A spunky 17-year-old who had his right arm partially torn from his body during a vicious alligator attack, told FoxNews.com that he wants the alligator’s head.

"I'm going to use it for a prosthetic armrest," Kaleb Langdale said in an exclusive interview. “I want his head."

Just hate the blood lust. Animal does what he’s supposed to do and if you get hurt in the process then it’s off with his head. Yeah that will show them who is king.

Too bad the gator didn't live. Then the boy could have wrapped it in a comfy blanket and watch tv with him. Yeah, that's the ticket.

The skills most would learn from the show is to know better than to jump in swamps teeming with hungry alligators. I've never seen the show, yet but by some amazing quirk of fate, have managed to never jump in an alligator swamp myself. Uncanny.

Maybe he was looking for some polk salad. Perhaps his daddy was a lazy no count who claimed he had a bad back.
Maybe all his brothers were fit for was stealin’ watermelons out of a truck patch

What about the mean-spirited people? Could we stand to lose a few of those?

Interesting that you should say that since I have someone in mind.

Note to kid:

Obtain gator heads BEFORE diving into water.
