thats about as bad as my brother hitting a turkey with his Ranger.

 

Me too!

 

I caught a turkey thru the t-tops of my buddies 86 Monte Carlo SS once.

It was hilarious. We were road cruising, it was in the road and flew over the top of us when we got to it. I reached up and grabbed hold. It was flopping around on the roof trying to get away, I have no idea how I kept from getting spurred. I was to drunk to think about that. Then it slipped out of my hands rolled down the back glass across the trunk, hit the spoiler and landed in the road. It was hurt to bad, it couldn't fly, so we had to kill it. Took it home cleaned it, fried it, and it took care of our munchies that night.

 

I tried to hit a turkey about a week ago but it flew before I could get it

I hit a porcupine a few years back when I had the '87 Cougar. I don't recommend it. The car sits a bit lower than the truck and when I went to clean it the following day there were quills stuck in EVERY rubber/plastic surface on the undercarriage of the car!! I was out in the driveway with pliers pulling porcupine quills out of my car! Plus the sucker broke some lights we had mounted on inside the front airdam and pushed them into the radiator denting it all up. Critters!

 

You're kidding, right?

You can't have been on the net and not heard about Snakes On A Plane.

Well, maybe you can . . .

Snakes On A Plane is the "IT" movie. It is all the buzz in town right now. It's sort of a joke that has grown into a very eagerly awaited movie that is going to be released in August. It really gained steam when Samual L. Jackson signed on after reading the treatment for it. Basically it's a comedy, action/thriller, horror flick. An FBI agent is flying a prisioner back to D.C., and the mob releases tons of poisonous snakes on the plane. The movie takes place entirely on the plane where the snakes are loose and killing everyone on board.

Yes . . . you read that right. It's supposed to be goofy and word its that it is so stupid it's great.

We will have to wait and see.

 

Onbelay is Mattineer Jr., guess I can be Mattineer III. Walked out of the house Friday morning, was going to run a couple of errands and then go play golf. From the storm Thursday night, a large Oak tree next to the driveway had blown over, uprooted, and the top was laying across the windshild, passenger fender and hood. I was pretty ill looking at it, but my wife helped me hold the branches up or still as I cut them off so as to not scratch it. I got away with one small dent about 2" long on top of the fender and one long scuff mark. A paintless dent repar guy should be able to repair the dent and the scuff mark should buff out. After golf, I spent about 3 hrs cutting the limbs off and loading my trailer. Spent about 2 hrs yesterday cutting up the trunk and hualing it next door to the neighbor for firewood. Condsidering how bad it could have been, I feel very lucky. On top of that, my daughter had a new baby girl on Thursday night and both are doing great, so all is well.

 

Hijack in progress...............

That windstorm didn't even wake me up. Glad the truck isn't too beat up, and congratulations gramps!

 

Thanks! Yep, I slept through it too. The dog sleeps in her crate in the utility room which was right inside from where the tree fell. I do remember hearing her bark a little.

 

One time there was this big ole jackass in the road. I swerved to miss him but you know how fast jackassses are. The damn thing was faster than my truck. Ran right in front of me anyway and I hit him!!! I looked in my rearview mirror to make sure he was OK, and he was!!!! But the damn thing kept getting hit by all the cars behind me. And kept getting up and running away. It was amazing. But the really weird part is that the next morning there was a jackass in my driveway and it kept hitting his head on my windows of my truck. It had to be the same jackass, I would think. What do you guys think?

 

I think mittenear has some new competition!

 

Are there female jackasses?

 

Yeah, I think. They must be the faster ones!!!!

 

uh huh, but i have never seen a pic of one.

 

This might even be the one I hit!!!!

 

she spells correctly. not the same.
