One Time for the Crocodile Hunter

How many times did this man save you? Steve Irwin is my homie for life. Yall know what I'm talking about. You're sitting at home, bored out of your damn mind and of course there's NEVER anything good on when you're home and bored. You flip through the channels and land on Animal Planet.

CRIKEY. The Crocodile Hunter is on. INSTANT entertainment. This man did stuff with animals you wouldn't do in your nightmares. The whole time your watching you're like "Oh...this fool here is crazy" yet you couldn't and wouldn't turn the channel. It was the best thing on.

I discovered Steve Irwin my freshman year of college and with all the free times that is sometimes afforded to college students...he was a savior of sorts. Sure his show was meant to be informative, but I always found it amusing. I often found myself saying "Is this fool really gonna jump in that aligator pit...oh this nigga is crazy."

I don't think there's anyone in the world shocked to see him die at the hands of an animal, but a stingray? What kinda crap is that? He was supposed to be mauled by a bear or squeezed to death by a python, not stabbed by a stingray. That's not the way he was supposed to go.

Anyway, I honestly will miss him. My man Jeff Corwin has to carry the flag for the new millenium, but just like Kobe will never be Jordan; he'll never be the Crocodile Hunter.

HE HAD HIS OWN TOYS!!!
