hope he doesn't try slashing at anyone with those, owww!

too lazy to post this in humor and make a linque:

Lookout123 was on one of his carribean cruises and while at port he chanced to meet a pirate. Pegleg, eyepatch, hook, parrot; the works. Being the cheery chap he is, L123 struck up a conversation.
"Been a pirate long?"
"Arrg, matey. 37 year it's been this month"
"How'd you get the hook?"
Arrg! don't ya know I was raidin some spanish gold along the keys and I slipped on a lime peel, I lost me balance for a moment and it was just enough time for me adversary to lop off me 'and."
"ouch. I bet that must have smarted. What about the peg leg?"
"Well, matey, sometimes when you go ashore to bury your booty in the sand you can only get so close in the dingy, don't ya know? The rest of the way ye have to make by foot. In my case I ran into some trouble with a 'gator in the swamps off the Carolinas. It was touch and go for a moment there, but I got his tail and he got me leg. I be usin' his tail as a bivvy sack."
"Whoa. Did you know Steve Irwin?"
"Nay matey, never met the blighter"
"So what about the eyepatch?"
"Well, don't ya know? It was my turn on watch and I heard a sound up above and looked up jsut as a seagull was flyin' over head. At that moment he lets loose with a big shit and it lands right in me eye!"
"And that blinded you?"
"Nay, matey. But ya see it was the first day with me new hook."

if only this could have come 12 days earlier. (or 353 days later...)

What's the price of getting a good photo?

This guy was walking around and I just had to chase him into the woods.

The doctors tell me there's hope for recovering from this moonlight encounter with cosmetic surgery.

Did he make snorty-piggy noises at you? We used to chase armadillos, as kids. They're fast, sneaky, and head straight for a cactus patch...

The first photo's flash made him jump so visibly that I couldnt stop laughing. Then someone said that cornering the little guy with my cam flash going off might not be a good idea.

He was silent the entire time, no snorts or growls.

It's like encountering a dinosaur or something... bizarre creatures.

...that are notorius for carrying leprosy. :eek:

Oops... I didn't think it was a big deal since it was an animal. I will be more cautious next time. Sorry! :o

Armadillos in Connect-i-kut?

They're sure thick in Missouri these days. We squished the crap out of one last weekend down at the lake. They make a sort of crunchy noise when you drive the car over them (not on purpose).

the northward expansion of the 'armoured opossum' range is probably another indication of global warming.

That was in Tex-ass.

I move around a lot. ;)

You dont have to deny your desire to kill animals Ep. :D

If it's with a car, and not an E_V_I_L firearm, it's ok.
