catbirdseat Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 The news is just chock a block full of wonderfully spray-worthy items. If you all can't do something with this stuff, you don't deserve to call yourselves sprayers. Let's see what have we got? We have the group of body piercers who hang from meat hooks who got tossed out of the Fremont Solstice Parade with the suggest they go try the Gay Pride Parade instead. We have the story about Terry Schiavo's autopsy report. Enough said. We have the story in Science Magazine about research into how Sherpas carry heavy loads. Cool. Finally, we have a story about an imported breed of rodents (aka giant snaffles) called nutria on the loose in Skagit County. It's a great, great day!

catbirdseat Posted June 17, 2005 Author Share Posted June 17, 2005 (edited) Dude, can you carry your own body weight, dawn to dusk at high altitude using a tumpline? Story on Napalese Porters This is a nutria: Story on Nutria Help! I can't find a picture of people hanging from meat hooks!

Ducknut Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Nutria have been in SW Washington (in the Columbia) for years. Hardly news. They are bad news for marshes, native wildlife and dogs. You don't want your dog to get cornered by them. The dog might win the war but it'll likely get a few real big holes in its body from the big snaffle teeth. By the way I kill everyone I see, everytime I see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foraker Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 We should get the nutria hooked on meth and set them loose in the forests.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selkirk Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Does anyone remember the nutria fur had episode from Seinfeld? Maybe this will just lead to a population explosion of martins. They seem about the right size to eat those things. Either that or it's time for a Nutria/Hook Guy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way I kill everyone I see, everytime I see them. Humans have been in SW Washington (in the Columbia) for years. Hardly news. They are bad news for marshes, native wildlife and sheep. You don't want sheep to get cornered by them. The sheep might win the war but it'll likely get a few real big holes in its body from the Polish guy.

barjor Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Kinda intersting how easy it is to change your religious belive like that. I think Brittney Spears will be divorced before Tom Cruise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaps Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Well, it is all very plausible. Evil Xenu enslaved human beings with psychic influence. Anyway, I'm typing this post with my will power alone...no need to tire my fingers. I hope Katie enjoys her audit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dechristo Posted June 17, 2005 Share Posted June 17, 2005 Good little catholic girl converting to sciencetology...hmm I give their marraige 1 year and 3 months...wages?? anyone?? Because of the philosophy of L. Ron? Because of Tom Cruising? Because of her aversion to bestiality? Because the Mayan calendar is off by five years? Your speculative reasons? I'm thinking Mr. Hubbard dubbed da faith "Scientology"... I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
