I was finally shoveling some snow in my back yard after we had several weeks of snow and near zero
weather. I found a frozen cat in the snow near the drip line from my roof. I guess he got squashed by a lump of snow or ice that shed from my steep roof. I have a neighbor that has a cat lover for a wife and he is an archery hunter of sorts. I took the cat into my garage and applied heat from a heat gun in the cat's midsection until he was partially thawed there. I then took one of my neighbors custom arrows that had landed in my yard last fall and stuck it into the cat. That night I dropped the cat over the fence into the neighbors' yard in his wife's prize rose bushes. Next morning around 10 AM I hear this bloodchilling scream next door. The wife was puttering around in her yard and found the cat with one of her husbands custom arrows in it. That evening when he got home from work I could hear her screaming and cussing at him for killing a cat. Nothing he could say would calm her down. I don't think he got any for a month.

Don't get me wrong, I have no beef with archery hunters, but I don't like ones that publically say that rifle
hunting should be outlawed. That turns him from an archer into a stick flicking forest fairy.

Just another variety of the raving eletist clan. I saw that malady starting in jimmy carter's administration with public lands use changes to the effect if you were not 25 and able to hump a ruck into the wilderness the experience was forbidden to you. I hope you have another arrow saved for the next chance at payback.

I've never heard that phrase before. SFFF, or in scientific notation: SF^3. I...got up off the floor, and have dried my eyes, regained my dignity, and had the missus cancel the call for an ambulance. Reading your story again...she offered Prozac but I declined. OEH, remind me to NOT piss you off...if ever I should forget. Truly, you are a master of literary presentation, a visionary and potential candidate for the White House in '08.

Sir, I stand before you, humble, and prepared to do your bidding....

Digtal Dan,

Thank you for your support. I wouldn't mind running in '08 if Hilary is the front runner.
I would be right behing her and a I bet the race is over before I shift out of second gear...


Do you have any Democrat-remover. I expect that it will hard to remove all that lying crap that would get entangled in my winch cable. I would have to keep the winch useable in case some Democrat needed help pulling his head out of his ass.

Democrat remover...it falls withing reasonable job description I suppose.

What's that old saying? Oh ya:
I don't care who ya are, that's funny!! Yes sir, that's funny!!

That dripping sound you hear is me drooling over the picture of that rifle.

Digital Dan,

I'd swear that rifle looks more like a Yankee
remover. We could have used that to defend Richmond!

I suspect Gen. Lee would have found use for it, somewhere on the high ground no doubt.

I have to doff my hat to OEH--that is a class act and I wouldn't dare try to top it. Too bad my cat-loving neighbors (4 of them) aren't archers. Come to think of it though, one is a carpenter-maybe a crat and a table saw? One is a dentist--maybe a root canal, say a .17" one?

Dustoffer,

I would suggest a nail gun for the carpenter's cat and nitros oxide for the dentist's cat. You can get NOS
at any speed shop. Or just borrow a bottle if the Speed shop owner doesn't like cats.

Never quit thinking of ways to unobtrusively get rid of cats or piss off their owners. It takes the boredom
out of life.

Very deep, I'm Humbled.

OEH
We do tend to refer to them as stick flickers---But---you Sir have put it exactly right!
