Ya know, there won't be a Utopia until God Almighty sets things straight down here. In the meantime, He has said "kill and eat". He has also said that they who prefer herbs should enjoy them, and that they who enjoy meat should enjoy meat. I enjoy deer meat in particular, and I see the over population of deer in suburban areas a boon for those who also enjoy deer meat. And for the "Gubmint" to charge for hunting permits is only fair, in order to have some idea as to who is out there with a deadly firearm. Unfortunately we do not live in Utopia yet, and the World will be getting worse and worse. For those who live far and away from The Wild, like I Do Not, it is probably very hard for them to see the deer on the highways slaughtered by cars. They would certainly see far less of all of that if there were fewer deer in those areas. And the simple way to cull them is through bigger bag limits, as well as allowing sharp shooters to operate in areas of "concern, interest, and need". Oh, sorry 'bout that "Corps-ism". The cost of capturing, neutering, and returning is way above and beyond the cost necessary to deal with this problem. Leave the solution in the hands of private Citizens who enjoy hunting and who enjoy the meat provided from such hunting, and the situation can be fixed. Man wiped out the Buffalo almost completely, and so, with regulations, Man can "whittle down" the population of the deer to where there are far less problems, and less unsightly deer slaughters on the highway, not to mention injuries and fatalities to humans. Yes, deer are pretty and they are beautiful. But, they are not that pretty after they have been obliterated by a car or truck. Even when dead by a bullet they appear prettier than after having been slaughtered by a Dodge Caravan driven by a Soccer Mom with a van full of kids. Or, would that be a dead Soccer Mom and a van full of dead Kids? Hopefully not your kids. Not very pretty, that... Reality is hard and it is harsh. But, Reality is what it is. Do what is simple. Do what is Right....

Belle! Since you haven't heard Cheech and Chong's albums, just think of how much fun you'll have when you listen to 'em! It'll be a blast for ya! And also, maybe you could listen to some of the old "Firesign Theater" albums. "Don't Crush That Dwarf! Hand Me The Pliers!" Do any of you all remember those? "We Are All Bozos On This Bus", and....."In the Beginning there were Hot Lumps. MY faithful companion, Spunky, and I were surrounded by "clamasoids and oysterettes...." :blink:

Spaghetti? Does that mean that you cooked it into the sauce, or did you just sprinkle it on the plateful? I always heard that it was the baking of it that made it so much more potent in the brownies....

Now, wine seems to be just about right. What vintage Tom? And, did y'all ever make bongs? When I was in the business of selling, we'd make up sixteen bamboo bongs per pound ($150.00) and sell each ounce with a "complimentry" bamboo bong, yours to "Enjoy!" My idea. I had transplanted some bamboo roots in my yard when I was eight, and, to the dismay of my father, the damned bamboo took off like mad and made him crazy every springtime because the "runners" would pop up all over the yard! But, by high school, we (my buds and I) had a very good use for that 2" in diameter bamboo...

Now. I have a question: How many of you actually liked the taste of pot brownies? The only thing I liked about the taste of reefer was the smell of an oz when first opened up, and the sweet smell of the smoke at a concert or whatever. But the taste? I didn't like it, but appreciated what it represented at the time. And, s h i t, some friends of mine actually liked the taste of "bong water". Or at least they said they liked it. Yuck!! I sipped some once and said; This stuff tastes like s h it! And hey, did you all ever put anything cool in your bong like Southern Comfort? That made for some nice bong hits to be sure. Once though, a friend of mine put Scope mouthwash in his bong, and not knowing about it, I took a nice big hit of bud and man! 'Bout tore my head off! Didn't like it. Y'all ever put anything different into your bongs besides water?

I only ate pot brownies one time. I was in this merchant marine boot camp situation, and a bunch of my stoner friends came down to see me on visitor's day. We did smoke some that day, but also, this one gal had baked me a tray of brownies. I didn't like the taste, but, a shipmate and I split the brownies after my friends left, and man, I had never been so stoned! It was a different high. I mean, we were stoned! And now that I think of it, what a funny way to describe it: "Stoned". We also called it "slawed", as in man, we were slawed!" What other terms did you guys call it? We would also get "fried", and, everyday in High School was "Frieday"!

