Where does a Lion go... anywhere he wants.

Meals on wheels.

Look, somebody had to say it. :)

If you hadn't, I woulda.

Phones interfering with experience? It's always a balance...

Another Squirrel King, pine pitch to blame...

It's not so much living next to nature, it's having nature move in with you...

:eek:EEK!!!

Oh, HELL no. If I opened my oven and found a big snake inside, :eek: I would slam the door, crank the oven to max, and cook that fucker to a crisp.

ACK!

I'd be more worried about the "hole at the back of the oven." Fire hazard, anyone?

Yeah, that doesn't seem right at all!

Snek door. Work like doggie door.

Yeah, fuck snek.

Never seen an oven door open that way.

A month or two ago I was watching on a webcam, the brown bears in Alaska catching Salmon.
I noticed one huge bear under some overhanging brush against the far bank just below the falls.
Come to find out his name is Otis and this year, for the third year in a row, he was voted via the internet the title of fattest bear.

Cleaning out the storage rooms in the basement recently, and commenting to each other on the lack of 'mouse evidence' and our obvious success in persuading the mice to depart and live elsewhere in our woods ... we found two LONG (24-36") snakeskins shed against a back wall.

No wonder the mice have departed. The survivors, that is. :eek:

What survivors?:eyebrow:

Now I want snakes again.

Will you settle for a pet Moose? Not this one, he dead.

good lord.

How did he get it in the truck?

Winch it up on a gantry and back the truck under it?

Electric stoves with visible elements have the same cabinet as gas stoves. The hole in the back is for the co2 module on a gas stove. My brother had a gas stove and one night we heard a loud boom in the kitchen. The module had enough and exploded. It was an old stove and was time for a new one anyway.

Got roaches and can't get rid of them. Spray em, fog em, call the exterminator. Nooo go out in the yard and catch a couple green lizards and put in the kitchen cabinet. Sometimes I have to replace one as the cats like lizards to play with.

OK, WTF is a "63 rank moose?"

Don't know, that was the caption on the picture, but I'd assume it's the spread of the rack.

Google doesn't seem to know either.

Or maybe:
https://www.boone-crockett.org/bgrec...rds&type=Moose

Never heard that phrase before.

Possibly ranked 63rd in a list, such as the B&C Records mentioned, or maybe Pope & Young Club Records.

I'd go with spread of antler, expressed in inches.

If that's a "journalist's" work, though, they prolly didn't know wtf they were talking about.

Boone and Crockett was my first thought but by their system a big moose would be at least 200.
I wasn't familiar with Pope-Young but they apparently use the same scoring system as Boone and Crockett.

Want to see a Canadian take a record moose with an arrow from 3 yards away?

Huntsman spiders eat frogs/toads too. :eek:

With the Cellar's rare failing to come through, I guess that "63 rank" must just mean "dead" in New Brunswick.

Google search for "63 rank moose"...:yelsick:

In New Brunswick 63 rank means 63 inch spread on the rack.

I was a little chilled when I saw the first Cellar hit on Google.
I like my answer better, though I'll click on a link to Bruce's.

Maybe "rank" is just a typo for "rack."

If that's a five foot spread, that man's four feet tall.

Bucks are usually measured by the number of points on the antlers. I only count 40-something moose nubs from this angle, but maybe there are others that are harder to see.

Points are not counted on a moose, they go by spread, in inches.

And shovels.

:smack:

Clearing some old logs and found a few of these huge guys. I suspect it's the larvae of the ox beetle, previously seen here:

It's not Friday so I don't know how to cook it...

Baby Chestburster

Cook it? What are you, some kind of pussy, or something?:eyebrow:

fair point... :smack:

Guess what's chasing this boat. :eek:

The deadliest animal (to man and besides man) in Africa.

That's the biggest fucking mosquito I've ever seen.

Good point. I missed the mosquito modifier, but we kill more of them than they do of us.

Mosquito is not an animal.

It is, by taxonomic, and by 20 questions rules.

Not outside biology texts, and certainly not in conversation. :rolleyes:

Well, mosquitoes ain't rocks. They ain't plants. And they suck blood.















They must be ex-wives, then.

The Hudson's Bay Company records of Lynx pelts reported.
note: it's 10 to the 4th power scale, so the 6 = 60,000.

Damn, that's a lot of cats.
Cleaned 'em out in the "5" years, recovered in 10.

Nah, them raccoons ain't rabid...

...they're just drunk.

Wait'll he finds hisself a shiv and catches ya behind the laundry...

Pretty sure he has Anthrax.

You're thinking of the little ivy-eaters.

This one's secret is Hantavirus.

That'll get ya.

Pooh...

A bear with a toothache.

That's a pretty frightening thought, right there.

I turn into a bear when I have a toothache.

What do bears turn into? I'm guessing it ain't hugs and kisses.

Well, maybe hugs.

And big, wet, toothy, bloody kisses.

Epic battle, the Grouper escapes but too damaged to swim and get eaten by something else right away...
