there are not many cats in my corner of the woods.
From the sound of things, several of my neighbors are sighting in their christmas presents.
I think there may be a connection.

I hear the same music...apparently it made an impression as I notice Birman's "suicide" post is gone. Who will own up to bagging the little twit?

Birman was crying outside my window all night. I just had to bag the little beast.

After all, this is a hunting forum no?

Don

Wouldn't it be strange if all ferals were named "birman" and we could all take credit?

Yes it is .
Good job

IMO there are a lot of closet cat haters out there .
Most will gladly pop a cat and think nothing of it .
They are just not as forward in admitting it .
They claim to be sighting in a rifle .

I sighted in one today

Johnch

My Gawd Don! A city fella like you bagged Birman? Geez, next thing ya know cat and dogs will be... well, better not, don't want to embarrass the missus.. Damn, I am impressed! After all these years... Don snipes the little runt! Ya got pictures?

I do have pics Dan, but I'm afraid the rules of the board do not permit such horrible postings.

Too bad too, I butchered him with a 45-70 and there wasn't much left...just scraps.

The bullet was so powerful took out another pesky li'l critter too that was on top of ol Birman having its way. BUT, that's a story for another time.

Don

Uhhh Don, we get pictures of shredded animal carcasses all the time!

I checked the forum last night but got interrupted...when I checked back today to read up on all the fuss the dang posts were gone! Something about Birman, troll alter egos, and Don threatening Birman/Birman's alter ego (he who shall not be named). It was just getting interesting too!

The God Squad thread was moved to DG Pictures.
Not sure why....

Because of some comments made "about" the administrators of this site.

We like to keep these things so when people later say they wrote no such thing we have it on file.

Don

Well, I guess I can see that.
What I can't see is the thread I started that was available an hour or so earlier.

Wouldn't locking the thread serve the same purpose?

That thread too had some comments made on it.

The comments made had nothing to do with hunting small game.

While off topic comments are made all the time, ad hominum attacks have no place here.

Especially ones so off the wall as those.

I trust you understand my actions.

Don

Well, that's why I was going to revue the whole thread. I assume you know that certain characters in that dialogue are more "fictious" than others.
But.... It's your forum.
I'll play by your rules.

Hell, not only a stump, but right through the ol' family pickup, the trailer attached and two oak trees.

An 18 wheeler filled with coal mighta been passing by too, there was black dust on the road.



Don

Don, aren't you up around Boston area?

Where are you gonna find a tree up there? Let alone two trees?

There are two trees in Mass. The Tree of Virtue, which grows near Chappaquidick(sp?), and has been groomed to resemble their beloved Ted Kennedy. Out on Cape Cod as I recall is found the infamous Heinz/War Criminal tree. It oozes Ketchup and has three abberations resembling hearts(oddly enough, colored purple) about 5' up the trunk. Facing north of course. 'Tis a mystical land, filled with treachery, deceit, and very large holes in the principle city known as Boston. Or Bean Town to some. I cannot imagine why Birman went up that way.

Oh Dan, you do have a way with words. Has a politician ever approached you to be their speechwriter?

I've been up in Boston, or is that "Baustun", a few times. Walked that little red-brick path through the city, and saw where the Declaration of Independance was written. I took the time to visit the Mass. Grand Lodge F&AM while I was up there. It was late, but the Mass. GSecretary showed me around. It was a beautiful grand lodge hall. I also stopped by a Scottish Rite meeting over in Worchester. Some great folks up that way IMO, and they know how to feed their guests The meal at the Worchester hall was great that night.

I have some friends in Beverly and they took me out to the North End for some great Italian at a little "family" run establishment. (Or so they told me, the food was great regardless).

They took me to see the Holocaust memorial. That was a very sombering moment reading through that thing.

Boston is one of the great cities in the world. Very few cats I might add. (I can't go into that I'm afraid).

AND yes, we have trees.

I am fairly convinced that the trees in Boston are not the problem there.

... great cities in the world ...

I really liked the city. However, when my first trip to Boston was a delayed red-eye, that finally landed at Logan at 3:30am in early January back around 98/99 timeframe.

