Gators?!

[psycledelic]

They are treated like royalty at Kiawah Island, SC.  Nothing like dropping $150 on a round of golf and having to skip a hole cause of a 10' gator soakin' up the rays on the green.  He just looked at us kind of like, "I'm a make the beast with two backsin' alligator, what U gonna do?!"  He had a good point.  I sure as hell wasn't gonna be the one telling him to move!

I was at Kiawah one spring and there was about a 6 footer sunning out behind the house we were staying in.

Of course I decided it would be a good idea to sneak up to him and hit him in the head with a stick.

I was all ready, remembered how to run to get away from a gator, my friends were all watching, etc.

Hit that make the beast with two backser square in the top of the head with the stick.  Made a loud ass clunk.

Absolutely no reaction whatsoever.

I was so disappointed.

That story could have gone so many ways.  Probably best that it ended in a disappointment.  Although..it would be cool if you said you hit it on the head, the gator turned around and as you started to run, you slipped in gator sh*t and it caught your leg and did the death roll on you.   

D*mn..where's that clip of the guy on the river bank?!

Damn, that was some brave, I mean stupid, I mean (lets meet in the middle and call it heroic) shit.  I think there is some outrageous fine/penalty for make the beast with two backsing with them. (other then the loss of a foot)  It would of sucked if the gator you smacked was one of the "don't feed the alligator" decoys the wildlife authorities use.  That video would have been hilarious.

A gator snatched a Basset Hound from the edge of one of the lagoons a couple of summers ago.  We didn't see it, but heard the commotion.  The old lady "walking" the dog went hysterical.  When we got over there, she was hunched over one of the "Beware of Alligators" signs, screaming for Buster to come back.

Should I feel bad for laughing about that last part?

And yeah, that would've been pretty hilarious if the gator were a decoy.  Especially because I was seriously contemplating jumping on its back and strapping its mouth closed with my belt after it didn't react to the stick.

Oh to be young and stupid again.

Nah, I laughed a little.  My wife told me that I should be ashamed of myself, but in my defense, Buster and I weren't that close. 

I would probably be upset if my dog got snatched by a gator, but I probably wouldn't let my dog walk next to a body of water that had signs saying, "Beware of Alligators".
