Reason #34 why it's fun to have teenage sons.

For some reason this summer has been terrible when it comes flies. Sitting out on our patio is like something out of the Amityville Horror. It seems like opening the door for 3 seconds means 10 flies getting into the house.

I was telling my sons that when I was a kid I used to like to kill flies with a dart gun. So we started talking about Nerf guns. I told them next time I was at Target or whatever I'd buy one.

So I did.

So we had fun killing flies, shooting each other, shooting the cats etc.

Then I come home one day and my 16 year old says "You HAVE to see this!" He found a piece of plastic tubing (from some old cat-condo thing...think of it like a mini tent pole) that was almost the exact same diamter of the little Nerf darts.

Hello, Nerf dart blow gun.

The velocity of the dart out of this thing is scary. You get hit with it and it leaves a welt. It will cave in the entire side of an empty soda can from about 15 feet.

Then a few nights later, after my wife goes to bed, the kid says "Check this out."

He took one of the suction cups off of the dart. The small hole left behind is, for some satanic reason, just the perfect size to stick a push-pin into. Oh god. After watching my kid stick the dart into the cover of a hardcover book all the way to the "hilt" I made him swear he would NEVER show my wife.
I think I have a few of those. might be time to upgradehttp://www.toy-tma.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/nerf-havok-fire-automatic-blaster_main.jpg
Nerf has come out with some awesome stuff. My older kid, after I bought my 6-shooter, went out and bought a double barrelled Nerf shotgun...complete with ejectable shells. But the problem is that Nerf and other toy companies don't want kids to hurt each other so their guns are pretty wussified. The blow-gun my kid made is just freaking scary. Especially after her taped two of the tubes together to make one longer tube.

Going to Dollywood?
NOT. A. CHANCE. Then again it probably wouldn't be busy in October. Any fun to be had?
Dollywood is actually surprisingly fun. My wife and I did the rent-a-cabin thing In Gatlinburg a few years ago, and hit the park on of the days. We had a great time, and they have some decent coasters. IIRC, the Mine ride was our favorite.
hmm, might have to look into it.

you seem like a pretty cool dad.
 
Frosty, I was only able to find 9 of your 12 props yesterday, but went 7 for 9 on those. Thanks!

Anything for today?

1/2" PVC tubing and golf tees can be near deadly...especially if you pound a needle in the end of the tees.
 
Nice :thumbup: Couple of things, funny stuff first.

Mom & Dad kept the boys last night. Dylan prefers not to poop so you have to convince him to try or else his stomach is going to keep hurting. Mom told me this morning he was in the bathroom grunting & making REALLY loud noises when and then yells out AWESOME! Mom asked him if he went and relied "YES, IT'S HUGE! COME HERE AND LOOK!".

Stabby things:

The house we are closing on today, is being sold by an agent that inherited the home from her Mom that passed away in the spring. We did the final walk through yesterday and I notice about a 3 foot stain on the boys bathroom floor. She didn't put it on the disclosure, said the stain has been there for years and said we have noticed it. ORLY? She foolishly made this statement via e-mail to my agent. So I should have noticed it under that rug? According to my agent I'm pretty much screwed unless we rewrite everything which means we will have to move the closing to next week. I can however make her life hell by filing a report with the Realtor Board? or something.

Very stabby right. STAB! STAB! STAB!

I thought I would take my daily walking route for one last time since it is "cool" out. Just heard on the radio that isn't going to happen because some guy is barricaded in his house. A GB just drove by, saw and called me and said there are cops and SWAT all over the place. Oh yeah, we know a couple that lives exactly where this is going down. Will get pics if possible. :mellow:

I'm pulling up the St. Louis police scanner on my 5-0 radio app. Stay tuned....

Does Grandma Simpson give you a sticker if she's sufficiently impressed?
 
