I realize that I live in a city that Hollywood or a novelist could not invent.  The authorities shot a 10 foot alligator about 5 miles from where I live.  It was evidently driven out of its normal habitat by the flooding.  Here are some pictures.

They took a ten footer out of the drainage ditch that ran next to my high school the week before classes started my senior year

Actually, it was a very small hole from the other shots that I chose not to post.  It's a shame.  The photographs made him seem like a king of the swamp.

Because it's a wild alligator, its meat can't be sold on the open market.  I've had alligator sausage and its awfully good.

  • You're goddamn right.
  I love the photos of the alligator's EYE.  I also covet the satiny blue shorts worn by the big guy loading the gator into the truck.   :checkout:

 Yes, those little boots are sassy!  Now I feel like raiding the mall and buying tons of cute new shoes!   :cheer:

If by bang stick you mean a gun, yes.  I'm not sure if it was a rifle or pistol or whether it was the Sheriff's deputies, the levee board police or an wild game guy.

A picture of a bangstick is above.  Basically part of a gun on the end of a pole.  When the end strikes an object the bullet is fired into said object.

I went back and looked at the other pictures.  Evidently the guy in the blue shorts shot him because there is a picture of him holding a rifle.

Why use one? The point of a gun is that the user doesn't have to be that close to the target when it's fired. A bangstick is a slightly more dangerous spear.
