Some guy was complaining about the topics discussed in here so I thought I would start this one.
I predict it will be the longest thread ever.
Go wild.

Ya, the freakin rabbits are eating the bark off my little dogwoods.
How do I repair the little buggers.

I think you need to introduce some iron into your garden.
May I recommend 12 gauge pellets?

Well, if you're a Democrat you'll try to bribe the rabbits by offering them carrots. If you're Republican you'll try to kill all the rabbits.
If you're a gardner you'll get some chicken wire and wrap it loosely around the trunks of your dogwoods, thus preventing the rabbits from gnawing on the trunks.
What's that tell us? Gardners should be running the country instead of Democrats and Republicans. Vote Gardening Party.

I've become disillusioned with the Gardening Party ever since the ugly hoe incident at the last convention.....made tailhook look like a gardening party.

I went to a garden party, to remenisce with my old friends.

I say we perk the dogwoods and fry the rabbits. After that we can all sit in a circle singing kumbaya........... Wait I think I've been corrupted by demokratik politik thought.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH HHHHHHHHHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I feel much better now.......................... ..
We are now back to regular network programing. Lets just burn the dogwoods as fuel to BQ the bunnies!

Soon it will be time to plant tulips.

An old man lived alone in Idaho. He wanted to spade his potato garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, Bubba, who used to help him, was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and described his predicament.
Dear Bubba,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my potato garden this year. I'm just getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over. I know you would dig the plot for me.
Love Dad
A few days later he received a letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
For heaven's sake, dad, don't dig up that garden, that's where I Buried the BODIES.
Love Bubba
At 4A.M. the next morning, F.B.I. agents and local police showed up and dug up the entire area without finding any bodies. They apologized to the old man and left. That same day the old man received another letter from his son.
Dear Dad,
Go ahead and plant the potatoes now. That's the best I could do under the circumstances.
Love Bubba.

I can't believe Stringer said "hoe" and "convention" in the same sentance. Now this thread will get locked. :(

At Wal-Mart they sell Bermuda grass seed right next to the Rye and Fescue grass seed.
I'm betting that they don't consider Bermuda to be the vile evil weed that it is.

... The NYPD, The FBI, and the CIA are all trying to prove that they are the best at apprehending terrorists. Ashcroft decides to give them a test. He releases a terrorist rabbit into a forest and each of them has to catch it.
First the CIA goes in. They place animal informants throughout the forest. They question all plant and mineral witnesses. After three months of extensive investigations and sattelite imagry they conclude that terrorist rabbits do not exist in that forrest.
Next the FBI goes in. After two weeks with no leads they burn a large portion of the forest, killing everything in it, including the terrorist rabbit, and they make no apologies. The terrorist rabbit had it coming.
Finally the NYPD goes in. They come out two hours later dragging a badly beaten bear with a baton stuck in it's ass.
The bear is yelling:
"Okay! Okay! I'm a rabbit! I'm a diddlyin french terrorist rabbit!"

Gardens are fun because they attract animals and you can shoot them.
But I dont because I dont have a garden.
Well, I do, but no animals come.
Im tired.

"we demand.... a shrubbery!"
-
because of popular demand ;) :
A new lieutenent in the French Foreign Legion arrives at an isolated base in Algeria. As a corporal shows him is quarters, he asks the corporal, "The base is rather isolated, what do the men do for female companionship?"
The corporal replies, "On Fridays, they let us use the camels."
The lieutentent is disgusted, but says nothing. After a few weeks, however, the new officer is very lonely. He decides that if everyone else is doing it, why shouldn't he.
The next friday, the young lieutentent slinks over to the camel pens and, after looking around, drops his pants and starts humping a female camel. The camel is not amused and makes a huge uproar.
The same corporal comes in to investigate. "Lieutenent! What are you doing."
"Come on man," replied the embarresed officer, "You yourself told me we could use the camels on Fridays."
"Yes sir," replied the corporal. "But most of us just ride them into town."

