Maybe Mayorkas was right about the border being under control & we didn’t realize he had a plan after all!

I grew up in Houston and we swam in every body of water within a 100 miles, river, lakes, ponds, bayou.

How did Alligators take over everything?

I have completed forgotten about that show.

Be funny if when all the secrets of the universe come out in the wash, it turns out that the border problem was solved by one kid at heart who had been inspired by... Hanna-Barbera Productions, linked up to a wall pun.

Can Do!

Holy Smokes, would you just look at that wall of inspiration?!!

Quick Draw McGraw! Wacky Races! The Flintstones! And I don't have to remind anyone around here about Yogi and Boo-Boo.

Inspiration:

"This may be the best song you ever heard in your whole life. Then again, it may not be." ~ Waylon Jennings

SEND MOAR: Greg Abbott: Alligators are in the Rio Grande. FYI there are warning signs posted in some sectors. Cross at your own risk.

Bet NYC sewers have plenty to spare.

Hope migrants don't know the Stinky Lullaby...

The video shows a male alligator— back below the waterline, vibrating in typical this time of year Mating behavior- i.e. a courtship display creating vibrations in the water, sounds which are very low frequency and travel for great distances under the water. The water vibrates above the back of the male alligator from these sonic vibrations. They also head slap the water, loudly and also bellow. Fair frightening especially if one is in the water or in a canoe or boat nearby. Looks to be a 10 footer or so, without any landside gauge to compare size.

They sound and look like this bellowing and vibrating the water— deep bellow and subsonic vibration water dancing:
