you have all given me something to think about. I will contemplate for next Thursday.
Today was a nice day, so we ate lunch out on the patio at the picnic tables. It's a refreshing break to the long day. Sunshine! Flowers! fresh air! (times square! ;] )
Tonight we went to the annual Home Owner's Associate meeting where it was confirmed that we have TWO ALLIGATORS in the fake lake and Wildlife Services won't do anything unless they hurt someone/thing
Today's Question of the Day? is:
If you ran your own alligator trapping service, based on the teachings of Wile E. Coyotte, how would you go about trapping the alligators?
Love,
The Asker

I could be wrong here, but I think based on the teachings of Wile E. Coyote, you would NOT EVER trap the alligator and look like a complete buffoon while attmpting this. Beep beep!
You think just cuz I wake up early that I cannot recognize a trick question when I see one?
Ha! I love it Anne!
I picture a hugh hole, covered with straw. Placed carefully on top is some type of bait.
What you do once the alligator is inside the hole, is another problem.
How big are these alligators? What are the eating? Still have those ducks?
Wile E. Coyote would have an iron anvil, some rockets, some bird seed, but wait.......no cliffs in the Rosenberg area, right?
first, a question, why would you want to trap the alligators?! I think it's pretty cool to have them in your lake. Real wildlife in your neighborhood!
I guess I'd do something similar to Kathleen, only the alligator would conveniently fall into a cage connected to a series of pulleys.
TWO?! (That was so startling that I used an interrobang!) Is there a scale for how bad they have to hurt someone before they get booted? I mean, what if they only nibble a little, or eat the yippy little dog that nobody likes anyway?
I believe Wile E. Coyote would set an elaborate trap. He would wear a tutu, some makeup, and a wig (thus completely obscuring his identity) and play some Swan Lake on a gramophone. He would then bat his eyelashes and flip his tutu at the alligators, who would be overcome with flirtatiousness and begin to ballet dance after him. He would attempt to lead them through a series of traps, including a boulder held back by a stick with a string and a cleverly painted fake sign hiding a train tunnel, but would instead fall victim to his own cleverness. His wig would eventually fall off and the alligators would chomp him so much that he'd appear with a cast, bandages, and crutches in the next scene.
My cousin was walking her dog down by the pond at her house and the "friendly neighborhood alligator" popped up and ate him. Sad day. It's a bummer that you have to "wait until something bad happens" to get them out. Oh well, hopefully now that everyone knows they're there they'll stay safe!
I'm thinking two giant anvils. I think Wile E. Coyote cartoons are the only times I've seen them in use...
Anne, that's the fun in the answers!
Mom, who, I mean what, would you use for bait? ;]
I haven't seen the ducks in a while :[
Sabrina, as long as they don't bite me or the kids playing basketball, i'm ok with the alligators.
TamiJean, interrobang? I didn't know about this thing! i love it now! I really don't know. The home owner's association meeting isn't real good for getting actual information. maybe if a human gets hurt, but not a yippie dog? especially if it's a dog that POOPS IN OUR YARDS.
Jackie, I think two giant anvils would do it!
Jackie - wow! I guess I never heard a horror story like that. Boo. Maybe wild animals with razor sharp teeth in the neighborhood aren't such a fine idea after all. :(
interrobang?!?!
so what/where is the keyboard shortcut for it?
