As you can see, in a move that will no doubt shatter monocles and make silent auctioneers gasp audibly, the Shark Guys have undergone a fashion makeover. Much like a Blood defecting to the Cripps, we’ve left that red behind and settled on subtler earth tones while undergoing a massive style overhaul, the likes of which you’d see on the runways of Paris or Milan– if you happened to load up this site on your laptop mid-show.
The deus ex machina responsible for this transformation (and not the one who created humans and dinosaurs together and then made no mention in his Good Book of what would’ve likely been a less than peaceful coexistence) is none other than Karen at Catapult Web Development / Swank Web Design.
Swank, not to be confused with its namesake, a publication known for gracing prison and parking lot attendant calendars nationwide, has done for The Shark Guys’ website what a burka would do for Madonna–improve its look immeasurably. We would like to extend our utmost gratitude to the folks over there for doing what is truly a bang up job. We’re more thrilled than Michael Jackson when an ice-cream truck happens by Neverland Ranch.
Also, kudos to Stephane Peray, the uber talented cartoonist over at The Nation in Bangkok, responsible for our predatory fish graphic, who was kind enough to offer up his huge talents amidst a government shake up in Thailand (afflicting the comfortable made that much more difficult when you don’t know who the comfortable exactly are)
A giant Rosie O’Donnell-to-room service thank you to our friends for all their design suggestions, which although much appreciated, were largely ignored as we happily deferred to a professional.
Finally, thank you to all the faithful readers of The Shark Guys, who’ve helped make our site a humor mainstay.
Don’t forget, check us out Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays for more marrow to your funny bones, at www.thesharkguys.com and because our plugs are nowhere near as shameless as those in Kelsey Grammer’s head, pick up a copy of our book The Man Who Scared a Shark to Death and Other True Tales of Drunken Debauchery, a big help when the Buffalo Bills don’t cover the spread, er, in these times of financial uncertainty.
We certainly hope you like the new us.
Cheers!

No, I preferred the old one.
But hey, I still maintain that Pink Floyd ceased to exist when Dave Gilmour joined, so what do I know?

Thanks for your feedback fellas.
Tim, by the old one do you mean the old WP site? Between that and the Gilmour observation, I believe that the question of hallucinogenic use enters into the equation. Only raising the possibility!
