"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.

It being Sumter, you can't sling a dead cat without hitting a moccasin....

Say, are you just happy to see me or is that a poisonous cottonmouth water moccasin in your. . . Ow!

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.

This gives a whole new meaning to concealed carry laws.

***SNORK***

Annie - get to writin', Girl!!!

Lost H3ll, it's just half-time lady....

He pulled it out of the air - see, in Sumter, snakes can fly. Or that's what I heard. Somewhere.

Ah, CJ. Ever the Southern boy.

Lost H3ll, it's just half-time lady....

times 2, CJ. ;)

*snork* @ cotton mouth trouser snake!

(ok, is this never going to post, then double-post? probably)

He probably put on the Wrong Trousers.

I walked into a bar with cotton trousers but I forgot to zip up...the bartender said, "Why the long snake?"

*snork snake* at stevie for messing with my favorite joke.

EXCELLENT jokeage Stevie! Especially considering the first person narrative. ;-)

Clarification - I was laughing at Stevie's joke, not his first person snake.

Purely unintentional, aw. If you give a pig a teat, will it eat? if you give a pig a nipple, will it tipple?

Thank you for clarifying, aw. But it never entered my mind that you would.

First person snake? Isn't that the critter who said, "Come on, Adam - just one bite."

I was framed. Adam's a liar.

I'm just glad you've forgotten MY part in the whole fiasco!

*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!

Bar! You know.... Rosanne!

....Wait. That's Barr.

Oh, I get it. Don't all snakes lawyers have to pass the bar? That's what happened.

You ladies still don't fully appreciate what we guys will put up with go through for that one sweet mouthful.

Oh, yes. Yes, we do. Don't forget what WE have to go through for the same thing.... ;-)

Ty, cj. Funny story! Those big ballz can get in the way sliding down the Bannister, though.

trouser snakes and tits..... doesn't take shlong much around here.

*stink-eye* and two demerits to Steve/24 for his anachronistic snake/lawyer joke.

We sssnakes have ssscruples too.

I walked into a bar, and the bartender says, "Nice asp."

*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.

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?

I don't think you realize how hard it is to pass the bar. Even with bran flakes and metamucil.

Diva - Sunday cleaning/project day.... pretty blah!

And yours?

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.

Lol, snakelady. I'm still working on the four minute crap.

At least snakes [i]can[/i] pass a bar. I haven't met a lawyer yet who could!

*ducks and runs*

If this was in Montana he might have pulled it out of his Butte. Just saying.

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 ...)

"Duck and Run"? Isn't that a bar in Westport?

Mighta been at one time, pete. 'Tain't there now!

I thought Bannister broke the Barrister. You know the one trying to pass Roseanne Barr.

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?)

Hello DD!

Hiya pete!

*eats AP's apple*

CRUNCH!!

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

FPS.... Doh!

Let's knock it off with the lawyer jokes, OK?
Where's Siouxie when I need her? :)

I hate to interrupt the mindless inanity (oohh! twbagnfarb) But does anone on this blog have any experience with GPS units?

El - you know you are completely exempt from the lawyer jokes..... you are special!

No, really.

REALLY!!!

Thanks, Diva... but it is raining, and leaving the house would mean I would have to "get dressed." Ugh.

El, I agree with Med.

Please don't sue us.

Geez, Med. If you don't want to get dressed we could come over there.

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!

"Please don't sue us."

if she did, it would be a "no class action." No doubt (WWBAGNFARB).

Lol, pete. Med would blush if she realized how visually-oriented we guys are.

pete, I have been up on GPS since the early Trimble units that Buckley tested in 'Racing Through Paradise.'

Watcha need?

I'm 10 hrs away, but some things are worth the trip.

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.

Med, I hate to give away all my secrets.

Don't 'get dressed' on our account, I would feel as if I had to go dig undies out of the dryer.

pssst...pete, whatever you do, don't ask CJ about that dismantled tv in his living room.

CJ - how many times do we have to tell you, get OUT of your neighbor's house and leave their laundry alone!

I have it on good authority that there actually are no lawwyers' jokes...they're ALL true stories...

Club Med. the antidote for civil gyration.

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.

I ask CJ a serious question and he's rummaging through Med's drawers.

AFKAT - that was lower than my knee...if I had a knee...

Med - CJ can't hear you. He's got some sort of lacy cotton thing stuck over his ears.

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.

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?

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!

HELLO, CJ. Gosh, buddy, come up for air once in a while!

Geez - I forgot to change my name again. I feel like a total DOUCHE!!!

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!!

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.

Med - I don't think CJ is housebroken. That may be your 'puddle.'

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.

NO matches, Med! I know you were kidding, but, well, just in case.

Plus, you never know when Mud might be around.

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.

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....

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.

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 ...

Thanks CJ, that would be great.

Hmm maybe I should have scanned a bit better.

*Gets Rick a drink*

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!

*double stocks blog bar and gumballs, adds chlorine to hot tub, checks the juke box and hunkers down for a long flight night*

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....

Please don't upgrade the Garmin.

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?

Looks like Med's making sure no one wants to leave. :)

*snork* @ Stevie Whipple. But that is not helpful.

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?

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!

LOL Dr.....that's rich.

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!

But....did Tony set up a perimeter before he tosses the writers off the cliff???

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.
