re: Finding a ripe berry patch is one of life's little pleasures.
Posted by pilsnerpusher on 4/21/24 at 5:23 pm
That’s what I did. I bought 3 thornless plants. 4 years later it was a nice big patch. I could let it grow bigger but we get more than enough. Our variety gets about the size of a pecan. We probably pick 7-10 gallon ice cream buckets full every year. We use them in pie, cobbler, or freeze them and u...

re: Anybody have a dog scared of storms?
Posted by pilsnerpusher on 4/10/24 at 8:55 pm
Our sweet little pound mutt is scared of storms and fireworks. She has to be by our side through it and for the next 2-3 hours after.
Our Golden Retriever is oblivious to it all. But then, she’s the same dumbass that is entertained by shiny things and shadows for hours at a time. She does not ch...
re: Weird community names in your current state of residence

D’Lo, Mississippi
A timber company was coming through in the early 1800s looking for a creek to run their sawmill. They found one and showed it to their boss. The boss said it’s too “damn low” but they set up there anyway. They started calling their camp Damn Low. As the community grew they short...

Yep, we burned a lot more calories than kids today.
Not sure when that changed exactly but I was born in 75. Even when I graduated in 93 if you were a guy and didn’t have at least 4 pack abs then you were considered fat and it’d probably be best if you kept your shirt on around the girls....

Fun fact: Urine was collected from southern women during the American Civil War for its trace amounts of Urea and Ammonia for the purposes of making black powder. So it was collected at a production level capacity at one point. ...
re: beautiful shot of the surface of mars from the curiosity rover
Posted by pilsnerpusher on 3/26/24 at 8:54 pm
I’m not an expert by any stretch, but I think the prohibitive factor in sending humans to mars is radiation. We would need a means of shielding them from radiation once they leave earth’s magnetic field. The last I heard the Brits were working on a way to create a magnetic field around a spacecraft...

I applaud your priorities but I believe our detection system would give us 11 minutes notice. 29 minutes from launch to detonation. But we wouldn’t pick up ICBMs until re-entry. That’d be roughly 11 minutes. That is assuming our government let us know as soon as they knew. Still, that potentially gi...

My son found this movie in my old DVD collection when he was 16 and watched. For the next 4 months we quoted lines back and forth. He’s almost 18 now and every now and then when he’s leaving the house he’ll bust out a “so wrong earf-rings!”
Or I’ll walk into his room and he’ll say “ahh naw Hans-a...

They sure are! To the OP: what is the latest prevailing theory on the purpose of the hard point on the red bellied mud snake’s tail? Last I heard it was believed to be a means of pinning slimy prey....

I’m super cheap. I just made my own out of a few 2x4s, 1x6s, plywood, felt, a hasp, and a lock. Built it and stained it in less than a day. ...
re: What Happened to Confederate Leaders After the Civil War
Posted by pilsnerpusher on 3/3/24 at 5:54 pm
Totally off topic but for decades Longstreet was the fall guy for Gettysburg because Lee was untouchable. But the reality is that Lee fell under the timeless trap of believing his accomplished troops could do anything and he eschewed Longstreet’s advice at Gettysburg and then Longstreet had to try t...

That wheelbarrow idea is genius! We had a section of fence that was the strike zone. It was unmarked so more than one argument arose over where the ball hit on the fence....

I was 9. We mostly played backyard football, wiffleball, or basketball. Our other favorite past time was setting up ambushes to slaughter Soviet troops with our green plastic M-16s.
At night our family would eat at the dinner table and afterwards I’d take a swig or two of every beer my dad would...
re: Esteemed doctors of the OT
Posted by pilsnerpusher on 2/15/24 at 8:46 pm
Just start with going to the local doc in a box and getting a steroid dose pack. If you’re fortunate enough that it calms it down and you have a reprieve from the pain for a while, you NEED to understand that it’s only a reprieve. It has bought you time to do 2 things to make sure it doesn’t come ba...

When it comes to talking business speak with conviction and self confidence.
