That's like a dealt out punishment. You haven't paid enough attention to me lately. Sucks to be you.

Kind of reminds of my wife at times. Get home to utter chaos, with somebody mad at you for no apparent reason.

Ahhh… Grasshopper.. There IS a reason; you just haven't discovered it yet.
With men friends, you know in 20 seconds what somebody did that pissed them off. The offense is acknowledged, apologized, done with and forgotten.
With women, it's like a game of chess...……….

Yeah, I know. Been married 21 years. I can be in trouble with the wrong look or grunt.

There are subtler signals than those.

42 years come April 16th

...and the chess pieces all have moves with which you are unfamiliar....

41 years here in a few days.....

...and the chess pieces all have moves with which you are unfamiliar....

So it goes like this;

Pawns move all forward until the they are captured. Except for the ones flanking the queen.

A rook only moves in vertical and horizontal on even days of the month all other times it not allowed to move unless it's in the queens way.

The Knight moves over one up two during AM or over two up one during PM. The queen reserves the right to change this as any moment.

Bishop only moves on diagonals and it has to be on Sunday otherwise it doesn't move.

The king only moves after the queen moves or has permission from the queen to move.

The queen can move as many times as it wants during those 8 days of the month or it can suspend play for the duration of that period.

If the opponent takes out the queen the game stops for a shot and a beer. All rules revert to normal.

If you take out the queen, you can enjoy a couple of beers with your pawns.
Then the next day you're effectively castled, and all hell breaks loose......

 

[CKuhns]

LOL and... no rules apply are followed or even understood unless the Queen grants permission first. (40 years and counting.) Cant believe she has put up with me this long...

Best answer to date... "Yes Dear" (best advice my Dad ever gave me.)

When i drove up with a new motorcycle without discussing it with her first. She asked whats that? I said "its a motorcycle", and went inside and popped a beer. (One of our better days!)

Unless it puts the mortgage in jeopardy, cars are special-cased, imo.
fwiw, over our 42 years I bought 11 cars. All without prior notification.
Seven of them were for me, the rest for the Spousal Unit.
She's always been a total knock-over for new wheels

Cheers!

My wife would have killed you after the first car. I once did that with her old crappy cell phone. She about blew a gasket.

A bear that size, you better have the front sight filed off so it’ll hurt less when the bear shoves it up your rear. Not saying it’s not a huge gun, but for a bear that big, you’re going to want a rifle chambered in .375 H&H.

Not starting a debate, rather more like the Masshole thread, where it’s said tongue in cheek. Please fire back so to speak.

While I like the .375 H&H it is rather a pain to carry around. If I were to carry a rifle in bear country it would be leaver action in 45-70 loaded hotter than factory loads. But regardless, as long as a reasonable caliber it all boils down to shot placement.

Better yet, use the buddy system. You only need to carry a .22 As long as it can slow your buddy down to slower than you, all is good

Certainly, one could argue that the recoil induced by a 45-70 lends itself to better shot placement. Additionally, the HEAVIER lever action Winchester 1886 45-70 (9.5lbs.) would reduce felt recoil. Conversely, the Winchester model 70 Alaskan is 8.8 lbs. and a little easier to carry. Better be able to get the job done though. You only have 3 rounds.

I bet what was used for attitude adjustment could be it's own thread.
One Principle had something that looked like a solid mash paddle with the words "Board of Education" on it.

Anytime is a good time to work on your magic tricks.

 

[nobadays]

^^ It was my shop teacher! Sounds like the same paddle... he could lift your feet right off the floor! Heck that would get him fired today and make headlines on CNN!

Now there's a guy who gets up at the butt crack of dawn.

 

[ba-brewer]

I was thinking there is a guy with too much time on his hands

I was watching hoping to see the guy kick out the blocks and catch the glasses.

Love the little Kung Fu pose at the end...
Hope his wife doesn't serve dinner on that tablecloth. Somebody's gonna think it's the starter salad that's full of ass........

Seems like the kind of guy who might be single - for a long time.

Brew on

Oh yea!
I could not count the amount of those wooden spoons my mom would break over my ass!

She later switched to bar soap, however I think I preferred the wooden spoon discipline. [emoji848]

I thought I was smart and would break those wooden spoons before my mom could break them over my butt. Well then she pulled out the metal spatula and used that instead. That wasn’t smart on my end.

Similar to what my folks had:

Oh, that’s not good!

My revenge back to the wooden spoon was to tuck a large rubber snake on top of the sun visor in Mom’s car so when she pulled the visor down it would land on her lap.
Hindsight, probably not a good idea since mom was the one driving! She always keep the car between the lines! [emoji41]

CSB: My dad had a wooden-handled suede brush, about 12" long. He had it hanging from a hook inside the coat closet. We'd get the back side of that brush across our back sides if we misbehaved. Before long, Dad didn't have to even use it. If we did something stupid, he would simply walk over and open that closet door. That was enough to instill a healthy dose of fear in us. Pavlov's kids.

That's why they call it rearing a child.

After Dad died, I found that brush in a box of his stuff. I now have it, but don't have anyone around to use it on. I actually use it to brush lint off jackets.

How about just sitting with it on your front porch with a cooler of beer? Gran Torino style!
Stay off my lawn! [emoji23]
Few more years and that will be me..
