I read that as "It's only 80 degrees on the golf course but". I really need to get out golfing.

17 Y'know what really pisses me off about Planned Parenthood?  When my wife and I found out she was pregnant, we did not have health insurance (she recently switched jobs and we were in the 30 day window without coverage).  She called Planned Parenthood here in Florida and asked if she could get a prenatal screening.  They told her no, but said they could provide abortion services.  The woman on the phone said it with the same indifferent aloofness that a store clerk might say "we're out of that in red, but we have it in blue".

Assholes.

It's a beautiful day down here today. Had a good gig in a new venue last night, we'll get some more dates there from our stellar performance last night.

Sports aplenty on the big screen today, the Masters and then the Texas race tonite.

22 It's freezing in LA today. Started out in the 40s and it should climb into the 50s.

Was watching this brit comedy show: Russell Howards Good News. Except for the cheapshot at Palin and some nonsense about the downtown mosque not being a mosque, he was pretty funny. He kept showing the baby scared by his mother blowing her nose tape.

23 21 Knowingly or not they are definately tools of evil,doing evil work.

24 There is money to be made:  Honey Badger t-shirts with "I don't give a shit!" written on them.

Anybody watching Camelot now showing on Friday nights?  I'm not really into the genre but it has plenty of boobies.

27

So I'm changing pin positions this morning and a fucking goose actually came after me. Normally they'll start squawking and take off once you get within 20-30 feet but this little bastard had other plans.

I swear I'm going to get a taser and tase those fuckers. I'd like for someone to explain to me why they're protected.

30 27 Must have been protecting a nest.

31

I don't think government funding abortions is a big winner with anyone but a subset of their own base.   The ones pushing towards infanticide.   The Republicans need to hammer the Democrat's Big Lie strategy claiming PP provides all sorts of health services it doesn't. 

Even moderately pro-choice independents, and most people are squishes to one degree or another on abortion (life, incest, rape, very early term, whatever), must not be enthused about paying for abortions with borrowed money.

38 Eric, go to the Enquirer and read  the story about the cop going through a window because of an aggressive goose just yesterday-- no really! I linked it on the prior thread. They don't quite explain how it happens. So hoping there's video!

39 Geese, like all other birds, are avian dinosaurs. In fact they trace back to therapod raptors. Predators. Nasty beasties. I hate them greasy geese bastids. I's nuke them from orbit if I could.

40 When I was about three I remember a bunch of geese coming after me.  It was like being chased by velociraptors, I think.  Adrenaline really makes you remember something.  

41

Doesn't Ace look like that? 

Only on good days, when he's had his meds. Otherwise, picture Wicket with a nasty hang-over.

42 Geese are wonderful creatures, slow cooked in gravy, poured over mashed potatos and sopped up with a home made buttermilk biscuit.

My sister got bit by one at the Columbus Zoo and it left a welt that lasted for weeks. Those sumbitches bite down hard and twist.

50 Canadian geese rule NJ, they are a blight on society, pure evil. Played golf this morn, the place was covered in goose shit, friggin gross.

51 They've made a movie about Mary Surratt...one of the darker stories from our history.

52 After watching the able bodied 30 something man with the diamond earring and lexus in front of me on Thursday night buy imported cheese for $6.90 on foodstamps, govt cheese may be the way to go.

53 Consensus is in -- we need a national 'punch a Canadian goose in the beak' day.

Mean little shitheads that hiss and chase. I can't stand them.

54 Swans are even meaner than those green shit factories.

55

I mowed almost the entire lawns, front and back yesterday while it was 88.

Doing the rest Monday when the high will only be 78!

I think I'm going to have to buy a cheap, light Weedwacker because the one we have is super heavy and the hand clippers I have just aren't going to work on weeds that are along every inch of the damn fence.

Gardening is tough. I have more muscles than when I started a week ago and they all hurt.

56 Canadian geese are why the "walking stick" was invented.

57 That commercial is weird Mama AJ, but I always watch just for the mini-'affe. Cute.

58 In Michener's Cheasapeake he describes the "bounty" they settler's and indians made of the friggin Canadian geese. Perhaps a new jerky is in order.

We've tried everything. Geese don't like a lot movement so we put up balloons. Didn't work.

We have a 36,000 sqaure foot double green at the clubhouse that is constantly covered in goose shit and we put up motion detecting strobe lights around the green to scare them off at night. Didn't work.

