So if you haven't heard, there is an alligator in a Chicago park (named Chance the Snapper) and I thought it'd be fun to come up with a list of things we can do about it/for it.
- Hold a seance to summon the ghost of Steve Irwin to help us safely transfer the gator somewhere better suited.
- Get a photo book together of Chance the Snapper where the sales go to protecting crocodilians.
- Alter a bunch of Chicago merch to feature gators. Like replace the four stars of the flag on merch with four gators 🐊🐊🐊🐊.
- Host some free lectures about gators so people can learn more about them (and why you shouldn't get one as a pet).
- Make sure Chance the Snapper is fed. Is this being done? I don't know honestly.
- Throw an alligator art fair. All art must feature alligators or other crocodilians. And, hey, it's the summer...isn't Chicago all about fairs and festivals?
- On that note, throw a whole gator festival. Gator themed rides. Gator themed food (but not actually alligator). Gator face paint. Games where gator toys are the prize. I would hit this so hard.
- Name a beer after Chance the Snapper.
- Have a pop-up exhibit about Chance the Snapper at the Chicago History Museum. Chance is clearly going to be a part of our city's history.
- Adapt one of the songs about Chicago to be specifically about Chance.
- Do alligators on parade.
- Update the Illinois flag by replacing the eagle with an alligator.
- Erect a permanent sculpture of Chance in the Humboldt Park.
- Rename at least one of our teams to 'The Snappers' (I'd suggest our hockey team).
- Make up a new dance move inspired by Chance.
(Prompt by me)
