Still round the corner there may wait |

Home is behind, the world ahead, |
And hermit crabs ain't got enough meat on 'em to be worth cooking either!
They are pets with no purpose, that's for sure.
Take care of yourself. We don't think you're dull. At least I don't, can't vouch for the rset of these weirdos.
Heh, I got to show off my collection of old science fiction today! The friend who helped me haul my books down was rather taken aback at home many volumes I have...
*laughing* What a mental picture you've painted....
snappity-snappity....hehehehe
(((Bear)))
Get some rest, hon. We're here whenever you need us, ok?
They probly 'splode when ya put em on the grill.
You could just boil them in their tank...
well... mranad is paintin' the new mailbox...
I bought a 18" section of 10" square tubular steel, 3/8" thick... took it to the VoTech welding class (the one I taught before), and gave the class a practical application exercise... the durn thing weighs at least 60 lbs... could survive a nuclear blast... gonna weld a section of chain off the back and drop the runnin' end into 100 lbs of cement...
can't wait fer the next peckerwood that tries to bash it... actually... no, I don't... fargin' bastiges...
That's what we do with the bigger ones. Never thought of having a pet dungeoness though. Unruly little buggers.
mmmmmmmmm.... 'splode...
I've eaten werse...
hehe. Nice.
How about some reactive armor? :-)
too 'spensive... I'd love to implement that tho'...
Evening G'nad, since I didn't hear any reports of "gallorching in the Ozarks, film at 11" I guess you didn't catch 'em. Good luck on thenewbox.
got the youth (boys) comin' out here tomorrow to cut wood fer a ministry...
should be interestin'... we'll see if'n they can hack... we plan tuh werk 'em like dogs...
I gottafew ideas... but I ain't certain... course, I ain't a real jury... I don't give a crap 'bout "reasonable doubt"...
Yah... nice solution tho... reminds me... my mailbox needs a rebuild agin. Wood post has gone wobbly. Need sumthing more... permanent...
There's been many reports around our county of mail thieves (ID theft rings) working nearby neighborhoods. Dad installed one of those mailbox alarms that alerts inside the house when the door opens, so that stuff doesn't sit there.
Heard about a nifty mailbox that's selling like hotcakes. Heavy steel, and vault-like, but requires a key to open. Maildude can deposit mail through a one way trap, but to get it back out requires the key.
Maybe not a bad idea, I'm thinkin'.
Heh - all we need is 'probable cause'.
Probably would be a good idea to have a 'safety session' afore turning the young 'uns loose with in the woods with sharp tools and motorized stuff. The paperwork involved with 'accident on duty' is a real pain.
"pay attention, don't want you bleeding all over my woods." :-0
got 'em organized, and supervised... they ain't gonna be all over the woods...
one of the incentives for max participation was gettin' a little trigger time on thenewrange...
the safety brief will be severe... "I'm wearing a sidearm... if any of you lose your mind a point a weapon at another person, I will shoot you dead to protect the innocent..."
all we gots is a hasp... but that's an idea...
I always thought that cutting a watermelon in half with a chainsaw was a particularly vivid visual safety lesson.
Werks with hollow points too... :-)
Reinforces the idea that "things cut off with chainsaws cannot always be sewn back on."
