Do Not Remove Alligators from Roadway

What do you do when there’s an 11-foot alligator blocking the road? Not what Glen Bonin and his three friends tried to do when it happened in Sulphur, Louisiana.

"(We) took our shirts off, threw it on his (the gator's) face, and we were going to come from behind it and jump on it... in the process of doing that, it spun around and grabbed my hand seconds before we jumped on it," Bonin said.

The alligator then snapped at Bonin, biting his hand and sending him into a daze.

"It felt like someone was pulling my arm out. I thought I was about to lose something. It felt like it lasted forever," Bonin said.

Bonin received 80 stitches and a lesson in the wrong way to deal with an alligator.

"I've always been the kind of guy who learns the hard way," said Glen Bonin.

If you ever find yourself in this position, it’s best to call law enforcement or wildlife authorities. You might even consider using a different route until the gator is gone. KPLC has some video footage of the gator encounter, in which it appears there was much more interaction with the animal than was necessary to unblock traffic. -via Arbroath

True but they did win the SparkS "Alexandre Dumas Award". Known far and wide as the dumb-ass award.

Neatorama's Alex is not a dumb-ass though he does have a similar first name to Monsieur Dumas.

Are you familiar with the Dumas method?

Give that dude a show. In fact, give him either The Office or Lost, maybe I can stand to look at those if he's in them. At the very least, remake Ironside with him in the lead.

I would definitely watch his show. This guy is genuinely hilarious and has charisma pouring out of him. One thing is certain, though; this is no pity vote. This guy deserves it disability aside.

CP is usually a birth defect/injury.

Humor aside, his show idea is new and something that ISN'T on TV yet, and could reach an untapped audience. If Zack doesn't get his show, i'm guessing we'll see a knock off in the next year or two.

It's not all jokes about his disability. Best line in the video: "No Atlantis is too underwater or fictional." Nothing to do with his CP. He's just genuinely funny.
