Especially for EmmeK and Katfish:
Sorry to post this on such a picture….Squawk…what were you thinking?
When I say good morning I mean:

I-nspire others please, and

G-od loves you!
What in the heck did Squawk have to Google to find THAT? Never mind - don’t want to know…
Must be from Berkley Ca

What a way to wreck a morning with that pic. Shudder.
Wooden shoes. Must be Holland, or the Netherlands. You know, where they speak Dutch.

A looonnggg time ago I was researching information to reply to Serge’. Came across that picture in a much less popular blog’s caption contest. I stole the picture and tucked it away for days like this.
A late open comments is like an unpainted canvas.
Squawk:
It could have remained unpainted for many of us!
Do you realize that breakfast for many LST readers is now a thing of the past?
Just curious, what was the winning caption?
Squawk is lying. That pic came straight out of his family photo album. It’s why he wouldn’t let Bsue meet his family until after they were married.

Your post from last night was very interesting. I wonder how many of those things I’ve missed in the past because I wasn’t paying close enough attention. I also give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to playing fair.

Don’t know. I never went back to see. I just knew that picture had LST potential.

BSue saw that picture for the first time this morning. Her comment about my sense of humor and the picture itself cannot be printed here.

Besides where is my mornin quote from you?

Mawnin Blogospherians™
*persnikkety*
:)))) thanks.
Along the lines of Dan Aykroyd’s observation from the movie ‘Sneakers’ when he mentions “Cattle mutilations are up.”, here comes along another wielding Hombre situation. Appears a plethora of these stories abound recently but I doubt it has anything to do with our many ‘visiting’ tourists from the south.

#22 Nah, I got it
#24 - bigjolly, that may be the only Kubrick film I’ve never seen. I’ll have to check it out. I’ve enjoyed most of them. Except for “Barry Lyndon”. I had to see that for an “art appreciation” class. There’s four hours of my life I wish I could have back. Had to be the worst movie I’ve ever seen in my life.
#32 Hammie
The book wasn’t any better - I read it wayyyyy back in the mid 70’s, or at least I tried… My appreciation of Barry Lyndon was not very artistic.
#33 added
And it took me lots more than 4 hours to read!
I hated Clockwork Orange. Very disturbing.
#35 Liz,
I’m glad I wasn’t the only one - I just blamed it on youth, and naivite’ since I was fresh “off the farm,” a college freshman… But, come to think of it, I get that same feeling from MOST of Kubrick’s films.
#35 and #36
I agree with y’all on his films especially “Eyes Wide Shut” and “AI” those seem borderline weird. But we can thank him for “Hal”.
Lord have mercy!!!!!
#32 hamous
It takes an awful lot to get me involved enough in a movie to be pissed off. Man, that was a good movie. And short, only an hour and a half.
Everyone behave yourselves - it may be a while before your humble moderator regains consciousness after that link in #36…
#11 texpat
Yeah, I caught the plagiarism that you pointed out and started not to use her comments in COW. But, that entire thread was so good that I ended up using it as a “teaser” to get people to read the whole thing. Wish all of the threads were that interesting.
I really wanted to discuss her comment that “God is the goodness within all of us”. I could go on all day about that. I think the best way to refute that statement is to have a person be alone in a roomful of 2 year olds. Vicious little creatures. Goodness seems to me to be a learned behavior.
Maybe some people and films are meant to be weird and disturbing so we can tell the difference between what is good and bad. Just don’t charge me $$ to sit through something bad!
#41
Now THAT is a C.O.W.! Can you nominate yourself? If not - do it anyway!
#42 And film critics….
Can someone explain to me why the films I like always get panned by the critics? Conversely, if there is a film that is fawned over by all the critics, I can almost bet that every bit I think is worth seeing, I saw in the trailers, for free…. over and over and over again….
Judging from many so called adults I have had the pain of association for one cause or another….. I definately vote for learned behavior.
#41
bigjolly
That is my belief, ever since the fall of Adam and Eve, we have to learn to be good because of the sin nature that is in us from the start.
#41 bigjolly
Yes, it was a good thread. HomerJ is an interesting guy and I wish he would post more. I was somewhat shocked about the “cut & paste job” and e-mailed Hammie about it. I was a little hesitant to embarass ShinerBlonde, but Ham is right - it’s a hangin’ offense and should always be pointed out.
I have to say though, Tom S’s comments about abortions in black America have haunted me since I read them. We need to hear more from him.
#46 emmekelly
Speak for yourself, emme. I was a perfect two year old…….still am.
#46 Dunno… I think, unless we are a sociopath, mentally ill or chemically impaired, most folks know right from wrong. We don’t always know the next right thing to do, but we know what is wrong to do. Sadly, a lot of time we do the wrong thing anyway for countless number of human excuses. I also know, inevitably there are consequences for this learned behavior.
#49 Well, that sounded preachy….sorry

You mean you are still two years old? LMAO
Shannon said that you were older I would of thought that you were older then two.

