I may break my dry January pledge for a wee dram of Glenmorangie. For Auld Lang Syne. 🤑

I’m fresh out of haggis so it will have to be steak for dinner. And to cold for a kilt!

Generally no.

Of course we all know that the Pats sold their soul to de Debbil years ago. So when the Rapture comes, they’re screwed! 😆

Yup. He was a bit off key

Well Special Forces did participate in a successful cavalry charge in Afghanistan . But of course it’s not a large scale type tactic. 😉 I’m afraid weapon technology has far exceeded ship tech since WW2.. The Great White Fleet days are over. I shudder to think of where the money would come from to build a new group of Dreadnoughts. And to what end? To curb the hideous threat from Venezuela? 😂

Pose for gigantic photos.

Ridiculous idea.

Definitely trying it if winter ever comes!!

Tonight’s repast required me to skip lunch. Which I did albeit with some reluctance. But it was worth it. 7 hour crockpot pineapple habañero chicken, fresh cornbread, mixed veggies and a gravy made from the broth the chicken simmered in all day. In keeping with the pineapple theme, I scooped out half a pineapple, diced the innards and sautéed it in butter and brown sugar. Adding a bit of Ron Zacapa 23 dark rum. Into the hollowed out shell went scoops of Vanilla ice cream. Then the still simmering mélange wa poured over it. Kind of a tropical hot fudge sundae... without the fudge. Quite tasty. This is how I eat pineapple. Not on a dang pizza!

Muscovy ducks!

Three Emus walk into a bar. Or a petrol station. They’re both expensive!

I am without pest now and can’t lay my hands on old pics. I can only offer this. Robert and Mary

Nothing stays the same.

Great take on the East India Company too! I spent a while explaing to her how amazingly powerful and influential it was. Most people have no idea. Imagine the Disney Empire or awalmart with their own troops. http://www.radiotimes.com/news/2017-02-04/what-was-the-real-east-india-company-bbc1s-taboo-takes-on-the-formidable-corporation

Yeah! Weird. Dark. Disturbing. Mysterious. I like it!

There was one by the post office the other day that you could smell from 500 yrds approaching!!

What did the use to weld it? MIG or arc?

Corsican Ogre. Great alias!

For those who advocate a shotgun for home defense, this is not a bad concept. One reason I don't favor a scattergun or rifle for close in work is the length. Moving around in low light with furniture and doorways and the possibility the bad guy could grab your long gun in close quarters makes a pistol more practical for me. But this thing is short enough to be used in close quarters and scattery enough to be used by someone who is not a crack shot. I think it has a niche.
