Don's traveling circus

I have rudimentary knowledge of Papua New Guinean pigeon so I understood you perfectly big pella.

Also on the menu in Cairo Hotels and fine dining establishments - especially stuffed!

“Since the dawn of time, Egyptians have believed that pigeons give them vigour for performing on their wedding night,”

Lil Mikey has no idear about what that means, but he thought it interesting!

We used to catch a mongoose or two just about every time we went out on maneuvers, especially if we were anywhere near cane fields. It was always a good time to sneak one into somebody's tent late at night while they were asleep. The first sergeant was always a prime target. We'd catch the mongoose with the old ammo box supported by a stick with a puddle of C rations underneath. When the time was right, shake that box and get the mongoose all riled up, then quietly unzip the tent and slip it in. Then sit back and watch. We didn't need old white ladies or feathered raptors neither one.

Now that's not something you hear about every day!

At Law Hall at A&M we used skunks and deployed them into our neighboring dorm - ah the good times! Panty raids were better (they were more effort as they were across campus), but the skunk sorties were kinda fun - especially watching the quick evacuations of the city kids turning green!

Ask your wife what vigor in the bedroom means, I bet she's ready to stick I pigeon up something...

Lil Mikey still don't understand! How could a pigeon get married much less dance/act or otherwise performing means anything about vigor?

Maybe Ozzy should explain about pigeons....

And in Pennsylvania on I-70 near the state line at West Virginia, a day or two after hunting season opens, they're like Street Pizza's. One dead deer about every 20-30 feet it seemed. Almost as many in Hill Country, Texas, too. ........... Jerry (in Tucson)

I know! One of those road patties got a tire of mine whilst travelling west shortly after 911. Stopped for breakfast, came out, flat tire...cause...bone fragment in tire. Called AAA to fix the tire, they said 3 hours...called the Po Po and told them I was one of them and travelling through and they had a truck there in 30 minutes

In Hawaii I had the same problems with tourists feeding birds in the restaurant while other tourists got really passed there were do many birds in our outdoor restaurant. I wanted to scream at the ones feeding them.

While stationed in Turkey on a Turkish AFB in the mid 80's there were always a ton of pigeons on the roof to our dorm. At least every two weeks at the chow hall the Turks, who did the cooking (contractors), would serve Cornish hen...couldn't help but wonder as you looked on the roof if you were eating hen or pigeon

So, what exactly are you saying...your wife has to stuff a pigeon up somewhere in order to get vigor into the bedroom

In high school in Panama at least once or twice a year someone would set a big iguana loose in the hallway. Poor lizards had zero traction on the tile floors. Lots of screaming and yelling and not much of anyone doing anything about it. Finally either Coach Palumbo, my dad or one of us local brats would go catch it and take it back outside. Not always the easiest thing...big iguanas will whip you with their tail and it hurts, seen it bloody a dogs nose. And they do have teeth.

My daughter-in-law didn't care much for my childish comment but my son thought it was hilarious. Hit the laughing button if you're as um, "observant" as I was regarding the decorations.

 

[ripjack13]

There's the "vigor"....

Well, he is a boy!

Well, he is a boy!

He is a RATCLIFF!

I recently spent $6,500 on a young registered Black Angus bull.
I put him out with the herd but he just ate grass and wouldn't
even look at a cow. I was beginning to think I had paid more for
that bull than he was worth. Anyhow, I had the Vet come and
have a look at him. He said the bull was very healthy, but possibly
just a little young, so he gave me some pills to feed him once per day.
The bull started to service the cows within two days… all my cows!
He even broke through the fence and bred with all of my neighbor's cows!
He's like a machine!
I don't know what was in the pills the Vet gave him ... but they kind of taste like peppermint.

Is the circus in Hilton Head?
