I've uploaded my first youtube video and its one of my dad and brother-in-law off the coast of my home town fishing in a very small boat when they get some visitors...

YouTube - Extreme Whale Watching

I'd be freaked out...

Mmm... Whale pie.

Woah, that was amazing.

However, I must say I don't believe they were Australians, spiky. I didn't here a single "strewth" and neither of them seem to be called Bruce.

Obviously using the wrong bait.

How do you get plankton to stay on your hook anyway?

'struth, that is pretty amazing!

Wow!

That was incredible, thank you so much for that!

As well, Spiky's father doesn't look like he could wrestle even a very small crocodile.

True...

He'd take offence at that and to prove you wrong he'd travel the 2000kms needed just to find a crocodile to wrestle. This is not something I'm going to encourage unless you get your dad to wrestle a crocodile too Ba...

My efforts to send the video viral don't seem to be working yet. I'm trying to get more hits than the killer whale jumping on the kayak video, so I've got a measly 175,000 views to go.

Very cool. Something like that happened to a friend of mine while fishing off the coast of Washington.

Viral takes a little time, spiky and that video of the kayak had a head start... give it time, and try posting the link on myspace...

Ba's father doesn't claim to be Australian. As an American, he would simply shoot the crocodile with a gun (selected so as to have sufficient penetration to kill the beast).

Why just go for sufficient? He may as well go for overkill and use an RPG instead. Besides if Americans expect Australians to wrestle crocodiles they should expect to see Americans do it too. This is blatant discrimination in the crocodile wrestling department and something should be written into the basic human rights as outlined by the UN... something like 'it is not only Australians that are expected to wrestle crocodiles'.

Kat I'm not on myspace and it seems like a lot of effort to set up... you know all those questions basically trying to find out if I'm a paedophile or not

Spiky, Americans don't wrestle crocodiles. We are much too sophisticated for that. We wrestle alligators. One may say that there is not a lint of difference between the two to amount to a hill of beans, but I beg to differ. A crocodile is to an alligator as a highschool drop out is to a lawyer. The crocodile hit its peak a long time ago and decided to stay but, but the alligator continued evolving, be it ever so slowly and even then to not a great extent, and has turned itself into the Einstein of the reptile world.

Take a brief look into the lifestyles of the two. The croc goes around scavenging all day and is still hungry when it beds down for the night. It has to take down mean ornery animals that don't want to be eaten and it often gets seriously mangled in the process. Sure they get big and are extremely cranky, but hey who wouldn't be after a day like that.

The alligator, on the other hand, just sits and waits for unsuspecting kids to play in the gutter or swamp and then has a pleasant, tasty, juicy, and tender meal while it looks for the next one. Or it is adopted by a chicken farmer that has to get rid of several tons of chicken a year and having the alligator is the most efficient and easiest way to do it (these chickens are handled very delicately by only the most well trained chicken specialists).

The crocodile has not brought anything to the attention of scientists whereas the alligator instinctively knows how cold fusion works, but scientists haven't been able to crack the code they used (this is how the alligators have survived in areas that scientists didn't think possible for them to live because it was so cold).

So for a decision between wrestling a dumb old crocodile and wrestling an intelligent creature like the alligator *chess is generally acknowledged as their favorite form of wrestling and then after that is Greko Roman wrestling*, then I would have to say hands down that I would go for the croc as the easier of the two opponents.

So tell your da that if he wants to do some serious reptile wrestling, he needs to get in the ring with the king. The GATOR-ATE'R.
