Nates were always capable of killing bombers. If dropped on them from great height, they'd kill 'em good, I'm sure. Similarly, a nate / gnat crashing into an opened bomb bay would likely destroy the bomber.

Honestly, Nik-I do wish you'd give these things some more thought...

Just got a 1000$ bill from the hospital and ER doctor for the simple act of getting a Tetnus Shot and having my wound irrigated.

Barfight?

CNN is claiming that 8/16/11 is national Rum Day. Made me think of The Thread for some reason

Cheers!

Hi all,

BTW, all pictures were taken by my iPhone 4 (HDR Mode) and resized via Adobe Photoshop to be forum friendly (1024x768 / 768x1024)...

Ahh, it's a beautiful evening in NC! About 80 and clear with low humidity and a nice sunset. A great night to sit out on the deck with my dogs, my laptop, and my rum.

I see you lurking Martin. How are you?

Mother-in-law and nephews are here. Then it's back to work tomorrow Then I need to try and get Sunday night off work so I'm in a fit state to do my annual CCS training on Monday/Tuesday. Never mind, three weeks leave coming up at the end of the month

Blimey! In that case I appreciate what you did for me yesterday even more.

GBL, Do we want to ask what Dixie did for you yesterday that has earned your gratitude? Shouldn't this be in your "batting for the other side" thread?

Don't get excited pervert - see post 25598

New underpants, please!

I just came downstairs from bed after nights to be told by my wife that I had a big spider on me. She wasn't bloody kidding. It was the biggest I have ever seen in the UK - about two and a half hairy inches across - and on the back of my neck!

Just got a 1000$ bill from the hospital and ER doctor for the simple act of getting a Tetnus Shot and having my wound irrigated.

Barfight?

Pitbull attack.

I am afraid to ask how...

Leo "Apollo11"

Some rocket scientist tied up his untrained pitbull to a street lamp on a corner. I was standing on said corner waiting to cross.....within reach of it. Dog seemed friendly enough. Didn't give any signals to stay away. Still.....I am always careful with strange animals. I spoke to him....had his attention.....again, seemed friendly...tail wagging. I slowly gave him my outer hand to sniff. I had about a half-second of warning when his facial expression changed.....was pulling hand back when i found it in his mouth.

Owner came running out of the pizza joint he was purusing and of course said the words we always expect in some circumstances when one has blood dripping from their extremity......"OH HE NEVER DOES THAT???!!!"

Jackass.

He and his pooch were fortunate that I'm a dog lover and a former pitbull owner. Showed him the stump (ok...exageration but you get the gist) and told him that he'd better address this "issue" before the next incident where THIS NEVER HAPPENS and he gets arrested, sued, and his animal put down. I should have reported it. What if it had been a small child? But i didn't want the animal punished for the owner's stupidity.

No good deed goes unpunished.....and I have a 1000 hospital bill.....and the jackass probably laughs about it with his friends when talking about the living extension of his manhood.
