Thunderbird Club

[dagrev]

I'd carry a small shotgun or large revolver (loaded with shot in at least three chambers). When we lived in the boonies out here, we didn't go far on the property without a rifle. Coyotes, bobcats, the occasional cougar, and large, aggressive dogs[1] were always possibilities, never mind poisonous snakes, rabid smaller animals, etc. Never had to shoot anything, but neighbors occasionally had to. I did have to scare a vicious dog off once by shooting at the ground near it. It had attacked our daughter and the neighbors were sloppy about chaining him up. They thought I was shooting *at* the dog (it was tempting, but that particular day he was just trespassing), and kept him on their property after that.

[1] A neighbor (sheriff's deputy) caught those dogs rampaging through his herd of goats. After he shot them (the dogs), he took photographs of everything, then hauled the dogs in his pickup to their owners' house, put them on the porch, and rang their doorbell. (They had been warned, as the dogs had gotten out and attacked people, pets, and livestock before.) He made it clear that they had (some number of) days to pay damages or he'd have them arrested and sue them to boot. They paid up and upped their fence game before getting more dogs. Sad.

Dogs are like Thunderbirds. Most people don't need and have no business having one.

Guess i should have warned everybody, but why?

I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but you might want to rethink that. I'm not sure you'd have access to TB from whatever place you end up if caught.

 

[PillO]

Oh crap. I have a hard enough time catching up every day. Pain meds + spare time = a lost cause. Maybe he will loosen up while on meds and cultivate a sense of humor.

No. I will remain the humourless curmudgeon you all know and tolerate.

Well, some of my ideas have already been invented

You have taken too much or not enough meds. I keep hoping you will forget you have this one. Just when I unsee it....there we have it again.

Oh man, @PillO's recovery is gonna be super classic!

Yeah, this outta be good. Going to have to work on saving screenshots.

yeah, you can get a more authentic reaction...

LOL - Que up the David Attenborough narration voice...
"And here we have an elusive wild Thunderbird. Rarely are they ever seen in the wild like this. Most have been domesticated but still retain a good deal of their wild nature. Occasionally you'll spot them in driveways or garages but these days most are seen indoors near the mate they have chosen to make music with."

And on occasion have been seen stalking Subaru's in the NW.

Thinking about switching pickguards, any opinions?

The Lull Bird's pearloid is looking great, I wouldn't change that. I'd go for tort on the butterscotch bass. But that's moi.

Meds kicking in and feeling no pain, eh ?

Ask for the rabbit hole, and ye shall get.

Might as well try it. If you don't like it you can easily switch them back to original.

 

[Glenn Johnson]

Hmmm. Maybe I need to invent the cucumber slide whistle.

That's the drugs talking? Nah, just regular you! Mend quickly brother!

 

[Glenn Johnson]

Hey PillO, you wouldn't happen to be Gallagher by any chance? Just wondering and all.

 

[Glenn Johnson]

I think we'll all need six weeks of narcotics to deal with these posts!

I'm going to cram 6 weeks worth into 6 days

There is NO unseeing that one. . .

You could call it a Lewenski!

 

[GonePlaid]

I hate, hate, snakes.
Only good for boots and belts.

I like 'em. 'Cept the venomous ones*-and I know which is which.

* and the big@$$ pythons in the 'glades.

I liked them for guitar. No idea on bass.