Hello? tap…tap…tap…AHEM! ™
There seems to be a rash of orphaned deer lately. Dunno what’s going on, but here’s the deal. DO NOT FEED IT!! If you find a baby deer, please leave it alone for about 3 hours. The greatest mistake that we make, is to assume that it is abandoned. Generally, a mom will leave the baby in a “safe” spot while she grazes. She WILL come back. She’s eating, so she can nurse her baby.
I went into Tractor Supply today and found 2 women on the floor, feeding a newborn deer Calf Manna milk. BIG mistake. I managed to talk them into giving it to me, and took it to a TPWD re-habber named Emily. She has 18 years experience, and if anybody can help re-hab her, it’s Emily! Hopefully the baby will make it, but she’s really sick now, due to cows milk. Please post, e-mail, or call me if you need help with ANY wild animals (except for an alligator over 2 ft. long. I gotta draw the line somewhere) Here is a very convienient link with every current rehabber, in every county:
http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/rehab/list/
BTW: The story the lady told me of how she aquired the deer, I did not believe. Her husband was the BIGGEST poacher in my old neighborhood and I truly believe that he poached and killed the mama, and realized that she had a baby…His wife didn’t realize who I was until after I told her. /sorry for the rant….
#65 Marc: Hold on…During Katrina, weren’t they taking guns away from citizens, because it was against the law?
Exactly how many weapons do you hafta have, until they are considered “stockpile”? I have a “few”. Am I stockpiling?
Bring on more charges for cold cash Jefferson! Maybe one, just one, will stick… /spittles
ST good to know! With the woods coming down around Cypress, more and more wildlife may find themselves in a delimma. Thanks for posting the link.
Yaay! My internet connection is back up…for now.
/back to work, back to work
My 66 shoulda said: in every county with a certified re-habber…doh!
Yeah!!! Look around and if there is no law or game warden around
SHOOT IT and EAT IT
Ooooh! You’re gonna get in T R O U B L E with some ladies here!
Hamous
There ain’t nothing better in the world with scrambled eggs, home made biscuits, and hot chowchow than
“GROUND DEER MEAT SAUSAGE”
patty or link does not matter.
YYYYUUUMMMMM
ST, you are not an indited person, so are entitled to your collection.
My point was that Jefferson is anti NRA, anti GUN rights, and collects guns. He voted against every bill to protect gun rights and manufacturers. This is poetic justice. He used his bribe money to collect valuable guns. They are taking his toys away. The Judge looked at them as collectibles as part of money laundering and racketeering.
The illegal seisure of guns in NO has been addressed in court. Now they need to enforce the law.
The best way to rehab an orphaned deer is to properly dress it out. Deer steak, backstrap or sausage. End of problem.
LMAO!:
http://dumplindseygraham.blogspot.com/2007/06/we-beg-you-senator-graham-represent-sc.html
ST
I’m just like ya with weapons. I make sure that I get plenty of target practice too.
ST, BTW I have a “stockpile” of pretty neat guns here at the compound. They are not collectables.
They ain’t old enough to qualify yet. A couple are close though. My fave is my .45 Colt Gummint Mk IV Series 70, bought new. That’s what, 37 years old?
That gun cost me about $125 at the Nellis Base PX. Look at the prices on the new ones.
ooooooooo
Marc: #74 As soon as I figgure out what “indited” means, I’ll letcha know. For the rest of your statement, I agree with wholeheartedly! Throw all charges at him, and let’s see what will stick!
As for your weapons, dang! Sweet! I know how much a “legal” gun costs these days.
As for the resta ya…..Let’s get something straight…I am a member of PETA! People Eating Tasty Animals…Ya kill what ya eat. I am TOTALLY against poaching (whether fish, deer, dove, etc.) There is a reason for the seasons! That baby wouldn’t of made a snack. I’ve birthed ‘possums, for goodness sakes. I loathe them, but they are actually disease free vermin..huh! I’ve pulled a Rambo on a deer that just got hit by a truck and re-habbing was not an option, so I had to put it outa suffering. I believe in giving everything a fair shot at life. Just like I’m opposed to abortion….did that make sense?
BTW: Emme’s dad makes THE BEST deer sausage that I’ve ever eaten….really….
I’m reminded of my sister, who thought the venison my dad cooked was great tasting meat, but she refused to eat any of that deer meat he got on the hunting trip.
#73
Squawk
Do I get to use my dad’s welfare deer, the crippled buck on the left, as target practice?
