I'll jump on a wild animal, but I am not putting one in my car. (Unless it's seats and panels!)
Mikey, so far: the folks tell me I am stupid. Ex tells me I am crazy. Girfriend says I am a nut, and Ampgarage thinks it was the coolest thing that happened on December 3rd 2012.

Heck!I dont even have a neighbor that would come over with a big gun and jump on a gators back and I live with a bunch of retarts here!
Once again, Miles, you are crackin' me up! I guess you don't pay any attention to those "do not try this at home" warnings on the TV shows... Oh well, that's just CYA and it's probably not any more dangerous than foolin' with high voltage anyway.
Did you see that story on the news about the little girl at Sea World that was feeding the Dolphins and the critter jumped up and about took her hand off?
Well it didn't really chomp down on it or else she would be handless but imagine if that was a gator.
Uhh.. Yeah. I did that. Me an Al are best friends now. He is still a little wary about sticking his head in my mouth, although he took the tape off last night so I can eat.
Yeah, NO WAY.
Strange living in the South though.
I grew up in cow country of New York.
No problem catching garter snakes and scaring big Sis with them.
Around here, I tell those stories and they think I'm some kind of snake handling freak.
Weird, totally untrue stories around here about snakes and such.
Old legends die hard.
People that don't know their stuff swear on a stack 'o bibles that every snake they ever encountered was either a water moccasin, or a rattler.
A neighbor killed a perfectly innocent black rat snake with a shovel and said it was a deadly water moccasin!
I said sheet...leave it alone, it kills rats...well nevermind.
Gators, like snakes...can be captured with the right technique.
I always made sure they weren't hungry...that helps!
Same with spiders, the kind that make big webs.
If they build them out of the way, I welcome them...they have an important job to do.
They keep other bugs at bay.

I live in the woods, so I have spiders galore. My wife thinks I'm insane for catching them and letting them go back outside. Don't want the karma.
Aren't rat snakes the ones that pretend theyr'e bigger and meaner than they are by flattening their necks cobra-style and trying to look scary?
When I was a kid, some of my playmates were incredibly cruel to snakes they caught. Never got over it. I could have rattlesnakes in my yard (don't thankfully) and couldn't bring myself to hurt them. Go ahead, call me names.
