So, would that make him Crocodile Peewee?

Everything's bigger in Texas!

I'd like to say, "Poor gator", but the truth is that that thing could have the gators that have run from me for breakfast. Probably have me for lunch.

When I was 5 I was chasing fireflies and having nightmares about things like this. Kids have changed. Or maybe I was just slow.

Wow! Sounds like Texas is a place where men are boys and crocs are nervous--or they should be.

Simon's next hunting target should be the story's copy editor.

*is glad on so many levels that I don't live in Texas.*

In the early '70's my family and I traveled, by car, across the U.S. N.C. to California. We were on our way to Clark AFB, Philippines. I was very young but old enough to have heard about the population explosion and how we were running out of land. After about 6 hours of lovely driving through Texas I told my dad I didn't know why they were so worried about running out of land. We still had Texas. I thought it was the biggest place I had ever seen.

Water that gator or it won't grow.
Posted by: Clankazoid | September 30, 2009 at 09:25 PM
If the kid claims that a gator ate his homework, I wouldn't ask too many questions.

nursecindy, you can't get to the Philippines by car... just sayin'...
Posted by: frodolives | September 30, 2009 at 10:37 PM
I know a short cut frodo.
Posted by: nursecindy | September 30, 2009 at 11:16 PM
LOL!!!!

Y'all want shoes, now?

Hollow it out, put a couple of hinges on one side, and it would make a most excellent toy box.

The mom's larger fear: "Can I keep him? Pleeeeeease?????"

Charity gator wash. Charity gator wash. Get your gator washed here.

WriterDude...Amen to that! But, to be fair, that's one publication where "up to my a$$ in alligators" can be taken literally.
Posted by: Betsy | October 01, 2009 at 08:16 AM
Wow, they've already made a kids's show about this.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | October 01, 2009 at 09:11 AM
"Hey, Mom? Guess what I caught?"
"A rabbit?"
"No, Ma'am."
"Not a snake?"
"Oh, No Ma'am."
"Well, whatever it is, you can't bring it in the house until you clean it up."
"Okay!"

Waves at everyone!
Posted by: Hammond Rye | October 01, 2009 at 10:17 AM
Big wave to everyone.
Posted by: nursecindy | October 01, 2009 at 10:22 AM
and my favorite wave...
Posted by: Allen at Division | October 01, 2009 at 10:36 AM
WAFs to all!
Posted by: frodolives | October 01, 2009 at 10:39 AM
*WAFFLES for everyone!!!*
um...oh wait.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 01, 2009 at 10:40 AM
After we finish those great looking waffles maybe we should take Dave's advice and increase our dosages. btw Allen. My wave is bigger than yours. That would probably sound better coming from another guy.
Posted by: nursecindy | October 01, 2009 at 10:49 AM
Oooh! Waffles!
Posted by: Hammond Rye | October 01, 2009 at 10:50 AM
I agree, cindy. Boredom is a dangerous thing here in Blog Land. Although we've been known to amuse ourselves quite easily at times.
Who's got the Twister™???
Posted by: Siouxie | October 01, 2009 at 10:56 AM
Instead of Twister let's play Mystery Date Siouxie. I love that game.
Posted by: nursecindy | October 01, 2009 at 10:59 AM
Book 'em, Danno!
Posted by: bonmot | October 01, 2009 at 11:06 AM
Ahem, Dave is on vacation and the Blog is out of control! As to the original subject, didn't it seem odd that they found the gator on "another hunter's bait". Where I was raised if you mess with my traps (or my still) the fuedin is going to start!
BTW, I vote for twister.

Does everybody think that this mat will be big enough?
Posted by: nursecindy | October 01, 2009 at 11:21 AM
WD - NO JOKE!!! >< I think I went cross-eyed when she mentioned the "book shelve." GAH.
Posted by: Tim "The Toolman" Taylor | October 01, 2009 at 11:44 AM
Names have been changed (back) to protect the innocent.
Posted by: Diva | October 01, 2009 at 11:44 AM
Cindy, my wave had cooler music...
Posted by: Allen at Division | October 01, 2009 at 01:23 PM
But this is a big snake
