"Stupid" Steve Irwin Down (inevitably)

"Crikey"

 

"Stand by for action! We are about to launch Stingray! Anything can happen
in the next half-hour!"

 

I'd have put my house on him being the first person to die, eaten by a
crocodile on live children's TV.

 

Steve Irwin "Crocodile Hunter" -> Steve Irwin "Earthworm Hotel"

That's the way he'd have wanted it I guess, although probably more
likely tackling one of the snakes.

RIP Steve.

 

Please tell me there's massive crocodile somewhere in this fucking
story.

 

The Reuters report is hilarious:

"Irwin became famous for his seemingly death-defying skill with wild
animals"

Seemingly. Ha!

 

That's quite a shit animal to be killed by, especially if it happens
when you're filming tiger sharks, FFS

 

I actually liked his style. I think it's a shame that he's gone, but I
reckon he died doing what he enjoyed.

 

Being stabbed in the chest by a poisonous fish?

A bit like Performance Bike's late Ronnie Smith dying on a 125 scooter
on his way home from work.

 

It takes all sorts.

 

Heh. You know what I mean.

 

Surprisingly not.

 

He must have been pissing them off in some way, I've dived with rays loads
of times and always found them placid creatures to be fair.

I've never really understood this.

I would like to state, for the record, that unless I die peacefully in
my sleep, well into my second century, having just been sucked dry by 19
year-old identical twins, then it will not have been "how I would have
wanted it".

Thanks.
