Would you rather swim across a river that is filled with crocodiles-OR-spend the night on an island where man-eating tigers live?
FYI: Julie is in black print; Rachel is in blue print
No brainer on this one! I'd choose the crocodiles any day! I don't like the idea of death staring me in the face and taunting me. Come at me from behind nice and quick like and be done with it already.
You're kidding right? Death by croc is about the creepiest thing for me... anything reptilian is NOT preferable to the furry kind. I mean, it was Daniel and the MAMMALS den, not Daniel and the ALLIGATORS den. *shudder* Girlie, I'd rather spend the night freaked out about tigers than about crocs...
That's just it though. Tigers will taunt and tease and you just don't know what to expect from them. They are all like I’m gonna get you girl, you just won’t know the time or place. But oh it’s coming. *licking lips* There is no need to torture me mentally before my death...just get it over with already. Not to mention what a sleepless night would do to me while I sat and tried to figure out exactly what the tiger was going to do and when he was going to do it. My mind would go nuts thinking things like, if I look over here he will think I forgot about him and he will go behind the tree, then I will pretend to sleep and he will lick his chops while salivating over my deliciousness, then I will jump really high and scream like a wild banshee when he creeps over to that rock ready to pounce on me, and he’ll get freaked, and….
Julieeeee - that croc is gonna think you're just as delicious! And don't you know they can play mind games too? They're sneaky and they can lurk underwater forever. You can be all the way across that river and that last toe in the water is gonna do you in. Maybe the part that I'm not getting is why you'd prefer a CERTAIN death, over a maybe one? I mean... MAYBE I could get a bick stick and climb real high up a tree and beat them as they approached? Or start a fire or or or or...? But swimming? I'm just one big old piece of bait...
Actually, I think it's quite the opposite. I think there is a possibility I could swim from one river bank to another and not make one crocodile take notice of me. ’Cause I’m stealth like that. But you are on an island with a man-eating tiger and chances are that tiger has not seen a human for a while. And as the only human that the tiger has seen for quite some time you would look might tasty- even though you're little and skinny and have a dancer’s body and probably smell nice...not that I‘m into smelling women or anything. And tigers climb trees...so yeah, no escape there. But if there happened to be a tree in the river, I could definitely climb it to escape the jaws of a crocodile.
Don't you just love my crocodile purse?
Alrighty Jules... don't you think it's fair to enlighten the troops that you're like the Michael Phelps of Texas chicks? I mean, sure you'd rather go up against the crocs if you're just leaving them churning in your wake... but the rest of us are probably more like wild-eyed crippled caribou at the water's edge.
Come on folks... we'd have better odds against the kitties, right?
(Yes Julie – we all know you have mad editing skilz – but did you have to have that tiger biting my BUTT?)
And this is where we turn it over to you, our most loved readers! Don't let those smiles fool ya', we are serious about our debate and will fight to the death to prove our point. Your job is to vote on the topic at hand: Would you rather swim across a river that is filled with crocodiles-OR-spend the night on an island where man-eating tigers live? After you vote be sure to leave us the reason behind your vote in the comments. Then hop over to Rachel's at Once Upon a Miracle and check out the comments and opinions over there! Rachel and I will be comparing notes and will get back to you on the winner of The Battle of the Blogs! (And no bribing is not beneath me. Ahem.)

32 Validations To Make Me Feel Worthy:
Sorry Julie! I had to go with tigers. Either way sounds HORRIBLE but I just can't deal with anything in the water!!!!!!! I can't even think about potential drowning if the gator didn't kill me immediately! Thanks for the lovely thoughts!
I love how Heather is so sweet in her answer... after an entire post about which way you'd rather face death, she finishes off with "thanks for the lovely thoughts". Is she southern or what??? :) We love you Heather!
And ahem... am I the only one that noticed that in getting me skinnier in the last picture, you also somehow edited my boobs to be about 30 years older too?
(Did I just say that????)
:)
Let the voting begin!!!
Sorry my friend, but I gots to go with Rachel. I have a major fear of what lies beneath water so whether there are crocs or not you wouldn't catch me in it!
I gotta go with Rachel on this one too. I cannot do water when I am in a panic. I will for sure drowned and go down as a croc snack. My feet are much more promising at that point. Sorry.
Come on y'all! Where are my swimmers???!!!!
I agree with you Julie.. I've seen cats play with things and frankly.. I don't want to be a food that's played with. One big "chomp" of a alligator and your done for. Nothing to remember. I'm all for that.
Love ya Julie but I am no swimmer. Wish I was cause I'd def. chose the croc's then. But I had to be realistic since this is life or death we are talking about here.
I'm with Rachel (and Heather). I can't even imagine if the alligator dragged me under and I was drowning. Absolutely terrifying.
I knew that little "Michael Phelps" skill was gonna give you some confidence with the crocs! I'm just waay terrified that I wouldn't make it across. Would rather take my odds with someone that might not kill me so quickly!
