Why am I watching an edited version of Major League on Bravo when the real version sits 5 feet away on the shelf?

Hah! I was watching it last night as well, then finally realized how dumb it was to sit through the commercials when I could put in the DVD.

[And That]

I have never hit anything with car before outside of insects. No accidents, no dead cats, no live possums, no nothing.

 

So today, over the course of about 2 hours, I hit 2 birds (or rather, they hit me). Both square in the windshield. The first one appeared to be some sort of finch or sparrow. I'm pretty sure about this because 90% of it bounced off the car, 10% didn't. Later on I hit something else... I'm not sure if it was a bird or a bat (it was around 6 pm). There was just a loud thud, though not a whole lot of debris on the windshield.

 

What the heck?

I hit a squirrel yesterday. I thought about trying to avoid it, but i kept being reminded of those two squirrels giving each other the high five after the motorist crashes.

I almost creamed an entire family of partridges in a Maserati. I giggled to myself afterwards when I thought about the Partridge Family.

 

I've ran over way to many critters: Cats, Raccoons, Skunks, Birds, Possums, Squirells, etc. No deer or dogs thankfully.

 

Almost bought the farm once in an Austin Healey. I crested a hill on a back road and found a cow right in the middle of my lane. That would have been very bad.

I drove passed a horse standing on the side of the road cause as I was approaching it at night, it's hind leg looked like a mail box post. That also would have been very bad.

Funny (but sad for the horse) story on that one....apparently back when I was in HS, the middle school principal was driving about 120 on a country road, and a horse had got out in the road. The horse was decapitated, and I guess the principal was OK. I was in HS with his kid, and I was talking about it, because I saw the horse covered with a blanket on the side of the road and he said his dad did it.

I can't find a "Chimp Channel" torrent anywhere.

I'm always afraid an Amish buggy will pop up out of nowhere at night. Of course, they involve both people and a horse. It's gotten better since they started using battery operated taillights. Before that, automobile drivers had to rely on a kerosene lantern inside the buggy and a reflective slow moving vehicle emblem to see them.

People in the vent thread has no use for logic or reason.

 

But then, I suppose that is what makes it "venting".

If I were being chased by some wild animal (bear, coyote, wild cat, etc.), would it do any good to spray mace in it's face? Does it have the same/any effect on animals? Or would it make them more enraged?

According to wikipedia: Pepper spray (also known as OC spray (from "Oleoresin Capsicum"), OC gas, capsicum spray, or oleoresin capsicum) is a lachrymatory agent (a chemical compound that irritates the eyes to cause tears, pain, and even temporary blindness) that is used in riot control, crowd control, and personal self-defense, including defense against dogs and bears.

That could be the most useful information to come out of this entire thread.

[DatHoser]

Agreed, jazzytrav. A can of pepper spray should be every hikers/campers pack.

The weird thing is that I had a daydream the other day about a bear attacking me and what I would do, and now I'm not scared anymore http://forum.brewerfan.net/images/smilies/smile.gif

When you're served a cup of shark fin soup, you're supposed to ad a spoonful of cognac. A Chinese soup spoon holds a fairly generous amount of cognac.

I should've spent more time studying for my geography exam.

At the game last night, somebody recognized my Yosted shirt as I was walking up the steps, section 205-206. Anybody here? I wore it fully expecting a blowout in the other direction.
