Title: wow, steve irwin died
Post by: hiroshima on September 04, 2006, 05:23:06 AM
The aussies here probably know who he is, he is the guy who films "The Crocodile Diaries."  He was so much fun to watch on TV, had so much enthusiasm for what he did.  It was basically the only thing I watched on TV.  He seemed like a really nice, generous guy.

Here is the article:

I've been saying for years that he'd die doing all that playing around with wildlife malarky. I was hoping that it would have been a croc that bitten off his head, though. I feel like i've been robbed of a beautiful ending. :'(

"We're all very shocked. I don't know what the zoo will do without him. He's done so much for us, the environment and it's a big loss," said Paula Kelly, a local resident and volunteer at the zoo, after dropping off a wreath at the gate.


no, i would say that steve was the one who was shocked.


isn't it wierd how it happened out to sea with noone but crew around for miles?
i think his gold digging american wife did it.  i heard that her and the set (croc) fluffer have been meeting secretly for 8 months.
its always the american.

Come on, what's so far-fetched about being stabbed int he heart by a stingray?
Title: Re: wow, steve irwin died
Post by: McGiver on September 04, 2006, 08:36:32 AM
i think its a publicity stunt.

think about it:  he was boring because the novelty had worn off.  everybody thinks that what he does is safe.  but he dies, gets people thinking then he pulls an elvis at a burger king.

Ok, ok, ok I had a huge at a distance crush on this guy, so stop making fun of him :'( :'( :'(.  What's not to lust after with a guy who jumps into crocodile infested waters with his boots on???? :'(  And he's got, or had, that cute australian accent... :'(

Maybe you can make a runner for the morgue and nick his balls so that you can stick them on ice and have his babies.

awww. my ex-boyfriend used to pick up household spiders with his bare hands, so i can kind of see the appeal. it's just that i don't need to be rescued from crocodiles very often where i live, so it's not really a quality i look for in a man.  :-\

My cousin was at the same school as Steve (not same year) and says his TV personality was no act - it was always him all the time.  May have had ADHD.

News reports are his being stabbed by the stingray was on film and the film has been handed over to the coroner.

Sad.

I loved Steve Irwin and I am very sad he is dead. 

I saw a TV special he did of the ten most poisonous snakes in the world, where he found most of them in their native habitats and handled them.  There was one snake near the top of the deadly list that kept trying to bite him and he kept snapping it back while explaining that if it bit him, he would die instantly and I thought he would never live to be an old man.  He defied the odds longer than most people would have done and he died the way he lived, doing what he loved.

Steve did a lot of shit that was really amusing to make fun of.  I don't know if he would share the amusement, but I rather suspect he would.  I watched his shows, they entertained me, i like him, but I think it would honor him much more to make fun of him rather than mourn his death. I have funky ways of showing people respect, but mostly I HATE the traditional death ritual in this culture where we wear all black, sit in slience, recite trite speeches, and do our best to feel miserable.  If you were at your funeral, would you stick around that crap if there was so much as a dairy queen next door?

Wow, that has got to be a great story to tell folks wherever he's going. It was sad that his wife was probably the last one to find out because she was hiking in the mountains at the time. That must have been an interesting marriage. It's kind of depressing because knowing about his life and his death reminds me of how boring my life is. At least the stingrays are gonna get a little more respect now. I wouldn't be too surprised if people are thinking twice about petting them in the aquariums today.

I love rays; they're so friendly.  Poor stingray, getting attacked by big nasty Steve Irwin and having to defend itself.   :'(
