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!
ReplyDeleteI know this back road in Florida, with gators like that along the side. It is a wonderful slow drive.
ReplyDeleteOMG I'm cackling. Get, you rascal! Get! LMAOO
ReplyDeleteAlso, 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.
ReplyDeleteDebs!!!!!! Your genius!!!!! I HATE CROCS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The damn ugliest thing I have ever seen! Feed them to Crocodiles, they'll eat anything!
ReplyDeleteYou get 30 Princess points this week!!!!
Yes, I do miss them all and wish we had more like them!
ReplyDeleteI'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.

ReplyDeleteI 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."

@ Parnassus (Jim) -- Keep 'em coming! I'm an Ogden Nash fan!
ReplyDeleteI love these, especially the fabulous croc!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do miss all of them!
ReplyDeleteHow do you tell the difference between an alligator and crocodile?
That's easy- one you see later and the other in a while.

ReplyDeleteI do indeed miss the Four Horsemen of Wholesomeness. Outstanding humans!
You can see how good that scratch feels! And those beautiful butterflies.
ReplyDelete@ Kay G. -- GROAN! But at least, now I know!

ReplyDeleteAll very funny ones. I still can't make the difference between an alligator and a crocodile.
ReplyDeleteYou do make a memorable fun meme festival. Just about crocs.
ReplyDeleteThe sign to runners is interesting. Eek!
ReplyDeleteThe Caiman and the butterflies are just too cute.
ReplyDeleteCrocs and gators for the win!! Nicely done, Debra. I love the four horsemen. We need more of those types of people in the world.
ReplyDeleteFour missed guys, for sure.
ReplyDeleteAll very funny.
ReplyDeleteThe 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.
