Armadillos aren't born dead? News to me. :)) They look dead when they're alive.

There once was a little man I worked with who used to eat fish twice a week. The awful stench of the seasoning he used was enough to have you running to the bathroom, oddly enough, for FRESH AIR! The object of the game of lunch was quite simple: beat the little old man to the microwave or your lunch would be contaminated from the left over vapors (radiation?)! The race was on, like I said, at least twice a week. Many played the game. But the old man was a wise old man! You never knew which day he would pick or when he would throw in the odd third day. Many a participant (everyone who would used the microwave) lost this game routinely. At 4 foot 10, this little man made many a bigger person beaten down with despair.

Picture this: a welder running in his welder's leathers with his welding mask pushed up over his head and a container of food clutched in one hand in desperation to get there first. His run turns into a sudden stop and a look of disbelief. A "What to do now?" expression was all over his face. He looked at the little, but wise, old man and said, "Listen fella! If you are going to continue to eat fish for lunch, may I recommend that you catch the fish rather than pick them up off the shore. Here's a hint: you can use flies to catch fish, but if you see flies on your fish, leave it there on the ground!!! Your food stinks like $#!+, mister!!!!!!" (lunchroom folks laugh uncontrollably).:))

With that, the little old man never brought fish in for lunch again.

The End.

It might work - but not sure Wisconsin would be my pick of best place to start the first episode :confused: Too many Deer/Moose & fish available.

Have you ever tried to explain to someone living outside of the "Republic of Texas" That fire aunts (unless chocolate coated) can leave a real nasty bite.. on your ankle? OR That sand scorpions arent just crawfish that live away from the water? OR that Armadillo's aren't naturally born dead on the side of the road ??
Ok... first things first.... I AIN'T visiting nowhere where they have Tarantula Season..... nope... ain't doin' it... no way... no how... :eek: And scorpions are just armored spiders.... YUCK!!! (Anyone wanna guess what my phobia is??? ;) )

If you're from Flawidah (Florida for you Yankees... :cool: ), Armadillers are considered rat on a half-shell and fair game ... :biglaugh:

Well Mike you ought to live here in the Mojave Desert. We have a season when the Sidewinders all hatch at once (lots of little venomous worms crawling around), the scorpions pop out of the ground, the Black Widders multiply geometrically, and yes, the Tarantulas decide to all attend their annual convention at the same time.:eek: :biglaugh:

Come on out for a visit:bigwave:

Yeah...right...

Thanks Randy.... I've been to Barstow - spent a little time in 29 Palms, I much prefer San Diego (lived there for 9 years - love it!). However... ahhhh.....I think I'll stay right here in nothern Ohio. I don't mind the snakes at all, but the spiders (both armored & unarmored) you can keep 'em.

Neither me nor my wife like spiders... one time there was a very large arachnid in the car... he decided to drop down on a web right between us. You have never seen 2 adults bail out of a car so fast... :eek: It's a damn good thing we were parked, although I don't know if it would have made any difference had we been moving... :biglaugh:

Later!!!

And anytime folks tell me "those quality guys are off in their own little portion of outerspace" I'm not sure I could defend any of you
Don't need to defend us. Just be sure to NOT give out our star chart coordinates.

You got it Mike. My favorite uninvited guest story goes back about 5 years. During the annual "pick up the basement after Halloween and before Thanksgiving. I was scurrying around with the toy box picking up every last lego, action hero, etc and reached down to grab the "plastic" spider - about 2 inches big. You should have heard me scream when it moved! Hubby and kids ran down in a panic, but all I could say was "it's alive, it's alive".....


As far as southern wildlife encounters....it was the rattle from the slithering grass as I was looking for my golf ball this summer in Myrtle Beach. (Similar scream as above) We have all kinds of harmless snakes around our house, but nothing that rattles!


So we put up with the snow, and long winters, but at least our back yards don't kill us! I could bore you all even more with the story of the ladybug infestation we had this fall.....but without any lady bug recipes

There I was a sneakin' and a peakin' when I walked into a Banana Spider web. This thing looked like something out of a Stephen King movie or a Tarzan adventure. Well I'll tell ya what, I was the biggest baddest Marine you ever saw until it came to "SPIDERS":(

That web was like sticky rope, and that big green and yellow spider (as large as an Alaskan Snow Crab) started down that web (these spiders eat small monkeys), and that's all it took for me. :eek:

I started screamin' and yellin' like a 6 year old girl. I emptied my M-16 at that spider and was digging for my Kabar. My feet were going 50 miles an hour and I was standing still. I also felt a little wet. I got to thrashing around and making so much noise you could hear me all the way to Columbia.

It took a couple of other guys to tackle and bring me under control.:eek: We got to laughing so hard when it was over that the ol' man threatened us with a court martial .:))

Next time I'll tell you my snake story...:eek:

:bigwave:

Hey! y'all (translation from southernspeak - Hi everybody)

Shoulda been down my way today, I'm not sure if this story fits the "things you find in a car" or "roadkill dujour" category. A coworker was driving to work and TWO, count 'em -2, deer ran into her car. No, she did not run into them, they ran into her. One ended up in her back seat, the other didn't quite make it that far. Either that is the reason that we have an extra long deer season, or why so many southerners eat anything that jumps in front (or into) their car. I asked her if she field dressed the buggers, but I guess she didn't find my somewhat questionable sense (or lack of) humor funny.

Save a pick-up, hunt North Carolina! We still have a couple of months left in hunting season, and those dreaded deer are just begging to be bagged. yum, nothing tastier than deer jerky.

By the way, just so you don't think I'm totally insensitive, I did give her a hug and tell her how happy we all were that she did not get hurt. ....does anybody know an easy way to get deer hair out of small crevices such as under the chrome strips, etc?
