@Auspice I like how the baby alligator is just kinda a line item at the end.

My cat Bubba has been staring at it all month. I'm mildly shocked he hasn't thrown himself at it yet.

...I'm damn proud of that father if the second half (read: relative price) is his concern there, to put it very mildly.
Oh fucking well.

I mean he's right. It's a valuable lesson for adulthood to know when to buy seasonal clothes.

What amazes me is that it isn't even the same 'woman with a gator down her knickers in Florida arrest' story I've seen referenced today.

^ There's one in there, too, and... it's not the same story.
File this under 'things my father sends me that are funny for an entirely different reason', I suppose.

I love all of it.
The headline, alone, is hilarious, but as you read it just becomes more and more ridiculous.

It's been argued facetiously and completely seriously that Batman is the only reason his rogues gallery continues to exist. Like he's basically deliberately keeping these severely mentally ill people in an institution he knows for a fact is understaffed, with corrupt/incompetent management, because he needs to justify his own hobby. He's simply too efficient otherwise and he has a small army of proteges, the only reason crime exists at all in Gotham is a fabrication to keep one insanely wealthy man pumped to the gills with catharsis in what is essentially his own private theme park.

@Wizz It's one good way to look at it. However it doesn't explain why other cities have villains, too, or why Gotham was such a complete shithole before that bat came crushing through the window of Wayne Manor that one night.
In fact it's canon masked societies, bad guys and even vigilantes are a preexisting condition for Gotham.

As best I recall, these arguments came after his wealth became incalculable. Like, when he becomes the sole provider of funding for the Justice League with its teleportation technology, its moon fortresses, its Death Star cannons, and whatever the hell else, Bruce Wayne's wealth became infinite; which means he could have paid every criminal in Gotham enough to satisfy them, paid Arkham enough to provide bleeding edge medical treatments and security, paid the government enough to fund social programs that make crime irrelevant, &c &c &c. A man who can afford to single-handedly fund the construction of a moon fortress while still having enough left over to give himself private stealth bombers shaped like his insignia is a man who doesn't need to punch neurodivergent people to try to solve a city's problem; he just does it because he wants to.

Gawd, people, random funny read the topic.
