  1. Years ago my next door neighbor had two nice Labs (one chocolate, one older black). When the neighbors were at work during good weather, the dogs stayed in their fenced back yard all day. For the first few years there were no problems, as they didn’t bark much at all. Then one Spring the young chocolate Lab started barking incessantly hours on end for several days in a row. By the second week it was getting really annoying, and I checked them out closer to discover that an asshole squirrel was sitting on a tree branch above the Lab chattering away, baiting the dog. I threw some pebbles at the tree rat and missed, not fazing it at all. The next day when the racket started up again, I went to Academy and bought some .177 pellets for the Daisy 880 - it can shoot them single shot. Went home to see the squirrel was still at it in the tree. So, standing on my back patio I loaded a single pellet after pumping the Daisy and shot the asshole tree rat off that branch and the Lab pounced on it to make short work finishing it off. Good dog. Problem solved.
  2. Got my 1960 MGA Roadster up past 90mph on 183 north of Luling late one night about 60 years ago. The little crate was rattling & creaking, and the steering wheel shaking like a stripper with a cockleburr in her g-string. So I came to my senses and slowed down to a potentially less disastrous speed.
  3. Murder map reminds me of the Servant Girls Annihilator case…..
  4. Dunno, but Bangalore is its sister city in India.
  5. Gotta be better than anything from Cleveland.
  6. Mom used her knitting needle on the back of our legs. Stung like hell when she flicked her wrist. When she said “Go get my knitting needle”, just those words would turn us brothers into a sobbing puddle of tears. Dad just gave us a good swift kick in the ass with the side of his foot.
  7. Still have the Daisy 880 in the closet. Last used it a few years ago to scare off a persistently annoying Blue Jay that kept dive-bombing me whenever I walked out the front door. It got stung good and quit the harassment, but lived to hassle someone else.
  8. Son & wife are going to Vegas for the Super Bowl this weekend. He made reservations at the Bellagio a long time ago, but is only getting a % discount off the room instead of the usual full comp. He said he paid face value for the game tickets. Mrs. Brat & I are going to watch it like everyone else on our 50 yard line flatscreen while consuming home cookin’.
  9. He bent over to help his friends.
  10. Wrong platform to use.
  11. Well, at lease those steps provided the homeless camp a safe hangout…. temporarily.
  12. I may have posted this before - saw it at the local drive in last year…..
  13. Looks like Shannon unloaded just in time.
  14. Except for the shitty design of the building. But yes, that area of old Guy Town had been pretty much dead since pre-WW1 - aside from the Covert dealership, the train station and a few commercial businesses.
  15. This guy has an amazing skill…..