...

and I grab a rental car, and start driving out into the snow and ice, and run right slap into the big dig there at Logan, and get diverted out from some tunnel onto unpaved side-roads, while I'm trying to find the Mass. Pike for the drive to Worchester, and get lost.

Meanwhile there's snow and ice on the ground, which this South Alabama redneck doesn't have ANY business driving in, and there's fog and haze.

Yeah, I had some choice words for my first impressions of Boston that night

Luckily my 2nd trip in was escorted, and it was MUCH nicer.

delayed red-eye

Ben, I know what you mean by that. Happened to me about 3 months after I got married the first time. Wasn't total loss as I got to watch/participate in the invention of crat bungee jumping...and later Southern Shyster Jumping. Unfortunately that was not exercised from a high bridge or building...it might have been the thought that counted there...

Of course you are Don, except in the Crater.

BTW, you have any crat tails, er, tales? And about that .45-70, some will say it isn't a DGR cartridge, but I know better. Will work 99% of the time on crats. Do you use black or smokeless? Underpowder wad? You tried any of those NASA Zepplins yet? Paper patch? Somebody told me once that if you patch with TP and place the shot right you can gut 'em and wipe their ass with the same shot? Is that what you did to Birman? Soule sights? Badger barrel I hope...Details man! Details!

All threads I could see from DIH, Birman, XO, DL, et. al are GONE...as in outta here.

Isn't this a form of censorship? I thought that wasn't done here. And if Birman was so objectionable, why does the Ignorance Crater still exist,or at least some of the dweebs that post there. derf

Let's just say one IP address was iradicated and it took out a whole load of small critters.

By the way, the threads are not deleted, they are moved to a moderator forum where they are on display for all admins to cherish.

What started the hunt was a tirade of four letter words directed at the owners of this site.

Many of you read the comments before they were moved. Saeed and I don't spend time and money to provide you with this forum for this.

Don

That really stinks. I didn't see the thread, but geesh, if you're a guest in someone's home, behave as such.

Same apply's to someone's website IMO.

That's something I try to teach my child (soon kids ), by the time he was 3 or 4.

Crats can't be 'guests'. They can be obnoxious, rude, condescending and domineering. They can also be the main course for dinner.

http://www.GulfCoast.Appetizers

HHmmmm,Only one IP address eh, now we have to figure out who that was!! derf

Perhaps that birman set up an alter ego to play on as all other posters were definitely not in his (its) fan club? Like an immature child with a good guy in one hand and a bad guy in the other speaking in succession for each. I recall suggesting to it that the "f" word was not neccessary very often as the language had many others suitable to convey thought even better. I am sure "maimed quair nymph" is a richer term here than **** will ever be.

I tend to agree, but find its usage far more common these days than in the past...as per ususal it can be used in the form of humor and in crude assault. "Maimed Quair Nymph" does have a certain ring though...

It is with substantial grief I post the departure of 120mm as well. In the midst of the Birman Caper it seems he got swept up and cast out with the rest of the debris. Having enough tolerance to co-exist on the planet with Pat Robertson AND Howard Stern, neither of which have contributed a single thing of intrinsic value to mankind....I am mindful that life is uncertain...and IED's dispense schrapnel which injure innocent bystanders.

Don, if you perchance read this I would humbly ask that 120mm be reinstated...anything he may have said here pales in comparison to the vile personal attacks routine and tolerated in the Crater. The APPEARANCE of a double standard serves no good purpose.

Indeed. As a lightweight inducement, I'll just stop my popular new postings about thrilling new weapons of cat destruction, cat recipes for the afficionados, tributes to the administrators, and welcomes to newcomers. I'll start promoting the economic benefits of safaris for dictators and tyrannical governments in Africa instead. Anybody else got a tin cup to clap on the pixels? FREE 120!!!!!!!!!!!Hey-Hey, HO_HO, Administrative decimation Has got to GO!!!!

Well, not long before I retired I got my fanny spanked for using the F-bomb at work in the midst of battle, and in the presence of an evaluator from Washington... Pretty boy he was too, some of the Gay Blades in the area I worked were having some graphic fantasies about him...he never knew...

