SOrry the Marlin Perkins ref was too outdated. He was our David Attenborough until he died in the mid 80s.
He was a naturalist and host of "Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom".
It was a Sunday staple in most households.

His sidekick was Jim Fowler. Jokes abounded (Carson comes to mind) of Marlin saying things like "I'm going to wait here with my martini, while Jim goes out to catch the wily alligator."

Ridiculous.

You want ALL the rednecks in one place on Sunday afternoon? That's where they are.

That's gotta fuck up Nascar!

I could go broke in one of those places. We have Bass Pro, very similar stores, I think.

You've been here long enough to know. Dwellars prefer porn targeted to their specific market. :D

What would that market be? Midget dolphins in tartan and swim flippers with tats depicting pagan high festivals playing bass?

I always assumed it was other Dwellars. But yours sounds fun too. :D

HungLikeJesus 06-24-2010 06:05 PM

I thought she was describing other dwellars.

squirell nutkin 06-24-2010 07:33 PM

Midget sharks, but whatever.

Cicero 06-24-2010 07:39 PM

I thought it involved whales? :)

Cabella's should have kegs and big screen TVs around the store. That and free fire crackers would ensure a redneck monopoly.

ANOTHER TORNADO WARNING! This time we were at pottery, no basement there, so felt justified in just staying indoors and ignoring it :lol:

HungLikeJesus 06-27-2010 04:00 PM

Quick! Make a ceramic tornado shelter!

monster 06-27-2010 04:03 PM

hehehe

piercehawkeye45 06-27-2010 05:54 PM

Yesterday the tornado sirens went off while I was at my friend's wedding reception at a country club. No basement so they moved us to the bar on the first level...:facepalm:

Shawnee123 06-28-2010 07:52 AM

If there is a tornado warning I can't hear it: though I can hear the cops at the shooting range all day every weekend and I can hear the St Drunky's church festival music...once the rain and wind start I get no noise from town.

Last night...CRACK BOOM lightning hit the pole almost right in front of my place. Lost electric. It was the COOLNESSNESS.

edit: even if I could hear the tornado sirens there is absolutely no where to go, so I just sit and thrill in the danger. ;)

HungLikeJesus 06-28-2010 07:59 AM

Does that mean you lost Cellarness also?

Shawnee123 06-28-2010 08:03 AM

I DID! I couldn't even report in that I was sitting in darkness, that the end might be nigh.

I couldn't post that "if'n the tornado revolution come, it was nice making y'all's acquaintances, and I'll see you on the flip side." :lol:

I watched them fixing the electric. I thought "this must be what people did for entertainment, before electric, watched the electric guys fix the...wait, that isn't logical."

monster 06-28-2010 08:49 AM

shawnee, are you sure it just hit the pole? :lol: glad you're OK

Shawnee123 06-28-2010 08:58 AM

If anyone has the bad luck to be hit by lightning sitting in my own home, it would be me. It explains a LOT, if you think about it. :p:

That's cause you're so attractive :blush:

Shawnee123 06-28-2010 09:32 AM

Aw shucks! :o

My dad has told me a couple times that if my luck ever changes for the better it'll have to be really good!

I don't really believe in luck except that the laws of coincidences say that there are people who can't get a break no matter how hard they work for it and those who get tons of breaks while doing nothing much at all, as far as the extremes.

So I'll either get hit by lightning or win a bunch of money. Either way, I'm good with it. :p:

monster 06-28-2010 09:34 AM

or win a bunch of money then get hit by lightning?

Shawnee123 06-28-2010 09:36 AM

Now THAT sounds about right. Think how famous I'll be for like 15-20 minutes (can't I get an extra 5 of fame?) and how many forum's "weird news" threads I'll make!

monster 06-28-2010 10:45 AM

We'll all be laughing and pointing. Even yo mama. from her 9/11 grave. while jumping the ghost dolphin

jinx 06-28-2010 10:48 AM

Only her unblemished finger will be left...

Which you won't even be sorry about.

hmmmph. See if any of you all get any gifts from the lightning bunny.

monster 06-28-2010 11:03 AM

...but we'll come up with a good recipe for it. involving bacon.

monster 07-23-2010 06:08 PM

guess where we are.........

dive meet got cancelled :( ...but at least Thor won the 8Uboys before that happened :D

xoxoxoBruce 07-23-2010 07:26 PM

Uh... in the trophy room? :haha:

Getgo 07-23-2010 07:47 PM

Turned out to be a normal day here minus the overcast. Lets see what tomorrow brings.

monster 07-23-2010 08:14 PM

no, the trophies are still upstairs, but the old ribbons are down there....

back in the above-ground land of freaky-weird sunsets now.
