Reggie the Alligator enjoys a Green-Tea-Non-Fat-Ice-Blended drink while hiding out in Hollywood where nobody will notice the unusual.

The excitement around Los Angeles County this week is the attempt to capture an elusive 6 ft 150 lb. alligator living in a lake in Harbor City. Hmmm, I didn't know there are lakes in LA county and for that matter I've never heard of Harbor City. Anyway I digress, the question is how did this creature end up in an urban park far away from the Florida everglades? The scoop is: two unscrupulous men running a suburban reptile habitat dumped the poor overgrown beast into the nearest lake. The two men have since been arrested seeing as possessing exotic animals is illegal and Reggie (the alligator) remains at large.
