Title: Non-sense
Post by: Fidelios on June 06, 2012, 01:23:00 PM
A CCTV camera in one of our big supermarkets has caught a very disturbing set of images: A man, full dressed in camo, bow in hand, was filmed crouched behind a Pringles stand. It was about 7am and there was no one about so he was able to stay undetected until a staff member came out in a rush from one of the freezer warehouses pushing a trolley filled with turkeys. The lunatic, drew his bow and stuck a 125 grain broadhead right in the turkey's "vitals". "Get in there, get in there" the man shouted as he no longer had the need to stay in cover. He was rapidly manhandled by the fishmonger, who emerged from nowhere. Already in custody, the lunatic justified his actions: " you know the guy that was pushing the trolley? his name is Karl and he has the habit of arriving late to work so I carefully observed him for a week. It was hard you know? With the shift patterns, and the shift swapping... I was kind of lucky to get it right on that particular morning...perfect shot, baang!" The police officer, mouth opened in dismay, was only capable of uttering a quasi mute, "whaat?" The lunatic, in a hurry to end the officer's obvious brain entanglement, held his drained flimzy hands and said through an understanding smile: "the turkey was moving, the conditions were not perfect, my legs were numb from crouching for so long and the smell from the Pringles was really distracting me...so...you see, at least it had a chance!   :deadhorse:

Sorry you have to put up with this kind of crap, Terry.  I really don't understand what people get out of doing things like this.

Oh....you should see the emails we get sent...and the ones we aren't even suppose to get come to us sometimes.

Rob did a web site for some 'back porch arrows' or something...and Rob did the site for $140 INCLUDING the annual domain fee....then this guy emails Rob instead of his buddy that Rob is a total a.s.s and must have money it it for himself.

Now I just wonder...how many other folks out there would build a web site for someone for $100??? (domain is about $40 a year)  Now why would someone build you a site for $100 just to be labeled an a.s.s?

It just burned me up. Folks have NO IDEA at what all Rob has done for folks for so little or NOTHING.  He has given more of his time away than ANYONE involved with TradGang.  TradGang would not be here if it weren't for Rob.

There....now I feel even better.

The reason I asked if it was a joke is because....

We live in a world of weird headlines these days, and...

We live in a world of people who say/do some unusual things just to get a laugh.  If such is the case with this one, the OP might not have realized that this isn't the place for a post like this.

I do appologize if it caused any confuion..it was indeed intended as a joke. It was in the spur of the moment just after I had a kind of dispute with my wife over hunting and the difference with packed meat. I'm sorry if I offended anyone...I do hunt and have to defend my stance against my colleagues at work and so on. This was  bit of a rant which I also posted on Face book. I understand if you delete it as I do realize now that I may have offended members and also that this may not be the place for this kind of comments..   :(

Hey, Miguel, we all learn our way around here after a while!  Don't sweat it too much.  This is an unusual forum, due to great moderators and conscientious members.  And we're pretty quick to notice things that are out of the ordinary.  

Good to meet you, and hope to see you around.

Archie

I too welcome you here. Your story was funny but totally out of bounds according to the rules. We all make mistakes; just give the rules a read through and then post again. I'd like to hear of any hunting you've done "across the pond". This is a great site, it just takes a keen eye (and sometimes a heavy hand) to keep it so.

Again, welcome.

OP....there are lots of forums on the web where you are allowed to post nonsense, be aggressively provocative, whatever....thankfully, this aint one of them.

Talk about traditional archery, and do it in good taste. Period.