So, it goes thru the process of administrative sanctification, I won't bore you with all the intermediate events, funny as they were...perhaps I will someday... Suffice it to say I began taking notes, building my defense...all for naught as the outcome was ordained from the get-go... When it came down to that, I fired my last salvo in a letter address to the FAA Administrator thru chain of command......something they could not fail to forward. Here it is...I hope you can understand what is transpiring here as it would normally help to live within the puzzle palace to understand it...

L.O.R. Decision


Mario Bosque
Central Area Operations Supervisor
JAX ARTCC
Hilliard , Fl.

Mr. Bosque,

I am profoundly disappointed with the affirmation of your Letter of Reprimand per your
letter dated 4-30-03. This issue will ultimately be settled by arbitration IAW the
Collective Bargaining Agreement as outlined in the second paragraph of your letter, and
barring success in that arena, in court.

Although I do not wish to sound repetitive I must restate my request for information
contained in my letter of response to your proposed action, dated 4-14-03, that being a list
of proscribed language or verbiage that is prohibited in the workplace. You threaten me
with termination in your Letter of Reprimand yet are coy in regards to what language is
acceptable in the workplace. If you refuse to respond as requested please have the
professional courtesy to respond in the negative. Some framework definition is required
in this matter, and to date the silence has been deafening.

I will take this occasion to address another aspect of my letter that needs amending even
though it may be too late. I was interrogated by Ms. Gettig regarding my use of THE
WORDS, and later signed acknowledgment of the transcript of that event. My mind was
in such turmoil at that juncture that I overlooked a not inconsequential aspect of the text
and my admission. The spelling used in the text was “F--- Youâ€, and being no stranger
to phonics I overlooked the fact that my words were in fact spelled “Ph--- Youâ€. They
sound the same. The origins of this phrase precede us by many centuries and in fact has
evolved through many changes since the original “Plucking the Yewâ€*. This is probably
beyond allowable time frames for this process, but I felt compelled to set the record
straight nonetheless.

In addition I must expand on my reference to the Athol intersection in ZMA airspace.
Well, I have subsequently discovered a plethora of such intersections on the ERIDS
system and other FAA sources. I feel compelled to acknowledge my total lack of
understanding on the subject of propriety concerning intersection names. As these names
are in the NAS data base I am left with little choice but to assume they are indeed
acceptable verbiage in the workplace, and as it appears that context is irrelevant I will feel
free to use them as deemed appropriate. I will list them for you for the record with the
state of location in closed parenthesis. Before I start however, I just want you to know
that I consider this entire thing FUBAR(AZ). Did you know that COLIN(VA) is right
next door to NUTTS(VA)? COLLN(CO) isn’t. At least LOINS(IA) is separated from
BEAVR(TX) by BUTCH(OK). What a relief! But it gets worse, sorry. Do you think
there is a hidden meaning in the placement of BUSSH(TN) just across the border from
NUDEE(NC) and SLITT(NC)? You probably know that DIKEE(AK) is a long way from
there but it’s in the same place as NAKED(AK), geographically speaking. If I lived on
the east coast I might be concerned about my neighbors with DICKE(NJ) and LICKK(NJ)
on their mind. There is some symmetry however in that JUGGS(ID) is several time zones
separated from RACKE(FL) and CRACK(AK). Is this just another SNAFU(NJ)? What
kind of ATHOL(FL) allowed this to happen? BABEE(NY) and BABBE(MI) are
probably not the same, just as COLON(SC) and GASHE(OR) are different. Some people
like to SWALO(MA), some shake their BOOTY(WI), some think MUFFE(FL) is
SEXXY(IL), and out west we have DIVER(TX) and DIVVR(TX), but maybe they are of
different persuasion. The message from the heartland is not ambiguous however since
they prefer COOCH(NB).

