Life on The Farm
« on: June 06, 2006, 10:13:18 PM »
Got home from work today and decided to take a dip in the ol' jaccuzzi. I got undressed, walked out to the patio and took off the cover and started testing the water.

As I walk barefooted around to the other side so I can take the cover the rest of the way off, I glaced down to see the biggest copperhead snake I've ever seen in my life slithering less than 6 inches away from my bare foot.

I almost **** my pants (if I had been wearing any). It was over 2 1/2 feet long and huge! Probably a pregnant one. Now, I have to wonder what I've got in store for the rest of the summer. Needless to say those midnight moonlit dips I usually take are postponed for a while.

Hehe, this coming from the guy who earlier posted about hating the encroaching population.

Snakes or morons, which one you prefer?

That's a tough question. I hate neighbors, but snakes scare the beejeebus outa me.

What's a fear of poisonous snakes called? Oh yeah... common sense!

Not that it's much help, but his cold-blooded arse was probably just trying to absorb some heat from your hot tub.  :)

Now that I think about it, both go hand in hand. All the new city folk moving in out here has shrunk the habitat. They are driving all the snake in my direction.

Knew I could blame this on them if I just thought it thru.

Gingers. Gingers are snake herders. (i saw it on the history channel)

No doubt your encroaching neighbors are Gingers.

RPM if you were a lil faster in the head you could have stepped on the head, reached down and grabbed brhind the head, not the neck...you grab the neck good chance of gettin bit. Behing the head as close as you can to the jaws.
Now with Buck Knife out you cut between your thumb/forefinger and back of it's head...straight down or it'll roll and nick ya.  Kick the head away,  ifluff'n yer wearin shoes, if not get a youger cousin to pick it up..with a stick.
Ya wanna now grab this snake about midway and squeeze and pull... you should hear the bones pop in the back and see watermelon come out the back end....rinse off snake.
Gut it starting from where the head was, down the belly, just enough to break the skin and membrane of the belly... if she's preggers be careful.
stripe the guts out and rinse really good, skin the rest of it.  You could marinate it now, batter and bread it or simply get it fired up.

Gather up yer  wood,a lil starter like Gucci bags and Paris and Richie and vigoriously rub them together... soon your Wood will start up... Keep rubbing until you know your Wood is as HOT as you want it....Just when it's ready!!!!

Throw the dead snake away and take Paris and Richie to the tent!!!! Show them the YER Snake!

Gawd gotta teach the youngens everything!

:aok

Sorry, you lost me at step on the snake. I was buck arse nekkid. Not that it makes any difference. The only snake I want to come in contact with are size 13 D Tony Lama's.

Same thing happened to me when I was a kid, though I wasn't buck naked.  Was walking in the back yard and just before my foot came down on it, I noticed a coiled copperhead ready to strike.  Needless to say I pulled my foot back, got out the hoe and chopped off it's head.

Sigh.... sometimes I miss livin in the south.
