oh, crap.


you know how the big joke about the crocodile hunter was that one of these days he would get too close to a croc and that would be the final episode of the show?

uh, well, it happened. only it was a freak acccident with a stingray.

RIP, steve. we hardly knew ye.

I think the proper heading for this post would actually be "Crikey!"

Anyway, I heard about this last night before I went to bed & it really made me sad. Just serves as a powerful reminder that we can't not die in a freak stingray-fight accident.

oops! just saw where you scooped me on your blog. sorry about that. but still -- the crocodile hunter! how sad that he should meet his end in a freak accident, not in a heroic stand-off against a herd of stampeding crocodiles, which is kind of how I'd imagined his demise. crikey, indeed.

scooped? nah, just staying up too late. I say, the more monuments to the late, great Croc Hunter, the better.

In totally unrelated news, did you see that Diesel Sweeties has been picked up by a comic syndicate and is going to start running in newspapers next year? awesome! go R Stevens!
