NYC was built on a swamp. Some parts of the city like CoOp City [the residents made it a *swamp* the moment they moved in] in the Bronx were.
There was quicksand in the Times Square area. In 1904, the Hotel Darlington was being constructed on West 46th between 5th and 6th Avenues and it collapsed killing 25 workers because it was partially built on quicksand. The owner of the Hotel Patterson on the 47th St side of the block had quicksand trouble when building his hotel and had to go down 30 feet efore they hit bedrock.
I thought the only dogs Gators like to eat are Bulldogs.
Should have let them go extinct when we had the chance but NOOOO - the environazis stepped in instead. How many kids are going to die from these things before we get rid of them?
I like that show and Elizabeth is a lot of fun, but is that the only shirt the guy owns? LOL
I’d declare open season on alligators. Let people do what they will with them - I’m not aware that they serve any particularly useful function other than that of becoming wallets. Do they keep any other species in check (besides dogs that is?)
His shirt has its own FB page! LOL
That's wha I'm talkin' about.
My sister and bro-in-law have one and personally I think they're stupid dogs........theirs walks around with a look on its face as if it's saying "Huh?".....
From an interview w/ Try. Like a lot a captains/fishermen, he is superstitious: ‘On his signature striped polo shirt:
It is my lucky shirt, and I had about seven or eight of em and Im down to about three now. Im trying to find me some new ones, and the wife cant find none thats exactly the same. So, ah, I dont know what Im gonna do in the future. I need to find me some new ones and weve been looking, and they are hard to find exactly like that. But it is my lucky shirt. Thats why I catch all those big onesI always wear that shirt.’
[Sounds like a business opportunity here, folks!]
No one is forcing anyone else to live here, you can always get an apartment overlooking Central Park.
There is a legal question here. If the dog was illegally off the leash, should the gator have been prosecuted and then executed.
The are lots of precedents always used by insurers to defend clients that run over dogs. If the dog was running astray, it was in violation and the dog’s owner is liable, not the driver.
The owner is liable, not the gator. The gator was killed in vain.
I thought the gator was killed in Florida?
Were Rick Perry the owner, he’d have shot the gator/.
Anybody who allows their dog to walk within 20 feed of a lake or canal in Florida is an idiot. The dog doesn’t know any better. The gator is just doing what’s natural. You expect the pet owner to to be more intelligent than the dog or gator.
LOL
Don't forget sauce piquant, gumbo, and fried gator tail.
At least the dog didn’t suffer.
This is my backyard. The water levels are so low, the gators are swimming below the gates, right from the Everglades.
