I had an "O Crap!" moment when the EM asked where the dog was. I asked him why and he said if I can't produce him, the wife would have to undergo the rabies shots.
We are in a semi-developed area in that during the housing boom, some developer came in, created 1/2 acre parcels and installed tarmac roads - then when bankrupt after selling only five houses. There were lots of vacant areas.
Neighbors had come over to see if they could help and I made a posse of them to search for the dog, as I knew he couldn't have gone far. Sure enough, in a clump of bushes less than 100 yards off, he was found, and luckily proved rabies free.
What is weird is that I was merely commenting on a common problem rural folks have with city people coming out and dumping their unwanted pets and causing all kinds of collateral grief. I didn't feel like going into detail as no one would be interested in a common occurrence.
Instead, 5th MEB and Eaker, two candidates for the Olympic Gold Medal for Conclusion Jumping, repeatedly shot their mouths off, cloaking themselves in a bogus nobility, and posting all kinds of juvenile name calling (I'm a Muslim? Jesus, don't tell my Rabbi. :-) :-). )
Miss 5th MEB even emailed* me with additional idiotic comments, which is another indication of what I am dealing with.
* as in "You are obviously an ignorant ass city boy when it comes to tracking and killing, so I don’t think your comments are relevant or for that matter worth continuing this conversation. So; BY BY NOW."
My responses end now
Guess not.
I had an "O Crap!" moment when the EM asked where the dog was.
Did you tell him you have a halo because you were so smart, cool and tough that you just wounded the dog so it could run off and die in pain rather than finishing the job?
Wee halo fell right the hell off didn't it?
PS: We weren't "shooting our mouths off" as we were right and you were wrong.
PPS: Had the dog's body not been found your wife would be getting rabies shots and you would have been an even bigger POS. (I bet you wouldn't have come back and posted about her pain because of your arrogance though.)
How fascinating that we *now* get the ‘rest of the story’ which, coincidentally, neatly ties up all those obnoxious loose threads.
Funny thing about forums...you can say anything you want and nobody can make you prove it.
Very...funny, that.
