"Superb"

By sparkie_ac, Sep 09, 2007

It was nice to see our friends from the Alligator farm again and the boss has not lost his sense of humor or his fun in playing pranks on Mike.
Mike get up close and really really personal with some fire ants in places that we didn't get or need to see :) And of course Mike doesn't miss a note he keeps his sense of humor and as he jumps up and down declares he has "ants in his pants..." But they leave a mean bit and Mike has to step behind to check all the important stuff.
Mike finds he can't walk on water or on grass and water. Nor can he talk to sweet with to a mom while they are stealing her eggs.
Of course he earns points for attempt to hit is crew with long stakes to mark their nests. But the crew was not lucky when they where leaving and Barsky qoutes, "Yeah. Don't go into television.." after losing lots of cameras.
Another educational episode as well and entertaining for the whole family.moreless

  EDIT SHARE
- Mike: (holding camera with wrecked equipment in the background) We hope you've enjoyed this behind the scenes look at why Dirty Jobs is no longer on the air. It was fun for us. We hope you got a kick out of it, and perhaps took a cautionary tale from the proceedings.
