btw- the reason I was hoping to hang on to the wack-a-post, at least a little while, was all the fun we could have with it...

There, now it's saved for you, Taz.

A happy couple sat on a park bench, quite happy and content with one another. The lady turned to the man and said

"Do you love me?"

To which the man responded "Of course, I love you more than anything."

"Then shout it to the whole world." she responded.

He leans over and whispers into her ear "I love you."

"Why didn't you shout it to the whole world?"

"My dear... you are the whole world to me."

I had been told my car would be ready today, but apparently it isn't. So, I'm stuck with the damn rental and its smaller gas tank...

However, as I got my hunting license last night, I may be borrowing my parents' truck for the weekend. Not taking a rental up to the mountain, and even if I had my car, I'm not fitting a dead deer in my trunk.

Wait... You know... It might fit, actually. The 2014 Sonata has a good deal of trunk space...

As long as you paid for the full insurance, you can do whatever the hell you want to that car. Though, putting a dead deer into the trunk is likely to leave some orders that might make the rental company a bit... Suspicious...

That's why they make thick plastic sheeting and duct tape...

Actually, the rental is paid for by the insurance company covering the guy who hit my car.

Oh, you could be sooooo evil...

Well, considering the conversation I just had with my parents, I'm just going to cancel my plans for the whole damn weekend.

I can't borrow the truck, because just like EVERY WEEKEND, my mom has my sister's kids tomorrow, and I bet she will have them Sunday, as well.

If I ever get the income to afford it, I'm leaving.

OK, first off; a tip of the hat and a nod of the head in the general direction of ShneekeyTheLost for the "...you are the whole world to me." thing. Well done.

Also, Thx to the Meister of Glytch for his archiving, I had thought to do the same but the thread moved on and I fergot.

That said, I'm thinking a bit more planning aforethought, some large rubbermaid tubs (w/ lids) and a sharpening stone to augment your fillet knife and joint-scissors- heck you could get most any four hoofed game beast found in North America into a rental car.

Maybe not a Bison.

But a Deer fer sure, you bet'cha.

Just... not in one piece...

Well, it's a 2016 Nissan Rogue, so if I laid down the back seats, I probably could get it to fit. Not sure that the vehicle could actually move that sort of weight, though...

A little while back somebody mailed me (as in physical mail in a physical mailbox) some junkmail for some super stem-cell medicine scam. It wasn't just some little cheap pamphlet, though. It was a big thick booklet of something like forty pages, with glossy colourful pictures and everything. It's kind of depressing to think that these people make enough money off of these scams that they can afford to mail out things such as this to random people.

While that might be circumstantial evidence (i.e. many spammers are from countries that do not have English as a first language), it is not proof, either, as some people here are from such countries and do the best they can (and you can tell the effort is there, and even the occasional apologies about said grammar...)

Some people from predominantly English-speaking countries who have English as their own first language are that way themselves. . .

According to the basic grading scale, I got a D- without the use of Google.

Surprisingly, I managed to know all of them. Which actually fits in with my role at work and such places, where somehow I've ended up being the go-to person for information on current or past pop culture. How the guy who had practically no exposure to pop culture before he was an adult--and who still doesn't bother with watching television--ended up in that role, I'm not sure.

Well, some of those illicit moonshine stills produced some rather potent rocket fuel, and from that it was just the next logical step for the bootleggers to upgrade a bit on the whole outracing the revenuers thing. . .

Do you have to take the entire intact critter, though? If nine-year-old me was able to take all of the useful bits of a fully grown buffalo and bundle it into a small and light enough load that I could sling it over my back and carry it, you ought to be able to fit the parts of a deer that you want into the back of a car. Unless Nissan Rogues are incredibly pathetic cars; I don't recall ever seeing one of them in person.

Oh! No, I was talking about a bison. Deer aren't a problem; I bet my brother and I would be able to put an entire deer in the back of his Mustang.

field-dressing the animal significantly cuts down on the weight and would make it easier to stow.

Well, yeah. And I would find it to be a much better idea than putting an entire animal in the backseat of a '99 Mustang.

Still, I could manage that, thanks to my experience as a lot associate at Home Depot for almost two years.

I suppose that strapping the deer onto the back of a Harley seat, and riding double, is an approach best saved for real emergencies. Definitely wouldn't work with bison.

Putting a deer in the back set of a Mustang... I dunno about that. Do you really want a carsick deer leaning over your shoulder as you drive?

Woody Allen, in his standup days, told a story about getting a ticket for a moose on the fender...

This is just too funny not to share:

Surround the carcass in explosives and detonate them all simultaneously, imploding the critter into a compact and super-dense form. If you somehow manage to induce criticality, then you could even use it to power your car. Think of how much cooler it would be to be able to say that your car had one atomic moosepower rather than some boring old amount of horespower!