You may think that would conclude the list of intersections that detail various body parts
or have graphic reference to sex. DONYA(MI) bet your BOOTE(IN) on it BAABE(OH).
I’m just getting warmed up on this FAKKR(CA). I want you to understand by the way,
I’m not giving you the FINGR(TX) in a metaphorical sense. Just trying to define what is
acceptable. If you find that my methodology does not AMUZE(AL) you, remember that I
asked for your guidance on three prior occasions. Well, on with the show. No thought
or association is intended by the order of presentation:
BAABY(MD) HONEE(TX) LUVVE(CA) BUSTS(TX) BUXOM(OR) CUTEY(IL)
DROOL(MI) FEELY(NC) LOVER(NM) CODDS(WA) DONGS(FL) LUNGS(WI)
FLUZE(NM) BODYS(OH) BLOWN(PA) LONGG(OK) HUMPP(WA) RACKK(IL)
SLEEZ(CA) QUIKY(PA) HUMMR(AZ) RACKS(NM) ANNAS(VA)

Tell me this is one big FOPAW(OK), please. It makes me want to consider getting
DRUNK(MA) with some HOOCH(PA) or BEERS(PA), or high on GANJA(TX) or
WEEDD(CA) or GRASS(WI) or JUNKE(KS). Is this how one becomes a JUNKI(VA)?
Before I get back to the sexual innuendo I want to share some ethnic slang with you. It
seems to be very diverse so maybe it’s okay. Must be since it’s been blessed by
Washington. CAJIN(VA) CAJUN(FL) CANUK(GA) DINKS(VA) SLANT(TX) and
COONS(AZ). Seems like a CROCK(MO) of CHITT(VT) to me. Unless you’re a
PUTTZ(MS) you’d have to agree. What a DOOZI(AK) of a mess this is. It makes me
feel a bit like Donald Duck; You know, the part about not giving a QUACK(AK). That
by the way is a derivative of PH---, which is derived from F---, a further derivation of
PLUCK(OK) which originated from the 1400’s according to my source. Funny how
PLUCK(OK) and PH--- are five letter words. I wonder why the latter didn’t make the
list.

Other insensitive verbiage, perhaps better left off the airwaves: CREEP(OH)
DAAME(RI) FATTI(VA) FATTS(TN) FATTY(FL) FLABB(TN) HONIE(GA)
HONNY(NE) NERDE(ND) UGLEE(FL); And while I’m at it, don’t be a MORON(CA)
and try to convince me that this GUANO(FL) is okay. It is not.

Well now, its time to get back to the world of innuendo. This isn’t about who has the
LONGER(AL) WILLY(VA), nor does it matter if your BABYS(TX) looking for a
BUBEE(IA) NOOGY(CA). I’m not going to get into SLITZ(MO), COLNZ(IA),
CRAPS(NV) even as I try to keep this out of the BENJO(MI). With that thought in mind
there is little purpose in discussing FISTR(CO). Such is life on planet EARTH(FL).

I know you think my attitude is “FIGMOâ€(TX), but the bottom line is that I think I’m
getting the SHAFT(CO), and a CHITI(OK) deal as well. The really bad news is that I
didn’t use half of the named intersections available in this dissertation(?). The PC Police
could have a ball here, don’t you agree?

You might reasonably conclude that to some degree I have written this tongue-in-cheek,
and such assumption would be correct in the main. Do not be lulled into ignoring the
second paragraph of this letter. I’m not smiling that much.

* Before the Battle of Agincourt in 1415, the French, anticipating victory over the British,
proposed to cut off the middle finger of all captured English soldiers. Without the middle
finger it would be impossible to draw the renowned English longbow and therefore they
would be incapable of fighting in the future. The longbow was made of the native Yew
tree, and the act of drawing the longbow was known as “plucking the yew†(or “pluck
yewâ€).
Much to the bewilderment of the French, the English won a major upset and began
mocking the French by waving their middle fingers at them, saying “See, we can still
pluck yew! PLUCK YEW!â€
Since ‘pluck yew’ is difficult to say, the difficult consonant cluster at the beginning
gradually changed to a labiodental fricative “Fâ€, and thus THE WORDS often used in
conjunction with the one fingered salute are mistakenly thought to have something to do
with an intimate encounter. It is also because of the pheasant feathers on the arrows used
with the longbow that the symbolic gesture is known as “giving the birdâ€.
