna, then threw a dinner party

Editor’s Note: Unsustainable fishing practices have depleted Atlantic bluefin tuna around the world, so much that the US tightly regulates harvest of the endangered species. Given that Jake Hiles’s catch falls within the federal limits, and that he didn’t take the meat to the market, we decided to share the story below, despite the debate around the sport and practice.

They arrived by the dozens—with coolers and plastic bags in hand. Virginia Beach captain Jake Hiles invited them to come via social media. He’d just caught a bluefin tuna like no other—and asked the community to join in his prize. Hiles gave away the catch of a lifetime.

It was the fishing equivalent of Babe Ruth standing at the plate and pointing his bat toward the fence then smacking a home run.

Before Hiles headed out of Rudee Inlet with fellow angler Jeff Landis Saturday, February 15, he texted a handful of other friends to see if they wanted to join them.

“I’m going to set up so that I can re-set the state record in Virginia,” he texted friend, Capt. Kyle Peet.

To friend Matt Metelsky, his text was even more to the point, “I’m gonna go catch the new Virginia state record this weekend ... and it would be cool if you went.” Catching big fish is hard work after all and help is always appreciated.

Hiles, who operates Matador Sport Fishing Charters, had been watching the weather and sea conditions and knew the time was right. He and Landis headed out around noon on Saturday. When they returned roughly 24 hours later, riding with them was a hulking bluefin tuna that would tip the scales at 708 pounds, shattering the standing record of 606 by 102 pounds.

The seas were rough as his 35-foot Henriques Maine Coaster plowed southeast nearly 90 miles to an area called the “tuna hole.”

“The conditions were fairly nasty with a choppy confused swell, whitecaps, and a cold northeast wind, but we arrived in the warm waters of a gulf stream eddy in the afternoon and began trolling,” Hiles recounted in a Facebook post after accomplishing the feat. It was game on almost as soon as they got there as a large bluefin quickly snatched their bait. Hiles battled the tuna for hours, getting it right up to his boat before losing it.

So, the team adjusted their tactics for night fishing and started drifting baits—they were using a mix of dead bluefish as well as rubber lures the pair makes themselves from a 3D printer. The lures, dubbed the Stinky TINKY, are made to imitate mackerel. Sharks quickly ate up the bluefish leaving the anglers with just their homemade lures. The fishing remained eventful with a 10-foot hammerhead hooked and released, as well as a bottlenose dolphin that got tangled in a line that was also safely untangled and released.

The action wore the two out as midnight came and went, so Landis agreed to watch the lines while Hiles went below deck for some rest. At 4:17 a.m., one of the glow sticks placed on the end of the rods to make them visible in the dark dropped toward the ocean.

“We’re on,” Landis yelled as he began reeling in the other lines to get them out of the way. Hiles dashed from the cabin to find one rod bent over, line screaming from the reel, as what would be the large bluefin tuna made a mad dash for the ocean floor a mile below the Toro. However, it almost became the record that wasn’t.

As Landis reeled in the other lines, he snagged a 6-foot-long, 100-pound-class Mako shark near the surface. The thrashing shark was mere feet from the taut line that tethered Hiles to his destiny.

“I’m flipping out because I know that’s a shark he has one there and I have a really, really tight line and he has a really toothy critter right beside the boat and I can see it,” says Hiles. Landis acted quickly, working the mako next to the boat and cutting him free to get it away from the fish Hiles was working.

Meanwhile, line was still stripping from Hiles reel. When he saw the hollow-core backing appear where monofilament had been, he knew he had less than 200 yards of line left on his reel. The tuna showed no signs of slowing. Hiles knew he had to do something. He set the drag almost all the way to full and with barely 100 feet of line still on his reel, the big tuna slowed and eventually turned back toward the surface. Hiles began cranking for dear life, slowly reclaiming line stolen from the tuna’s 7-minute mile-deep dash.

Hiles worked the tuna to within a short distance of the boat before it made another short dash and then gave up altogether. Fifty-three minutes after first hooking the giant bluefin, the angler had the fish alongside the Toro and a gaff in its side.

Now they had another problem. Hiles didn’t have a chainfall or ratchet strap so somehow he and Landis, both exhausted from the long night, were going to have to figure out a way to get the fish through the tuna door and onto the boat lest they have an Old Man and the Sea scenario where sharks could start removing pounds of the potential record by the mouthful. After some clever rigging and a lot of effort, two hours later, the anglers finally had the tuna safely on board and headed back to the marina.

At Rudee Inlet, the true record-setting qualities of the bluefin were revealed to a crowd of onlookers who had already gathered to catch a glimpse of the fish. Weighing in at 708 pounds, the tuna had a 77 ¼-inch girth and measured 114 inches overall in length. Ironically, Hiles was part of the crew who had caught the current state record caught by his late friend Chase Robinson on April 6, 2015. Robinson passed not long after the feat, so Hiles was glad to see the record stand for some years. But he also always hoped when the record did fall, it would be one of Robinson’s friends who broke it. He has a tattoo of a bluefin with 606 on his hand to commemorate his late friend’s achievement.

To pay his good fortune forward, once the tuna had been officially scored and certified, Hiles posted an invite to those who follow him on Facebook to come down to the marina and get a piece of the great-tasting fish. Within an hour of posting the invite, nearly 100 people, many who had heard about the opportunity second hand, showed up with small coolers and plastic baggies in hand. In less than an hour, the fish had been scraped clean.

“I had 708 pounds of tuna that is best eaten fresh and I can’t eat it all myself,” says Hiles. Recreationally caught fish cannot be sold commercially. “It’s nice to be able to share this with the community.”

After all, it isn’t everyday a person gets to taste a record-breaking fish.
