House Guest That Don't Leave

[Powderboy]

I like pistachios. What I like to do is take all the pistachios that you cannot open up and put them in big bowl. When you get a guest that comes over that you do not like. You bring out that special bowl of pistachios that are impossible to open up.

Those are easy. Just crack with your teeth.

Not for the moose silly, the turkey!

Good thing you clarified that. I was about to put up my moose net

A couple years ago we had a hard winter and a cow moose and 2 calves moved into our round bales. This was fine because she was definitely in need of a hand with that many mouths to feed, even when she chased my horses off their bale so she could eat I was still ok with that. One morning at about 5 am I came walking around the corner of my shop and she was right there not 10 feet away ears pinned and hair standing straight up. I had nowhere to go and the only thing that saved me was black dog, he follows me everywhere when I'm outside which was a damn good thing or I would have been nothing more than a red stain in the snowbank. That was when I realized the danger I was putting my grandkids in and decided she had to go. I tried everything to no avail, finally got some blunt arrows and had to shoot her in the chest from 40 yards away before she finally left for good.

Some guys (cough cough) woulda just whipped out a .45 & destroyed the dadgummed thing! And then driven over it while it was struggling for it's final breaths.

If the plural form of "goose" is "geese" ..... why isn't "moose" - "meese" ??

Steve, is that moose in your freezer yet, or are you letting it rot in the back yard?

Not since G&F stopped by last week....All the bushes are pruned back nicely now.
