March 5, 2008: Sic 'em Salty

[Trilby]

I have an unnatural fear of crocs and 'gators. I must have been eaten by one in a previous life.

I hate all water dewllers--except dolphins, nice whales (not those Killer things) seals, penguins and the Lady of the Lake. All the rest can piss off. Esp. the ones with tentacles and sharp, viscious teeth that want to bite me.

Probably fairly safe in Ohio then, though there is lakeshore,
but nothing could live in it,
except mutants

ever thought of New Mexico, I hear they're short of water,
But not mutants

Why do all near disasters seem to start with, "Hey, check this out"? Doesn't qualify him for a Darwin, since there's no carnage, but gotta at least give the guy a B for effort.

Meanwhile, saltie's thinking 'daim, missed again'.

If this happened in USA, it would've began with "Hey y'all, watch this!"

Also, don't be down on the croc, he just wanted a kosher meal.

You forgot the first line of that, "here hold my beer."

AKA, "Hey Bubba, watch this!". Know in these parts as, Famous Last Words of a Redneck.

There is a significant difference between Gators and Crocs. There is only one place in the US that has crocs and it is on the very tip of lower FL. The American Gator is quite docile unless you get near a nesting female. My kids water ski past them on our local river. People do get killed by them but they are the ones that are usually the ones in ponds that are near people who feed them, which you should not do. They will eat a small child or pet if they are not being tended to near gators, that would be dangerous. We eat gator tail every year and it is pretty good.

Not everyone's so fond of the Lady of the Lake

Dennis: Oh, but you can't expect to wield supreme executive power just because some watery tart threw a sword at you.
