<br />
4)Please don't get upset if you don't win. There will be other contest.<br />

<br />
6) When submitting, please include what catagory you're entering in and there is no limit on how many pieces you can enter. Also don't forget a discription.<br />
<br />
7) Only members can enter-just to be fair.<br />
<br />
8) It's okey if it was made way before the contest.<br />
<br />
<br />
Thats it. Since this is for the fans by the fans, feel free to make suggestions. ^_^    <br />
<br />
PS If anyone wants to be a judge let me know. However, if you're a judge you can't submit work into the contest. So noone accuses us of being bias.<br /><br /> ]]></description>

<span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39230170/"><img src="http://ic3.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/247/4/5/Godspeed_croc_hunter_by_Lascaux.jpg" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39281175/"><img src="http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/247/f/5/I_Miss_Steve_Irwin_Stamp_by_skwurlluvr.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span> <span class="shadow-holder"><span class="shadow"><a href="http://www.deviantart.com/deviation/39276159/"><img src="http://ic1.deviantart.com/fs11/i/2006/247/1/d/Steve_Irwin_stamp_by_DarkMythril.gif" width="99" height="56" /></a></span></span><br /><br />Well it seems that we'll get a tribute documentry and the last show Steve EVER made. Here's the <a href="http://www.accesshollywood.com/television/ah2902.shtml">[link]</a><br />
<br />
It's kind of ironic that Steve would work with the Costeau's considering Jaques was not kind to animals. There is even footage of the late Jaques Costeau, running over a baby whale with his boat(on purpose) and filming the scavengers picking at it while it died slowly. Yet this is his grandson and we aren't always like our relatives.  My grandfather was a drunk and a womanizer, so yeah.<br />
<br />
I'm going to run a poll on weather or not to have a contest. It would be on literature and art involving the Croc Hunter. It doesn't have to be an RIP thing it can be anything. There are no limits to what you can do. However, no jokes about his death (it's old, be original) be careful about slashy things, because since the croc man only died a few months ago, people might get offended. The choice is basically yours. I think romantic/nude or anything of the nature is fine as long as it's respectful. Profanity in literature is never a problem for me. Besides, anyone who caught the orignal Croc Live speical knows that Steve loved to use the f-word and the word shit. (only his shows were g-rated folks) If anyone has any ideas let me know. I may or may not be able to give out prizes. I'm in college and you know how that goes.<br />

Monday, 4 September 2006, a day that left a dark mark on everyones soul. <br />
On that day, the most impossible thing happened<br />
<br />
A man who seemed immortal, died.<br />
<br />
Stephen Robert Irwin, loving husband of Terri Irwin-Raines and wonderfull father of Bindi Sue and Robert Clarence, passed away at the young age of 44 while doing what he loved most: working with animals. He got stung in his heart by a stingray barb while making a documentary.<br />
<br />
But, as Steve would say: It's never the animal's fault. It only acted in pure defense, a completely natural reaction. <br />
<br />
If you would like to join the Irwinites to remember this great man, a true blue hero and fair dinkum wildlife warrior, please send us a note with the subject 'Join'. Please put our icon in your journal as soon as you see your name in the list.<br />
<br />
In tribute to the Crocodile Hunter,we will never forget you.<br />
<br />
Steve Irwin, your everything to me<br />
Your faithful aussie slogans really ring a bell with me<br />
they hit a nerve in me<br />

<br />
Bindi has just released her excersie DVD and will resume working on the show that her father died making. (its not as bad as that sounds) I'm a little old for her stuff though. It's mostly geared towards kids and how many 20-something-year old adults do you know, get excited over an eight year old?<br />
 <br />
Happy Feet, which features a cameo by Steve, is #1 at the box office in the US. (I wanna see that, Borat, and Tenacious-D)<br />
<br />
Thousands continue to pay respects to Steve even three months after his death.<br />
<br />
Depressing stuff: Terri talks about coping without Steve in a new magizine article which can be found at this site: <a href="http://www.australiazoo.com.au">[link]</a> (in the news section I think) <br />
<br />
Robert(Baby Bob) still having trouble coping and still asks for daddy. <br />
<br />
Still no word on where the death tape is or how many copies (if any) have been made. Please notify me if you find a copy. I have the proper contact info just in case.<br />
<br />
Other stuff:<br />
<br />
Anyone intrested in a Croc Hunter art/literature/poetry contest? <br />

