Jim Alfredson Posted November 26, 2003 Report Posted November 26, 2003 No word on any capture, and there probably won't be any, but this morning I went out to my car and there was a young doe standing there watching me. Life goes on. If I were you I'd write a letter to John Sneider at the State Journal and let him publicly and verbally flog whoever did this. I'm sure he'd have a field day. Quote

Joe G Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Posted November 27, 2003 That idea occurred to me too Jim, thanks for reminding me. Quote
Joe G Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Posted November 27, 2003 (edited) Just fired off an email to John. If anyone is wondering, John Schneider is a popular columnist at the Lansing State Journal who often gives space in his columns to consumers who have been wronged by a business, or by anyone who has a legitmate beef of some sort. He is also known for making follow-up to these businesses, or to the police, and that often gets results. I'll keep everybody posted about his response. Edited November 27, 2003 by Joe G Quote
AfricaBrass Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 Joe, I took care of that poacher for you. I don't think the deer have anything to worry about now. Quote
Joe G Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Posted November 27, 2003 I'll be damned...that looks like Ted Nugent!!! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 That is the Nuge! I couldn't think of any other hunters.... Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 The Nuge wouldn't poach. Especially on Joe's property. He's too easily recognized, what with the chorus of "Cat Scratch Fever" blaring out of his van. Besides, Joe would just challenge him to a Riff-a-thon and blow him away with his death metal licks and high-voltage, Iron Maiden screams!!! YEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Quote
AfricaBrass Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 (edited) I would LOVE to see the Nuge vs. Joe lick-a-thon! Ted would be looking for his crossbow, so he could shoot his guitar and put himself out of misery. Edit: So I'm still a little TICKED off at Ted about his comments about Jerry Garcia...

AfricaBrass Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 Isn't he in your neck of the woods? Quote
Joe G Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Posted November 27, 2003 He lives about 45 minutes south of here. Haven't you heard? He's running for the Governorship of Michigan. Quote
AfricaBrass Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 He lives about 45 minutes south of here. Haven't you heard? He's running for the Governorship of Michigan. I thought you were joking, but I just checked his website. Arrrgh! I have a bad feeling that in the future, the job of Governor will serve the same function that the Love Boat did in the 1970's for has-been celebrities. It was the only job they could get. Quote
Jim Alfredson Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 The truly frightening thing is he probably will win. Quote
Free For All Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 the job of Governor will serve the same function that the Love Boat did in the 1970's for has-been celebrities. ....and future celebrity politicians. Don't forget Fred "Gopher" Grandy's foray into the political arena. He had some title in Iowa I don't recall- is he still active in politics? Quote

JSngry Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 I would LOVE to see the Nuge vs. Joe lick-a-thon! You must realize that by me reading this thread from the bottom up, I had no idea what this meant, and was thinking the worst possible things... Quote

Joe G Posted November 27, 2003 Author Report Posted November 27, 2003 Indeed. I would have forfeited if it came down to that. Quote
Jazzmoose Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 I'll be damned...that looks like Ted Nugent!!! I was thinking Ted myself. A young, sober Ted Turner. Okay; that's a contradiction in terms, but you know what I mean... Quote
Brad Posted November 27, 2003 Report Posted November 27, 2003 That's a pretty unbelievable story. Where I live we have tons of deer, it's now a semi country sort of place but it's also residential and to have people shoot into your yard is goddamn dangerous. Around here, they have hunts organized by the authorities to reduce the deer population but I just can't stop from thinking that we're the ones poaching on their property. I realize that they can be a danger at times -- only a couple of years ago they ran into a car and killed two people in the process but still. Last week, I was taking a load of leaves to the back of our property and I turned around and out of the bushes came about 15 or 16 deer just passing through. It was a site to behold, I can tell you. Most of them didn't look at me (they were about 50 feet away) except for the last one. She stooped and looked at me (and I at her) for about 10 seconds and then ran to join her friends. Quote

Was someone wearing sandals? I just guess I'm being a little sensitive this week. "I wish I had a heart like ice" -Donald Fagen. Just work situations. I hate where I have to work sometimes. Because of the people there. But I know it's just a matter of perspective. If I'm annoyed or hurt by people's actions or words, that's MY own problem. How I choose to react is up to me. That's what I need to work on. But fuck, it makes me sick (physically ill) sometimes. ------------------------------------------- "Don't wear sandals" cuz Bob sed so... Quote
patricia Posted November 28, 2003 Report Posted November 28, 2003 It occurred to me that when the world was created, everything was in perfect balance. The animals survived, or not, according to nature and evolution culled the herd over time. Of course the stronger animals preyed on the weaker ones, but not for fun, but for survival. On the sixth day, according to Genesis, God created Man. It seems to me that that could be equated to the last card on a house of cards; you know, the one that causes the whole thing to collapse. So, in a way, the sixth day's work by God, which caused disruption of a perfect creative effort by the Almighty, is the best case for a five-day workweek that I can think of, offhand. Terrible thing, Joe. I'd be furious too. Quote
