Given that my dad was a sergeant and passed away at 60, perhaps we should call you "The Older Sgt" instead? That widowmaker artery you mentioned? That was one that almost got him when he got hospitalized for a heartattack the first time... which apparently was not actually his first. It h...

Amanda Gellings had gone to the Old Sullivan Mill to... distract ... herself from yesterday's encounter. She had wandered about, seeking what entertainment she could find- but getting bored instead. Her pride still stung from her collision with that foul-tempered Drake. That cute foul-tempered drake...

Unless they shoot first (here insert reference to "Support our right to arm bears" poster) Bears are notoriously poor shots. Betcha Morty Nickelovich-Smythe (a.k.a. Doc) will STRONGLY disagree. :mrgreen: There's always the exception- after all, how many polar bears do you know that play w...

Yes, pretty much. You can tell the difference by the fur.

• Polar bear fur is wet.
• Non-polar bear fur is oily or greasy.

Polar, non-polar, bi-polar or whatever- nothing you cannot cure with .50 caliber Browning.

Apparently, the original stent from 2007 re-clogged- as this is the artery that supplies the left anterior ventricle, it is often referred to as 'the widow maker'. A subsequent branch was also clogging. Both got stented. Today, I was lectured at ends about letting it get this bad. I already have sca...

Whelp, today I truck my happy ass 90 miles South of where I live and book into a Motel 6. On the morning, I have a date with a cardio Cath table for my fourth stent- or whatever they deem adequate to the issues. Not all that worried, more concerned about 1.5 hours driving through Winter conditions t...

Saturday morning saw Bill taking a portal to the library where he went straight to the Predatory Hunting Allocation desk in search of an opening among the allocated grounds. He was rather hungry. "Good morning, Mrs. Welsing- what have we in the Schwartzwald today?" he asked. "A three-...

I would LOVE to handle the throttle on that bad boy! I drove the 'Liberty Train' of the SPRR for a short haul back in the 70's, the controls are near identical. #4014, a 4-8-8-4 articulate, is what you show here. She is the last of her kind. 300 pieces of rolling stock was her normal load. Going up ...

There are things that annoy me the most, and that cause my bad temper to roast, but none can compare, to Dave's haughty air and his DAMNED "Grylloideaphobia" post!!! Now understand- don't get me wrong- Dave and I usually get along but my limericks fall short when stuffed with the sort of w...

Bill was on his way back to the rented room he lived in when He noticed the scent- a female of his kind, unfamiliar and of age. Surreptitiously, he scanned the immediate area- and saw nothing. The scent was strong (and enticing). She was somewhere close. Bill noted the direction of the breeze- somew...

???... how does one stuff a seven-syllable word into a limerick?!?

Grylloideaphobia? Is that for real? Or do I have to attack it with a limerick?

Wasn't that long ago that an update of any stripe was replied to within hours if not minutes- now it goes for a full day?

Sarge tells me his were stolen in Cuba.

It was 18:37 when Tina strolled through the door, still digesting that which she witnessed at her cofferia. The smell of old-world sausage, boiled red potatoes and hot sauerkraut greeted her nose as she doffed her jacket. The spices and vinegar combination made her mouth water sufficiently to moment...

I WARNED you that a Rolls-Royce Merlin V-12 cannot be kick-started! Get well soon!

"Where did you find him?" Sonya asked after a deep sigh. "The deep woods north of the Library- he hung himself." Brandi replied. "He wanted to date me- we had known each other since second grade. Even now, even though I miss him, I ... I ... I wonder... (the tears resumed) ....

Tina was a bit surprised at the cluster that strolled in that afternoon- hurt, anger, uncertainty... and the golem seemed steeped in the same, judging by facial expression. Fortunately, the shop was slack for mid-afternoon- totally vacant. The MIB Director, one of her Lieutenants and three Gryphon g...