Seriously y'all- death by tiger would be slow and painful. They would toy with you and the suffering would be unmeasurable.
Case in point- Roy Horn of Siegfried & Roy. The only reason he's still alive is because of immediate medical attention, but the suffering was long lasting.
tigers...you might be able to hide from the cats but swimming with crocs is a guaranteed death!
I had to go with tigers, too. Maybe I could find some tiny little hole to curl up in and the tigers wouln't find me. But, there's no hiding from the crocs!
I'm with you Julie I would just have to take my chances with the crocs oh well.
I have to go with the Tigers too...since I am such a big LSU fan I guess it would be a fitting way to go...being eaten by a TIGER!
{sorry Jules}
I really don't want to make a choice. I'd rather stay home and not have to be faced with this decision. However, since there was no "not choosing" button, I picked Tigers. I hope that I could climb a tree, hide in a cave or something. In the water I feel vulnerable.
Oh dear... Julie, you are my bloggy idol and all, but I CAN'T SWIM. Yep, I know I live at the beach, but I don't go in the water above my knees and I NEVER go in if it's not clear enough to see my feet. I have a real phobia about being in the water and not being able to see my feet. Sorry girl, I'm camping out on the island with man eating tigers. ;)
I have to say I'd rather stick with the tigers. My choice is based on how it's worded..."river FILLED with crocodiles." That leads me to believe it is just teaming with them and they are fighting each other to get to the poor soul breast-stroking across the soggy deathtrap. The island is described as a place where "man-eating tigers live." I think I might be able to hide out from one or two of them there but swim in croc filled waters ~ me no think so. I bet my comment is waaaaay more literal than necessary, huh? One of the many hazards of my job I guess ~ reading & interpreting to the nth degree.
I'll have to pass on the murky waters. In either case I'm sure it would be the end of me so at least I can enjoy the island and maybe a coconut or two before I become dinner myself. ;)
Tigers. No brainer...better chance of survival. If you're on an island, just go out into the water and the tigers will probably leave you alone. Cats don't like water.
I think I would take my chances with the tigers too! At least you could see them coming. Maybe?
Sorry, Julie, but I'm not a swimmer. I would drown for sure. And that, funny enough, is more frightening to me than getting eaten my a tiger or a crocodile. Just sayin'.
Lol!! You can hide from tigers. Like it trees incognigto wrapped in palm branches. Just sayin' ...
Okay, Julie is completely right on when she said "Doesn't anyone know how to swim?" Cause I don't! LOL Well, not really good enough to out-swim the crocs! Had to go with the tigers. Kind of like fighting off wild life, only on speed, and I have had some practice with that, so there fore my decision is tigers. And I am going to be lazy and copy and paste this exact same comment on both posts. Did I just admit that? LOL
haha sorry girl! I picked tigers. but only because I cant swim very well. actually I'm a fine swimmer i guess, as long as I'm doggie paddling and i'm in a nice safe pool . . . the panic would probably cause me to drown even if the crocs totally ignored me :-) haha
I wanted to vote for the Grizzly Bears, but I couldn't so I settled for the crocs because crocs can be wrestled with but not tigers.
I'd rather take my chances with the tigers. It's not a guarenteed death. You can't survive in a lake of crocs. They will gicha. :)
I'm totally with the tigers. I have this thing about the ocean and deep water. It is unknown under there and I don't need any of my limbs or other body parts used as bate that way. I like to see under the water. And deep water at night...ooohhhh nooo! Tigers for me all the way. I'm totally buff and could take em on. Totally.
ps...smelling women??? Hmmm ;o)
I am soooooo imagining what my nightmares will be tonight (thank you so much!); but I have to go with the tigers - mainly because I can't swim and I hear those crocs are fast!!!!
I'm picking tigers. I'm thinking outside the box here..see, you said MAN eating tigers, not woman-eating tigers. We all know there's fundamental differences between men and women (we're better), so I'm assuming that tigers that like men won't like women. Too sweet, I'd imagine. But, if they are indeed woman-eating tigers, I'm picking the crocs. I'm envisioning myself walking on their heads like in that bad video came..I think it was called Pit Fall. (I could be totally wrong about the video game thing though..that person may have actually gotten eaten by the crocs.) Anyway..I'd totally take the crocs, you know..if the tigers actually eat women.
I am agreeing with you. Crocs all the way .. quick 'n easy!
I thought about this for a while, ladies, and I think I'll take my chances with the tiger. At least there's some slim chance I could evade the cat, whereas the water is full of crocs, according to the hypothetical.
Of course, gimme that .30-06 or AR-15 and I'll do both...are you with me Mr. D?
CROCS
TEAM JULIE
just drown me and roll me around .. it'll be faster
and i was thinking i could RUN.. and step on their heads and make it to safety.. on an island.. there is no safety
fun idea
remind me when you do it again if you remember !
xoxo