We call them his welfare deer because they stand at the barn waiting for the corn almost every night. It is just so funny to call my dad a Dem, when it comes to him and his deer, knowing what a conservative he is. I guess you have to know him to get the joke.
I’m not familiar with the gun laws in NOLA. I do have a problem with the judge taking guns away from an unconvicted man, simply because he’s indicted. Yes, even Mr. Jefferson. Its all about due process. Regardless of what legislation he’s voted on related to gun ownership, and yes it is poetic justice, the 2nd amendment applies to all or to none. Once he’s convicted of a crime he forfeits those rights.
ST
I made the mistake one night of getting out of my car and running up to a big buck laying on the highway that had just been hit by a truck (as did several other people). Thinking it was dead I leaned in to get a better look at that gorgeous creature when it jumped up and took off. It had just been stunned but one kick from him could have turned me into worm food.
Hold on Hammie: As to my understanding, during Katrina, one of the things that the cops did, was to take away citizens guns. To my understanding, guns are OUTLAWED in NO. Now Jefferson got caught with guns? Did the law change?
Squawk: Sent you an e-mail with the baby deer. You could use her as a toothpick, however!
So do I. I take a deep breath, release about half way and then I
1. pull the trigger
2. set the hook
3. spring the trap.
There is no such thing as poaching unless you get caught.
Baby deer make the best stew.
emmekelley
Welfare deer? That is too funny. Oh and I get the joke too.
#84 Liz:
Too freakin’ funny, now…I had perfect imprints of deer hooves on my leg, and a scar on my hand, where she kicked me….sigh…poor baby. Rumor has it, that she went to a shelter for food. Rumor also has it, that she was “tasty”..
#86: O.K…I hafta agree, afterall, I’ve EATEN roadkill outa season. I guess I’ve now eaten a Welfare deer too!
guns are not outlawed on NO, and never were. The NRA bropught suit against the NOLA PD for having confiscated those guns, which they claimed was done to “prevent violence.” When the guns were order returned, amy of them ahd “gotten lost” until they wer found being sold in gun shows and shops all over the south.
Fact of the matter is, the NOLA PD stole a bunch of guns in the name of keeping the peace.
Those NOLA PD guys have thier own definintion of what “honest and legal” means.
One good thing that’s come of that is a law passed here in Texas that specifically prohibits the taking away of citizens guns during emergencies such as Katrina.
Cabrito deer
Understand about maintaining animal population, how they will suffer and starve if not for hunters, most hunters are responsible and consume or donate what game they kill, etc… If it was the only means of providing food for my family I would do it too. But Krogers is right down the road and has a/c, no chigggers, snakes or bugs and someone else deals with the blood and guts. OK - I’m a weenie.
ROTFLOL Sarge’s #76 in the middle of all the talk of tasty deer, and stews caused me to read
as
You guys are too much!!!!!
Sarge: I stand corrected. I’ve been wrong before, and will again! Thanks for the jiggy!
Mmmm, cabrito….
Hammie, I don’t have a problem disarming people under indictment, and here’s why:
The right to not be confined is even more fundamental than the right to bear arms. And people under indictment may be deprived of theie right not to be confined — they may be held pending trial.
Thus, if we can suspend a defendant’s right to walk down the street, we can suspend his right to be armed.
Of course, judges should still be reasonable in doing this, just as they should be reasonable in deciding whether to lock up a defendant, put a tracker on him, take his passport, or whatever.
Still, I don’t think disarming is appropriate in this case. Jefferson is as crooked as a question mark, but I haven’t seen any suggestion that he could be violent.
And Emme, the wedding plans are going great. We painted our own bride-and-groom cake topper, and it turned out perfect.
Next order of business is buying the rings. I’d better get something I like, considering I gotta wear it for freakin’ ever.
Which effectively disarms them. I’m trying to think of a case where someone under indictment is released pending trial and should have their guns confiscated. I just can’t see it. If they’re violent enough that you would need to suspend their 2nd amendment rights then they shouldn’t be released.
Believe it or not, I side with Matt.Disarmig this nutcase before trial

