I have them that size that come into the yard, eat fallen apples. When they finish, you would swear a human ate the thing. Core and ends look just like if I ate it. Amazing (but I still shoot them).
Had a Jack Russel fight a big groundhog to a draw. Both of them were torn up but no Jack Russel ever quit that I know of. I eventually reached around the dog and shot the ground hog, dog seemed disappointed.
You need a slit to hold and conduct the ink by capillary action. But pressing on the pen spreads the tip apart and controls the thickness of the line. But, if you press down a lot (i.e. make thicker lines), you need a new tip fairly often as it wears fast. And of course, you can get tips in all price ranges, but my experience has been that the cheaper ones work as well as the expensive ones. But keep in mind that I am of dead average amateur skill in using a fountain pen, so my opinion may not mean much here. The mere fact that they are able to get five times the price for the cheapest to the more expensive, must mean that in really trained hands the good ones make a difference.
#4 - Not all pens with the slot will do this. The writer is using a flexible nib fountain pen, likely in an oblique pen holder. The vast majority of fountain pens do not have a flexible nib.
Bored dog. That's one thing that really surprised me about that asshole dog Jack - he's never chewed up anything inside the house, I don't care how long we leave him alone.
#8 He needs to get that 1 pint hat off that tortoise's 1 gallon head. Be cool he had some spurs made for him...imagine the ringing sounds from a set of four?
#1 I say that's what happens when you don't spend quality time with Ruff.
#10 I secured a 100 ton boat to the fuel dock with a single half hitch on a piling. Of course, the current put tension on the hitch. As soon as the tension was released by motoring forward, the hitch fell away and we were on our way. You could do the same by idling in reverse gear.
I've watched guys standing on deck cast perfect figure eights onto a dock cleat. Pretty nifty.
#6 My Dachshund would have killed him or died trying. I've seen those dogs go down into holes and the ground hog would either pop out his other hole or the dogs dragged him out dead. Fierce little dogs.
Calling on anyone to look more closely at the Tortoise Guy. His right foot and tortoise left front foot move together. I can't determine if is mechanical or real. Any ideas?
For Thanksgiving dinner, my mom used to make a big turkey and a BIG platter of game (squirrels, rabbits, and groundhog)....the turkey would sit there untouched and the game would vaporize....she knew how to make it, and it was all delicious, but do you know which was hands-down the best and first to disappear? ....groundhog.
You sure #9 didn't come from your Facebook shit collection?
ReplyDeleteIIRC their book also quotes their main man as saying the moon emits its own light.

DeleteOne of the coolest things I ever saw was the way a rocky mountainside full of marmots in the Cascades responded to a golden eagle loitering overhead.
Delete"C'mon fucker - fight me Fight Me FIGHT ME !!!
DeleteWe used to have a problem with ground hogs in the yard. Took the salukis about 40 second to dispatch them if they stopped and gave the a WTF look.
DeleteThe groundhogs body language says "Come on at me fool."

DeleteA groundhog can F-up a dog. I saw it as kid. Ripped big hunting dog from shoulder to toes. Messed up real bad.
Delete#2 - hope her grandkids get to see that video! Give 'em a whole new perspective on aging.
ReplyDelete#4 - never knew why the tip of the pen had that slot. Cool!

My old man had a blue heeler that never met a goundhog he couldn’t handle.
ReplyDelete#3, I'll give the kid a break because that may be a school for the mentally challenged
ReplyDelete#7 never jumped Double Dutch.
ReplyDelete#10 Known several deck hands that could be rodeo stars with the way they can lasso and handle lines.
ReplyDeleteObviously, White boys can't jump.
ReplyDelete#9 worked with a muslim guy in northern AB. During Ramadon in 2010 he had under 45 minutes to eat a night.

#7 - There's a regular old door right there next to the revolving door, dumb ass.
ReplyDelete#1......untrained dog.....such a waste......
ReplyDeletethat’s almost as bad as rewarding a dog for bad behavior.

ReplyDelete#2 Well judge, she threw her come hither down on me and i lost control and had no idea what I was doin'. Judge, time served, you're outta here.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm a compasionate guy, if it was "Be kind to Trailer trash" month I'd bang her.
ReplyDeleteSince I'm trailer trash, I'd do her any old time.

No visible tattoos or piercings. She looks just fine to me. Then again, I’m also from Tennessee, so maybe it’s a local thing.

ReplyDeleteWhenever I get a groundhog in the yard I place a shovel full of dog shit right in the entrance to their den. Gets rid of them every time.
