Hey all. Mrs Chance and I are throwing our annual Halloween party and this time the three of us (first year for the Chancling) are going as Steve Irwin, Terri Irwin, and little Bindi Sue Irwin. That’s right, we’re going as the Crocodile Hunter and family! Problem: I need a crocodile. Quickly. Inflatable preferred. Not live. I don’t think it would survive the Potomac. Can anyone give me some tips on locating such? I figured if anyone can I’d find them here! ---

Go to Kay-Bee Toys. Or Children’s Palace. Or any toy store. Or Wal-Mart. Or K-Mart. Or Meijer’s, Target, Venture, whathaveyou. Go to the toys section. Go to the yard toys/pool toys. You should find yourself an inflatable alligator (sorry, its not a croc) in no time. Good luck. My brother’s going as Steve as well. ---

I was at a Boston area pub recently (Kinvara’s in Brighton) and there was a rep. from Fosters Beer there. He had an inflatable croc. with him as decoration. Well, I spent half the night trying to talk him into giving it to me. He finally gave in at about 11:00 and gave it to me. The problem was, there was a birthday party going on for some girl and I was so drunk that I gave it her as a present. The Fosters dude was pretty pissed off at me. Anyways, find a local bar that is having a Foster’s promotion and you may be able to get one for free. ---

I know he’s called the Crocodile Hunter, but I think some rubber cobras and spiders would do just as well as an inflatable croc. \You know because of his little song about the spider in the outhouse, my 2yo asks me if there are spiders in different places before she gets on the toilet.\
