April 11, 200422 yr Saturday, me, my brother, and a neighbor caught a 3 ft gator in a retention pond by my house.
April 11, 200422 yr Author haha. Naw, he didnt fit. So we dropped him off at this ditch/pond type place over by the middle school.

April 12, 200422 yr Author haha, that sounded bad. Well, I mean I guess it could wreak havoc over there, but it was the closest spot to drop it off without being by us (we wouldnt have minded, but the pond is right next to a house that has toddlers). I mean, I would assume there are already gators and snakes galore by that middle school, and I havent heard of any problems.
April 12, 200422 yr OK, I'm an ingonorant, transplanted Northerner, but forgive me a question.... Even though the future pair of shoes you caught was really small, doesn't it still pose a threat? I mean, can't it do some damage (ie. bye bye appendage) if you were stupid with it? Good job putting it by the middle school, though. I smell social Darwinism coming on for some really stupid little kid... But hey, that's why you've got 5 fingers instead of one, that way when you lose one it ain't so bad.

May 10, 200422 yr OK, what is a "brim?" Is that something that could be associated with the activity called "frog giggin?" Oh, and as an elitist Northerner I agree, you all do look like a bunch of shiit-kickin hillpeople in that pic. Put some dualing banjos music to that pic.....
May 10, 200422 yr Oh, and as an elitist Northerner I agree, you all do look like a bunch of shiit-kickin hillpeople in that pic. Put some dualing banjos music to that pic..... :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lolneverend ding ding ding we have a winner
May 10, 200422 yr Author a brim is actually a possum penis. Possum in Florida love to hang out around swampy areas (hence all the roadkill at night around me house). Anyways, Bullfrogs will actually knock the possum's penis straight off their body with their tongues. They taste wonderful if fried right, and gotten before the mosquitos lay their eggs in the urethra. P.S. frog gigging is fun...don't knock it.

May 12, 200422 yr once again....who says it's a bad thing? I dont think U should be eating a possums penis. No wonder ppl think southerners are dumbasses. Good thing Miami doesnt count as the South!

I could of gone my whole life without knowing any of this. I guess the only thing good about you revealing this "knowledge" to me is that I now can go tell all my Northern freinds (You know, the people with teeth) to go suck a brim. Good thing Miami doesnt count as the South You know what they say..... South Florida is the only place in the United States where you have to go North to get to the Deep South!
May 20, 200422 yr UPDATE: Looks like they found the gator you let go a couple of weeks ago...... Boy fends off alligator attack with swift punch 'It took a bite out of my head and a big chunk out of my ear' Thursday, May 20, 2004 Posted: 5:39 PM EDT (2139 GMT) DELTONA, Florida (AP) -- An alligator dragged a 12-year-old swimmer underwater in a lake, but the boy punched the reptile and swam safely to shore. Malcolm Locke was treated for cuts and scrapes that were not considered life threatening. He was bitten while swimming Wednesday in Lake Diana, near his grandmother's house just north of Orlando. He saw the alligator's tail first, he said. "It was coming right at me," he told NBC's "Today" show Thursday. Malcolm, who is 5 feet, 4 inches tall, tried to swim away, but the alligator, which was 4 to 6 feet long, attacked his head and pulled him under water, officials said. "It took a bite out of my head and a big chunk out of my ear," Malcolm said. He punched the alligator, and "it just squirmed away," he said. He swam to shore, and a neighbor drove him to a hospital. A trapper was sent to the lake to remove the alligator. The boy's mother, Misty Warren, said the family has seen alligators in the area before, but none had ever bothered them. The best thing to do during an alligator attack is struggle, make noise and create confusion, said Joy Hill, a spokeswoman for the Florida Fish & Wildlife Conservation Commission. "Malcolm did the right thing," Hill said. "He fought the alligator and it let him go."
May 20, 200422 yr Author what a badass that kid is! This story makes me even more happy that I removed the gator from our neighborhood and put it in swamp.
