BlackSS04 Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) Yeah his grandma was riding shotgun, the thing came crashing in while she was screaming that the devil was gonna take her The thing rolled over the place and it sounded like the world was ending. why was she screaming that the devil was gunna take here :crackup: was the pelican still alive while it was inside the car, thrashing around as shit. :crackup: i work on boats down here and i've seen pelicans do some stupied shit. they arn't that smart at all. when their flying beside the boat lookin for food, i like to dangle a bait right by the hull. they come flying in so fast that they hit their beaks on the side of the boat everytime. gives me a good laugh.

drako Posted June 15, 2007 Report Share Posted June 15, 2007 (edited) When I used to run a sailing camp of the grove (lifeguard) we ran into a saltwater croc. County couldnt remove it since they are endagered and the mangroves were its true habitat. Well that was the same year the croc hunter movie came out! And yes we caught adn rounded it up, it got lose in our boat (21 ft carolina skiff) Mouth started slapping all over the place finally grabbed it and threw it in! It was only about 5 ft but it was a helluva a lot of fun. Poor little guy wanted nothing to do with me. The next day I was walking on the dock where he happened to be sun bathing, the little guy almost killed himself to get out of the way why was she screaming that the devil was gunna take here :crackup: was the pelican still alive while it was inside the car, thrashing around as shit. :crackup: i work on boats down here and i've seen pelicans do some stupied shit. they arn't that smart at all. when their flying beside the boat lookin for food, i like to dangle a bait right by the hull. they come flying in so fast that they hit their beaks on the side of the boat everytime. gives me a good laugh. I think she was having a bad dream, either way shes nto a small woman so she was screaming and jumping (all in spanish to make it THAT much funnier) it hit the food in the middle of the van and it everything went everywhere. The best part it was on a 2 lane road so there was NO space to react. Edited June 15, 2007 by Drako (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nextelsucks Posted June 16, 2007 Report Share Posted June 16, 2007 yesterday some friends and i decided to take the jet skiis down to ocean reef in key largo. on cardsound road, a 13 mile road thats barely wide enough to fit one lane each way (has NO shoulders, if you broke down youd be half in the road). its one of the top ten most dangerous roads in the US. as we are driving down it, my buddy sees a sign that says "caution: animal crossings". we have traveled this road countless times and had never seen an animal on it, so we laughed at it. but later, about 11:30 pm, i was driving back on cardsound. it was pouring rain, and there isnt any light for 13 miles (not to mention i have 15% tint on my windshield ). im going about 75 mph, and all the sudden i see this huge animal laying in the road, wider than one lane, followed by a fairly sharp jolt. turns out it was a 7 ft crocodile, about a foot and a few inches tall. i didnt see it until it was within my headlights, which is obviously way to late to try and avoid it, most likely crashing. so yes, i hit it, going 75. i am glad to say that my truck didnt even move, it stayed perfectly straight. it did scare the hell outa me, and i have never felt such a bump. think of it like hitting a curb at 75..... end results: just croc remains on my truck. absolutely nothing happened to the SS. i was fairly impressed, especially because it is lowered like 3/4 and on 22s. my alignment isnt even off, that really reassures me about these trucks (and also about my lowering kits ) Thats crazy i've hit a gator before it was after a big rain storm. I was doing about 60 middle of the night wham darn thing was sitting in the middle of the road. messed up my bumper and knocked out my aligment. Cost me about $200. I guess its pay back for all the family members I have eatin over the years. P.S. Did not stop been chased by one it sucks i'm not Steve Irvin RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
