Buy you books and buy you books and all you do is eat the  covers.

Don't pick on McGyver he is my hero.

Yes try to convince her of  the fact we are harmless rapture.  Do you think we can really get out of this cell block tonite?  I managed to wiggle out of my straight jacket and ready to go.

Oh in the meantime everyone gather up all the bras you can and ship them to Albert for redistribution.

    Like you gardener I live in a big city too, San Dieog, so I was thinking what I should purchase for the bartering,since we have major gang problems have to rack my brain here, chocolate naw,nylongs, maybe they could use those to pull over their heads for masks? now if I buy wiskey and cigarettes that could be good. All kidding aside, may sell house quickly, buy a good size boat and sit out on the bay and just let em knock each other off, anybody have some good tips on fighting pirates? all kidding aside just some saturday morning humor there, I don't think any of us can imagine how bad a city likes ours will be!
hugs everyone :o)
although I do like the boat idea

PS....and no gardener, I never got your email

I think for those living in the rural areas a "MANURE-A-PULT" would be effective.

              You make a me laugh!          

LMAO getting, you are funny.  Come on over and we will feed you.

getting -very interesting but I think since the chickens will be dead and frozen they will not be represented by an attorney.  Maybe  PETA will intervene but will not worry about it as we can lob a few infected ones their way. Of  course cats are getting this BF also but I don't think my cat- Olivia- would enjoy the ride. 

We can form a committee and look into this.  Please forward $168,000. for the meeting preparation fees. The first meeting will be to decide where and when to have the actual meeting.  We will need an additional  $768 million to have the actual meeting. Afte that expect a number of papers to be published ,at you expense, to try to decide this issue.

I know now that you have decided not to quesiton this issue further but let it ride as originally  planned but it is too late for that as the goverment is now involved. I'm sure the gas tax and cigarete tax will have to be raised to pay for this miscalculation on your part of questioning a name. But please do no seek medical help for your nervous condition as we will then have to raise your medical insurance premiums also.

Cool, Please send as many chickens as you can packed in gold.  I promise to try them out as soon as we build the catapult.

Interstellar Catapults

Maybe we need to get the statistics chart for  bra sizes in major metro areas.  As for me, I'm afraid I'd have to go get some Cornish Hens - oh well....

Diode, But what if the BF hits, no electricity in the city and its running out of food.  I'm not saying other cities will be better or worse but using NYC as an example. How will people cook and dispose of their garbage in high rises? I've seen pics of garbage strikes there. If the BF kills as many as it might  who will take care of all the bodies etc. no just in NYC but other large cities as well.

Thanks for the chart- very informative.

lol, just trying to lighten things up a little.

Trebuchets are cool - much more accurate than catapults.

They are launchers that have a counterweight that swings a long arm with a sling.  You pull the long arm down, load it with a projectile and let it fly in an enormous arc.

They were used to lob things over the walls of castles during sieges in the Middle Ages.

Attackers used trebuchets to throw huge stones (up to 400 lbs), dung or dead animals, the bodies of people who had died from the bubonic plague, flaming stuff, severed heads of enemy soldiers.

They could also destroy sections of castle walls.

Good picture

*I asked son where he found the plans to build his. He said "No plans. I 
   just knew how they worked and built it."

**You might see trebuchets throwing pumpkins now. heresy.

***Bras hadn't been invented in the Middle Ages.

Interesting thread.  However,  there seems to be some confusion about
the safety of living in NYC.   I lived in mid Manhattan for seven years and
never had a problem.    I think NY'ers are great people and always help
each other out during disasters.

Interesting table on crime rates in US Cities,   note NYC rates as
compared to others:

aurora, Well just put the kid on a bus and ship him out. He'd go nuts in my shop.  What is a trebushet anyway??????  I'll ship him home after he gets done building  stuff.

"I like my idea of throwing frozen chickens at them with a catapult better.  Anyone know how to make a catapult?" 

My teen-age son builds trebuchets.  It’s a homeschool kid thing - turn them loose with wood & tools and a trebuchet appears in the yard.

The 14’ beast tossed large chunks of wood and bricks at least 100 yards.

Shipping costs would kill you though.... 

Turbo, It should be easy to find your house in Camdenton then.  Have you found mine? I gave you enough clues. When are you goingto come down?

You can say the right word to the sheriffs office about his pulling a gun on some kids and he won't have a permit anymore.

Besides I told you I was Certifiable.

Maysday,  I agree about a shotgun being essential for home defense.  However, its length can be a pain.  Most manufacturers have a legal "law enforcement" barrel of 18" available.  My Remmington 870 has one that cost me about $120 through an auction site (the big one), and makes the weapon much more useful.  I clean my guns once a month if they have been used or not.  Florida humidity is terrible even with Damp Rid in the gun case.  Its not playing, just preserving a valuable asset.