BTW poo story, Dylan is 4. I thought it was funny. :shrug:
:lol: It was funny. Did she go admire his creation? That would have been funnier.I made historic poop yesterday after a day of anti gout fiber filled mega alkaline kidney cleansing gorging. It started out like any poop. But it was relentless, long and wide. It filled the hole took two laps around the bowl then made me lift off the seat to pinch it off. It sat there leaning against the seat, complete and unbroken, poking out of the toilet as if it needed fresh air. I should have taken a picture, but I was a little scared that it was coming to life. It may have winked at me. I wasn't attracted to it, I swear. But pounds of cherries, purple celery, and red cabbage gave it a subtle violet glow that combined with an unexpected muscular appearance made it more lovely than I ever imagined. This was more than manly poop, it was powerful yet sensual poop. It refused to flush effortlessly swimming against the current. Had it struggled for life, I may have been tempted to save it, but it didn't struggle. Life was easy and it mocked my effort to dispose of it with the attitude of a professional athlete massaged by a whirlpool. I sensed danger. I disabled the bathroom for an hour and battled it into the drainage system with a super plunger and a snake chanting I am the poop lord.Also I just sent off funds for money league #14. I sick. Not working in July and August is great for a single dad with a kid home for the summer, but in regard to fantasy football it's like a junky with an IV bag and a morphine button.
 
I wish you were going to Kauai this week. I could use some help and make you some money.
My buddy has the house until tomorrow then the poor sap has to go home... to Maui. I am real curious about that second sentence though. :confused: I am still recovering from all that swimming. Sonny, (catching up on comments directed to me here) I am not really into scuba diving. I got resort certified working for Westin in the 80s and have maybe dove somewhere once a year ever since, but beyond fake certification papers, fins, a good mask and snorkel, I don't own any gear. My buddy there is really heavily vested into volunteer reef saving. He's retired at 56 and in good health, so what else should he do? In the old days when this board was good for discussion and all my threads weren't purged, I would have started a topic about the environmental wreckage in Hawaii. It's pretty sad to listen to the greenies explain what has and is happening. Some foul black muddy muck has washed into Hanlei Bay and killed acres of reef in just the last couple months. I could go on, but this isn't the place for depressing stuff.
 
I remember hearing on Stern some guy had a natural diet/poop system he was selling. Claimed he got his father in law to try it out and he took like a 6 foot dump. He squatted in the backyard and crab-walked along the grass so it would be straight enough to measure.

If I had my own backyard, I'd totally try it.

Doesn't the ColonBlow make this happen? You drink that weird stuff for a week and then all of these prehistoric-looking fossil doodies come out.

I just laughed so hard I almost peed myself.
 
Can too much pickle juice be bad for you? (No, not Pickles' juice, you pervert, I'm sure that is just fine for you) I have become addicted to pickle juice. Every jar of hamburger dill slices and kosher dills in my refrigerator are void of any and all liquid. I refill the jars with water knowing that through osmosis, I will get more wonderful juice from the pickles. I do this until the pickles are all void of flavor. I have taken to taking nips off the huge jar of picked jalapeno slices in the bottom of the fridge. I want to buy giant jars of pickles just to drink the juice. I have looked up how to make brine online.

What the #### is wrong with me?

Anyone familiar with going to lambeau field? I'm putting together a trip and am wondering whether we should stay in GB our Milwaukee. Anyone have any input?

I've been twice. We stayed in GB because we figured we'd be in no shape to drive to Milwaukee. We figured correctly.

Don't go in December
You are not lying. Seahawks-Packers "We'll take the ball and we're going to score" playoff game. Cabela's doesn't have more hunting gear than was on display in that stadium. My right testiclee just shivered from the memory.

Milwaukee is far enough away that you should stay in GB if there are still hotels with rooms left. I went this last year with a friend who splits a set of Milwaukee season tickets (2 games a year) and he reserves his hotel rooms the day the schedule comes out because the hotels can fill up so quickly. Good luck.

This would be a good reason to not start working out.... :thumbup:
