That's nothing like walking bare foot in the snow, uphill, both ways.

That's nothing like walking bare foot in the snow, uphill, both ways.

Only thing that beats that is walking on "goat head" stickers (I haven't seen snow in so long I forgot what it is!).

 

[Wolfwood]

is that what those nasty little bastards are called?

we always called em' "sticker burrs"

found one on an old sock the ther day. held that sucker with over a candle with some hemostats till it tunred to ash... lucky enoguh not to have any in my yard, and aint riskin it!

out in Mineral Texas they were literally EVERYWHERE. and ya cant jsut mow them down 'cause they jsut spread that way!

They're some mean little "cripplers". Visiting my Grandparents in Breckenridge, TX in the summer when I was 6 or 7 was always great until we'd go runnin' out across the hard packed sand and hit one of those. I don't know who made that name up (probably my grandmother) but I figured it was 'cause it was like stepping on a minature "goat head" with little horns! Coundn't put your foot down for several hours after an encounter with a "goat head".

at what point does it cease to be a smillie?

anyway, OP, that is some crazy stuff there.

Hemostats can be used for holding "stuff" around fire???

These people were too stupid to know they were using a bomb for a bell?

WOW.
