I got back to teh intarwebs to find all the Steve Irwin jokes taken already. Not that I think it's entirely in good taste—that dude was awesome and I was completely addicted to his show when I had cable. Then again, if he'd stuck with koalas and wombats he'd still be with us today.

*sniff*

(And don't tell me that no one would watch a show with a guy chilling with koalas and wombats. That'd be even better than a show with a guy sticking his hand into crocodiles' mouths.)

You never know, maybe he'd have contracted some rare protoplasmic blood parasite from a wombat bite.

(Which reminds me, in a very tangential way, of this job I had where I had to process IRA accounts for the deceased. The most interesting part of the job was that every file contained a copy of the account holder's death certificate. One was for a young man who was the same age as me. His occupation was listed as "Owner, Pet Store." His cause of death was "Anaphylytic Shock: Pet Hair Allergy." Death by kittens! :( ... I guess he didn't know about his allergy or he might've run a book store instead.)

I find it somewhat ironic that crocodiles didn't do him in, but that evil deed was carried out by a mostly harmless (to humans, anyhow) stingray. They let you pet stingrays at some aquariums.

I'm sad, but I take comfort in knowing that Jebus will send that stingray to Hell.

If it's any consolation, I think it's funny. But I also think that It Rubs the Lotion on Its Skin would make a great band name, if it hasn't already been taken.

It's not the stingray's fault!

I'm going to have to disagree with you. That's just typical liberal namby-pambiness and stingray-coddling. Today they take out one nature show host, tomorrow, it could be a Senator scuba-diving on a lobbyist-funded informational furlough in Maui. The War on Terror has a new enemy and its name is Dasyatidae!

I heard on Fox News that stingrays have been working on amphibious technology that will make it possible for them to travel on land.

I hear they were funded by an independent PAC called Sea Urchins for Truth. We've seen them before. Remember this ad?

A+

I love those colors. Red and black are so iconic.


Also, I can summarize the tragic fate of your animal show in three words: wombats with nunchuks.

Hey, wombats with nunchuks are far less deadly than cows with guns.

We will work for bovine freedom
Or diiiiiie.

Oh. I'm totally down with the snark. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't somehow working for the "other" other side.

Does that mean you don't want to hear any Steve Irwin jokes?

Because I totally thought "[livejournal.com profile] sabotabby" when I saw this.

His awesome animated icon is worth a look as well.

Too bad he didn't get killed by a croc; I would have loved to have been able to say to people "The Crocodile Hunter became the Crocodile Hunted. And lost."

"He was killed by a stingray!? What a croc!"

It's kind of funny how Australians came to ressent Crocodile Dundee as a caricature of Australians but they embraced Irwin, the real life actuation of the fictional character, as a national hero.

I KNOW! Wombats and Koalas are far less lethal than the World's Deadliest. Even my stepdad, who makes fun of people when they die, didn't make fun of Steve.
