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

Great croc material!
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
I thought this was gonna mostly be ab=out hideous footwear, so this was a nice surprice.
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!!!!
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. 😳
Oh yes, I do miss them all! The world needs more like them.

@ Parnassus (Jim) -- Keep 'em coming! I'm an Ogden Nash fan!
I love these, especially the fabulous croc!
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.

You can see how good that scratch feels! And those beautiful butterflies.
@ Kay G. -- GROAN! But at least, now I know!
A great collection of the good guys that are gone.
food with a stick..hahahahah...and yes I miss all 4 of them.sigh****
I love the Alligator Itch. Looks just like Buddy getting a good scratch.
All very funny ones. I still can't make the difference between an alligator and a crocodile.
You do make a memorable fun meme festival. Just about crocs.
The sign to runners is interesting. Eek!
The Caiman and the butterflies are just too cute.
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.
Four missed guys, for sure.
All very funny.
The last picture does tug at the heart strings
I miss Jim Henson the most. Kermit's voice literally hasn't been the same since he died.
They will be here after us.
the Ol'Buzzard
I think one has a pointed nose and the other is more rounded..I just never remember which is which..Don't want to be near either one!!
food with a stick! hahahaha

I don't what it is gators, make me feel uneasy.
Coffee is on, and stay safe.
Thank you, funny stuff. I can't tell gators and crocs apart either!

The alligator looks comfortable, forgetting to catch foods.

The running sign was great. Same with the gang at the end.
Caymans need to feel pretty too sometimes! LOL, and so do I