Well....Gol Damn! How in the Hell do I get's my damned G-5!! Man, that looks like a fine old time! I speshully liked that quick subliminal foto of that Jim Beam Rye! Hell yeah! Most folks woonta noticed it, but, I sure as hell did! Damn sure! Man, I likes blowin' up s h i t like them fellers was doin, you know it! An shooten the beers? Why, that's one of my favrit pastimes! Thankee Rum Runner! My problem with U is; hows come you drinks Rum? Or, R U jest sellin it? Bein 'Merican like myself, I'd spect you'd drink bourbon! You know, like, from Kaintuck? Anyhoo, thankee fer the fine "Sundance Film Festival Style" film..... Jonny Lingo

The name of the album was "Big Bamboo" or maybe "Big Bambu"*, the brand name of some rolling papers back then. And yes, the album came with an album sized "Big Bambu" rolling paper, and..... I can proudly say that my "buds" and I proudly rolled up a whole OZ. of Mexican weed in it and smoked that damned thing. Yeah, there were six of us who were kind of a "rat pack", and we decided that we had "to do this thing together". And it was wild! Because it was like an inch and a half in diameter, and tons of the smoke came from the burning end, and so, we did a lot of nose hits while the "toker" was hitting on the monstrous joint at the other end. And then it started "conoeing" as joints are prone to do, and so we'd lick it on the "canoed side" to stop the burning there, and in the meantine, seeds were popping and the whole thing was burning alot with ashes and coals falling off and we were so wasted man! We were laughing our butts off! And there were a good number of people there, and the chicks though we Six were so funny! And, I think we were. Everyone got big hits offa that thing. Kind of a thing to do "for posterity". Wish we had taken pictures. Great memories, that! :) :blink: P.S. I'll bet ya someone here could google that album, get the photo and load it here at this thread. Anybody want to try it? I don't know how, bet I'll some of you do... Here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Bambu That's the best I can figure to do...

Sorry for flaming you up there Jerry. I shouldn't have used the words "being ridiculous". Sorry. Jerry, the point is simply this. Nature kills for two reasons. To feed the killer, and to keep the balance. Why is it wrong for humans to also kill for the same two reasons: To eat what is killed, and to keep the balance? And, you are right. We humans can kill in a much more effective and humane manner. But the overall point is that of "killing". Why is this wrong? Opponents to hunting say that is is cruel, and, or, as you say; "uncivilized". And once again, what, we humans are not part of Nature? Are we from Mars? You see, it is just a Belief that the taking of wild game is wrong. Many Vegans believe that meat is not what man was designed to eat, and that killing animals for food is wrong. Well, it is fine for Vegans and others (maybe including yourself) to have these beliefs. But, those beliefs are not my beliefs. And when these activist then try to turn their beliefs into a Law that takes away my right to practice my own beliefs, then we have a problem. I do not appreciate having my right to shoot wild game taken away because someone else has proclaimed me to be "uncivilized". This is a bit off topic (which is the controlling deer populations), but it is very relative, because there is a serious movement to abolish hunting, and many of those who want to abolish hunting are behind the movement to stop controlling the herds via culling via hunting as well. Check out this website http://www.all-creatures.org/cash/index.html Ya know, these people have their beliefs. But they are trying to abolish the practice of my belief, and that is wrong. And, the simplest way to cull the herds is to allow private citizens, sharpshooters trained and licensed to a standard of safety, be able to come into problem areas and cull the numbers with either rifle or bow, and use the meat for their own purposes, or give to those in need. But the Beliefs of others have stood in the way as a road block...

