...Notaro,
...to answer your question, think of it like this;
I'm fat and weigh over 300 pounds. Your skinny and weigh about 110 pounds. You decide to call me
FATSO. I start to chase you, but you keep dodging me and outrunning me. Eventually I get over-tired and you get away.
..as opposed to:
I'm fat and weigh over 300 pounds. Your skinny and weigh about 110 pounds. You decide to call me
FATSO. I make it seem like it doesn't bother me. So you get closer and closer and keep calling me FATSO. I pretend not to see you, or even care that your calling me names. Suddenly, your in my reach.
BAMN!!! ...NOW YOUR IN A HEAD-LOCK GETTING PUNCHED IN THE FACE OVER AND OVER.
My logic scares me sometimes. A bass will do whatever it takes to get what it wants. The smarter Bass won't expend extra energy when it doesn't have to. It slowy moves closer to it's prey, until it's close enough to corral it. The 'head-lock' is when the bass is circling the victim, the punch is when he strikes the victim before swallowing it head first.
ok, not the greatest scenario...
but I'm sure you knew the answer before you asked the question.
