Crocodiles and Snakes
Sunday’s gig was a hoot. It was at Federation Square and it was for the international students. Kind of like an orientation. This is Australia and all of that stuff. So Skull, my alter-ego, was impressing the new-comers with his charm and good looks. And by the way, he was pretty damn good on that little bike too! Cobble stones are not the easiest to tricks on. Especially sloping cobblestones. But he’s a veteran professional, so I don’t even think he noticed the bumpy ground!
The chicks loved him. The laughter therapist and her friend had sore jaw muscles from laughing so much. And the kids soccer team went trick for trick with Skull, with Skull winning by default because the kids ran out of tricks.
Skull also got to hold a snake. And! Pat a crocodile. A 7 year old saltwater croc. Jeepers! It had remarkably soft skin, and the scariest and most amazing teeth that I have ever seen. Lucky Skull is tough and was not scared one little bit. And he is very good-looking.
