    It really is the one stop shop for shark fins. I always get them there.

    Thing is you have to make sure they are fake. Dealers often try to pass real shark fins as fake shark fins. Don't get stung.

    You sound like you need them in a hurry. The bad voice inside my head is saying you're going to sabotage a Christmas day swim :eek: Would be a hell of a way of warming up the swimmers all right!

    but i was thinking that there was some joke shop you could buy them in but no!! i cant find one anywhere. I know if i made 10 they would fall apart within an hour of wearing them...

    I want them made of cast rubber or something. Its gona spend a weekend on the piss in finland so needs to be sturdy and theres no way if i make them outa paper mache or flippers will they be sturdy!

    For the sake of not giving us Irish an even worse reputation abroad than we already have, please don't walk around Finland in a fake shark fin.

    kthxbye


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,731 ✭✭✭11811


    probably easier to go to greenland and paint yourselves green...
    think the 40 foot on xmas morning is a better idea..

    Finnish women are officially* the sluttiest in Europe, he could probably wear a sharks scrotum - on his head - and still get laid. (Unless he's the guy who started the "Am I cool" thread - he ain't neva gettin laid)

    *According to some bloke in pub.

    How about going to a furniture shop and seeing if they have any furniture foam filling.... like large slabs of yellow foam.
    Might be able to cut fin shapes out of them.

    Or the likes of Power City might have a load of polystyrene packing from all their electronics good. Might be able to cut something out of that.

    Or go into an Art Supply shop, and ask them what materials they have that might be suitable.

    It wouldn't make me think "they're dopes so all Italians must be dopes" though.
