One of many names for an outhouse is "the long drop," but that setup is really silly.

I tried making a cloud egg this morning with bacon and cheese in the beaten egg white.
Too much white around the yolk had me cooking it longer than it should have, leaving me with a brown cloud.
How now brown cloud?

Is it "Cloud Egg Day" or something? They've been talking about these on TV here just this morning... I'd never seen or heard of one before, but they look pretty good. What's your verdict?

That is how Santa left that particular home after dropping off presents last December.


The people in that house were really bad last year.

And this coming Christmas he will be ready to spread a little more Christmas Cheer, since those folks likely won't mend their ways.

the only response available to me is...you bring the matches and i'll bring the frying pan (they are quite reasonably priced as well)

your implacable foe
Dear foe.....
You really think I would do the deed myself when I have hundreds of suicide squad pyromaniac squirrels ready to act on a moments notice? You don't know Otis Squirrel!
Once old Rupert captured a Mama squirrel that built a nest under the hood of his prize Jeep, and hauled her off to the local park miles away. I sent a crew to do a little work on his Jeep wiring. It didn't burn down...this time! Next time, who knows?







The resulting damage was minor...only about $1200.!

Remember, we do house wiring too!

Best Regards
Otis Squirrel

PS
- I might cut you some slack if you show some sorrow for your murderous deed and post more over in the Squirrel Thread? I can't help you with the K3 you purchased, you will just have to live with that shame.

that is a very sound and logical process!

I bought an elephant rifle using that very same framework.

my lovely wife wanted to know what possible use a rifle like that would serve...simple really...rabid, rampaging pachyderms...not a problem, i'm ready
...or you could be planning a future career as a safari guide. On most of our walks in big game country we've been accompanied by someone with one of those big-bore walking sticks.

And on one walk our guide just had a reasonably big knife.
- "What if we encounter a lion?"
- "Then you stand still and stare at it until it goes away. It works 99 out of a hundred times.... but there are dangerous animals here as well, such as buffalo and hippo, so be careful."

We used a more traditional one in Oribi Gorge, South Africa. The gorge is about 400m/1300ft deep.

The sign on the right is for those with altitude intolerance.


And just in case you had forgotten after entering.

when I was vey young I read ruark, bell and the others
I watched the movies based on haggard novels (even read a few)
it was a prime fantasy to safari

as things happened I started hunting
I found I loved to hunt and track
the melding of intellect and physicality was most satisfying

i found i was very adept at killing...that gave me pause
something that serious shouldn't be so easy
no jitters, no regrets...nothing

so, i stopped

not hunting...in the backyard, the park, walking the dogs, roaming the farm, wherever i am
the observation and anticipation is a lot of fun

so i skipped the epic and embraced the mundane

all that is a long way to get to why i wanted an elephant gun, this cartoon...

Seems to be a viral thing right now.
It was just okay, about what I expected, basically a yolk in meringue.
I'll stick with stuff like this:

I got me a Daisy Red Ryder BB rifle when I was 12 or so....shot the birds on the pole wires out back like crazy. Any bird that landed was dead meat.
A little sparrow fell to the ground one day and was still flapping his little wings. I picked him up and he turned his little head and looked me directly in my eyes.....closed them and went limp. I never shot another bird, not ever.

Regards!

dear not quite getting it-

I gave up regret, sorrow and shame for lent some sixty years ago

it turned out they are not required for a wonderful life
so I have had to do the regular stuff like soda and Cheetos

I am the member of a race of apex predators
my car runs on the blood of long dead dinosaurs

you eat peanut butter, I mean sap, that oozes from trees...really?
do you honestly believe your feeble threats can have any consequence to me?

you hold sway over an unfortunate glossolalist
I will admit that remarks some unanticipated ability

it is not and will not be enough

if you continue with this vendetta I can guarantee that thousands of innocents will perish

the only positive outcome will be the royalties I receive from the three volume set of squirrel recipes that I will compose between suicidal wave attacks of pyromaniacal rodents

I recommend you not become a biological footnote
however that is on you

still implacable

dear really, you don't get it?-

threaten me...ok
threaten my dogs...that's just stupid

I will refer you to Wikipedia...https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Feist_(dog)...these aren't some malnourished Chernobyl refugee that may or may not have been eaten by carnivorous rodents
a pack are on their way from Appalachia as we speak

if this continues the outcome is certain

I will build a tower of skulls to hold my mailbox next the driveway paved with the itty-bitty bones of thousands of misguided tree rats

signed-
now i'm pissed
