I hit one with a nine volt battery from seventy feet up and twenty five yards away Saturday. Knocked it out. That just seemed to make the rest of them mad.

Who knew toads could thrive in near freezing weather?

He's upset about a link I sent him about the possibility of Amelia Earhart being devoured by coconut crabs after crashing near a small atoll in Kiribati.

Yapping on the radio while piloting a plane then was just as dangerous as talking on a cellphone while driving today. Broads always have to gab about something.

Hey Pigmeat, are you telling me that women engage in "Flights" of fancy? Absolutely misogynistic.... :-X
