Yep. Since they won the NCAA Men's Basketball Championship it's been like that.
You think they might be Alien Alligators?
I thought Ripley killed them off?
Huh???
Yikes, I could have sworn I typed taken not take. I really do know proper grammar! sheesh....

The Predators will come down in search of Aliens, and then the alligators show up, and then...
I'm a little surprised that four hits didn't appear to phase the gator too much.
My dream is to own a alligator farm. And feed them poodles and other small dogs.
Even if it was eating your dog??

Catching a permit on fly in Florida.
Frey said the gunshot wounds appeared to self-heal and the wildlife officer put the gator back in the lake.
We need a "Guest Gator" program now.
Believ it or not, there is a real Manatee Woman...

Probably not what you expected, though.
LOL! Too close. Looks much better in a bun with mustard.
He was way too slippery to keep on the bun! ;)

If I recall correctly, wasn't there an uptick in the reports of shark attacks just prior to 9/11?
I just love the tone of this article - the alligator's attacking this woman's dogs, lunging at her, and the "journalist" makes it sound like she and others in this situation are the one who are hysterically overreacting! I guess now we're supposed to just sit back and do nothing while aggressive gators take our dogs, take our kids or tear us to pieces.
I expected nothing more from the SHT, of course.
You got to be kidding me? Protect your own life from a gator attack, and get charged for hunting without a permit. Like she really went hunting for the gator? Asinine!
"Last time we had such animal vs man hysteria (omigod! sharks!) was early September, 2001..."
I was just thinking that myself. Most thought it was media generated hysteria, but some thought it was sunspot activity, whether that was credible or not. I recall a factoid about revolutions coinciding with solar max, with someone posting the 11 year cycle back to 1066 (Norman Invasion). It was interesting, because there were more than a few years of upheaval coinciding with the cycle.
Frey said the gunshot wounds appeared to self-heal and the wildlife officer put the gator back in the lake.
The officer questioned Frey about the shooting.
Frey thought she was going to jail, but ended up with a warning citation for hunting without a permit.
The funny part is that in Florida if a person came onto her property, attacked her dog, and she shot him, there would be no citation.
Jetskiing with the gators is fun, my rules are
1. Don't fall off
2. Don't fall off
3. If the gator is longer than my jetski-(11'6") stay 50ft away.
