There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bacon is the candy bar of meats!

Only the dead have seen the end of war!

We have no problems whatsoever around me with feral cats- there are huge owls everywhere =D


As for various varmints, the BB vs .22 is moot. The right answer is .45.
I have an enfield action that I plan on turning into a Delisle carbine replica someday...

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

30 miles n of Milw,WI.

The Owls are awesome. We had a boom of rabbits one year- I mean hundreds of them running around the neighborhood, the next year we had an owl on top of every light post, the next year, owls and rabbits gone, 2 years later rabbit boom again, then the owls. Nature is fun to watch. =D

My son and I were playing catch in the backyard a few years ago and he found a nest of bunnies under one of our spruces. I grabbed a fishing net, had him poke with a stick from the other side, and together we caught 4 small bunnies. Not wanting to kill them outright in front to my 5 year old, I told him we would feed the owls. We put them in a deep cardboard box (deep enough that they couldn't jump out and a cat probably couldn't jump out with a rabbit in its mouth) and left it in the back yard. The next morning, bunnies were gone, but there was some bits of fur and blood in the box  =D

In the middle of the night in the summer we hear rabbits screaming just about every night if we have the windows open.

Just awesome. I'd love that.

We have squirrels and deer that live in our backyard. Oh yeah, and some doves. And I'm not allowed to shoot any.

That's got to be a pleasant way to go to sleep.....

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Now I know how they got the recordings of screaming rabbits they used to serenade Noriega.

As far as determining the sex of feral cats? Oh yeah, that's easy! Just find a feral cat & stick your nose real close to its genitals to see, they're very cooperative....

In fact, lets assign our new member kwikrnu the detail :angel: [popcorn]

Politicians and bureaucrats are considered productive if they swarm the populace like a plague of locust, devouring all substance in their path and leaving a swath of destruction like a firestorm. The technical term is "bipartisanship".

I hear shooting them and then walking up and checking them out works pretty well.
