Just so y'all know.....this yankee already knows how to catch and serve a snapper turtle.
1.put down beer and run like hell after your fishing rod as it makes a b-line into the lake
2. reel like crazy for about a half hour since you caught the darn thing on an ultra-light bass rod (while fishing for carp)
3. drag on to land by tail, and keep a close eye on your toes
4.get a long stick and mess with it for a while
5. when board with the taunting, shoot in head with 22
6. bring to the vietnamese chefs at work and watch them enjoy it for dinner

::: dino shakes head and clicks tongue in dismay :::

My dear Wahndur, that's the yankee method of preparing a snappin' turtle. You'd best use something stronger than a .22 on a big ol' snapper. Our snappers would just catch a .22 bullet in their teeth and spit it back at you.

I trust that any bullet that can still be lethal at a mile will do a number on a snapper( see, I still remember my hunters safety course)

Squirrel goes on rampage, injures 3

BERLIN (Reuters) - An aggressive squirrel attacked and injured three people in a German town before a 72-year-old pensioner dispatched the rampaging animal with his crutch.

The squirrel first ran into a house in the southern town of Passau, leapt from behind on a 70-year-old woman, and sank its teeth into her hand, a local police spokesman said Thursday.

With the squirrel still hanging from her hand, the woman ran onto the street in panic, where she managed to shake it off.

The animal then entered a building site and jumped on a construction worker, injuring him on the hand and arm, before he managed to fight it off with a measuring pole.

"After that, the squirrel went into the 72-year-old man's garden and massively attacked him on the arms, hand and thigh," the spokesman said. "Then he killed it with his crutch."

The spokesman said experts thought the attack may have been linked to the mating season or because the squirrel was ill.

Now all I got to do is figger out how to get my hands on a coupla them German squirrels . . .

And still our government does nothing about these terrorists.
It ain't getting better, folks. Now, trees (http://www.11alive.com/news/article_news.aspx?storyid=98943) are getting into the act:

The giant tree came at her so fast she couldn’t react.

"It was just out of the blue, it was like, the tree just flew into my car."

One day after a giant hardwood tree fell onto Lauren Kennedy as she drove down Peachtree Avenue in the Garden Hills neighborhood of Buckhead, she wondered how she was able to squeeze out of her crushed car with barely a scratch.

"My head went forward,” Kennedy said on Wednesday afternoon, “it kind of landed on my head, right here. And it pushed me forward… I don't know how I got out of there."

Kennedy had just left work for the day. She is a hair stylist at Silva Thomas Salon on Grandview Avenue, just around the corner from where the tree fell on her, on Peachtree Avenue at North Fulton Drive, not far from the busy intersection of Peachtree and Pharr Roads. She has driven that route home practically every day during the two years she has worked at the salon.

“There was nobody in front of me, nobody behind me…. It happened in an instant. And I didn’t realize how bad the impact was until I got out of the car and looked at it.”

The branches of the huge tree were so numerous, thick and tangled, rescuers had a difficult time reaching her and extracting her.

She was hunched forward, doubled over, underneath the car's ceiling that the tree had pushed down, toward the floor -- a tiny space that, seconds earlier, was a normal front seat area of her car.

"All the windows were blown out, the tires were blown out in the back, I mean, I couldn't have climbed back in it today, if I tried," she said after going to the wrecker yard to see the car and retrieve personal items from it. . .

Immediate action is required.

Fire up your chainsaws, load your .22's and get busy!

It ain't getting better, folks. Now, trees (http://www.11alive.com/news/article_news.aspx?storyid=98943) are getting into the act:

The giant tree came at her so fast she couldn’t react.

"It was just out of the blue, it was like, the tree just flew into my car."

One day after a giant hardwood tree fell onto Lauren Kennedy as she drove down Peachtree Avenue in the Garden Hills neighborhood of Buckhead, she wondered how she was able to squeeze out of her crushed car with barely a scratch.

"My head went forward,” Kennedy said on Wednesday afternoon, “it kind of landed on my head, right here. And it pushed me forward… I don't know how I got out of there."

Kennedy had just left work for the day. She is a hair stylist at Silva Thomas Salon on Grandview Avenue, just around the corner from where the tree fell on her, on Peachtree Avenue at North Fulton Drive, not far from the busy intersection of Peachtree and Pharr Roads. She has driven that route home practically every day during the two years she has worked at the salon.

“There was nobody in front of me, nobody behind me…. It happened in an instant. And I didn’t realize how bad the impact was until I got out of the car and looked at it.”

The branches of the huge tree were so numerous, thick and tangled, rescuers had a difficult time reaching her and extracting her.

She was hunched forward, doubled over, underneath the car's ceiling that the tree had pushed down, toward the floor -- a tiny space that, seconds earlier, was a normal front seat area of her car.

"All the windows were blown out, the tires were blown out in the back, I mean, I couldn't have climbed back in it today, if I tried," she said after going to the wrecker yard to see the car and retrieve personal items from it. . .

Immediate action is required.

Wow! That is some kind of story telling, I mean pprecise and right to the point! I think they need to take some more creative writing classes. That's terroristic writing to say the least...........:eek:
