Last night I watched one of my all time favorite movies again !-- Tropic Thunder !
 
I can't believe I left New Orleans - The Cultural center of the South - A place where I saw Plant and Page- Pearl Jam- Neil Young - Bob Dylan ,- Crosby ,Stills and Nash -- The Almond Brothers Band - and the list goes on -- to move to the beach where DJ Twanky plays both kinds of music - Country and Western !-- E-ha!
 
Keef I don't think Tom Cruise was in Tropic Thunder.
 
Yup !- He was !- The bald headed film exec that wanted to collect the insurance money - Did the little dance - Tom Cruise ! Man I been waxing nostolgic tonight !- I've never told the story of when I lost a gunfight with an alligator !-- I'm down at the bayou fishing and working on a memorable buzz when this alligator comes over and crunched my plastic bobbed !- fish wasn't biting anyway so I plug another bobbed on right next to the hook and recast !- here he came and when he crunched that bobbed I nailed his a** with that treble hook under that bobber and it was on !- 'bout thirty minutes I had him almost up on the bank ! I hadn't really did much planning !- I'm barefoot in a pair of cut offs and that gator come busting out that water like a rocket and he was pissed off !- I threw my pole down and scrabbled for safety ! Grabbed that .38 police special and shot everything but the gator s I turned and jumped onto the car !- My car keys and speedloader was Down there with Him!- I 'bout had a heatstroke before he finally left !- I let him keep the rod and reel !- I just got my stuff and left !
 
Yup!- that's what tried to get me !- I think I know that place !-- The one I caught wasn't bout as long as my leg !- When he came out that water after me he looked like a 20 footer!-- I threw that pole down drew that police special and emptied it in the two - three steps it took me to get on the car ! I hope somebody ate him !!- He almost had me ! Blowed that mud bank to pieces - lesson learned ? Always keep a reload on your body !
 
Good thing the Gator didnt get your gun. Lol he might not of missed.
 
Your right Keef, I remember now, for some reason I thought it was a different movie.
 
My people got a habit of shooting first and thinking later !- Uncle Oats was checking his hoop nets when he bumped into a tree - a cotton mouth fell out the tree into the boat !- Unk shot him with a 12 Ga! - not a lot of thought involved !
 
Shot a hole in the boat and Gator watched yall go down,,waiten for Supper he was. :48:
 
Made it the bank with nothing but his shotgun and some extra loads in his pocket !- Hurts to think Unk was smarter than me !- At least he had more ammo !- Gator had mine ! But worst of all -- My lighter and weed was in my tackle box there with him !-- He was hissing and stuff -- he eased back into the water by my tackle box and let me just cook on that car hood while he watched ! That's when I got me that double barrel 12 Ga with 12in barrels !- No aiming involved ! Pull them triggers and shoot everything !
 
My first run in with Local Texas law dogs - no my second - after moving here !- I'm chilling at the beach late one night fishing !- They say U ain't allowed to open fire on a shark ! Wanted to know if I was hunting or fishing ! Kilt that shark - yes I did ! Me and half a bottle of vodka nailed him !- I learned my lesson - I had extra rounds in my pocket this time !
 
Morning OFC....on my way to the "W" place.....smoke one for me :)
