So you don't want me to tell you the ending?

My guess about PETA is... SB ads are EXPENSIVE!!!! Basically, they just made this ad (throw in some half naked ladies and some vegetables) and they are getting WAY more publicity over it with less money spent and they are STILL making a point. Everyone wants to see the BANNED ad because it MUST be naughty... and people are generally naughty... secretly naughty.

 

small time stuff... hum, no dead bodies, no drug ring???
A witch hunt? a human sacrifice? ugh...

a Snake forum, like snakes? like slithering things? seriously???????????

 

really good point on this, their marketing department is good if that is the case, because it was all over the news and everyone has been googling it.... so they got the advertisment without paying the 1 million$$$

Cabwy, do you give you dogs rawhide bones? that is one thing that gets blocked in their intestines and would cause them also not to go. I took thistle to the vet about 6 months ago that she just wasn't asking right and the mentioned that but wasn't her issue. I do give them to her but i keep and eye that she doesn't rip off too big of a piece. We also cook and give her soup bones but when she breaks them open they go right into the trash, don't want somehting like that lodged.

Cabway i wish i lived a little closer to you, i would sit with him also for you!!!

 

Yeah... snakey snakes. The person got mad because someone didn't like "his" snake and did the typical Apple response of "Fine you don't like my snake" kind of thing and then didn't really come back to the forum. Although I must say that offering a free Mini and getting all uppity because someone that was promised it and actually WANTS it is pretty stupid. But that's how she rolls, I guess.

 

yup that sounds like her style, but how did you find that, are you into snakes?

 

Hey, gun smuggling isn't "small time" is it?? WOW - if it's not, I don't wanna live where YOU do!

Wassss it voodoo or ritual sacrifice?

 

I'm just getting started...

 

Wholly Cow!! I'm in 5th Gear now...1004 Posts!!

 

Just searching "Cybergypsy"... looking for common writing styles, etc... guess that would be considered "profiling"? Actually I don't like snakes at all. Kill first- ID later. Probably PETA will be all over my *** later for that one!
Actually eating it while I type. Box looks almost the same too! And my "beer"- Diet A&W is my favorite.

 

I've always wanted to use that dancing voodoo guy too but never had the chance. Thanks!

I actually live in a pretty good place. The irony of it all is that it is NOT a dangerous place.

My dog(s) Jackie and my cat George (just started calling him Jorge today for some reason) are both like vultures while I type. I weighed George/Jorge yesterday and he's just 4 oz shy of 20 lbs. Maybe I'll get my 30lb cat after all! (BTW- he is NOT fat at all.)

 

HYSTERICAL! And I just looked at your join date... compared to mine!

I think I will be banned from here soon... the husband is going to do the banning!

 

wow... my post count sucks. haha. But I post a lot of technical stuff, and technical questions in new threads. Maybe I should hang out in here more.

 

The trailer park is from her GPS video (sadly no longer available) and unless she was just "cruising" I think thats her latest home (unless you count Key West). Here's some map coordinates: 29°13’28”N 82°03’36”W

I've heard it is easy to fake things on the internet.

 

Well, don't totally agree with that, but then most of the bad snakes in my area makes noise to tell you to back away. You all in the South have them "silent but deadly types".

 

haha. Not exactly close to Travolta's house. Looks more like where she would live.

 

Right there with you, I don't care what PETA says on that one!!!

 

ugh, hubby just got called into work!
now i'm here by myself at my own NON SuperBowl party.
so much food, so little time!!

 

Go Cardinals

 

CRIME FIGHTING COOPER… the LAST of the MINI SERIES

It had been such a long and crazy day with all of the renovation work and the excitement of the “Pizza Gone Wild” gig. And although we had no idea why those people were in the woods we understood that however disappointing… at least we TRIED to do the right thing.

As mentioned, we were in our PJ’s and were reheating the pizza. THE PHONE RINGS… I answer, “Hello?”. A man’s voice on the other end says, “Is this MINIOLA?”… “Yes”, I answer. The voice says, “This is Detective Dingleberry with the Sheriff’s Department… I was the one that you met with earlier.” (OK… so real names not used but I am Miniola and his name actually sounded like Detective Dingleberry). Detective Dingleberry (who seems almost a bit giddy) says, “You know how you were so insistent on having someone check in the woods?”. I said, “Yeah”. He replies, “Well, first I have to tell you that you have GOOD INSTINCTS!”.

