StoryJunkie Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/04092006/2/ente...stingray-s.html Poor blighter. Looks like he went down doing what he loves most.
NightScribe Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Yeah, I heard that this morning. I got up early and put the news on and they were just mentioning it. I thought I misheard, my coffee hadn't even finished brewing yet and I was still groggy. Talk about a freak accident.
Guest Alien Pirate Pixagi Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Someone actually posted a screenshot of the article on devART yesterday. I figured his death would be something like that. Either that or at the hands of his wife for A) Bringing the ENTIRE CAMERA CREW to the birth of their daughter and Forcing her to do all that crap. I was so waiting for him to get smacked by a low branch on of the times hse was driving (if you'll notice, she always drove through heavy brush while he was hanging off the side of the jeep )
WotanAnubis Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 You know, when I read this topic title I couldn't help but thinking something along the lines of... "And 'ere we 'ave a Grim Reaper. Now, 'e may look fierceful, but really 'e ain't nothing to be scared of. And would you just look at them teeth? What a beaut."
Guest lightgoddess Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Anubis, that was just plain wrong. Having said that LMAO!! I really hate to hear that he died because he was just too fun to watch.
dazzledfirestar Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Well, as StoryJunkie said, at least he died doing what he loved to do. I don't think anyone could ask for more than that.
StoryJunkie Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Posted September 4, 2006 I read the headline, ran into the livingroom shouting: "The Crocodile Guy is dead! The Crocodile Hunter Dude, he's dead!" My husband and my son both turned to look at me with blank expressions. "You know, the Australian Guy!" I remedied. "Crickey!" they both said at once.
Guest Big Samurai Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Steve Irwin, for all his antics and weirdness, was a beloved public figure, and the great outdoors will never quite be the same without him. Rest in peace, dude, you entertained millions with your death-defying adventures in animal handling.
dazzledfirestar Posted September 4, 2006 Report Posted September 4, 2006 Well said Big Samurai, well said.
Guest Pink Lace Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Crikey! Er I meant RIP. Died from a stingray...what a way to go.
Guest Evil_Labs Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 It's a shame, too, because by all accounts it was really random and a completely freak occurance. What a way for someone to die. He really was a good guy.
DarkCabaret Posted September 5, 2006 Report Posted September 5, 2006 Aww poor guy! My mom so thought he was going to die by gator!!!
englishwitch Posted September 6, 2006 Report Posted September 6, 2006 It's a real shame the way he went out. I always thought a crock would get him. While that would leave behind endless jokes, it also would have been the most appropriate way for him to go.