I've heard that one before Straffo, but it's still very funny. :D

you know that all army in the world use and abuse acronim or abreviation ...
My question is : what is a B.M.C for the french army ?
a nice song to complete :
Dans la campagne de France,
J'avais't un campagnon.
Que j'aimais.
Il était mon ami, mon frère,
Comme une soeur dans mon coeur.
Je l'aimais.
Mort dans la rizière, la gadou-ou-e
Déchiqueté-e
Pulvérisé-e
Sur cette mine tu as sauté, tête brûlée.
Moralès, Moralès,
Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs.
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui voulais voyager, te voilà's éparpillé.
Je t'ai pleuré mon camarade
Versé des la-armes,
Loin des fe-emmes,
Et rien ne te remplaceront,
Ni la bière
Ni ma mère
Ni mon arme
Ni les dames
La femme est l'avenir des pommes
Comme dit Aragon, roi des cons.
Moralès, Moralès,
Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui as pris le pari de partir en confetti.
Et je te jure sur ta tombe,
Qu'un jour un monde,
Où la pureté triompheront!
Car l'ennemi règne ici bas,
Méchanceté-é-e
Brutalité-é-e
Et les dealers
Et les chômeurs, les communiss, psychanalyss,
Tous des pédés dégénérés! (subversif) - Autant pour moi -
Moralès, Moralès,
Disparu't aux champs d'honneur pour sauver les trois couleurs,
Moralès, Moralès,
Toi qui voulait batt' des r'cords,
A 20 ans déjà t'es mort.

I took this photo from our shade garden.

You must return here with a shrubbery... or else you will never
pass through this wood... alive.
One that looks nice.
And not *too* expensive.

My new house had no front lawn. After our last few rainstorms I discovered the secret...
Let the weeds grow thick, then mow.
If its short and green, its a lawn!
:D

Astro turf and plastic tulips, the house has never looked better.

It is used on many many golf courses in the US, and around the world.
Now go and pray for forgiveness you blasphemer!;)

Man you sound like that neighbor of mine who has a million dandelions on his lawn. When the wind blows and I see all those seeds landing on my grass I could kill him.

I think you could grow a good crop of pet rocks in that soil.
-
the italian guy across the street has the nicest lawn. it's concrete, painted green, with a big fountain in the middle of it.
-
Which tomato types do you favor. I used to be a big fan of the Beefsteaks, but lately they seem a little bland. I did have a nice crop of Romas last year.
What are you guys gonna plant?
-
Roma's are good, but the beefsteaks make better salsa IMHO. I'm gonna try to grow my own peppers this year, serranos and Jabaneros.

Don't be jealous, just keep in mind I started my adult life with a suitcase full of clothes, and $100 in my pocket and homeless...pursue your goals, don't rely on hand outs from others and work hard, you'll achieve your goals.

