And a towel. Douglas Adams was right. And of course, Don't Panic. Has anybody seen my Ford Prefect?

I can dig it, he can dig it
She can dig it, we can dig it
They can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby
I can dig it, he can dig it
She can dig it, we can dig it
They can dig it, you can dig it
Oh, let's dig it
Can you dig it, baby

[man tom, "dig it"]

In high school once in a while I would say to my friends, "dig it," instead of, "that's so cock man." Like if we were at the lunch table talking about stuff.

In her defense, why is it there's never a really large python around when you really need one? In the gator's defense, it didn't know shovel season for hunting alligators had started.

So, the woman was attacked by a female alligator, and the gator had a shovel. That is scary.

This happened just down the road from my abode. Another reason I don't stroll at night since relocating from Arizona.

There's a playful 4-foot gator in the small lake in my backyard.

Once the neighbor's pets begin to disappear, they'll call the trapper.

A 9-foot Burmese Python was found splooting on the sidewalk of my hotel in Naples when I was moving here. It's best to carry a shovel or firearm to deal with the critters and unruly motorists here in Floridaaa!

pharmaross--You should remember why there are no alligators in the Southwest: The chupacabras ate them.

Sheepherding is a dangerous job since the chupacabras developed a taste for them over sheep or goats after the alligators became extinct.

We also have Gila Monster lizards, more species of rattlesnakes than scientists can classify, vampire bats, dust storms and space aliens.

Of course, Florida has the Everglades and some survivors from visiting there say there should be signs at the entrances: "Abandon hope all ye who enter here."

The place sounds like a discount Disneyland or most cities in California.

There is also Flathead County, but that is a blog for another day.

Actually, the alligator was trying to make the lady feel welcome. It seems the lady was visiting from Australia...

[pharmaross]

A sad reality I alluded to in my prior post...

@pr: Dogonit! Sounds like he took one for the team. I hate when that happens.
