flame away.

[joesnuffy]

No but I was around when my former Marine buddy decided to burn the brush that he had stacked up after clearing a spot for his new garage/workshop and had several flaming rabbits run out of the brush pile and "hide" under his new garage/workshop burning it to the ground.

[patton]

Dang! I thought, "This could only happen to ME!"

[patton]

You gotta laugh...

[SAJ]

Best laugh of the day -- wipin' away the tears!

[patton]

Thanks - I love my life, but sometimes it frightens me.

[Squantos]

LMAO !! Flamin Mice's..........!!!

I do remember a wounded rabbit that one of my troops decided to put out of it's misery with an M112 block of C-4 and a short fuze.......

As he taped the charge to the stunned bunny said bunny unknowingly recovered his senses. As the new wingnut EOD troop set Bugs down to walk away to a safe distance mr bunny decided to run under his nice new pickup truck full of gear on the far side of the range and Kaboom !

Bunnycide resulted in a crushed & parted out chevy and then set upon the wingnut airman a whole lot of paperwork, explaining and grief :o)

Stay Safe !

[patton]

LOL. Heard about the ice-fishers with dynomyte?

[Squantos]

Nope but I think I know the ending :o)

Stay Safe !

I heard of a sort of game folks played that involved a monkey, a conex box, and a grenade with a straight pin.

It was called "guess how long it will take the monkey to screw with the grenade and pull the pin out."

I just fired chapter 15 off to you.

Your Dad's from my hometown?

Sounds like it...

...but you didn't finish the story, who won the battle? Mouse or Man?

[patton]

....man

[dd5339]

ROTFLMAO!! Oh this one is to good, I'm still howling!

This thread brings to mind several different C4 stories from the corps... one of these days I'll write them down, (after making sure the statute of limitations has ran out!)

Semper Fi

I think I'll take my "L" cyanide pill shortly after revealing anything about my old artillery unit here in New York.

God that is funny, burning mice...
..kinda like the toilet paper round....
..or the glow-stick tracer round for artillery...
...which didn't work so well...

[frodolives]

You flatlanders are adorable! The horror of a porcupine! Good thing it wasn't a real interesting Idaho animal, like a bear or cougar.

But thanks for the cute story.

[Darksheare]

Well.... seeing a porcupine for the first time...
...pin-cushion-pig there kinda looks like Hillary with a GOOD hair day, and about as much personality to boot.

Now, seeing an armadillo... that little nightmare looks like living roadkill, squeeks, snuffles, and can jump four foot vertical. And he's got this nice Armani leather suit going for him.
And did I mention that his toenails make a mess out of your freshly waxed barracks floor?

"Hold muh beer 'n watch this!" PING....

If you want on or off this list, please let me know!

[mhking]

My brother says, "Let's fire this sucker up, and see what happens!"

Did he ask you to hold his beer first?

[patton]

Why, yes, he actually did. Did I forget to mention the beer?
