I can't imagine a likely situation where I'd think that wrestling a crocodile would be a good idea. How often do people hold you at gunpoint and say, "It's that, or sex with Dick Cheney!"
You do well to flee, townspeople! I will pillage your lands and dwellings! I will burn your crops and make merry sport with your more attractive daughters! Ha ha ha! Mark my words! Ooh! Ale! I smell delicious ale!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Nearly a third of all individuals attacked by "salties" between 1971 and 2004 had been drinking, according to a study published in Wilderness and Environmental Medicine. It's not that the crocs -- whose numbers have boomed from 3,000 to 75,000 since the species gained governmental protection in the 1970s -- suddenly developed a taste for internally marinated humans.
Did they consider that maybe a third of all Australians are drunk? Huh? Did they?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That crossed my mind.
Fosters - it's Australian for croc bait.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Why is French bread so yummy?

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Cause it is. It needs no reason.

Why is French bread so yummy?
Because hating freedom is always delicious.

Salon is rerunning the whole Dogs in Elk conversation as one of their "posts of the decade."
Har! Does this mean my vanity google hits will triple? Curse my naive use of my whole name on the 'nets back in the day.
Also, wow, that was six years ago.
t eta Hey! They cut out at least two of my posts. Sloppy cut-and-paste.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I know my nerves are ground thin by the fact that my body is grossly misbehaving, but people should still be decent. Just because, you know, decent. If you schedule a meeting with a physical location and a con-call #, I kinda understand if you don't activate the con call -- I mean you might figure after fifteen minutes you have all the attendees you're going to get.
But the very next meeting, also with a physical location and con call in the invite, it'd be decent if you let everyone know it was con call only before they drove out to the remote location and got booted from the meeting room. A real kindness.
