in honor of steve irwin day
Whenever I think of the late Steve Irwin what immediately springs to mind is a grown man in uncomfortably short khaki shorts chasing after a crocodile, leaping atop it, and wrestling it into submission, all the while providing a running, huffing, and occasionally grunting commentary peppered with “Crikeys!” Irwin revolutionized nature programming—well, at least up until the Wildboyz came along, that is, but even then the inspiration was more than apparent in whatever absurd form it took—and made it excitingly fun and accessible for kids again, not just bird nerds like Jeff Tremaine. Anyway, this freshie’s for you, Steve, but should you ever find your way back to Earth via the Hindu beliefs of reincarnation I hope it is as a monster saltie. You earned it.
