Tis the Season Death by Gator or Shark --- POLL ********WU Girls invade Destin FL --
Posted by: Beachfoxx, 4:24 PM GMT on November 05, 2011 +3
OK --- Patti & I are discussing two of our native animals. Sharks and Gators.
Which led us to which we were more afraid of....
Which led us to the following question.

"Would you prefer death by Gator or death by Shark"





WU Girls invade Destin FL ----------More BP TARBALLS & Prescription Drug Abuse.......

Wooo hoooo! A WU-bash on de beach! good onya for enacting the anti-TC-wave....... I swear, if today's weather were a month from now, I'd feel like I haz been sneaked up on, because I awoke this morning to hard driving rains and a fairly gusty wind.

Regarding the question........ well that's a tough one. Although we no longer have gators down here, I'm quite a bit more leery of them.

Sharks have scared the hell out of us on occasion, but fortunately, we appeared too big to eat. I would suggest a third contender -- barracuda. Mr. Barra really concerns me, as barra almost always appears from under or behind a swimmer and poof! is just suddenly there. They hit on flashes of light (jewelry, sunlight off a mask, for example), and really, they just seem to have a bad attitude. I mean........ they don't listen to reason at ALL, and appear fearless no matter HOW MUCH you scream and flail and.........

Sharks are fun to catch, so yes with the fishing license & within the legal limits you can kill them.
Gators also may be killed, but you have to have permits & license from the state.

Wish they'd kill more of them, seems like there are more and more of those ugly, dinosaur, dragon lokkin creatures roaming around!

I know I'd rather go be Shark
Than gator, that death roll & dance under water sounds too frightening for me! Death by shark seems much more honorable! ROFL

I agree!!!! Don't wanna do a death roll with a creepy gator! Much rather die in the salty sea with a shark,
.

Hmmmm, wonder if you die in sea does that increase your chances of coming back as a Mermaid? Hahahaha

Barracudas - yep, they freak me out! Being underwater with heavy dive equipment on &. Barracuda staring at you is not my idea of fun!!

So glad to see you back on WU.

Hi Foxxy,
Gators and sharks. lol Sounds like you guys had a great time.

Hope it's okay to add a little contribution to the salute. If you look real close you can see the hemlines of the lime green and fuchsia flapper outfits Daisy and Booby wore that day. I don't guess they would want me to post the photos that show the dresses, but this is probably safe. I've posted this photo every year since the 2006 salute. This seems like a good moment to post it for 2012.



Best wishes for you and yours this tropical season.

Glad you gals were kickin up your heels, restin on your derrieres,checkin out the sights and otherwise havin a grand ole time of it.
But the question that begs an answer.
(I had to think about it for a day or so)
Probably a cheating delay.
SHARK OR GATOR DEMISE!?
Probably SHARK.
REASON:
Hopefully I would drown and it would end sooner.
Or Shark would inflict a more severe wound that brings a quicker end.

But then there is the question of massive Gator and nuisance Shark. and visa versa.

So then its Great White or Betty Whites Pet,as opposed to aww look at the little boot material and the stop nibbling at my extremities breakfast fare shark.

But Spathy wont get into the weeds of the question.
So its Shark attack and hopefully lots of the toothy critters at once.
Mind you I have been on a scuba shark feed in Australia.

Sorry I had to skim but hopefully I can find time to read more.

BTW.
After reading back a little.
This reminds me of a Scuba gear joke.
.
.
.
A novice asks what is your dive knife for.
Response from an experienced Scuba Diver.
That knife is for getting out of entanglements and for sharks.
Novice:
So you use the knife to stab the shark?
Diver:
No!
If we are threatened by sharks,
I stab my Dive buddy and swim like heck!!!!!!

As to your question above....my initial reaction is neither. But if I had to choose, I'd say shark. There have been plenty of folks who have survived a shark bite (think Beth Hamilton - Soul Surfer). Don't know about survival with an alligator and we don't have 'em here!

Nice try but its death by????
You have to choose.
There is no survival!
Thats why I waited to respond.
Two bad choices.

Kinda like garden destruction by Snails or Fungus.
End result ????
Not Good!
But thats the choice.
So? Play along.
Whats the choice Karen ?

The thoughts of one of those disgusting creatures rolling me around on the bottom in the mud freaks me out. I am convinced that they roll you over just to tease you & torture you, then then slowly eat you after they have watched you die a slow & painful death.

Give me DEATH BY SHARK - I'd much rather know I was a part of the food chain of the sea rather than reptiles! LOL

I've done plenty of exciting and dangerous things in my life. I'm pretty sure that when or if I die, it will be from something mundane and boring.

ROFL -- This was a very important "elevator" conversation. Gamma first said Gator, but I think she may be leaning towards Shark after giving it more consideration.

Neither one is that good to eat in my opinion. Too many other foods that I do enjoy - and every time I bite into Gator I can see one of those creepy monsters in my imagination, it dulls the appetite! LOL
Shark meat can be prepared in such a way that it is decent eats, but again, the fact that they urinate through their skin kinda dulls the appetite.
Can you say "YUK"????

Well ma'am....

NO, I really prefer death by shark...
Gators are so damned ugly and the thoughts of doing the death roll with one of those prehistoric creatures doesn't appeal to me.
At least with a shark I'll be in the salty water, which is where I'm gonna end up one day any way.... LoL
I also think shark death would be quicker & less terrifying!
