Does it bother anyone that an alligator can survive in a southern CA lake for 2 years?
Can we assume that this was the only one out there?
Sounds like we have a potential more realistic then the old 'gators in the NY sewers'...Gators in California lakes. I think if one is out there, others could be as well. This cop who set Reggie free is probably not the first or last to do this.

Reminds me of the lobster they served in the chow hall once a month. One of my best buddies was a cook out at the missile silo launch control facilities and he had the inside line on getting the best lobsters before they made it to the chow hall (the statute of limitations has passed on this....hasn't it?). Anyway my advice to anyone crazy enough to join the service is find a buddy who's a cook!

I like the taste of Alligator, but it's too chewy, too rubbery (sort of like Calamari) for me to really enjoy. But it sure does beat calf fries!

I guess I have been eating 'gator' instead of what I ordered. It was suppose to be Lobster but it chewed like Rands discription of Reggies cousin. Blarrrgggggg!!!

Whitewoman2, maybe it's not too late to get your money back for the English classes you took. And, please, animals in zoos are not routinely castrated, and they are allowed to nurse their young. Where on earth do you get your information?

Try cutting your cooking time. IF its chewy, or tough, it is usually over cooked. Try deep frying it. Yum-Yum, TASTE LIKE CHICKEN...

I've had it fried, but not deep fried yet. I'll break out the old deep fryer and give it a try. Though every time I deep fry stuff I get homesick for smelt season back home in Michigan. Now THAT'S some good eatin'!

Poor old Reggie. I was watching TV yesterday and all of the local stations broke into their regular programs to show helicopter shots of the truck carrying Reggie off to his new cell...er...home...at the L.A. Zoo. It looked just like the O.J. Slow chase, minus the ridiculous number of cop cars. They say he has to go into quarantine for 90 days and then they'll decide what to do with him. Personally I hope they keep him at the zoo because I'd love to go see him.

I compare the great tough alligator with the spirit of the White male. By the way, I was a straight A student, and just finished 2 courses in English to write my autobiography about what it's like to grew up in a poor white family of 15 without help of government churches, etc. I found the schools thinking like most people in these sights. They favor the minorities, and knock down the Whites and traditional European values, in their essays, etc. What bothers me about Reggie the Alligator is something I discovered at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. All animals are castrated. Babies are fed with formula, (I breastfed my sons white milk 3 1/2 years each.) Every single animal is castrated and females tubes tied, and not one breastfeeds. This is what they parade in front of us at zoos. And we think we teach our children "good" things when we take them to zoos. The animals are robots, as we too will be soon, lulled in a deep sleep of "acceptance," Poor Reggie, is facing castration.Why doesn't CBS or someone follow that story of alligator torture prohibiting him from ever mating or reproducing again. Poor, Poor Reggie the alligator. What pain they are about to bestow on him. I sob. I sob. We bring into our lives what we watch and believe, hopefully humans are never subjected to this in the name of overpopulation.
