Ladies and Gentlemen, Walter is going to be a granddad! His daughter is expecting, and he is, of course, over the moon. In fact, he is in one of his "eat well" episodes. He comes here every day, and loves to drink thyme tea that my wife makes for him. He refuses to have sugar in it, as sugar is "bad for you" he says. So he refuses to have a spoon of sugar in a cup of tea, but would gladly eat a pound of chocolate cake! When I brought this up to his attention, he had one of his brain storms, and wrote on top of the cake NS with his fingers! When I asked im what that meant, he said "it means NO SUGAR, so I can eat the cake without feeling guilty" The other day he called, to ask directions to a pharmacy that specializes in health suppliments. The place is in the middle of town, and quite difficult to get to because of traffic from where we live. I was going to that part of town the next day, so I asked him what he wanted, and I would get it for him. He said "Anything that will make me live longer and survive all the nasty things you do to me" The next day I went to the pharmacy, and explained to the young lady there that I had a friend, who is 62, had a quadruple heart by-pass, and is about to become a grandad, and wanted to enjoy a few more years with his family. She made me a collection of all sorts of things for him to take, including a pack of 5 vials of liquid he was supposed to get injected into him once a week! I took all this in a bag, and left it in the workshop for him. He called lunch time, and said he is going out with his daughter in the afternoon, so he wasn't going to come over as usual. I told him I bought him his suppliments, so he decided to drive over straight away and pick it up. When he came I was out in the backyard with some workers doing some work on our cheetah enclosures. Anyway, he came and took all his stuff, and went home. The next morning, he called "Thank you very much for my medicines. I am going to be young again, and you and Roy will have a hard time keeping up with me in Tanzania this year. I started taking them last night, and I already feel better" Me "You need to go to the clinic and have those injections once a week" Walter "What injections? I don't need any injections. I told you, I already feel muc better after taking those medicines you brought me" Me "That is great, but, you will find 5 small glass ampules, these are to be injected once a week" Walter, laughing "Ha ha ha! You are so funny. I already DRANK one of those ampules! You never said they were injections! I have made a great discovery! People who are scared of injections would be glad to know that injection medicines can be drunk! Ha ha ha" I called a doctor friend of mine and told him what had happened. He said "Amazing! Why am I not surprised this had appened to Walter? Tell him he will be fine, but he cannot take a shortcut, he has to have the others injected into him" Me "You know he is scared of doctors" Doctor "Then you can give him the injections" Me "That will be the day he lets me poke him with a needle" | ||

The upside of having a friend like Walter is that life will most likely never be dull! | |||

Call me a cynic, but I have to believe that mounds of chocolate cake are not recommended for men who have had quadruple bypass surgery. I suppose it would be futile explaining to Walter that some remedies are required to be injected because the combination of stomach acids and the rate of intestinal absorbtion work to reduce any beneficial effects. Perhaps you can tell him it is a chocolate cake injection? SCI Life Member DSC Life Member | |||

Saeed, Tell Walter that all he has to do is slightly cut back on the bad things because you see... All the bad things he has done to his body is like training and exercise, his body is so tough now that even the slightest easing of abuse will make him live much longer. Tell him it's like drinking too much beer. The Excess alcohol kills brain cells. We only use about 10% of our brain. Therefore, when we drink too much beer; the weak brain cells die first. Formula: Drink beer makes you smarter Just tell Walter the same applies to his general health. I am sure he will understand perfectly. Mike Legistine actu? Quid scripsi? Never under estimate the internet community's ability to reply to your post with their personal rant about their tangentially related, single occurrence issue.  What I have learned on AR, since 2001: 1. The proper answer to: Where is the best place in town to get a steak dinner? is…You should go to Mel's Diner and get the fried chicken. 2. Big game animals can tell the difference between .015 of an inch in diameter, 15 grains of bullet weight, and 150 fps. 3. There is a difference in the performance of two identical projectiles launched at the same velocity if they came from different cartridges. 4. While a double rifle is the perfect DGR, every 375HH bolt gun needs to be modified to carry at least 5 down. 5. While a floor plate and detachable box magazine both use a mechanical latch, only the floor plate latch is reliable. Disregard the fact that every modern military rifle uses a detachable box magazine. 6. The Remington 700 is unreliable regardless of the fact it is the basis of the USMC M40 sniper rifle for 40+ years with no changes to the receiver or extractor and is the choice of more military and law enforcement sniper units than any other rifle. 7. PF actions are not suitable for a DGR and it is irrelevant that the M1, M14, M16, & AK47 which were designed for hunting men that can shoot back are all PF actions. 8. 95 deg F in Africa is different than 95 deg F in TX or CA and that is why you must worry about ammunition temperature in Africa (even though most safaris take place in winter) but not in TX or in CA. 9. The size of a ding in a gun's finish doesn't matter, what matters is whether it’s a safe ding or not. 10. 1 in a row is a trend, 2 in a row is statistically significant, and 3 in a row is an irrefutable fact. 11. Never buy a WSM or RCM cartridge for a safari rifle or your go to rifle in the USA because if they lose your ammo you can't find replacement ammo but don't worry 280 Rem, 338-06, 35 Whelen, and all Weatherby cartridges abound in Africa and back country stores. 12. A well hit animal can run 75 yds. in the open and suddenly drop with no initial blood trail, but the one I shot from 200 yds. away that ran 10 yds. and disappeared into a thicket and was not found was lost because the bullet penciled thru. I am 100% certain of this even though I have no physical evidence. 13. A 300 Win Mag is a 500 yard elk cartridge but a 308 Win is not a 300 yard elk cartridge even though the same bullet is travelling at the same velocity at those respective distances. | |||

Saeed it wouldn't be hard for you to give Walter the injections. Just get you a tranquilizer gun and fill it up with the medicine and the once a week you get to have a green hunt for a Walterhog. Just leave a plate of cake and a cup of tea and set yourself up a blind. He will never see it coming.  | |||

Darting Walter! Of course! And Saeed could offer members here Walter darting excursions to compensate for the cost of the meds. I believe the level of interest would be high. Saeed, any idea what you would charge for a "Walter Safari"? SCI Life Member DSC Life Member | |||

Hey Frankie, Since you and I are so close I wonder if you would let me practice on you, to get ready for my Walterhog Safari???? Chris PS: Bring back my key!!! | |||

Now there is a safari you could make a mint on...Charging AR members to fly over and shoot an injection into Walter with a dart gun. Chocolate cake can be used as bait of course...I can see the money rolling in off of the video sales now. Brian "If you can't go all out, don't go..." | |||

Anti aging injectable medicine that comes in ampuoles?? He isn't by any chance taking a little testosterone is he?? Have you considered the repercussions of a thoroughly "juiced" up Walter running amok?? The main vice of capitalism is the uneven distribution of prosperity.

Considering that one old pic of Walter, while on safari, in the ladies lounging pj's, I would be very concerned if the ampules testosterone! .395 Family Member DRSS, po' boy member Political correctness is nothing but liberal enforced censorship | |||

Darting Walter would be much cheaper than darting a rhino. And, I might add, more fun! Let's see. . . .how many dart hunts could we get out of him before he just had to be shot?  Saeed: Perhaps you could be the first to dart Walter and show us what the hunt would be like?  (pics please) | |||

I think we need a photo depicting the glee of the expectant extended family: Walter, Mrs. Walter, Saeed, Mrs. Saeed, Hessa who now gets to be an unoffical older Sister, Walter's Daughter, and the Expectant Father.