Do you and Red Zilla like Cracker Jacks?

Deer meat is gritty, gamey and gross. (Locks the door, pulls the shades and hides under the bed.)
You gotta kill it to grill it

But I ain’t yo mama and I suggest that you play with your food. You gotta love a possum recipe that starts out like this.

Elizabeth
Soak the meat in milk it get rid of the gamey taste.
Marinate or cook deer meat in Chambord liqueur. Knocks that gamey taste right out of the meat.
Oh!! and the younger the deer the less gamey tasting the meat.
I’ve never had venison that tasted gamey that was field dressed properly.
And if you want to eat venison, elk or any other game meat cooked in superb gourmet fashion, go to Shannon’s house and tell my sister-in-law you are hungry. The competition would lay down their pots and knives once they tasted her cooking.
Elizabeth, I am with you! I saw Bambi when about 6 years old so……no bambi’s for me. Ya’all eat my share … oh and no mud bugs either!
Texpat’s correct. You gotta field dress it right. That and aging before you freeze it. A lot of people just cut it up and freeze it immediately. Guaranteed to give you gamey venison.
At first I thought that was Sarge in the picture. But Liz said he doesnt own a pair of red shoes.
Don’t own any blue helmets either.
Hey, leave me out of it. I get in enough trouble on my own w/o being dragged into other people’s squabbles.
#117 And I have never discussed Sarges shoes or his pink leotards. (Kidding! I’m just kidding!)
LOL. Diane likes them…frankly, I’m getting a bit tired of them. After 200 boxes, I still haven’t found a decent wedding ring.
Got a sweet decoder ring, though.
#121 Matt - Hang on to that decoder ring. It will come in handy after through the years of marriage.

AFTER giveing credit for its sorce of corse .
Am I the only one who noticed that in all the explantions given as to the shelveing of ” THE BILL ” no one brought up the “large and loud ”
majarity of voters who are aganst it ?
Hmmm
Looks like I should do some proof reading too !
#126 IPA Bill, we have them quaking in their boots over the loud angry outcry they heard, but of course to admit it would be to admit we have power. YES we do have power.
With all due respect I doubt they are quaking. However, I am quaking. I realize what many dont. The gov has been highjacked. On the surface we won. Right now there are back room deals going on. When it does happen many here will be like…how did that happen? Remember CAFTA? It had no chance.
In the meantime the borders are wide open for anyone except law abiding people to travel freely across.
Law abiders now have to have passports.
Thats the laugh of all sick laughs!
Illegals are still the most free people on this planet while the citizenry is subject to regulations out the ying yang. Bravo. Thats exactly what our slave masters want.
My friends we have been enslaved. The chains hang lightly but they are there. Monday when you go to work, work hard so your money can be taken from you to help the needy illegals.
I’m gone!
I am frantically typing before my cable connection is lost again…I am preparing for my trip, but wanted to say one last “bye!” to everyone! I hope to have some kind of website after I get back with pictures…and I’m hoping a nod to LST as well!
After the wheels leave the ground, I can’t do anything about my mom…my business…I’ll only have 15 hours or so of airline crap and then I’ll be in Rome!
My husband is soooo gonna miss me - I know where all the money is! (in a leetle sock under the bed, ‘cuz there ain’t that much of it!).

Not only THAT, but he’s against any kind of “government solution.”

In an effort to bring a little levity to these proceedings, I posted this at Shakey’s, but it has become nothing over there but an argument about Iraq between Sarge and Gregg. It will be more appreciated here:
This girl is the new hoochie mama of the tennis world. She just lost in the finals of the French Open. Ana Ivanovic is a 6′1″ brunette who hails from Serbia.
http://www.noledjokovic.com/Liens/bisang_celeb_3_19.jpeg
Speaking of tall girls and note I am 6′1″ tall. Friday night after seeing Duke Robillard, we went over to our local hangout on the Hudson River to see our favorite R&B/Jazz band. When we arrived at 12:30, they had just started their second set and were in full-blown James Brown mode. There were 8 black couples there, all of whom are our friends. Two of the gals, Gwen and Elaine, jumped up and dragged me onto the dance floor. They are both 6′2″, beautiful, slender, athletic and smart. Gwen is a high school counselor and Elaine is a novelist and HBO producer. They were both wearing 6″ stiletto heels and as they were thrusting their cleavages at me, at eye level, I finally realized what it’s like to be Smacktle.
