Comments
"lurker bombs" - what happens to them after 10 hours?
using a dildo - Someone should cross reference the dildo to the ones stolen from Wicked Wanda's Adult Emporium. There may be a match.
Toilet Tank Repair - I'll read this one after dropping the kids off at the pool.
Elephants in Kenya - my parents can't even text message. I guess you only have to show an elephant once.
Trinidad dog - should have had a net to catch this suicidal dog.

Trinidad - is the "but, alas..." because the dog didn't make it? If so I'm not reading the story.
Missing Deer - if one of the kids was missing and I had $10,000 in expendable money you bet your ass it would be a reward!
MM - if you see a weapon-shaped object in the sky following you around today let us know!

Note to Chuck: Any chance in splitting these up. The commenting is getting a bit difficult for us older types to follow. Sr. moments have been coming faster and faster these daze.

Expat - I've tried to keep it easy to follow by starting each comment with the bolded word in Chuck's post. It seems easier than it was before. Regardless, whatever Chuck decides, I will still post as many stupid comments as possible.

1. What race is this, that has one man just carrying a dildo around, and another walking around showing his porn? And why doesn't that ever happen at TMS?
2. Hmmmm... I wonder what COULD have happened to the 19-point buck in these people's yard? It's not like it's HUNTING season or anything....
3. Hopefully you have a good game plan before your 10 hours are up...
4. What ISN'T big news in Killeen, TX?
5. A moist towelette museum? That's one fetish I've never heard of!
