What's the name of that town again?Originally Posted by imthefoolonthehill
I had a similar problem when pigeons invaded the garden to eat the seed that fell from the seed containers put out for the smaller birds. I didn't want to kill them but just wing them to frighten them off, but I am such a poor shot that I actually killed two of them; I finally got a cat.
[QUOTE=Silas Thorne;706651]Here's a poem by John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester:
I'll have to stop there, the rest is too rude perhaps for the forum. But feel free to read it, it's posted on the wall on the way to the games room: QUOTE]
A great poem, I couldn't have put it better myself, but in deference to feminine sensibilties perhaps we ought to have something more anodyne on the reverse side that we could display whenever females hove into view on the horizon. How about:
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies,
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
One shade the more, one ray the less,
Had half impaired the nameless grace
Which waves in every raven tress,
Or softly lightens o'er her face,
Where thoughts serenely sweet express
How pure, how dear their dwelling place.
And on that cheek, and o'er that brow,
So soft, so calm, yet eloquent,
The smiles that win, the tints that glow,
But tell of days in goodness spent,
A mind at peace with all below,
A heart whose love is innocent!
Of course, it lacks a certain 'je ne sais quoi' in comparison but we can always return to basics when the women have gone.

*looks at rifle* Do you men still consider hunting as the ultimate sport?
Don't know why I thought it was 90s.
