17. You don't think Ted Kennedy has an accent
18. You have never planned your summer vacation around a gun-n-knife show

I think you are funny. I love the post

Everyone, feel good and thank your lucky stars that you are not in California like goode sire Radioman here.

My kids just asked me tonight what a polecat is. Can someone enlighten me? Is it along the same lines as a civet cat?

Big Guns,

I was with you until you got to the part about wearing pink an aplikay and I don't think there are any subways in Michigan other than the sandwich shops.

[:D]  It's a skunk.

For a short period of time when I lived in Ohio we lived on what used to be a farm.  We just had a nice big house with a couple of small buildings and a pretty big barn.

There were one or more ground hogs that had started to tunnel under the barn.  If you’ve seen a fallen barn that’s one of the main causes.

So, I set a leg trap for the ground hog and went to school the next morning.  My grand parents were visiting and when I got home from school my grandpa was telling me about having to get this polecat out of the barn.  It took me a minute to realize that I had trapped a skunk!  I guess it’s an entirely different smell when you get up close and personal!  

He climbed up in the loft and leaned over the side and killed it with a long board.  After I got out of his sight I LMAO.  

I was out hunting in Oklahoma years ago, and saw a skunk with reversed colors....white body with a black stripe...I think that's a Civet Cat..it was different for sure...

Hee-Hee [@:D] I got your rainbow!

I learned not to kill anything I didn't want to eat after my dad made me clean and eat an armadillo I shot.  My brother was kind enough to fetch it for me.  I now make careful choices when deciding what varmints I shoot! [8D]