Jerry, You are being ridiculous. The simple answer is to follow Nature's lead, and as predators do, cull the herds by hunting, and if necessary, hire sharp shooters to take out the high numbers of deer in problem areas. This has been done with success in some areas, although not without controversy coming from those who are too soft to see the logic in it. And of course the meat can be donated to the needy. I for one do not hunt for sport, I hunt to fill my freezer. It may interest you to know that I do not even enjoy putting an animal down. It is not a sport to me. But I do enjoy feeding my family with wild game, a food source that I can trust for it's health benefits. I have even set free a number of beautiful trout because I wanted them to live another day and procreate. I love Wildlife. The author of this thread has expressed their dismay at losing yet another vehicle to the overpopulation of the deer in her area. Thank God her husband was not killed. What if your wife or significant other was killed in a wreck caused by a sweet little Bambi in an overly populated area? You might be singing a different tune. As far as using a firearms is concerned, well, I can think of no other humane way to kill a deer, moose, or elk. I witnessed a pack of coyotes killing a mother deer and her fawn out in the Oklahoma Panhandle one time. It was aweful! It lasted an hour, while the Mama deer fought valiantly as the coyotes attacked her and her fawn. She kicked and she fought and she screamed! It was an aweful sight and sound. But, the pack won the day, and had their food for a few days. It was really sad when they grabbed the fawn. I was in a tree house on a creek reading a book in the morning sunshine when this happened. When I heard the ruckus and looked across the creek, I saw the whole thing and it was horrible. But, even though I could have gone to the rescue and chased off the coyotes, I let Nature play it's course, and Let It Be. Sometimes I wish I hadn't it was so aweful. That Mama and Baby Bambi died such a horrible and prolonged death, I was bummed all the rest of the day, and many times afterward, when I let myself think about it. It was Nature. And what, we Humans are not part of Nature? What are we, from Mars? And, it is a complete and total misnomer that the predators out there "only kill the sick, the weak, and the occasionally healthy adult prey animal". Those predators will kill sometimes just for the fun of it and leave the carcasse behind, as do the wolves here in Alaska.

In many areas where there is an over population problem, such as the DC Metro area where I grew up, people who advocate hunting to control the problem are at odds with people who do not want to see the deer shot and killed for a good purpose. It is a controversy that runs into the snag of well meaning but misinformed environmentalists and animal rights groups. In the menatime, the population of deer runs amuck. There is no good reason to stop the hunting of deer in thes eareas, or upping the take on how many deer can be taken by hunters. The only reason that has been given by animal rights groups is one soley based on emotionalism. Here in Alaska, I am allowed four deer. If the previous winter was very mild, then they usually allow one extra deer in one's "game bag". It's called management. Anyway, I have to go, for, I am going deer huntimg over on Douglas Island!

And, where natural predators have been reduced in number, Man, through quality game management should (and in many places does), become the predator to keep things in check. Besides. We are animals too. We didn't come from Mars... And I am sorry, but, "neutering"? That is simply ridiculous. Where in the wilds of Nature do you see Mother Nature "neutering" fellow animals with darts and chemicals? What you do find in Nature is predator's slaughtering fellow animals and gobbling them up.

Moose simply do not get this big. http://www.adfg.state.ak.us/pubs/notebook/biggame/moose.php 1600 1700 pounds max. Still HUGE, and the Alaskan moose is the biggest of the moose, as far as "meese" go. I hit a moose at about 0'dark thirty when returning from Anchorage (from an AC grad weekend-really "walkin" huh? Hah!) on my way home to Kenai. I was fortunate that none of us were injured, and that my 79 Thunderbird received "only" $2000 damage. When I finally got my car under control and went back to shoot the moose and put it out of it's misery, it had walked off! And so, I didn't hit a moose, a moose hit me! And fortunately, he/she didn't come throught the windshield, decapitating us. Moose are way taller than cattle or deer, and because of this, their legs get knocked out from under them, and they slide across the hood of the car with all sixteen hundred pounds coming through your windshield. Fortunately for us, I hit him/her in her hind quarters with my right front end and she glanced off our windshield on the right side, shattering it in front of my wife's face. Scared the crapola out us!!

Now Tom, are you serious or being funny?

