Get one of those "tactical lever actions", and use it to beat to death whoever dreamed this thing up.

I can hear someone talking in the background, although I cannot understand what they are saying. And then at the end of it there is a loud click. But there is no video. The entire screen stays black.

I figured it was something not the sass badges. Like the dirty thirty shooting society or warthogs. But then he went and changed it from ass to sass. Got me all confuddled.

Y'all seem to have misinterpreted the question. It was not whether or not the ghost would still be there. It was not whether or not the new house would be haunted. The question was whether people - you know those idiots that populate the world - would believe that the new house would still be haunted like the old one.

Well, yeah. I always wake up before the dream is resolved. Kind of annoying, actually.

This is not real. This was a dream I had. Somebody was murdered in the house. 10 years or so later somebody else is murdered in the house. People start talking about it being an evil house. It is haunted. Someone tries to burn it down, but the fire department saves it. They can't find any tenants that will stay more than a year. People that live there talk about furniture rearranging itself at night, and strange noises, and cold spots in various rooms. Obviously this house is haunted. And a few years later a third person is murdered in the house. If the arsonists actually succeeded in burning the house down, so now it is just a vacant lot, and they built a new house on the vacant lot, do you think that people would think the new house is haunted and evil, or would the burning it down have gotten rid of the evil of the house?

I must admit to a little bit of puzzlement. If you are white lightnin, sass number 527, why would you have sass badge number 2? I thought that was US Grant's badge.

Update: Today she had her stitches removed. I think she knew what was going on, because she was really anxious to get out of the house and get in the truck. Afterwards I asked the lady if she could now go play in the yard and roll in the dirt and in general be a dog. Because for the last 2 weeks the only time she'd go out of the house would be on a leash, and as soon as she peed or pooped we went back in the house. And I wouldn't let her lay down in the yard. Is she laid down I'd pull on the leash until she stood back up. Keep it clean, keep it dry. And the lady told me that yes, she could now be a dog again. This wonderful picture was taken through the bedroom window. Between the glare and whatever the hell is on that window, you can just barely see her. Out there laying under a bush in the shade, like she normally does 12 months out of the year.

Should I put this in the coffee thread?

Do they use a lot of stitches to make a smaller scar? Valley of the Horses. The second of the Cave Bear books. Jondelar gets mauled by a lion. While they are not specific, I've always visualized that he was sliced from his hip to his knee. Ayla is trying to hold the muscle together by wrapping it in bandages, but the wound is too big. She can't keep it closed. So she invented stitching. And she put four stitches in him. And then she wrapped the wound in her bandage. And apparently the four stitches were enough to hold the muscle closed enough that the dressing could hold it closed tight enough to grow back together. If she put a stitch about every inch and a half or two inches down his thigh, that might work, but it would leave an awful ugly scar. In Roadhouse, Patrick Swayze got cut, and the cut look like it was about 2 to 2 and 1/2 inches long, and he sewed himself up, but I think he put in six or seven stitches in that two and a half inches. Much smaller scar. Second question. No fee for removing the stitches. That's what the vet told me. Now in reality they figured the fee for removing the stitches into the fee for putting them in - "we're going to charge $20 for sewing up the dog and another 10 to take the stitches out so tell the customer that the bill is $30, but there's no fee for removing the stitches". They might not think of it that way but that's what it is. But do they tell you there's no fee for removing them so that you will actually come back to have them removed? We were given a dog. Corky was two or three years old. Springer spaniel, or he had a lot of Springer in him. And I could tell that he had been neutered. A large dog that old that ain't got no nuts is kind of obvious. Walked into the dining room one day and he's standing on the table eating my supper. It was time for him to belong to somebody else. So we gave him away. And a couple of weeks after we gave him away the people we gave him to called us and informed us, kind of shocked, that he still had his stitches. I didn't know that. I don't make it a habit of examining the genitals of my dogs. But apparently whoever had him and had him fixed never took him back. And that had to have been at least two years previously. I bet they were fun to remove. Fun for the vet, and really fun for Corky. But why would they not take him back? Probably because they didn't want to pay a vet fee to have them removed.

In SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL SHERIFF they have a scene taking place in the kitchen. The woman is making bread, and behind her the stove is heating up. One of the round things on the top - I don't know what they're called - has been removed and flame is coming out of the hole. This allows her to accidentally back up against it and set her dress on fire. Here you can see the flame behind her by the coffee pot. And a closer view. Now my question is, if you're firing up one of them wood stoves, do you need to take the round thing off the top? Would that be required to get enough air in for a good combustion, or is this just a bit of Hollywood business so they can have her dress catch fire?

I gotta disagree with you there. If you are in the business of buying and selling something to make money, you are a dealer. There are a lot of people that buy guns cheaply and sell them at gun shows. They are dealers. They are not licensed dealers - they do not have a federal firearms license. But they are still dealers.

Remember how "Boss" put the whoop on Merlin, by making the sun go out, in A Connecticut Yankee?

I know my ears have gone bad. That second one sounded like he was saying Lean-gun berry But the first one sounded like Ling-mun berry And I just could not figure where the hell he was getting the M at.
