Random repost. On account of the wage slavery.

    Thanks, Lex! A random post day with you flat beats the hell out of anything else around.

    I have had the …Joy of bees in the helmet and down the shirt. Prefer the shirt, the helmet does too good a job of keeping the bees alive.
    I also have had a mouse jump on my leg while boating. Fortunately it went overboard the first try. No epic fight to the death while careening across the bay. (thank god)

    Lex – you can randomly repost all you like. Old materials, new material – we don’t care.

    This one – is priceless. The malice in the beady eyes comment had me rolling. Such a vivid image did it give me.

    Thanks,

    Thats just funny. I can just see in my minds eye the rat bouncing off the top back at you. But mishaps are what memories are made off. Had you just ran the boat full speed that day, you’d prob never remember it. The rat however adds a whole new dimension.

    Like the reposts. Gives me a chance to read some posts before I joined Lex’s Legion.

    Funny every time.

    Are you sure your rat shipmate wasn’t a field mouse trying to crawl up your leg?

    @badbob, There is a BIG difference between a field mouse and an old fashioned bay rat. I killed one with a 5 tine pitchfork. There was rat on both ends, not tail, but rat.

    There was old barn, that had been down for many years. A decision was made to try to clean up this old barn and get rid of it. There were about 20 of us, of all ages. We raised this one wall. To our surprise, there was a rat’s nest under the wall, with many young rats. There was this one old guy wearing baggy work pants. As we raised the wall, we heard this old guy yell, “WHAT THE —–! I HOPE YOU GUYS HAVE IT!” He stepped back and grabbed his thigh. He pulled the young intruder away from his leg inside the pants leg, before he squeezed it to death. The old guy said, “He was getting close to home.” Hmmmmm. They wound up calling the local Fire Dept, we cleared a ring around the pile. Then we set the pile on fire, remember this happened 45 years ago, life was much simpler.

    Thanks. There I was feeling sorry for myself that its 103 outside and too hot to play, and here I am laughing out loud at the mental pictures. I just hope it doesn’t rain before I get the top back up on the jeep. And wage slavery? Pffff. We all gotta be slaves to something. (That is so un P.C. I can’t believe I wrote it.)
