Gator Encounter

[Sheila@detailcity]

Today I was working out at a swanky condo and the grounds keeper and I are friends. I was down talking to him (he is also an offical gator trapper and avid hunter and fisherman. He spends a lot of time in Alaska too. He's an older fella and I have never seen him without a safari hat on! He's so cute!)

Anway, he's telling me about his weekend in the Everglads, fishing on an airboat at two in the morning, and all of a sudden says "hey, I have two gators in my truck. Want to see em?"

Heck yes! We walk over to his truck and I hear hissing...yes, hissing.....and growling. He opens up the tailgate (he had a topper on) and there was a 10 foot gator, mean as could be! He also had a little one (about 5 feet) in there too (he was waiting for the State to pick them up. )

I am telling you, that thing stared me down. He was a mean sucker. I did feel sorry for him, though.

Captain said he has caught over 600 of them, for the state. :wow: He's a cool dude. Just thought some of you Yanks would appreciate a good gator tale!

Wow that must have been interesting seeing a Gator in the bed of a truck.
And Go Gators!

That's why I love traveling down "alligator alley" so many speed bumps.

[Old Pirate]

Many yrs ago, I had one near my house that would guard my place when i was not home. He never did come near me or my back pouch. Then one day he moved away (people crying), county moved him to another area.................

Troy do I need to send your wife a Gators Tshirt for Christmas!:notme:

 

[Sheila@detailcity]

Actually, to be really honest...I could care less about College football..I am more of an NFL girl. But, if I had to pick one, it would be Noles (only because I almost went there for school)!:cheers:

Ok if you went there to school you should be a Noles without a doubt, tell Troy to get over it!!! More importantly, what is your NFL team?:redface:

Oh I'm over it! She almost went there just like I almost went to Harvard.

Reggie Green is the PE coach at our kids school. He was a well known Gator and played in the NFL. So every kid in our school is a Gators fan because of him. He is very special to their school because of his testimony. All the kids love him.

I have always been a Gators fan because I used to go to the parties up there when my best friend from high school was there. :redface:

I actually have a friend who went to FSU but is a Gator fan.:hmmm: He explained it to me but it still seems pretty odd to me.:huh:

Her team is probably the Packers because she is from Wisconsin but she has been known to like the Dolphins with me when Marino played. Now that I play fantasy football I don't really have a favorite team and niether does she.

 

[Meghan]

Ohh I see someone is touchy about this....:rofl Its ok, I am a Gator fan by choice.... loved the days when Steve was coaching and we were winning!
As for NFL teams I will side with her as a Packers fan, but not with your Dolphins, since I am a Pats fan!:rockon Troy if you want I can send you a Pats jersey for Christmas, you know Dwayne will be over your house trying to bum a hot meal from you on the holidays, so I can send it with him!

 

[Troy@Protekt]

Gators stuff is welcome here but you are better off giving the Pats jersey to someone else. I only liked them last year when I had Moss and Brady on my fantasy team.

 

[TeamDestruction]

I'll take the Pats jersey!
The Gators are still winning with Urban Meyer.

Just put a bet down with an officer in the Warrants Division. I work deep in Crimson territory. I bet on the Gators, because see those shoulder pads the Gators wear? I bought them for the team with my tuition money for my 2 sons!
