It was, Young joked later, like wading through the "Blog of Eternal Stench."
He's not talking about this Blog. Right?

What kind of candy-*ss gator hides under primrose? And I'd ask him that to his face too, if, you know, I happened to be in the neighborhood.

Reptiles ain't afraid of no 'colorful pair' . . .

Others came after work, with flashlights and bait, er, uh, their children.
Dad, whispering excitedly - "See, Timmy? That's a scared gator-caiman. They behave erratically when they're scared, Timmy."
*gives Timmy a playful shove into the Blog of Eternal Stench*
"Ha ha! Daddy's just teasin' you, Timmy. Isn't this fun?"

We have an office pool going on who gets eaten first; the safari hat blog of eternal stench guys or Enrique from the Southwestern Herpetologists society.
Also:
"What is that?" a young boy asked excitedly, pointing to a ripple in a far corner of the lake. "That black thing. Right behind the duck."
If it has got the ducks involved, you know there's something diabolical afoot.

Blog of eternal stench? Do you think he actually said that, or was it a typo?
And, imagine my disappointment when I read the article. You see, with Dave's heading, I had my hopes up that the critter had helped himself to a yummy, crunchy Tourist Snack.

You see, reptiles are going to play a crucial role in the future of this nation, so they should not be treated in such a demeaning manner. Take this story, which I am not making up, as proof. That is, if you dare...

Enrique Abbo...said. "Our main concern is that he comes out alive."
Excuse me, but shouldn't the main concern be that he just come out?

$800 a day for trying to catch an alligator?
Doesn't that seem a tad low for an activity that invites death and dismemberment?
Here's your $800, stumpy. Thanks.

It's been a quiet summer in my hometown....

LA is a little far from San Diego for me to worry about this. (so.ca. blogit check-in)

Hey, this would be a great opportunity to get rid of any number of annoying celebrities!
"Okay, in this scene, you swim out into the water and are mauled by an alligator! Possibly a caiman."
"Beautiful, man. What's my motivation?"
"You're filled with the angst of ennui."
"Yeah. When do I hop in?"
"How about now?"

alert reader,
geckos have foot-hairs?!
eeewwwww
Posted by: just sayin' | August 18, 2005 at 01:18 AM
Apparently, geckos DO have foot hair. And it is also apparently very sticky. No wonder I so rarely see any. I mean, really, what animal is going to mate with another animal with sticky foot hair? Ack.

Here's a picture of the bog from Labyrinth.
Am I the only one who was happy to see a Labyrinth quote in the news?
