HOLY SHIT. Steve Irwin, Rest in Peace

Steve Irwin is dead. Long live the Croc Hunter.

I loved his show. The guy was freaking nutz and stuff, but he loved animals and conservation. What a guy.

Was fur ein mensch.

Close enough.

I'll miss you Steve Irwin.

Wow! What a way to die...

I guess he went out with his boots (fins) on.

I know. I'M FREAKING OUT!!! I loved him. It's so wierd...but when I read about it this morning...it really made me sad and I don't even know the guy.

Ooh snap, chuckles. Sorry. My post today was a bit dismissive -- thirty lashes with a wet noodle.

Anyway, what a bizarre way to go. I mean, all the poisonous snakes and crocodiles and such, and he gets done in by a stingray! I've fished for them before in the Bay (good eatin'.) People get stung all the time -- usually waders or fishermen, and the wounds end up on the lower legs. The wounds are almost never fatal. Just how the hell do you get a barb in your chest???

It was underneath him. Bizarre. He died as he lived, though. There isn't much better than that.

I agree, Chuckles. A shame he went so young, and I feel for his wife and kids, but he was doing what he loved.

The Motivational Posters thread on RPG.net has a whole mess of posters on Steve's death (pages 630-634) and I am actually getting choked up.

He was a kind of a clown and I haven't seen one of his shows in years, but I watched them every chance I could until the summer of 2004, when I moved out of my free cable apartment. I even own the 50 minute Biography of Irwin video. What a guy.

I'm sitting here watching Miami Ink. Some skeezy Florida white trash is getting a portrait of his brother, who died in a drunk driving accident, tattooed on his flabby torso.

Can someone please send an alligator to eat me?