I am a bit shocked. First, I wasn’t expecting a phone call and second, it didn’t seem like he even saw anything remotely out of the ordinary when he drove through… which was the reason why we left. I reply to the Detective… “So you found something?!?” and he says, “OH YEAH… you could say that!”. OMG!!!! I am totally dying to know. “So what did you find?” I ask. “We found a CAR!”. I’m trying to contain myself at this point… “Oh my GOD… you found A CAR? What’s a CAR doing down there?”. Then I get this sick feeling in my stomach like there’s someone dead or dying in it… hopefully I was able to have someone get there in time. He says, “We have additional officers on the scene right now and it’s being towed out as we speak!”.

This was a big break for the Sheriff’s Department… I was told, "It was the lead that we needed.". As I said before, this one twisty road is dark and it doesn’t get much traffic. It splits my neighborhood from the “Country Club”. Lots of new building was going on in the Country Club and in our neighborhood as well. Multi- million dollar homes were being built and as we all know… some people have more money than they know what to do with. And lots of people with that much money actually live in more than one home which leads to at least one home being vacant for some period of time.

I had remembered some stories about thefts and break-ins and when I lived in the other house (the one that we were renovating to sell… about a mile down the road) I could recall some nights when helicopters were flying really low around the houses in big circles… they had no lights on and I had no clue who they were and what they were doing (other than pissing me off). Before that, a few years earlier, there had been some publicity in another area where there were the “Dinner-time Burglars”. Usually, these expensive homes were staked by thieves and when owners left to go out to dinner they’d come home to find their big glass doors busted out and thousands of dollars in jewelry and other expensive items gone.

So although we didn’t necessarily have the “Dinner-time Burglars”… we had a few homes on our street that had been broken into where tens of thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, electronics and such had been stolen. Those break-ins that we knew about had happened during the middle of the day! This was quite awhile before my “chase” took place and I thought it had all been resolved. Apparently there were burglaries still going on but they were happening to vacant homes in the evening. (?)

When I talked before about regrets for “not getting involved”… I actually remember the day that those burglaries on my street took place. I had not been in my new house long and I was working in the office. I saw two guys (teenagers?) walking down my street and they both had baggy clothes and hooded sweatshirts on. One had a backpack. Seemed too early for any kids to be out of school but I figured they were just “skipping” or something. Whatever, right? I didn’t feel the need to call the cops for that. But that was the day that the burglaries took place!

WHAT WAS THAT CAR FOR? Well, as the Detective explained to me… this was their STORAGE area for everything they were stealing! It was an “in between” drop point of sorts… short path into the woods to drop off… come back later to pick up. The cops knew that people’s homes were still being burglarized… Detective Dingleberry said, “But WE COULDN’T FIGURE OUT how the burglars were getting in and out of the neighborhoods without being spotted by anyone!”. (Ummm… maybe telling people in the neighborhood would have gotten more attention?) I was told that although they had a suspect… they hadn’t had the PROOF to link him to it. Turns out that the car that was left in the woods was registered to the BROTHER of this punk they had suspected! There was the connection they needed for a search warrant! BUSTED!

I tell Detective Dingleberry that I’m really glad that all this wasn’t for nothing and he replies, “I’ll tell you what… you can be my partner ANY DAY!”. As soon as we got off the phone, we had to go SEE for ourselves. Pizza reheating was put on hold and in our PJ’s we jump in the other car and go back to the road. There is a security guy waiting there. YEAH! We drive past him and sure enough… lots of lights on… lots of cops and the tow truck is hauling this car up and over the bank. It was too cool! We decided to go out the other way and there was a security guy sitting there too. OH how I wished that BLUE CAR would go back in there! But we were more than content with the outcome.


Moral of this big long MINI SERIES… NEVER underestimate the power of these “little” cars and the crazed MINIacs that own them!

Love,
Miniola

 

FANTASTIC STORY, WAY TO GO OLA!!!!

THANKS FOR KEEPING ME COMPANY and now my mom just showed up and i won't be alone!!!

thanks!!!!

 

Oh, thank YOU my little cheerleader!
Glad you're not alone now. I'm gonna check out for a bit... my fingers feel like crab claws!

 

I can never remember the little rhyme... red touches black- look out jack? friend of jack? red touches yellow- look out fellow? mellow fellow?

Fortunately I don't see them often... so I'm not much of a killing machine.

We had this harmless looking baby snake by my poolside door and it was very aggressive and jumping at us. It was about 10" long and I put a stick down near it to push it away from the dog and I. Glad I was able to get to it before the dog. It was a pygmy rattlesnake and it had little fangs with whitish liquid coming out! I've seen the BIG rattlesnake in the road once and it was around 5-6 feet long but it was REALLY THICK! Like the size of my forearm thick.

 

Looks that way!


Key West... pppppfffftttt. Whatever.