<br />
<br />
Bill Mahr has still refused to apologize. <br />
<br />
Terri has taken the kids to a shrink because Bindi was still too happy after dad died and Bob was having trouble coping. It's been my experience that if you grieve now, it won't come and haunt you later. With Bindi's rise to fame and the fact that she hasn't grieved, has me worried. No so much the fame, just the fact that with all she has to put up with, plus this storm cloud over her head, it doesn't look good. Terri is behind her and thats the good news.<br />
<br />
There is word that the death tape got out and copies have been sold. Several people have handled the tape since the police have had it and there is no word as to where it is. This also looks bad. Perhaps if people like Mahr see it, they'll stop saying he provked the ray.<br />
<br />
Now for the website:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.irwinitesunite.forumwise.com">[link]</a><br />
<br />
There are others, but this one is my favorite so far. I'll be coming out with my own soon. Where the rules will even be more laxed. Why? Because it was well known that while the Irwins tried to keep it PG in their shows, Steve cursed like a sailor and he and Terri were very open about their bedroom habits. lol A female fan once flashed Steve and he thought it was funny. He even regularly watched the Naked News with his son. So I think it wouldn't be disrepectful for fans to be fans.<br />

Do Steve a favor and watch the shows, even if you leave it on fo backgrond noise. Also donate to Wildlife Warriors. Lets keep the legacy alive.<br />
<br />
Latest in Irwin News:<br />
<br />
Recently there has been a wave of people poking fun at Steve's death. A parody on South Park (big surprise) and a halloween costume complete with a barb in the cheast. There are more but too many to name. I used to be a big fan of Bill Mahr until he wore the costume and then refused to apologize. I used to have the PVR set to record his show and I have now deleted that setting. He heard one word from PETA and based his opinion on that. I let the fact that he kept flip-flopping on the Iraqi war slide, but this can't be forgiven. Don't write letters, Irwin fans. They don't care and they are doing this for attenion. That and the fact that some of these people haven't gotten laid since the Regan adminstration. Bill Mahr may just need to be educated because I'd like to think he a little more intelligent than than, but other than that, the best we can do is not watch his show or South Park until one of these nimrods apologizes. Which may never happen. <br />
Terri saw the South Park thing and the halloween costume and broke down. None of these people cared.<br />

Monday, 4 September 2006, a day that left a dark mark on everyones soul. <br />
On that day, the most impossible thing happened<br />
<br />
A man who seemed immortal, died.<br />
<br />
Stephen Robert Irwin, loving husband of Terri Irwin-Raines and wonderfull father of Bindi Sue and Robert Clarence, passed away at the young age of 44 while doing what he loved most: working with animals. He got stung in his heart by a stingray barb while making a documentary.<br />
<br />
But, as Steve would say: It's never the animal's fault. It only acted in pure defense, a completely natural reaction. <br />

<b> DEAR IRWIN-FANS, HEAR MY CALL! </b><br />
<br />
Very recently, I heard that so-called Irwin-fans have been killing at least ten stingrays. I can tell you that Steve would NEVER approve such things!!! Like we've said earlier: It's never the animal's fault. It only acted in pure defense, a completely natural reaction. <br />
<br />
If you are one of those people, or know a person who's killed a stingray because of Steve's death, then STOP THIS!!! One stingray has defended itself, and there's no need to kill every stingray you see. It's like discriminating them because one spoilt it for the rest of them!<br />
<br />
<b> STOP USELESS STINGRAY-MURDERING! </b><br />
<br />
