'GM' Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I "took care" of my coyote problem last night. I don't feel particularly good about it but it had to be done. I only shot one, but I think it was the right one. It was necessary, what was Tommy doing when you shot the Coyote? Well, he was growling at the front door downstairs when they first started yapping around the grill. I was by the loft window upstairs. I had it open but I was back in the room about 1 meter from the window so they wouldn't see me. I watched them for about 5 minutes until a really big one came out and started pushing the others around. I figured he was my guy. Once I shot I think tommy went from growling to barking. I'm not sure. My ears are still ringing from firing from inside a small room! I shot a rat (a HUGE rat) one day in the horse barn. The shot blasted its teeth into the wood. Sickening. Next time I shot a rat it was with a 22 and not a shotgun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But then Krackhead left and so did Klown; Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town. Bad news on the Front Page, BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.

Walsingham Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I remember my father shooting rats with a .22, using a stew-bone tied to a stake as bait.

Raithe Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Wondering if I'm going to start to develop the shakes without use of a properly working and active pc.. Of course, it's always the way. I've gone through a few weeks of just not having any serious gaming urges, then the moment I can't sit down and play them..I'm all "damn it, I need to shoot something / conquer the world on x game" and its bugging the hell out of me that I can't scratch that itch.. heh.

LadyCrimson Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 I'm a KB/mouse type of person. very strongly so. But lately I've been feeling like getting a pc xbox controller of my own purely for occasional Borderlands use. So I can play in my den whilst lounging on the daybed that sits near my large desk. Especially with winter coming up. I might need to buy a 30" monitor if I do that, however, and I barely have room on here for my two current monitors. I suppose I could shove the daybed closer to my desk....or hang the monitor from the ceiling on a remote controlled cable/pulley/rail system. That would truly make me a geek... “Things are as they are.

Maybe she was trying to hit the barn, the rat was just collateral damage Joking aside, my younger brother discovered a short while ago how unpleasant rats can be. Looks like they get the city council to take care of it though, having contacted them. Spent the weekend just indulging myself. Doing absolutely nothing other than enjoy some mild spring weather (at least during the day time, nights are still on the cool side). Played a bit of games. Read a book. Drank some Cognac. Went for a walk in the park lands. Life was good. Now it's Monday again... “He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt.

BruceVC Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Strange morning. Awoke at a friend's house, with a hangover, and have spent the morning being utterly confused and terrified by their kids. Also, I note that children are far FAR too loud.

Don't give up on drinking yet, you're still not at rock bottom. Will you STOP trying to reform my drinking fer chrissakes? I have a two can rule most nights, don't have many of those, and only get hungover drunk at the weekend. I'm practically teetotal. Don't make me quote Chesterton at you, baby. "It wasn't lies.

Malcador Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Clients are an never ending source of amusement as they bitch for solutions then decide to not take the solutions and instead want some OTHER fixes ahead of the supposedly urgent ones. And then complain about the service they get. Why has elegance found so little following? Elegance has the disadvantage that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it. - Edsger Wybe Dijkstra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LadyCrimson Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Seem to be a in a bit of a blue funk. ...and the toilet needs a new float, which gave me a bit of amusement. The tank lid is off (so I can pull the float up when it sticks/doesn't shut off), so when Mr. Black jumped onto the toilet seat, the view/noise of the water flushing startled him. He stuck his nose partway in the tank to watch, then freaked out and went skidding back to the living room. Brave is not in his vocabulary. 2 “Things are as they are.

Woldan Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Just returned from the Hockenheim Speedway rock festival and I have to say it was the best festival I've been to so far.I could finally fulfill my dream of seeing Nine Inch Nails live, and I even made it up to the second row just before the barrier. The moshpit was insane when NIN played ''Head like a hole'' and ''March of the pigs'' (collapsed people everywhere) and the light show was amazing.A System Of A Down and Deftones were excellent too, lots of moshing.Since it hadn't rained for days the ground was dry and really dusty which added to the cool factor but also made breathing very unpleasant and soon everyone was covered in dirt. Thats why I (left) had to cover my mouth. 2 I gazed at the dead, and for one dark moment I saw a banquet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
