Been In Louisiana fro the last week tending to the death of my great father in Law.

Last Sunday cousins in law (that we don't know very well)invite us on their pontoon boat to run up and down the river in Lake Charles. We had a great time on this pontoon speedboat w/ 150 hp out board.

So tonight we go over to their place for shrimp etuffe, shrimp cornbread and scallops wrapped in bacon.

But as we were getting out of the car, Steve, my CIL's friend says "look in the pickup bed."

There is a six foot four inch alligator with an attitude - duct taped safe. It's rear feet were taped behind his back, and, naturally, his jaws were duct taped.

Couldn't believe it. He had caught it in his pond and thought my wife and I would get a kick out of it.

Next thing I know the thing explodes as he tries to attack Steve's face, scares the living crap out of me and my wifes sounds the alarm to the neighborhood.

He says because his back feet are taped, alligator can't propel himself forward.

So he opens the tailgate and pulls the animal out by his tail and proceeded to un tape his rear legs. HUmmmmmmm.

So here we are in a out of town residential development with a six foot plus alligator in the front yard with a bunch of people drinking beers. Gotta love Louisiana!!

So they all start goading me to jump on the alligator (he was quite subdued at this point, resigned to his captivity).

I resisted as well as I could, but they plied me with beers, then Steve (who actually knows about these things) patiently showed me right where to hold the gator and I came up behind and quickly pinned him by the neck and straddled him like a horse. A very very short horse at that.

Beautiful animal, wonderful colors. The skin is soft which surprised me all the skins I have touched before were of dried gator skins that are hard.

I pulled his head up for the photos, like some kinda eighteenth century West Africa explorer.

So maybe I am not going to inducted in the "Wrestlers Hall Of Fame". But that's what happened for "supper" tonite in Moss Bluff, Louisiana.

Steve is going to release it in an hour or so. Might be interesting to watch.
