"Sumter police say the men pulled out a cottonmouth water moccasin outside of A bar..."
This is why the South lost the war - poor grammar.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 04:47 PM
It being Sumter, you can't sling a dead cat without hitting a moccasin....
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2007 at 04:49 PM
Say, are you just happy to see me or is that a poisonous cottonmouth water moccasin in your. . . Ow!
Posted by: Lairbo | June 10, 2007 at 04:50 PM
reminds me of that old country song about Levi, the all-cotton mouth trouser snake.
Ok, so there's not really a song like that, but there should be.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 04:51 PM
This gives a whole new meaning to concealed carry laws.

He pulled it out of the air - see, in Sumter, snakes can fly. Or that's what I heard. Somewhere.
Posted by: Wolfsong | June 10, 2007 at 04:57 PM
Ah, CJ. Ever the Southern boy.

*snork* @ cotton mouth trouser snake!
(ok, is this never going to post, then double-post? probably)
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2007 at 05:19 PM
He probably put on the Wrong Trousers.
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 05:20 PM
I walked into a bar with cotton trousers but I forgot to zip up...the bartender said, "Why the long snake?"
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 05:26 PM
*snork snake* at stevie for messing with my favorite joke.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 05:33 PM
EXCELLENT jokeage Stevie! Especially considering the first person narrative. ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | June 10, 2007 at 05:34 PM
Clarification - I was laughing at Stevie's joke, not his first person snake.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 05:38 PM
Purely unintentional, aw. If you give a pig a teat, will it eat? if you give a pig a nipple, will it tipple?
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 05:39 PM
Thank you for clarifying, aw. But it never entered my mind that you would.
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 05:40 PM
First person snake? Isn't that the critter who said, "Come on, Adam - just one bite."
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 05:41 PM
I was framed. Adam's a liar.
Posted by: first person snake | June 10, 2007 at 05:44 PM
I'm just glad you've forgotten MY part in the whole fiasco!
Posted by: Eve | June 10, 2007 at 05:45 PM
*doublesteviesnork*!
BTW, I just watched a fabulous two-mile race in the Prefontaine Classic. An Ethiopian and an Aussie stayed with the 'rabbits' through the first mile then just ate up track all the way, with the Aussie coming on and blowing past the Ethiopian in the final 200, he was actually slowing down and waving to the crowds at the line and he ran it in 8:03.50. Remember, the 4-minute mile was once a big deal and he was slowing down. During the post race interview, when they asked him about why he stayed with the blistering pace that the rabbits set, he said, "Well it just depends on the size of yo' ballz!!" Hilarious, and the network anouncers just lost it!
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2007 at 05:47 PM
Bar! You know.... Rosanne!
....Wait. That's Barr.
Oh, I get it. Don't all
snakeslawyers have to pass the bar? That's what happened.Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | June 10, 2007 at 05:48 PM
You ladies still don't fully appreciate what we guys will
put up withgo through for that one sweet mouthful.Posted by: Adam | June 10, 2007 at 05:51 PM
Oh, yes. Yes, we do. Don't forget what WE have to go through for the same thing.... ;-)
Posted by: DeskDiva | June 10, 2007 at 05:53 PM
Ty, cj. Funny story! Those big ballz can get in the way sliding down the Bannister, though.
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 05:53 PM

