I'm thinking the story is legit, but I think the magazine made that picture in their photo lab. The cactus is too damn big for the legs.

Bear Opens Door to Car *Volume Warning*
 
While driving through Yellowstone National Park, this family encountered a bear on the side of the road, so they stopped to say hello and snap some pictures.



Next week he'll be at the lights in the nearest town offering to clean your windscreen for a dollar. :)

All bow before the King Pecker.

Gravdigr 06-20-2016 12:27 PM

I thought that one was this one.

But, I think my pecker may be bigger than yours.

I've been waiting my whole life to say that to someone.

:D

Our peckers are in different places, too, I think. I hope.:cool:

Different times of year, at the least.

xoxoxoBruce 06-20-2016 12:36 PM

Your pecker has evergreens and snow, whereas my pecker has a warmer backdrop.
I demand a peck-off, high noon at... tah da(French horns), The Tree.

Gravdigr 06-20-2016 02:01 PM

Heh, your peck-off reminded me of this.

Woman wakes up to find 16ft python on her bed

Not every wild creature in Australia is out to kill you by lethal sting or venomous bite. Some are benign to the point of only subjecting you to a little light crushing.

Attachment 57140


An Australian woman who woke in the early hours after her table lamp crashed to the floor found a 16ft python curled around her bed.

It is believed the huge scrub python had been living in the walls and ceiling of Trina Hibberd’s house near Cairns for more than a decade.

But on Monday morning – an abnormally cool day in tropical northern Australia – the snake left his hiding place and began to explore Ms Hibberd’s house.

The huge python – estimated to weigh nearly 40kg — slithered along the veranda then up her lounge room wall, flicking the light switch on, onto a painting, and then into a bedroom, where it knocked over the lamp.

Julie Birrell, who was staying with Ms Hibberd, raised the alarm.

“All hell broke loose,” said Ms Hibberd, of the unscheduled 4.30am wake-up call.

The women filmed the snake sprawled across the house, stretching across the lounge room wall and into the bedroom. They called a professional snake catcher after locking the snake in the bedroom.

While the snake’s awakening was dramatic, it was not the first time it had made an appearance.

Ms Hibberd said she first saw it 15 years ago, when it poked its head into the bathroom when she was having a shower, and had nicknamed it Monty.

“We knew the snake was around but I had never seen it inside, not that I know of,” she said. “I’ve never seen it in its full length.”

Monty was still in the bedroom when Dave Goodwin, the snake catcher, arrived.

“We walked into the bedroom and it was hanging from the curtain drapes down to the bedside table — and that was only a third of him,” Mr Goodwin said.

“It was a good monster. We locked ourselves in the bedroom and grabbed him around the neck. He coiled around my arm but we managed to put him a container.”

It is the second biggest snake Mr Goodwin has seen in his career.

Monty was released into a local water treatment plant at Mission Beach which backs onto native bushland.

Whatever was in park warden Barrie Shoare’s van was enough to keep this fox intrigued while he took this picture. Mr Shoare, from south London, said: “I have never seen a fox act like that.”
Urban foxes rarely look as healthy as their country cousins as they are very prone to sarcoptic mange.

This animal appears to be in good condition and it's probable that it came from Mr Shoare's park.

Altogether a nicer neighbourhood for Vulpes vulpes than the industrial areas and railway embankments where they are usually found.

On my way back from the beach this morning, I saw a frog that was no more than a half inch long going just as fast as he could to get to the grass.

Oh man, you do not fuck around with raccoons. Vicious little bastards, and their claws are super sharp. They like to make nests in people's attics, around here.

My friend in Nova Scotia on vacation was driving down a gravel road and saw this monster.

glatt 07-28-2016 08:39 AM

Ok. I lied. I found that picture online and it's a hiking trail, not a road.

But the lack of scale in the picture make this seem scary big. Am I right? That looks like a road, not a path.

So the Mrs and I bought a house last month. It's probably one of the oldest structures in the county (Johnson County, KS, part of metro KC), as Johnson County didn't explode with people until the mid-20th century. It's 90 years old and in one of the older suburbs...there's some interesting hodgepodge housing going on over here.

We're on half an acre abutting a creek and some woodlands...it's very nice. And yet, just across the creek is Interstate 35...and IKEA.

This is the view from my office, where I generally converse with you folks:

glatt 08-20-2016 04:19 PM

Looks really nice!

elSicomoro 08-20-2016 04:24 PM

I love it. It's so weird to me...in a good way. You have this old farm house surrounded by some newer houses and older dwellings. Then there is the nursing home at the end of the block. Then we have the creek, the trail and the park next to us. Then across the creek is downtown Merriam. Then across the highway is IKEA and a couple of shopping centers. At night, you hear the cicadas...and the trains...and the highway. Mostly the cicadas. :)

captainhook455 08-20-2016 07:03 PM

I have been lucky enough to have lived in two farmhouses. One had a large barn ( Jersey) pack house ( NC) with all kinds of treasures within. Old is good too.

Hi tarheel,

Welcome. Did that NC one have one of those old tobacco drying buildings on the property?

These folks left us a bunch of wood...it's not usable for firewood, so I'm not sure what we're going to do with it!

Eventually, I'd like to insulate it and create studios (music and painting) for the family. I do the former, the wife and son do the latter.

I have a friend that works at a jail, and he snapped this outside the jail last night...the jail is between an industrial and residential area in a large city. He calls them trash pandas.

Thanks. I am Lumber Jim's step pappy. He is 45 and I am 63. You are talking about a tobacco barn. Many have been restored into someone's party house. A pack house is a large barn with a drive through the middle.

Weird? Not weird. I just think shits funny that others don't think is so funny. Besides I am the only normal person on the planet. Now if you will excuse me I have to shave the hair off the palm of my hand.

captainhook455 08-26-2016 09:12 AM

The first farm house with the pack house was built on a hill next to a swamp. Strange thing was we were never bothered with knats or mosquito. Hurricane Fran came by and a black bear slept in the ivy outback for a week. Everyone had a throw away cat threw them out here. It is Ok everybody needs an extra cat. Snakes was why we moved. I was mowing the grass and there was a curled up rattle snake dead with Goodyear tire tread permanently embedded where my wife parked the night before.

Went out to check our barn this morning...we got a hell of a deluge here in Kansas City last night. No flooding from the creek...but lots of cicadas hanging out.

captainhook455 09-01-2016 06:14 PM

Helluva flood in Fla. Have to pray for them. Storm is coming our way. Right over the house. I am out in the country. Goodbye cantaloupes. We don't get the flood like in town. Build without checking the elevation. Reroute the creeks. I worry about some of the members I know who also live in the path of this storm. Pray for each other. Amen.
