Crikey! What a character

Irwin's one of those guys who was a character, a real character. No one would have the courage to create a guy like that for fiction because he seemed almost make believe, a guy who happily wrestled crocodiles and plunged into manky swamps with glee. My daughter had a Crocodile Hunter board game and it was big on crashing jeeps and chomping crocs.
So last night while we were eating pizza and wings, we were also tossing around our favorite Irwin-isms. They all went something like: "Crikey, ain't she a beaut? Look at her razor-sharp teeth--she'd take a bite outtah you're hand quicker'n a wallaby on the lam. Let's get close-ah."
He shall be missed.

I didn't realize he'd done so much with conservation - I hope someone will continue his legacy.
