Poor Bastard - An opossum TR

I've tried. He's just a complete tool where animals are concerned. He doesn't understand how animals think. He and his wife got a dog that had had a tramautized past and the ways he went about getting the dog comfortable were completely useless. Some technique where you throw food to the dog progressively closer to yourself. Just retarded. I would have had that dog eating out of my hand in days. He was still throwing food months after they got her. Good thing its his wifes dog and she's a lot smarter than he is.

One more animal story. My friend drove an old tercel, the hatchback model. The real old school model. He came around a sharp bend in a road and there was a small doe right in the road, or it may have run out. Anyway he clips the thing and he says it just bounced like a rubber ball off of the car, filling it instantly. This kid mind you lives off the grid down a class 6 road in a sort of house. Its up on sauna tubes, no cement pad. Solar panels, generator, gravity feed water you know. He's got a big civil war era beard to boot. He's usually got his car jammed with tools and whatever. He's also not about to leave a dead deer to rot nor call any authorities for help or ask what the proper protocol would be in this situation, thats not the New Hampshire way. So he loads this 100 pound doe into the passenger seat of his little old beat up Tercel and drives it 10 or 15 miles to his house and butchers it. Would have loved to have spotted him driving along thru town with a dead deer sitting upright in his passenger seat.

What? Unless you were carrying the oar back to the boat shed and decided to take a swipe this is an admission of comedy technique no? What were you doing with your blade so high off the water, trying to swat sea gulls on your way to front stops?

We were doing a all out 500 meter pieces on the schuykill and the goose was sitting on the water. It (and it's flock of geese) were grazing on some alge on the water when the boat approached them from behind. They were startled and tried to take flight. However they made the poor choice of trying to take off in the same direction that the boat was moving. Out boat was moving faster than they were. The 2seat's oar caught the goose in it's ass and knocked it down as it was running on the water to take off. It fell down into the water and 4 and 6 seats oars kept it there by hitting it in the side. It was stunned. I was rowing stroke and just as the goose was righting itself from its side, extendting it's neck off the waterline my oar, on the feather, rigged a little too high, caught it flush in the neck snap- and down went the goose. We looked back and the thing was rolled sideways in the water.

Ahhhhh. I see.

The combination of your Britney avitar and violent animal killing style rowing is quite alarming.