LOL! That could have been me, but I lived with a couple women before I committed, good thing or I'd have been divorced a couple times over by now...
After a nasty divorce with my dad, my mother basically moved from beneath me (the week after graduation) and I was left with living with my Dad and the Evil Stepmother for 6 months. A high school pal (1 of the 13 in our "gang" as I mentioned in another thread) hit trouble with the law, he stole some guns from a residence, and these guns went over state lines after he sold them on the black market, and one of these killed a man. Detectives caught the killer, but kevins prints were all over the stolen guns, and traced back to his juvenille finger print records. He was a "Wanted" man. Kevin decided he needed to leave Minn. and I was ready to spread my wings and help him out in search of a better life, we both carried baggage, his Juvenille criminal past, my divorced family past of ugliness that screwed my head up as a teenager.
We tried to join the Airforce, they would take me, but not him as he had a juvenille record...I chose to help my buddy out through some tough times he had coming up rather then go into the military alone.
During the record cold month of January and having been laid off as a Roofer from the summer/fall season, we worked as temporary workers ($20 a day) at the Toro Factory in Minneapolis(As "Chain saw testers" believe it or not) and saved up enuff money for spending money and (2 weeks pay) to pay for a train ticket each, it was $110 to travel one way on Amtrak to Seattle...we picked Seattle to search for work because I knew Boeing was out here and it was a dream job to me.
Feb.22nd, after an interesting 3 days on a train (Delayed 1.5 days due to a train derailment of a freight train ahead of ours, and an avalance that we had to wait for another train to come up from the other end of the track to clear it ou) we ended up on the streets of Seattle, each with about $70 each. Kevin met this guy that was a landlord of a slum shelter, a hotel where Alaskan fishermen, dock workers, Hooker and there pimps lived, I mention this latter for the fact I had to share a bathroom in a hallway with 3 of them! I never took a bath there, it was bad...the one room studio we rented for $50 a month had a double mattress on the floor, pieces of brick near it, to toss at the broken window frame at night if a bum decided to sneak in from the alley. It was shelter from the elements, we took it as it was.
After two days of looking for work at the local work pool, Kevin found out from his mom that his offense that detectives wanted him for was federal, not limited to the state arrest. His mom convinced him to return, turn himself in (which I'd been trying to tell him to do, but 18 yr. olds don't listen to other 18 yr.olds as well as they do their mother) Kevin got money wired to him for a return trip, while I decided to stay and make a living for myself in this green new world (It was 60 and sunny on Feb. 24th,1979 in Seattle, after having come from -40 below in Minn.)
Kevin gave me $30 of his $70 he had left of his money and got on the train for a return trip to Minn. leaving me with $100 to survive on (Studio was paid up for a month) 3 weeks later I scored a job with Boeing as a sheet metal apprentice and Kevin went to court.
During my first few weeks at Boeing, I was down to eating Snicker bars because of their ability to ward off hunger with the oil and nuts in it and I waited another 2 weeks for my first paycheck from Boeing (Actually 3 weeks, but a foreman noticed how I "watched" people as they ate their lunch, while I snacked on a candy bar, he loaned me $100 til payday~REAL FOOD FINALLY!) I moved out of the slum hotel and into a studio in Tacoma which was the upstairs of an old home, for $235 a month with all utilities paid and furnished, I was moving up in the world at $7.35 an hour!
And Kevins fate? He got off with probation after turning himself in to the police, landed a local job in Minnesota as a hydraulic mechanic and we've both been very successful as one could wish to be since. He's got 2 girls, and I have 2 boys, both close to the same ages (we both married late in life) We still keep in close contact monthly. The one friend from highschool I still keep in close contact with.
Layoffs, college and bartending came 2 years after my "start" as an adult but thats another chapter.:)
May I mention that I never felt desperate or poor during these difficult times, I always felt confident I could do "better" in every job I had from the time I was 15 working in a nursing home as a ktichen aide until now. I lived "good" and felt good whether it was $2.35 an hour, or $XX an hour. I felt I was proof that the "American Dream" that many immigrants experienced coming to our fine nation, was still alive..and feel that way today.
Well, bored ya enough, probably will regret posting this with some of the guys around here...but toejam...its only a grain of sand in the sand clock of life.
Edit, christ 6 edits for spelling,prolly more.. :)

Interesting story Rip, glad Kevin is doin ok. I lived near Tanner's Lake (East St. Paul) for a while, then in Dinkytown, near the University. Havent been there since 1965.

Really? Small world. My grandmother lived near Tanners lake. Used to do a big spagetti dinner at her place now and then. I lived in Minnesota from 1960(born in Cloquet, lived mostly in Forest Lake) until 1979, with a couple years in New Jersy stuck in there, talk about a culture shock~! ;)
-
Yup, my brothers were working for Homelite in St. Paul - one a salesman, the other a mechanic. Got me a job working in the parts/shipping department. Moved out there in '63, got drafted in '65. Never went back - wouldn't mind going for a visit tho, beautiful up north.
Friend I met there was from Emily, used to go up there almost every weekend in the winter - enjoyed it very much.
During one summer, used to hang with the guys from Tanner's Lake Cities Service. They had a dirt-tracker they used to take over to Sommerset, WI every weekend and Twin City Speedway on Sundays.
Met a woman from Ivanhoe - western part of Minn, and that's how I wound up in Minneapolis. Had lots of fun out there.
Best Regards

Sadly in France (and in almost all Yuropean country) in this case you end tramp or welfare recipient ...
That's one think really great in the US : you can start from 0 ... here without tons of diploma you are nothing.

I bet the one in the black suit had a hell of a sunburn the next morning.
Nice picture.
BTW remember to plant your tomato seedlings this weekend. You need to give them 4 to 5 weeks to grow before you transplant them into the garden.

Wow did not see page 2.
Nice story Rip. Amazing how your life progresses from one event to another and suddenly you are middle aged and it looks almost like you had a plan.
