That's why I'm always a bit leery around rotted tree stumps and hollow logs. 24 minutes ago, notsmokinjo said: How did ya kill thefvcker? 20 minutes ago, notsmokinjo said: dad was always pretty handy with a shovel... You just answered your own question. The shovel is the internationally accepted standard for snake killing tools. Whack, chop, done. And I used the same shovel to give him a proper burial. Used the same technique as swinging a baseball bat to chuck him out into the woods. 27 minutes ago, notsmokinjo said: Will is den brother come hunting revenge? If he does, I'll be ready...

Or maybe the "R" rated version of that. There are some dogs next door...

They probably just Huntsmen... we keep them as pets, because the keep the fly and mozzie numbers down... (year right, I see anything sporting 8 legs and the hole in the ozone layer grows as I spray it out of existence.
June 1, 20188 yr At least snakes mostly keep to themselves. Unlike the stupid "bully" breeds of dogs that Americans think are cool to own. Compensation I suppose. I tell people this though - us humans are the most dangerous and vicious animal there is. Try not to forget that when it comes to dealing with other forms of life. Jo hates arachnids. Common fear. But unless it is something dangerous, they are just ugly. MY most hated creature are wasps/hornets. At least spiders do not fly around.
June 1, 20188 yr Well!!!.if your talking about what I hate the most... MAGGOTS...I think I would rather have fought Boos snake ...that go anywhere near them They make me sick !!!!

MAGGOTS...I think I would rather have fought Boos snake ...that go anywhere near them They make me sick !!!! They definitely win the contest for "grossest pests". Snakes though - at least they look pretty cool. Much like other life forms that are ok to look at but not mess with, like maybe bears. Wasps and hornets are hated more because they can actually cause immediate pain.
June 2, 20188 yr Why would you microwave fish? In the workplace? After lunch was over? Excuse me, I meant over microwave fish After lunch was over. In other words, why do it when nobody can escape the nasty fumes? Eat the fish cold or not at all inconsiderate ******!
June 2, 20188 yr Colleen, there is a mature way of handling that situation. You don't go calling them inconsiderate (whatevers). Anyone with ANY grown-up manners knows you simply walk in and say, "Bejesus Chrimeney, this lunch room smells like a trash can full of used tampons!" That is the polite way of letting someone know their lunch is stanking up the place.
June 2, 20188 yr The other day I saw a garter snake in my window well outside, ignore it as it wasn't bothering anything until I heard the screams....did you know frogs can scream? It had caught a small frog...couldnt handle that noise so interfered with the circle of life...I saved the frog and helped it escape by hitting the snake with a stick until it let it go....frog got away. The snake was pissed....than the snake came out of the window well later and duke tried to kill it and shook it and I saved the snake from the dog....
June 3, 20188 yr that snake had a hell of a day. First, some human took away his lunch, THEN some canine tried to kill him.