It sucks because it's a 27 hole private club that adjoins a nature preserve and a large reservoir that supplies Columbus with drinking water. It's goose fucking paradise there.

61 Oh great Joe Buck and Tim McCarver doin the Yanks/Sox game...thank god for the mute button.

She said something like, 'have you seen my husband? he's so creepy'.  Which he is. He always reminded me of that wife beating husband in that Julia Roberts movie Sleeping with the Enemy.

Of course the fact that he's a flaming uber-leftard doesn't help.

That was her husband, now ex. And he was some newspaper publisher in SF. It was a serious injury, ripped off flesh, tore up a tendon, bone infection. Now sure why a grown man would want to pet a lizard.

Federal Migratory Waterfowl Act.

Even Hazing might require a permit.  Killing out of season is a no-no, though.  HUGE fines.

I am quite serious, though.  Border Collies / Dogs would work well at keeping them out of the high traffic areas and it is probably the most cost effective way to deal with the problem.  Collies are good because they won't pick up geese or harm them physically.  They will herd them and run them off quite effectively, though.

If they are nesting, Raptor Decoys will get them to move on to another spot.

Decoys don't work either, at least not here. We've even tried shooting bottle rockets at them but that doesn't work either.

Another problem is that they can recognize human faces. Some of those cocksuckers know who I am and usually take off before I can get anywhere near them.

What made it really funny is that Spurwing was relevant to the topic, just in his very unique way.

114 My favorite thing about Spurwing is that he refuses to interact with mere mortals. He is like a god of the tubes, dropping every once in a while to sprinkle his wisdom and then he disappears. He puts the IG in enigma.

115 So Plover posts nonsensical, non sequitors??

116 "So Plover posts nonsensical, non sequitors??"

No. He was always on topic and made sense.

120 This Plover fella sounds intruiging, does he have a news letter?

No, but he has several nephews.

121
Oh, and England Swings Like a Pendulum Do by Roger Miller is one of his favorite songs.

122 I actually got Spurwing to reply to me once. I've only seen him reply to anyone once or twice. Obviously, he and I are on the same wavelength, very simpatico.

123 Another thing, dananjcon, is Spurwing has posted comments at conservative sites for years, and sometimes other names, but it's always a type of bird. He's really into birds--that's how I got him to respond to me, by telling him a story about skuas barfing (skuas are a kind of bird).

124 if I can hit my 4 iron over 200yrds, I'm ditching the driver for good!

Posted by: dananjcon at April 09, 2011 02:10 PM (uIz80)

Make sure you play your driver even with your left shoulder.  Usually people compressing irons have trouble adjusting to the slightly upward hit.  And vice versa good drivers not hitting down on irons.  More weight on front side for irons but even for driver.  Oh, and if your back shoulder is too high you'll tend to pop up your driver.  But it might be a soft cut with irons. 

Let's do this.    

 

125

It's even worse when you forget the sock.  

126 You must cultivate the Way of the Honey Badger.

For the way of the Honey Badger is as follows:

For the Honey Badger is the most splendid of God's creatures in courage, for he has the most faith.

For he beareth the sting of the serpent by napping.

For he maketh of the serpent his meal.

For he runneth in slow motion upon graceful occasion.

For that of a shit he giveth none.

For that he startleth the impervious bird.

For the Honey Badger disdaineth the venom of his foe the Africanized Bee.

For the Honey Badger eateth of the grub of the Africanized Bee, which to him is toothsome.

For that he be in proper season a sleepy fuck.

For he careth not whether his prey be in the tops of the trees.

For that he scanteth not to leave scraps for his detractors.

For the Honey Badger hunteth both by night and by day.

For in all the kingdom of the animals, the Honey Badger haveth the worst ass.

For that the over-precious think him both gross and disgusting.

Yea, though the Honey Badger runneth in slow motion through the Valley of the Shadow of Death, of Evil he doth fear none, for his ass is very bad in the sight of God, which pleaseth his Creator.

127 A panda walked into a bar and ordered lunch.  He ate it, shot the waiter, and started to leave.

"Hold on!" screamed the bartender.  "What are you doing?"

"We're in the dictionary," said the panda.  "Look us up."

So the bartender looked up pandas in the dictionary, which read, "Asian marsupial.  Eats shoots and leaves."
