Island Of Misfits

I can see why you got fired from the Suicide Prevention Hotline.

Yeah, bubba kept putting on a dot-head Indian accent to ask the caller if he could drive a truck.

I get a soft on just looking at those fag's. Back in the suck(Army for those that didn't have the pleasure) they use to give us 3 in the morning(c-rats) 3 in the afternoon and three in the evening, they were old(vintage 1940) but they were good. Traded my cookies(not my thia-sticks) and my chocolate bars for the cig's. Now my M.D. says they might kill me, so I had to give them up, where was he than?

I remember the cigarettes in the little 4-pack. We usually got Winstons

Yeah Wolf, nor-easter comin in off lake Huron this mornin. REAL shi**y out here right now, shovelin is a fools venture, at least for the time being.

I spent one half of one winter near lake Michigan and had enough. If I covet snow, I would rather go to the mountains than have it delivered to my doorstep.

In 1962 we had C-rations with green packaged Lucky Strikes.

OK who else as a wee lad took hundreds of red jacket fireworks apart just to make one loud one LOL

I disassembled cherry bombs and packed the powder into a spent 12 gauge shell that I had knocked the primer out of. After packing the case with flash powder, I either waxed a cherry bomb fuse in the flash hole or broke a black cat in half and stuck it in the hole left by the primer.

I also made black powder in high school chemistry lab, as well as solid rocket propellent.

Remember those red rolls of caps you put in your cap gun?? Take a whole roll and put it on a cement front porch and swat it with a hammer. My ears rang clean into puberty.

Black powder is shock sensitive and we used to smash any firecracker that didn't go off with a hammer to get them to bang.

27F @ 87% RH, snow with 10 mph winds, and predicted to reach 40F by tomorrow morning with rain, so should clear the snow and flood the local steams and rivers. I predict some serious mud and land slides in the burned off parts.

Our governor has declared a state of emergency, the bus and rail lines shut down, the gorge freeway continues to be closed, there is extensive storm damage, much of Clackamas County is without power and we were off here for awhile.

In contrast, the park across the street was full of people playing in the snow and the area restaurants are opening despite the weather, now that our governor says they can.

I extracted another half gallon of buds, this some 2017 material that I forgot in my curing cabinet, and sampled the concentrate this morning. Wowza is it sedative!! I almost decided to take a short nap from two dabs.

I used a cheap hammer once and a piece of the hammer (metal) shot off and imbedded in my face
I use a red brick after that man what a boom when they went off all together (or was it just my kid ears LOL)

Pute, My cerebral Hurts, do you mean geographically, metaphysically, chronologically, emotionally, systematically, graphically, ideologically? Dude, your killing my buzz.

Wasn't that cerberus the one that is a BIG doggie with a lotsa (3) heads that bit people inna arse if they tried to get the h ell out of H ell? Cerberus hurts, no error.

But I just gotta point out, upon reflection, that Cerberus hurts by biting escapees onna arse. That means we should add: "physically" as in arse-biting.

Blame it on @Big

 

[bubbawhale]

OK, @Big can take it, he's a tough guy. Bow, Bow, Bow.

Well I look at it this way, the way I have lived and worked over the years I hope my mind gives out before my body so I don't feel more pain that we all know is coming.
Senility a blessing in disguise ,

Brother Roster, My man, I watched my brother-in-law(who taught me how to tie my shoes) go down that road. I waited and waited for him to not know who I was, to not know my name and the day that happened I could have sat down and cried. Yes, It was much relief for everyone when he no longer knew sh*t , but, It like to killed me(he was a hunting and fishing fool, and a electrician by trade). One of the hardest men I have ever known brought to his knees by a G*d Dam* old timers ill. Truth, I want to be able to make the decision whether to go on by my own hand. Won't burden my boy's or my wife.




D*mn, that get's a little dark fast Hey,,,,,,,

 

[bubbawhale]

Please pass me that bowl guy's.

 

[Unca Walt]

Now just a dang minnit!!


"Question for all you creberial types..."

I am certain there's gotta be some kinda deep fargin code in there... Lessee: First thing pops up is creberial an anagram for blearier -- so maybe putembk just wanted us blearier ones to be the ones to answer.

So I will answer in code: lowered and roweled give the answer to you. (anagram)

I think the easy answer is that we are on yet another cusp of humanity. It is clearly cyclic.

 

[bubbawhale]

Yessir unca, mayhap's got me merds wicks up or possum using some other language, it's hard to tell this far into the weed's or should I say weed. yuck yuck. 5er's, out.
