Utopia Talk / Politics / (OT) Florida man wrestles with aligator

Paramount Member	Sun Nov 22 03:10:14 (CNN)In a dramatic encounter recorded by surveillance cameras, a Florida man chased an alligator under water and rescued his 3-month-old puppy from the jaws of death. Richard Wilbanks, 74, of Estero ran into his backyard pond, wrestled the gator above surface, and pried its jaws open to free Gunner, his Cavalier King Charles spaniel. "We were just out walking by the pond," Wilbanks told CNN, "and it came out of the water like a missile. I never thought an alligator could be that fast. It was so quick." He said adrenaline or instinct kicked in, and "I just automatically jumped into the water." Holding the alligator wasn't so tough, but prying open the jaws was "extremely hard," he said. Wilbanks said his hands were "chewed up," and he went to a doctor for a tetanus shot. Gunner was mostly unharmed. http://edi...ligator-rescue-trnd/index.html
habebe Member	Sun Nov 22 03:15:12 This is why Muricans are tougher than Euros. When was the last time a 74 year old German rescued their pet from the jaws of death.Thats kind of gangster.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Sun Nov 22 03:22:13 Habeb Oh I’m sorry, you must have fallen and wooped your head. Cue the reel of Swedish men scaring off moose and bear, UNARMED. Pffft, alligators are known to be pussies. Let me see you do that with a salt water croc.
habebe Member	Sun Nov 22 03:29:45 Are you talking to me? I dont see anyone else and you addressed me so onguess so. O grew up fighting sharks, great whites. I was actually taught Chun Nuk Do by a stunt double for the Jaws. My sensei for Chucks Norrises martial art was a fucking great white shark!
Paramount Member	Sun Nov 22 03:30:07 Mooses can be pretty dangerous. They will run into you and then kick at your head. One kick and you are basically dead.
Habebe Member	Sun Nov 22 03:39:43 No mooses down south. Crazy amounts of snakes and spiders. Bunch of wierd bugs. Coyotes and gators are probably the biggest critters to worry about. I also recently found out that Pit vipers can still strike when they are too cold to really move. The majority of thr snakes on my property are Copperheads, Ive personally killed about 20 in the last year and a half, 15 of which when I first got down here and started cleaning up the yard.Had to keep a loaded shotgun and a roofing pike to move shit.
Paramount Member	Sun Nov 22 05:08:26 Do you have ticks also? .
patom Member	Sun Nov 22 06:35:57 Paramount, in Maine we have ticks, coyotes, Moose, deer, bear, geese, turkey, bob cats, Lynx, no poisonous snakes though.
Daemon Member	Sun Nov 22 06:36:57 "When was the last time a 74 year old German rescued their pet from the jaws of death." One of a million examples: http://www...-stole-his-laptop-2766863.html
patom Member	Sun Nov 22 06:47:09 The gator wasn't all that big. I would have done the same thing.
Paramount Member	Sun Nov 22 07:10:18 Ticks are like the most dangerous animal in Sweden. I think they are the cause of the most nuisance per year in Sweden. Moose, wolves and bears doesn’t come close.
Dukhat Member	Sun Nov 22 08:55:27 Mooses have been dying off in droves because of climate change in America. Tick colonies are moving much farther north now due to the lack of cold and sucking huge moose dry. The rangers have had their hands full trying to manage them for the last few years.
chuck Member	Sun Nov 22 10:08:55 Mynd you, møøse bites Kan be pretty nasti
habebe Member	Sun Nov 22 10:21:59 We have ticks down here. But they are not very prevalent.But I also dont hike as much here so maybe they are and I just dont realize it.
obaminated Member	Sun Nov 22 12:03:58 Mooses is not a word, you uneducated moron.
obaminated Member	Sun Nov 22 12:07:37 Also steve irwin wrestled gators all the time. It was the damn stingrays that got him. Fun fact, if he had left the barb from the stingray in his heart and gone to the hospital he likely would have lived. Pulling it out is why it killed him in minutes. Same general principle as leaving a knife in the wound and getting medical help rather than yanking it out and trying to stem the bleeding.
habebe Member	Sun Nov 22 12:34:20 What was really impressive to me was that this guy was 74 and wrestled a gator.
renzo marQuez Member	Sun Nov 22 12:55:28 Nimatzo iChihuaha Sun Nov 22 03:22:13 "Habeb Oh I’m sorry, you must have fallen and wooped your head. Cue the reel of Swedish men scaring off moose and bear, UNARMED." Wouldn't try to save a Swedish women from a pack of feral rapefugees tho.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Sun Nov 22 14:11:54 Obaminated is correct, the plural for moose is meese.
patom Member	Sun Nov 22 15:18:34 The danger with ticks is Lyme disease. My wife had a touch of it last year and was on strong antibiotics. Lucky we caught it early. This year we only got 4 ticks, one of them was on my fat ass. Found it while I was taking a shower. we keep a container with alcohol to throw them in. Last year we found close to a dozen.
obaminated Member	Sun Nov 22 15:35:47 No it is not, the plural for moose is moose.
habebe Member	Sun Nov 22 15:53:40 I'm pretty sure Nimatzo was joking.
obaminated Member	Sun Nov 22 16:06:28 Whoosh on me then
jergul large member	Sun Nov 22 22:18:48 One moose, meese, a pod of meese. You know, like a gaggle of whales, or a murder of hens.
The Children Member	Mon Nov 23 01:26:36 wrestled with "baby alligator" fixed the title.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Nov 23 07:52:43 I thought moose were related to geese. You learn every day, you know, like Ben Franklin invented electricity. None of this is real any way, it's all chemicals in your brain.
Nimatzo iChihuaha	Mon Nov 23 07:54:10 :D
Paramount Member	Mon Nov 23 08:43:44 Goose - Geese Moose - Meese
Dakyron Member	Mon Nov 23 09:23:06 Ben Franklin is the DEVIL!
habebe Member	Mon Nov 23 13:45:51 Ben Franklin was the founder of ISIS.
patom Member	Mon Nov 23 13:47:42 Speaking of critters: http://ban...te-on-mountain-lions-in-maine/ It seems every year there are random reports of mountain lions in Maine. It's possible but with the numbers of people wandering all over the Maine woods year round I still find it highly unlikely.
habebe Member	Mon Nov 23 22:58:14 Holy shit, has anyone actually seen the video? the guy doesnt even take the cigar out of his mouth while " wrestling" the gator. To add context he picka the gator up with his hands, so it is small. Definitley gangster as dhitt though for 74 year old, watch the video.

Paramount Member	Tue Nov 24 11:49:05 Gangsta would be if you were walking your puppy in the woods, and if a bear attacked your puppy and you wrestled with the bear to free your puppy from its jaws.
Paramount Member	Tue Nov 24 11:53:11 So I decided to google meese to see if it actually means anything. Wiki says: Plural of moose, by analogy with goose → geese. http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/meese moose (plural moose or (dated, rare) mooses or (non-standard, jocular) meese) http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/moose So I guess you can say moose, mooses or meese. All of them would be correct?
Dakyron Member	Wed Nov 25 10:20:45 Moose is correct. If you say mooses, you are an old fart(patom). If you say meese, you are a stupid fucktard(habebe). That is what it means.
habebe Member	Wed Nov 25 14:49:15 Dakyron again showing he types before he reads...
