Endorphin Mine Field waiting to blow up in my head

Many of my spoofs (lately, the bulk of them) are inspired by comments on the web. "CSI: RGU" was a response to this anecdote on the Boing Boing comment board —

"A friend used to be an animal control officer in Florida. There are special rules for how to dispose of an alligator that has bitten a piece off of somebody because now it contains human remains. (even if the victim survived)"

This is classic Karl bait — big scary lizard, human remains, Florida, "special rules".

It's a God-damned Endorphin Mine Field waiting to blow up in my head, is what it is.
