    He was in a Toyota. Says he feels fine, and that the chiropractor is more of a precaution because he's 72.

    My biggest road fear is being hit by a semi and spinning into the path of the rear wheels and getting ran over like a cutlass in a monster truck rally.

    Blanket statements always trip my trigger. So here is the question the answer is yes or no.
    Would you take an animal out of season or even an endangered animal if it meant feeding your kids?
    No debate needed. Kill it or your kids starve. In many places that is the reality.

    When you need your next white elephant gift...

    This talking Deer Pong game will sass you and tell dad jokes

    [​IMG]

    In what may be the biggest invention since the singing bass fish "Big Mouth Billy Bass," Hasbro Gaming has launched a new game called Deer Pong.

    Deer Pong centers on Bucky the Stag, a talking deer who "doesn't hold back his attitude," according to the product description. Much like in beer pong, players on each team bounce or throw ping pong balls into their team's cups, and keep going until one team's cups are filled.

    Except in this game, there is a deer that will be trash talking you the whole time.

    Bucky's groan-worthy jokes include, "Not fair. I'm an easy target," "Hope your aim's better in the bathroom" and, "Hmm I let you win," along with many other cheeky comments.

    I've seen an Accident scene where this was a suicide method. Drive headon into the tractor unit's rear wheels. It was effective. Almost killed the truck driver though, as he had to jump out of the passenger side of his now burning cab. Started a grass fire, and threatened a small acreage property's home.

    You say no debate needed, however you are taking a targeted response and trying to apply it broadly. That is like comparing stealing bread and peanut butter to a mob of people breaking in store windows and stealing as many Nike shoes, Coach purses, and TVs as they can carry. With that said, I don't hold human life in high regard, kill ALL poachers and looters too.

    That pic of Hilo is kinda unusual, as it's cloudy most of the time. Still great weather.

    That’s illegal hunting and a straw man argument. Poaching is killing an animal for one specific part such as horn or tusk to sell on the black market.

    A straw man (sometimes written as strawman) is a form of argument and an informal fallacy of having the impression of refuting an argument, meanwhile the proper idea of argument under discussion was not addressed or properly refuted. One who engages in this fallacy is said to be "attacking a straw man".

    I had a general idea what that meant, but your usage inspired me to look it up and I thank you.

    True. But mostly it seems to rain for awhile, sunny for awhile, rains for awhile, sunny again. Partly cloudy, full cloudy for days sometimes. Warm and green all the time. That sounds just about right to me.

    You didn't quote my post, so I'm not sure you were directing this at me. I had to look up seppos in the Urban Dictionary.
    Seppo Derogatory word used by the English and Australians for all American nationals. Derived from Rhyming slang (Septic Tank = Yank)
    Is this how you meant it?

    Your definition of the word poaching is much narrower than common usage of the word in the US. It is frequently used even more broadly than the definition I cited above. It is also used to refer to the act of hunting out of season, or in excess of bag limit, regardless of what land the person is on. Essentially everywhere in the U.S. I have been "illegal hunting" = "poaching."

    By-the-way saying, "Fuckin’ seppos reckon everything they think refers to the whole planet" in this case is a bit of the pot calling the kettle black, especially on a forum where most of the members are from the U.S.

    If on the other hand you weren't directing it at me, forget everything I just said.
