I’d still be attached to the ceiling… :eek:
Oh, is that why that happens? I always thought it was because they reused something (tape?) and didn’t use it all up.
Ask about some oral acepromazine. Give it about an hour before you go.
Oh yeah … my own mini-rant. I know you’re married to one of my oldest friends, but if you EVER laugh at my child again, you will asked to leave and not invited back. He’s six, and understood every word you said.
Note to self: If you are stupid enough to wade into a biker brawl remember that you kick harder than you hit. And never, EVER use your fist to hit someone in the head. Go for the soft tissues. Dangit, you know better than this.
In other news, I have a raccoon raiding the cat feeders. It eats every bite of food and leaves the water bowls full of sludge. I have NO idea how raccoons survive in the desert, but I get them every year. At least they keep the skunks away. I hates trapping raccoons, they pee and poop and hiss and sometimes break their forelegs trying to get out of the trap.
My neighbor the creep and his contantly barking hellhounds took this last night at 9 pm to give me shit about lighting sparklers and bottle rockets with my niece and nephew. Luckily for me he could not bother to pick a fight with the other freaks on this block and their ginormous artillery shells. He came out and stood there muttering like Snidely Whiplash.
Got back from a late-night food and cleaning products shoppping trip and I don’t know what the fuck it is with HORRRIBLE music on every late errand. Blinded By The Light And Big Girls don’t cry two of the most annoying things committed to tape that make you want to punch the bejeeezus outta somebody.
If you must go for the head area, hit side of the neck, the soft part, below the ears or slightly behind. Or palm strike (open hand, striking with the heel of the palm).
Good advice, thank you. Considering your background, you have probably used these moves in the past.
For the others reading this thread…who are probably saner than us…when the drunken brawl starts…bar fights aren’t nearly as much fun IRL than they look like in the movies. Hide under a table or something.
Better yet, run away.
Actually, no I haven’t, but I have a couple of belts in this and that and some training. That and some pain sensitive hands. I only broke a board with my fist once. :(. But I’ve broken quite a few with palm heel strikes or elbow/forearm strikes.
And yes, run away. The very first lesson my karate teacher gave was to say the best way to survive a fight was to not be there.
Stay out of brawls, flatlined!
Do you put covers on your traps? I used whatever fabric I could find - old tablecloths work well - and cover all but the open end of the trap. After the (cat, dog, raccoon, possum) is inside, the cover really does a lot to reduce stress levels in the animals.
On one memorable occasion I approached a trap thinking “What’s wrong with this picture? Wait, I know I put a cover on that trap” Getting closer, I saw the trap was occupied by the World’s Largest Raccoon, who had used his clever little hands to pull bits of the cover into the trap and shred them. I didn’t find a piece of the cover larger than 3x3 inches. I retrieved my handy open-traps-from-a-distance broomstick and flipped open the trap. Mr W.L. Raccoon trundled off in no big hurry after glaring at me.
Drop dead, Bill Johnson. You’re a greedy, shameless asshole who can officially choke to dead on your unearned millions.
So, we have a (nearly) dead tree in the front yard. Last month, I started to call several local businesses about tree removal.
I got zero callbacks. I even called the place that advertises they are a “Christian business”. Nothin’. WWJD? Not return my calls, apparently!
I remember having this same problem with home improvement contractors in NH around 2003, when their business was good.
Don’t places realize that if I can’t trust you to call me back on the initial call, I won’t trust you for anything else,either?
I had a gout flare-up. New (left big) toe – the right foot big toe did not blow up this time.
BTAIM (Be That As It May), it’s been TWO WEEKS and I still have OUCHY PAINFUL edema in BOTH FEET.
WTF, as we all say sometimes. I’m gonna put my feets up & drink cold liquids.
Sign – no alcohol allowed. “It’s a trigger.”

What actually happens is that the national network provides a certain number of spots for the local cable or satellite company to sell, so they aren’t really “pre-empting” anything, just making use of the time in their contract.
However, since there is no guarantee that the local spots will be sold, the national network has standby spots to prevent dead airtime. if the local provider doesn’t time the changeover precisely, there will be a second or two of overlap, and that is what you’re seeing.
Waitaminute. You think you’re going to get away with THAT?
DETAILS, sister! The more embarrassing for you, the better! 
And I sincerely hope your hand is feeling better by Monday.
Howzabout a little Pit-love for the compensation committee that made it possible for him to pull that off?
Pretty much for the same reason there isn’t any mousie-flavored Meow Mix.
Relevant passage:
Can you elaborate?
flatlined, I’m joining the chorus asking for details!
The spider-hunting cat has moved on to crickets now. I found cricket parts strewn around the kitchen by the food bowl. At least they weren’t in my bed. Cat, I appreciate you ridding my place of bugs, but please finish off what you kill.
If I ever find toad parts you all will hear me scream, no matter where you live!
I am ok now Atomic Mama. I just don’t know what the heck it was made me so wretched , if it was food poisoning or a virus i picked up.
Ow. Ow. Ow. Shitty dental insurance and a nasty toothache are not a good combination.