Yeah, I just loved it. I was working that day, standing in for a guy on vacation, and rebuilding some hydraulics in our shop. But I did listen to the Pittsburgh game, while catching reports on the various scores. At one point I heard that Dallas was ahead of the 'Skins 12 to 19 in the third. I was bummed, cause the 'Skins haven't been doing too hot this year, and there is nothing worse than the 'Skins losing to Dallas, other than when they lost the Super Bowl to the Dolphins in '72, and then to the Raiders in '83. But there it was again, the Redskins lagging behind the Cowboys who seem to have found a brilliant quarterback in Tony Roma, yet still suffering from the idiotic antics of "T.O.", aka Terrell Owens. Oh geez, what an insult to lose to a team that has a guy who has yet to prove himself worthy of "primadonna-ism", who, after he makes a touchdown, sets the ball down, and lies down and then rests his head on it like a pillow. I mean, Jerry Rice never acted like that, and neither did my all time favorite, Walter Payton, God rest his beautiful soul... But, during the next NFL score update, I learn that the Redskins had tied the game! OMG!! What happened? I wondered. The radio announcer mentioned it, but I had just come back into the shop and didn't get the word as to why. And it was back to the ill fated Steelers game. And then just like magic, the announcer gives the updates and explains that in the last thrity seconds, the Redskins missed a 49 yard FG attempt, and the Cowboys got the ball with good field advantage, and moved the ball down field for a chip shot field goal attempt. Game over. But no! With only seconds to go, the Redskins block the kick, grab the ball, run it back for thirty yards and miraculously, some Cowboy pulls a face mask penaltyon the defensive runner, and the fifteen yard penalty gives the Redskins field position for a field goal with zero time on the clock. But, according to the rules, a game cannot end on a penalty, and so, with zero time on the clock, the field goal kicker gets his second chance and boots a 47 yarder, ending the game at 22 Washington Redskins, 19 Dallas Cowboys! Yeah Baybee yeah!!! But, they barely explained that on the "scores update", and I didn't get it straight till I got home. But man oh man, if the Redskins suck the rest of the season, I'll have had that one enjoyment, seeing the Redskins beat their natural enemy, the Dallas Cowboys!!!

HEY!!! You Go Girl!!! Keep spreading the good word about Alaska!! We had "Halibut Aleyeska" tonight....Yumm!

Hey Dooj! Sounds like my kinda food! Right now I have sweet potatoes (and not yams) baking in the oven, and beef tips over rice waiting to be consumed by my wife and ravenous progeny whenever the hell she gets home from her first day on the job with the State Of Alaska. Looooovvvvve them Sweet Potatoes! And hey; Didja hear the one that Walter Cummins told at PFAL '77? : Ya see, there was Maine Potato, and this Idaho Potato who went and got married. And, one day, they had a little baby! Yeah! And they decided that since their daughter was so sweet and beautiful, that she was a Sweet Potato! Well now. After that Sweet Potato grew up, she came home from college one day and said; "Mom and Dad? I want to tell you something. I'm getting married. And the man I am marrying is named Walter Chronkite! Isn't that wonderful?!?!" Well now. The parents of this Sweet Potato were not convivced, and they said to their little Sweet Potato daughter: Why, you can't marry Walter Cronkit! He's only a "common tater!!!!!" Yeah, Rev Cummins knew how to tell 'em. And ya know, I say "Rev" Cummins, because he was always so damned respectible. He is/was a good man, and one of the things about TWI that I am thankful to remember.....

Hang 'Em High!! Let Him swing for bit!

Wow. It looked like a mahvelous time! And man, that cherry scheese cake looked awesome! I know I would have chosen that one as number ONE. I love cherries! And the cake itself was so beautifull! And Dooj, I did recognixe you! but, I was asking in that one post about which one of those guys was Tom Strange. And then later, someone posted his picture, and I decided surely that even though the caption said it was Tom Strange, it definitely was NOT Tom Strange, because I had not envisioned Tom looking that way at all. And so, sorry my Strange Friend Tom, but that wasn't you...Hah! Well well, I just want to say that you all must have had quite a time, and I am glad that you did. Musta been just plain fine... Love you all so much.... JL

"Whoa whoa woah! Back up a minute! Which one is Tom Strange? I saw the pictures, but they said; "Tom and George discussing the Green Lantern". Which one is Tom, and which George? George St George"? Is Tom the dark haired guy or the other'n? I am thinking Tom is the guy with the dark hair....Tom? And T, you look so happy and blessed! Wish I could be there with y'all! And is there a photo of J? Shoot, the only pic I have of me is this one, twenty eight years ago!! I just don't know how to post the actual pic, try as I might! Anybody? http://www.msnusers.com/nyetribe/shoebox.m...&PhotoID=12

Happy Birthday Craig! And may God bless you and may the eyes of your understanding be enlightened!

Whoa!! That was Amazing!! And, did you all see that photo of that Amazing Sea Monkey Family? That Mom Sea Monkey was hot!!!
