Wait till your sitting in the hot tub and one walks up. :(
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.

I like the faint smell of roadkill skunk.  My wife and one daughter hate it, the younger agrees with me.

try getting caught in a downpour in a park at night...

full sprint to the only roof outcrop from a building, round the corner and literally miss stepping on 3 skunks by mere inches

stop dead then start a full sprint right past in the line you were going while they hiss at you and try to manuever for a shot.




i odnt think my heart stopped beating outside of my chest for 2 days LOL.
I don't know what to put here yet.

Guess you didn't have your legally concealed carry pistol with you huh.  Oh wait you're Canadian.  You gov't leaves you the "mercy of your enemies and the forebearance of the reptiles" and other wildlife.

Pity.  Oh well.

In Canada I first experienced the smell of a skunk.  It wasn't up close, we were actually driving.  I thought that someone was smoking dope in the fields or in another car or something.

It was the first time I truely appreciated the term "skunk weed".
Some will fall in love with life and drink it from a fountain that is pouring like an avalanche coming down the mountain

Oh yeah... that's good stuff.

Here's the world, according to Storch:

"I was walking down the street, listening to my walkmen when in front of me I saw a skunk and thank god I was packin' heat so I pulled it out and shot the butterer in the head and then I went home."
