Was it a mamma-pappa coming for you?

Four foot gator? We use 'em for bait.

That alligator was on fire before I laid eyes on it.

For you, the day you saw a four-foot alligator was the most important day of your life. For me, it was a delicious snack.

They caught it without using Cluck-A-Bucket. Stephanie Plum would be proud.

I'm just posting in here because this story happened in my dad's hometown.

Wayne is a teeny little place? A population of 50,000, less than half an hour from the largest city in the US, home to the corporate headquarters of Toys R Us, GAF materials, and formerly American Cyanamid? The Wayne in Fountains of Wayne? George Washington slept here. Little place? Not so much.

Who's "messing?" I just always think it's cool to see the name of the place pop up out of nowhere. I mean, I spent so much of my childhood there, and hearing stories about how the town looked back in the 50s.

*sigh* I guess we have different opinions on what makes a town "small." I consider my other "hometown" in Florida teeny, since it's a suburb of Tampa, but, after checking wiki, I see that it's only got a few thousand more people than Wayne.

Doesn't make a difference. If you have to explain a place's location by saying, "it's about blah blah blah miles from *insert name of huge city here*," then it doesn't matter how many national corporate headquarters are there. The place is small.

And, let's be honest here--nobody outside of the tristate area would know about "Fountains of Wayne" if the band hadn't gained national recognition. Just sayin'...