*stink-eye* and two demerits to Steve/24 for his anachronistic snake/lawyer joke.
We sssnakes have ssscruples too.
Posted by: first person snake | June 10, 2007 at 05:54 PM
I walked into a bar, and the bartender says, "Nice asp."
Posted by: first person snake | June 10, 2007 at 05:56 PM
*snorks* @ Bannister!
US records in the mile and two-mile, in the rain and wind in Oregon and a very fast 800m make for some great couch-vegging after yard work.
Posted by: Agkistrodon piscivorous | June 10, 2007 at 06:06 PM
Med - you were the one who started it all, you know. Well, come to think of it, DAVE was really the one who started it.
How's your Sunday, Lady?
Posted by: DeskDiva | June 10, 2007 at 06:06 PM
I don't think you realize how hard it is to pass the bar. Even with bran flakes and metamucil.
Posted by: first person snake | June 10, 2007 at 06:06 PM
Diva - Sunday cleaning/project day.... pretty blah!
And yours?
Posted by: Meditrina | June 10, 2007 at 06:09 PM
Not bad. Just kinda blurkin' on and off and typing sermons off tape for my church. It's my new service project. I definitely need this joint for comic relief, tho!! You interested in seeing Fiddler at Theatre in the Park tonight? My roomie and I are going. Curtain is 8:30.
Posted by: DeskDiva | June 10, 2007 at 06:12 PM
Lol, snakelady. I'm still working on the four minute crap.
Posted by: Adam | June 10, 2007 at 06:12 PM
At least snakes [i]can[/i] pass a bar. I haven't met a lawyer yet who could!
*ducks and runs*
Posted by: DeskDiva | June 10, 2007 at 06:14 PM
If this was in Montana he might have pulled it out of his Butte. Just saying.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 06:16 PM
S(tevie) W -- by referrin' to Bannister, I'm gonna guess you meant Roger ...
(I'm merely old ... and can remember when he broke the barrier ...)
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | June 10, 2007 at 06:20 PM
"Duck and Run"? Isn't that a bar in Westport?
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 06:20 PM
Mighta been at one time, pete. 'Tain't there now!
Posted by: DeskDiva | June 10, 2007 at 06:22 PM
I thought Bannister broke the Barrister. You know the one trying to pass Roseanne Barr.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 06:25 PM
You can call me cottonmouth, or you can call me water moccasin, but you doesn't has to call me poisonous, as I am not likely to make you ill if you eat me. I promise! (apple, anyone?)
Posted by: Agkistrodon piscivorous | June 10, 2007 at 06:27 PM
Hello DD!

Yes, OtheU. Ring my friend I said you'd call Dr. Roger.

