Grumpy Euros engaging in gratuitous bumping makes me suspicious.

Not as bad as Potatos au Grotain (sp?). My gag reflex kicks in at the mere thought.

I can't eat MREs there is something about them that does not agree with me. When in training we used to get them on occasion. It wasn't really the flavor that was the problem, it was the fact that i couldn't tell the difference between the meatloaf and the lasagna. [:D]

Plus, they REALLY don't agree with me.

Terminus;
What are you planning on doing for the summer now that your exams are over.

[BrucePowers]

Are MRE's and that freeze dried stuff you see in the camping stores anything alike?

i think the pork patties were freeze dried. Some of the other stuff was as well (some fruit) - at least it used to be. i have a few crates of the new ones as emergency supplies, but haven't tried them yet.

I was just curious. I here about them here or on the news. I understand a lot of them went to the Gulf Coast after Katrina.

I whole heartedly agree. Normally I believe in live and let live, but with young grandchildren around on occasion I would be proactive. A shotgun should do the job nicely.

Growing up in Houston, or rather the bayous nearby, we saw these on and off and knew better than to ever go into the water. They are indeed extremely aggressive.

If my grandmother were still alive I would just send her over. See killed rattlesnakes on a regular basis with her garden hoe right up to the ripe old age of 90. [:D]

Well, normally the Grandchild is about 1500 miles away - this was the first (but not last) visit.

So far i have not seen the snake - just pics. i have looked. i did see something (i was told) was a Yellow-Bellied Water Snake (non-poisonous).

My wife is freaked by snakes and would *probably* like to see me "take them out"... [:D]

"Good" snakes would help keep down the mouse problem. They're as good or better than cats, because they can get places cats wont go.

Cats don't kill people. Neither do mice for that matter.

There is no such thing as a "Good snake". Kill the damn thing already.

Well, i've been looking for it, but it has been making itself scarce...

They are the same principal. Next time I try one though I'm going 100% organic. I think its the preservatives they probably put in the meals that give me a hard time.

For my next evil, diabolical plan I shall steal Mr. rtrapasso's mojo. MUWAHAHAHAHA...MUWHAHAHAHAHA...MUWHAHAHAHA

To quote from another thread on the forum, WTH is "soccer"? It's FOOTBALL! And I'm not a fan, BTW, but there's nothing else on TV these days...

Sounds very likely. Lots of folks have reactions to all the preservatives we get in our foodstuffs these days...

I just saw Paris Hilton's music video on MTV. It was the same sort of horrified fascination that makes people gawk at car crashes. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go claw my eyes out, and then shoot myself in the head.[X(]
