Gators 'n Crocs

I can never tell them apart!











And speaking of Steve Irwin,
his place in the pantheon
is secure!


Don't you just
miss them ALL?

I know this back road in Florida, with gators like that along the side. It is a wonderful slow drive.

OMG I'm cackling. Get, you rascal! Get! LMAOO
Also, that IS a fabulous croc. The butterflies are a fantastic touch!

XOXO

Bob said...

I thought this was gonna mostly be ab=out hideous footwear, so this was a nice surprice.

Mistress Maddie said...

Debs!!!!!! Your genius!!!!! I HATE CROCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The damn ugliest thing I have ever seen! Feed them to Crocodiles, they'll eat anything!

You get 30 Princess points this week!!!!

Busy Bee Suz said...

Yes, I do miss them all and wish we had more like them!
I've had my share of run-ins with Alligators, but so far, not a crocodile. 😳

Martha said...

Oh yes, I do miss them all! The world needs more like them.

The Purist by Ogden Nash

I give you now Professor Twist,
A conscientious scientist,
Trustees exclaimed, "He never bungles!"
And sent him off to distant jungles.
Camped on a tropic riverside,
One day he missed his loving bride.
She had, the guide informed him later,
Been eaten by an alligator.
Professor Twist could not but smile.
"You mean," he said, "a crocodile."


Hi Debra, Tell me when you are getting sick of Ogden Nash quotes!

@ Parnassus (Jim) -- Keep 'em coming! I'm an Ogden Nash fan!

Pixie said...

I love these, especially the fabulous croc!

Kay G. said...

Oh, I do miss all of them!

How do you tell the difference between an alligator and crocodile?
That's easy- one you see later and the other in a while.

A friend told us a story of seeing a baby croc on a sidewalk in New Zealand. At our puzzled faces she laughed and showed us a picture of the tiny footwear.

I do indeed miss the Four Horsemen of Wholesomeness. Outstanding humans!

Liz Hinds said...

You can see how good that scratch feels! And those beautiful butterflies.

Debra She Who Seeks said...

@ Kay G. -- GROAN! But at least, now I know!

Mike said...

A great collection of the good guys that are gone.

yellowdoggranny said...

Barbara said...

I love the Alligator Itch. Looks just like Buddy getting a good scratch.

Guillaume said...

All very funny ones. I still can't make the difference between an alligator and a crocodile.

roentare said...

You do make a memorable fun meme festival. Just about crocs.

Marie Smith said...

The sign to runners is interesting. Eek!

Lady M said...

The Caiman and the butterflies are just too cute.

Mr. Shife said...

Crocs and gators for the win!! Nicely done, Debra. I love the four horsemen. We need more of those types of people in the world.

Joanne Noragon said...

Four missed guys, for sure.

angela said...

All very funny.
The last picture does tug at the heart strings

Kirk said...

I miss Jim Henson the most. Kermit's voice literally hasn't been the same since he died.

Ol'Buzzard said...

They will be here after us.

Loved the first one , but then of course I would xxx

peppylady (Dora) said...

I don't what it is gators, make me feel uneasy.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.

Richard said...

Thank you, funny stuff. I can't tell gators and crocs apart either!
The one,I say " in a while..." the other I say "see ya later..."

I would like to see one in the wild. I would probably try to climb a tree or run away, fast. I would ask a local for advice, before I venture in to those swampy places where they live. Yikes!

Richard said...

Ogden Nash is like a box of chocolates
I could not eat them everyday
But he says things
That no one else could say

I enjoy reading Ogden Nash quotes and poems.

Crikey!

baili said...

you made me find crocodiles Cute lol

great fun ,loved all dear Debra
wanna say again You Rock !

Richard said...

Honey, you are never old to me. I feel happy when I know that I have a friend in Alberta.

I do not know the name of your town. I used to have wild romantic
fantasies about life in Winnipeg, Manitoba. Because that is where the gay alien landed. Of all places! It is amazing.
Anyway, the moccasins are taking a rest. I am not touching them right now.

Alison said...

I've never tried Crocs, mostly because they are about the fugliest footwear I've ever seen. My daughter and granddaughter however love them. She just got a pair of bright pink Barbie-themed Crocs if you can picture that.

The alligator looks comfortable, forgetting to catch foods.

Adam said...

I thought it was strange when I worked at a supermarket called Publix which is based in Florida that you could special order alligator meat from the meat department. I'm glad I'm a vegetarian

The Happy Whisk said...

The running sign was great. Same with the gang at the end.

Rommy said...

Caymans need to feel pretty too sometimes! LOL, and so do I