FPS.... Doh!
Posted by: Steve (The 24 Guy) | June 10, 2007 at 06:34 PM
Let's knock it off with the lawyer jokes, OK?
Where's Siouxie when I need her? :)
Posted by: FCDA | June 10, 2007 at 06:35 PM
I hate to interrupt the mindless inanity (oohh! twbagnfarb) But does anone on this blog have any experience with GPS units?
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 06:38 PM
El - you know you are completely exempt from the lawyer jokes..... you are special!
No, really.
REALLY!!!
Posted by: Meditrina | June 10, 2007 at 06:39 PM
Thanks, Diva... but it is raining, and leaving the house would mean I would have to "get dressed." Ugh.
Posted by: Meditrina | June 10, 2007 at 06:41 PM
El, I agree with Med.
Please don't sue us.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 06:43 PM
Geez, Med. If you don't want to get dressed we could come over there.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 06:43 PM
pete - by GPS, do you mean?
Gorgeous Pocket Snake
Gigantic Pocket Snake
Gifted Pocket Snake
Gratuitously Pathetic Snake
Generally Pitiful Snake
OOOoooohhh, this is fun!
Posted by: Meditrina | June 10, 2007 at 06:44 PM
"Please don't sue us."
if she did, it would be a "no class action." No doubt (WWBAGNFARB).
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 06:46 PM
Lol, pete. Med would blush if she realized how visually-oriented we guys are.
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 06:47 PM
pete, I have been up on GPS since the early Trimble units that Buckley tested in 'Racing Through Paradise.'
Watcha need?
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2007 at 06:48 PM
I'm 10 hrs away, but some things are worth the trip.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 06:50 PM
I have an older Garmin, CJ, but it will not measure area. I don't know if I can update the software or if I should just buy another unit. I need it to measure land for ag purposes. I also need to know which company makes the best units for my app. I have only used Garmin in the past.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 06:53 PM
Med, I hate to give away all my secrets.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 06:56 PM
Don't 'get dressed' on our account, I would feel as if I had to go dig undies out of the dryer.
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2007 at 06:56 PM
pssst...pete, whatever you do, don't ask CJ about that dismantled tv in his living room.
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 06:57 PM
CJ - how many times do we have to tell you, get OUT of your neighbor's house and leave their laundry alone!
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 06:58 PM
I have it on good authority that there actually are no lawwyers' jokes...they're ALL true stories...
Posted by: AFKAT | June 10, 2007 at 07:01 PM
Club Med. the antidote for civil gyration.
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 07:02 PM
LMAO @ Annie, pete, and always steview.
Been cleanin' house in my pj's all day, and a trip to the theater would require some major cleaning up.
And a brasiere. Ick!!!
CJ, if you're doing laundry, would you put the next load in for me? Ty.
Posted by: Meditrina | June 10, 2007 at 07:03 PM
I ask CJ a serious question and he's rummaging through Med's drawers.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 07:03 PM
AFKAT - that was lower than my knee...if I had a knee...
Posted by: first person snake | June 10, 2007 at 07:04 PM
Med - CJ can't hear you. He's got some sort of lacy cotton thing stuck over his ears.
Posted by: first person snake | June 10, 2007 at 07:07 PM
Police were not able to locate the snake when they arrived, but say one of the suspects was bitten and had to be treated.
Geez, I hope the snake didn't bite someone too.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 10, 2007 at 07:12 PM
Here's a serious question: Can a propane tank leak? What does liquid propane look and smell like?
There's viscous liquid on the floor of my garage, no smell, color, looks like mineral oil, but the only thing near where the "spill" is would be an extra tank of propane.
Should I light a match and see if it burns?
Posted by: Meditrina | June 10, 2007 at 07:14 PM
I'm not sure if I'm going either. I guess I'll decide around 7:30 or so. My best friend's in the chorus, but if it's rained out, I don't want to be out $12 PLUS the cost of gas to go alllllll the bloody way out there!
Posted by: Eve | June 10, 2007 at 07:15 PM
HELLO, CJ. Gosh, buddy, come up for air once in a while!
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 07:15 PM
Geez - I forgot to change my name again. I feel like a total DOUCHE!!!
Posted by: Summer's Eve | June 10, 2007 at 07:17 PM
Yay! Jennifer told me I don't have to come see her in the show! I'm free for the night! Jammies and free-range ramparts!! WOOHOO!!
Posted by: DeskDiva | June 10, 2007 at 07:18 PM
Med, it isn't propane. It would leak as a vapor and would have a definite odor or the peopl;e who sold it to you would be in serious trouble. In it's liquid state it would evaporate rapidly. I still wouldn't light a match if I were you.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 07:19 PM
Med - I don't think CJ is housebroken. That may be your 'puddle.'
Posted by: first person snake | June 10, 2007 at 07:19 PM
Evenin' all!
Med, propane definitely has a smell to it and I'm pretty sure it wouldn't pool on the floor... if I remember my physics, propane is only liquid while it's in the tank and under pressure.
Posted by: CTProf | June 10, 2007 at 07:20 PM
NO matches, Med! I know you were kidding, but, well, just in case.
Plus, you never know when Mud might be around.
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | June 10, 2007 at 07:21 PM
I've never been real sure about the use of the semi- colon. I'm guessing that was not properly used in my last post.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 07:21 PM
pete, I can't hear you because I'm rummaging through Med's drawers and laundry hamper.
The old Garmin is a basic GPS receiver; a very accurate clock and a telemetry receiver. It receives signals from satellites and calculates how long the signal traveled against its internal clock. That gives it position in three dimensions. Old Garmin has no other internal functions, so you have to hook it up to a computer or PDA that has newer software and performs more functions. I have an Old Garmin output cable (under the tv I took apart, probably) that will link that unit to a serial port, if you want, then you could go get upgrade software from the intertubes.
There's something to be said for making the old piece of equipment (just stop, Annie) work, if all you need is this one application. It may be better to get a newer, smarter device if you see further applications. I'd be happy to send you my old cables and really do know where they are, so let me know....
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2007 at 07:26 PM
ok, after scanning this I have learned that Med is bra-less and cleaning the house in her PJ's, The Duck & Run may or may not be a bar in Westport, the snake from Genesis (no, not Peter Gabriel) is blogging now, and South Carolina must really have tough gun laws if the drunks are carrying snakes instead of fire arms now. And speaking of cottonmouth, I need a drink bartender.
Posted by: Dr.Rickenstien | June 10, 2007 at 07:29 PM
pete - as to a GPS ... I have a teeny bit of experience with them, tho my son has a lot more ... and, we've added the computer dealies in our trucks, which includes a GPS as part of the whole deal ... and we use it daily ... there's some fairly neat software out there fer almost exactly whut you describe, despite the fact that it's on a PC (Panasonic Toughbook) ... HOWever, with a MacBook, you could run that software, I'm sure ...
Only thing I'd say about Garmin™ in general is that I'm not quite satisfied that it's the best stuff out there ... depends a bit on how much $ y'all wanna/needta spend ...
Then it depends upon whose mapping software you can pick up ... I dunno whut ours costs, but it's prolly a bit pricey ... we drive along, and when we flip a switch, (with all the preprogrammed data already entered) it sums it up at the end of the project ... how many acres, "painted" lines on where we went, and such ... which can then be downloaded to a master computer that will print out maps & such ... cool, really, but all we care about is the paperwork it saves us, since all our reports are also on the 'puter ...
If NE of this interest y'all, you could email me & I'll stop borin' the others with TMI ...
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | June 10, 2007 at 07:33 PM
Thanks CJ, that would be great.
Posted by: pete | June 10, 2007 at 07:34 PM
Hmm maybe I should have scanned a bit better.
*Gets Rick a drink*
Posted by: CTProf | June 10, 2007 at 07:34 PM
Thanks Prof! By the way, where did all the free-range ramparts run off to? Gotta get better fencing put up around the ol' blogstead I guess!

