Off to see the lizard (Part Deux)

I'm getting a lot of questions about what I would look like with an alligator on my head, so I thought I better get this other picture up before the suspense is just too much for you.

Just for fun, I'm going to turn this into a pop quiz. Who can identify the location where this photograph was taken by nationally-known cell phone photographer Linda Schmuck (no relation)?

Here's a hint: There was also a giant tortoise there, but I wasn't about to go near it after my unpleasant experience with that incontinent box turtle last year in Fort Lauderdale.

I'm going with Matthew's Wildlife Kingdom. I don't even know where that is really, but I think it's a solid guess.

You have been captured by descendents of Osceola who worship reptiles. They are filming a hostage video that will be sent to the editor at "The Sun"

Its on the dude's shirt! You could have come up with something more difficult than that like "What is the primary color of my jacket?" or "what kind of bird is perched on that power line?"

I'll cut you slack, a guy can lose focus with the day in day out stresses of covering spring training in Florida!!!

Is that a lizard in your pocket or are you just happy to be at spring training?

Hey Pete, try out GatorLand, Kissimmee, FL. Maybe they'll let you try to ride the Great White Alligator. He's an albino gator that's twelve feet long and goes about a ton and half. Have I missed your restaurant review?

About Peter Schmuck

Peter Schmuck wants you to know that, contrary to popular belief, he is more than just a bon vivant, raconteur and collector of blousy flowered shirts. He is a semi-respected journalist who has covered virtually every sport -- except luge, of course – and tackled issues that transcend the mere games people play. If that isn’t enough to qualify him to provide witty, wide-ranging commentary on the sports world ... and the rest of the world, for that matter ... he is an avid reader of history, biography and the classics, as well as a charming blowhard who pops off on both sports and politics on WBAL Radio. That means you can expect a little of everything in The Schmuck Stops Here, but the major focus will be keeping you up to the minute on Baltimore’s major sports teams and themes, whether it’s throwing up the Orioles lineup the minute it’s announced or updating you on the latest sprained ankle in Owings Mills. Oh, and by the way, that’s Mr. Schmuck to you.
