Is this a watermelon? Or something else?

admin — Wed, 23 May 2012 12:46:50 +0000

I live in southern louisiana. And about a month or so ago, a plant started growing on the ground right by my porch. It ended up taking over everything around it, I was thinking it was a watermelon. It had yellow flowers, and then small melons started growing all over. They look JUST like little watermelons, but I’ve noticed a few started turning yellow. Theyre a little bigger than a golf ball now. I’m just hoping it’s not some weeds. My brother goes hunting and I went once and we saw some kind of melons growing in a ditch that looked almost like these. I dont want to dig it all up it it’s actually a watermelon. My mom said she’s gunna cut it with the lawnmower tomorrow, so can someone give me any kind o info? We ate watermelons on the porch Quite awhile before i notice this plant growing, so if it is watermelons, it toook awhile For them to grow. I’m not sure what these melons that grew in the ditch are called? I’m pretty sure they’re no good to eat tho. But I’d appreciate any information! Thanks!
I cut one open, it smells kinda like a watermelob, but I cant really tell. And whatever kind o melons were in that ditch, they didn’t get any bigger than this. I guess it’s some kind of wild melon? I’m sure the plant isn’t getting too much water, it hasn’t rained in like 6 days lol.

I’m wondering what they used to put the beads on the string! Did they use wire or did they use that stretchy elastic stuff to put beads on. What do you guys think? http://www.etsy.com/listing/48558603/one-of-a-kind-vintage-taxidermy-sparrow I have a question about this head piece!? is a post from: Florida-Sportsman-Hunting

What is the name of this sci-fi movie/tv show?

admin — Mon, 21 May 2012 21:47:00 +0000

Circa 1990s. It takes place in the future but a time machine is involved. A big-game hunter takes people on hunting expeditions to pre-historic times to hunt dinosaurs. The only catch is the hunters are only allowed to kill the dinosaur at the precise time that it actually dies. If it is killed before it died in the past, then they are changing the past which could have drastic results in the future. One hunter panics and kills a dinosaur less than a minute before it was scheduled to die. hen the hunters return to the future they find out that it has been changed-it changes to something like a Big Brother government.

It may have actually been from a tv show and not a movie.
It was before 2005 so A Sound of Thunder may be a remake. This one was either late 1980s or early 1990s. But when you mention butterfly, there is a dead butterfly on the bottom of his shoe and the guy who got scared gets shot in the end. So I think the 2005 movie is a remake.
I just read the plot summary for A Sound of Thunder and it is totally different from the one I was asking about. This one I saw on tv followed the Ray Bradbury story to a T. So I am thinking maybe this was part of a tv show. Wasn’t there one based on Ray Bradbury’s stories?
Found it myself since the one had mentioned Ray Bradbury:

The Ray Bradbury Theater is an anthology series that ran for two seasons on HBO, three episodes per season from 1985 to 1986, and four additional seasons on USA Network from 1988 to 1992. It was later shown in reruns on the Sci Fi Channel. All 65 episodes were written by Ray Bradbury and many were based on short stories or novels he had written, including “A Sound of Thunder”, “Marionettes, Inc.”, “Banshee”, “The Playground”, “Mars is Heaven”, “Usher II”, “The Jar”, “The Long Rain”, “The Veldt”, “The Small Assassin”, “The Pedestrian”, “The Fruit at the Bottom of the Bowl, “Here There Be Tygers”, “The Toynbee Convector”, and “Sun and Shadow”.

A relative found a Ruger Vaquero at the local gunshop,he knows the place is a rip off (they wanted a little over $700 for it…) so he wanted me to look for one,or something similar,I found the gun for under $450 but while looking for it this caught my eye,It looks to be a good gun,but does anyone have hands on experience?

Is this a correct statement of world history/evolution?

admin — Sat, 19 May 2012 15:47:06 +0000

For those that don’t know about world history … Here is a condensed versionâ€&brkbar; Humans originally existed as members of small bands of nomadic hunter/gatherers. They lived on deer in the mountains during the summer and went to the coast or rivers and lived on fish and lobster in the winter. The two most important events in history were the invention of beer and the invention of the wheel. The wheel was invented to get man to the beer. These were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups: 1 . Liberals 2. Conservatives. Once beer was discovered, it required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture.Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum canwere invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That’s how villages were formed. Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at nightwhile they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the Conservative movement… Other men who were weaker and less skilled at hunting learned to live off the conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ’s and doing the sewing, fetching, and hair dressing. This was the beginning of the Liberal movement. Some of these liberal men eventually evolved into women. They became known as girlie-men. Some note worthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of Democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that conservatives provided Over the years conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons. Modern liberals like imported beer (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare.. Another interesting evolutionary side note: most of their women have higher testosterone levels than their men. Most social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, dreamersinHollywood and group therapists are liberals. Liberals invented the designated hitter rule because it wasn’t fair to make the pitcher also bat. Conservatives drink domestic beer, mostly Bud or Miller. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are big game hunters, rodeo cowboys,lumberjacks,construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, members of the military, airline pilots and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other conservatives who want to work for a living. Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when conservatives were coming to America .. They crept in after the Wild West was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing. Here ends today’s lesson in world history: It should be noted that a Liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to the above before forwarding it. A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be forwarded immediately to other true believers and to more liberals just to #$%$ them off. And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self…..I’m going to have another beer.

How much would this beater really cost?

admin — Thu, 17 May 2012 03:51:12 +0000

I went car hunting today and i found a couple nice cars but i really wanted this 1997 Subaru Legacy Wagon that i found. It looked really nice, Manual, 160k miles, about 32 mpg, and the asking price was $1000 or best offer (this is my first car so thats about how much i want to spend). But then we ask his dad for a test drive and he drives it because i havent learnt manual yet. Its a smooth ride, but as i get in i release his son took out the radio/cd player so theres nothing to play music, it needs transmission mounts so it shakes when its in the 2nd or 3rd gear, and recently the trunk latch broke from closing it too hard. So we get out and i realize the rust along the edges of the car and a bit on the wheels.. once again this is a beater and nothing fancy as you can tell.. So i really dont think its worth 1000, im leaning more towards 600 considering the cost to buy a new latch, radio, and transmission mounts. What do you think?
im sorry its actually 1993
im sorry again, they are actually engine mounts so i need to go to a mechanic for it because i dont have a lift

Tips for new hunters, hunting this season
So you haven’t gotten a deer this season? Disappointed? First of all, an enjoyable deer hunt doesn’t absolutely require you to kill a deer.

Can anyone identify this little spider?

admin — Wed, 16 May 2012 13:51:29 +0000

I live in New Jersey and this little guy is VERY tiny. Maybe 1/4 of an inch long. I didn’t see any obvious web so it may be some kind of hunting spider. Could it be a jumper? It sure doesn’t look like any jumper that I’ve seen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here’s a pic of the little fella.