So, we'll email. To follow on OtU's post, it depends entirely upon what else you may want to achieve. Rarely doing a similar chore, maybe keep the old Garmin in service. Future and expanded needs, move on to a more adaptable receiver, something that can be upgraded....
Posted by: CJrun | June 10, 2007 at 07:41 PM
Please don't upgrade the Garmin.
Posted by: SW | June 10, 2007 at 07:41 PM
I don't see why you boys need some newfangled electric gadget to turn basic angles for acreage. It's basic land surveying. Quien es mas macho?
Posted by: Annie Where-but-here | June 10, 2007 at 07:44 PM
Looks like Med's making sure no one wants to leave. :)
Posted by: CTProf | June 10, 2007 at 07:45 PM
*snork* @ Stevie Whipple. But that is not helpful.

Posted by: first person snake | 07:04 PM on June 10, 2007"
Awww..sorry Annie...30 yrs as a cop gives one a jaded (warped) perspective. Actually, I have a lot of good friends who are lawyers & judges. I just like to tease them for obvious reasons.
On another topic...being here on the wet coast, We are 3 hours away from the Soprano's finale...my guess...Tony's getting whacked...any other viewpoints?
Posted by: AFKAT | June 10, 2007 at 07:59 PM
Tony realizes at the end he is at a crossroads while staring over a seaside cliff...then tosses the "24" writers over the cliff for having somehow weaseled their way into the Sopranos finale!
Posted by: Dr.Rickenstien | June 10, 2007 at 08:04 PM
LOL Dr.....that's rich.
Posted by: AFKAT | June 10, 2007 at 08:07 PM
I was on the way home from work and two guys on the radio were speculating on it. One of them figured Tony winds up in witness protection as he will probably be alone by the end of the show. 1st thing I thought of was that he was standing at the edge of the cliff and pondering whether to turn rat or jump. DAMN YOU 24 writers! Get the Hell out of my head already!
Posted by: Dr.Rickenstien | June 10, 2007 at 08:11 PM
But....did Tony set up a perimeter before he tosses the writers off the cliff???
Posted by: AFKAT | June 10, 2007 at 08:13 PM
LOL too funny Rick.
I never got to watch the show.. when it first started I was working nights and was too lazy to tape it. After that I just forgot about it.
Posted by: CTProf | June 10, 2007 at 08:14 PM
