Have you seen this alligator? Because he is awesome. Rambo the alligator is a badass and looks like he is straight out of Diddy Kong Racing. He’s like the Daryl Dixon of Florida – all he really needs is a slightly emo haircut and a crossbow. If the zombie apocalypse ever comes, this gator will roam the streets on his ATV while wearing his jacket and sunglasses and just f*ck sh*t up.
Sadly, the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission wanted to take Rambo from his loving home. The commission thought the gator needed more space to roam. A compromise has been reached that will allow Rambo to continue leading his badass life. It appears his owner simply can’t show him off in public any more. Rambo will just have to be a badass in private now.
I think no publicity for Rambo is a good idea. If more gators realize they can get jackets and ride ATVs, we’re doomed.

When I dust off the old Atari Flashback to play games from the Atari 2600, I realize how crappy most of the games really were. The only games which really stand the test of time are the Activision games, like Kaboom!, River Raid and of course, Pitfall. These games not only featured addictive gameplay, but pushed the graphical and audio envelope for the simplistic, but groundbreaking 8-bit home console.
Now you can reminisce about Pitfall every time you have a cup of joe. Each of these 7.5 oz. porcelain mugs is emblazoned with pixelated image of the killer gators from Activision’s Atari 2600 classic. Of course, you really need to line up three of the mugs in a row to achieve the full effect. That’s okay, JamesBit has you covered, and only sells them in sets of three. I know you like your coffee, so it shouldn’t be a problem for you to down three cups at a time anyhow.
Grab a set of three Pitfall mugs over on Etsy for $23.99(USD). It’s how Pitfall Harry drinks his coffee every morning before going off and fighting giant white scorpions.
Ok, I know the difference between an alligator and a crocodile, but that title sounded good so I went with it. We’ve seen plenty of unique guitars, but this long monstrosity is pretty strange. It was created by Rhinehart of Athens, Ohio who sculpts and paints all kinds of eccentric and fully-functional guitars.
He also has fish-shaped guitars, some in the shape of a horses rear, birds, dragons and this here gator. The alligator is a lap steel guitar. It is modeled after the Fender 8-string Stringmaster and features 2 pickups with volume, tone, and blend for getting the perfect tone. It was carved from 3 pieces of Douglas fir, and is selling for $3299(USD).
This would be perfect for those bands born on the bayou. If I were in a band and I had this guitar, I would make a new genre known as swamp rock. How could your music not be all about alligators from that point on?
