I am really curious as to whether this is a real town or if it is just a euphemism like Bumblefuck ??

On the conversation about gun safety, I like the rules from PhoenixRose's dad, and I think Mal summed it up pretty well in the beginning of Objects in Space: No touching guns. I don't have one myself, though I live in a somewhat rural town, but I do want to teach both of my boys to be safe with them as well as with sharp metal things. I think that ignoring the issue, especially when they are so prevalent in both real life and media cultures, is a bad idea.

Title is from Ren and Stimpy right?

Man I miss that show.

I am with you, I used to love that show. Sometimes I see old episodes being replayed on some channel or another, and I just had the bright idea that it would be a perfect show to replay on [adult swim]. Hmmmm, ideas.

I used to have the song that is the thread's title memorized, but not so much now.

Curiously, yet another song that gets stuck in my head every once in a while...

"The Log Song", from Ren & Stimpy

"What rolls down stairs alone or in pairs
Rolls over your neighbor's dog?
What's great for a snack and fits on your back?
It's Log, Log, Log!

It's Log, Log, it's big, it's heavy, it's wood.
It's Log, Log, it's better than bad, it's good!
Everyone wants a log! You're gonna love it, Log!
Come on and get your log! Everyone needs a Log!"

OK I so love the idea of a real town calle Gopher's Crotch...

Tristan oh come on you can't start a story and not finish it. Now you have to tell us how you blew a hole in your roof...OH that would be a great ponderable.... What's your most embarassing destructive incident???

I'll go first. Let me start by saying I adore scented candles.When I was still living at home and had just graduated high school, I left a candle burning too long and the wick got buried. Being resourceful ( well I thought I was) I brought the candle downstairs and figured I'd melt it a bit and pull the wick through. I took the candle to the microwave and put it in for 5 minutes figuring that would be enough time to liquify the candle.( no I did NOT know candles were flamable. I didn't equating melting and fire with flamable) By the time the little bell dinged, I had burned a 3 inch diameter hole in the top of the microwave. To this day, my mother always eyes me suspiciously when I use the microwave.

I had fun, but apparently I can't count. #1 rule when being snarky...don't make a mistake. Dagnabbit, I broke that rule.

Oh well.

Guns: I had some experiences with them when I was young. Learned to shoot, etc. but I'm not very comfortable with them now. I suppose introduction to guns really depends on where you live. In the city, going out shooting is an involved process. You either have to go to a range or travel quite a distance for some open space. Not so in a more rural setting.

I will say that I completely freaked out one day when I was out at the barn "alone" and one of the barn workers was walking around with a big ole rifle. I was all kinds of scared. Turns out he was just shooting gophers and rabbits, but I didn't know that. All I knew was here was some guy with a gun.

As for weather...Am I gloating if I tell you it's been 80 degrees with cloudless skies for about a week and a half? Gotta love California. 'Course, the consequences for the beautiful weather is another huge fire.

yeah but that fire was set intentionally so it could happen anywhere and isn't weather related... Sounds like you love living there Rugbug. I'd be seriously sad if it was this close to Halloween and 80 degrees and sunny, but that's why I don't live in California. I'm glad you're enjoying it though:)

Edit- ok I have to do this
Lions and Tigers and Bears...Oh my

MSG, that gave me a good laugh! I found out that if you melt wax in a pan on the stove, and then go to pour it into plastic ice trays, it will melt right through the trays and coat the kitchen in wax.
Ok, the continuation of that story. I was living with the soon-to-be wife and her friend (yes, Three's Company jokes abound). I was showing the roommate the new rifle and the s-t-b was in there with us. I was trying to show her the magazine release to show how you could drop the magazine, cycle the bolt, and clear the chamber. As this was a new-to-me rifle, I thought I knew where the safety was and where the the release catch was. I was wrong on both counts. The safety was off and what I hit was the trigger. Luckily it was pointing at the ceiling...bang. So, yes...that destroyed any credibility I had in the s-t-b's eyes as far as gun safety went for quite awhile.
Thanks for making me remember that in full!

RugBug, hey, counting properly is optional when you are having fun!
