Think we need a sarcasm one too though. Who's our resident geek?)

The sarcasm smiley has been a source of much discussion....we're still waiting.

Here on my island, we dispose of bodies with a few pieces of lead and some chain, after running about 60 miles offshore of course. No body, no crime.


Do you have a price list for this service?
Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

No Scout, we just do it to relieve stress and for entertainment value.

But no, we will NOT take care of your wife. Too many traceable leads. Sorry. But let me point out, you're just a few hours from a big lake.

You know I'm kidding. It isn't worth it. Just move - far easier.

She has my kids, unfortunately. 

And no, I was kidding.  Simply because as the cops will tell you, if the wife goes missing, the 99% of the time it was the husband that did it.

Just ask Drew Peterson how that's working out for him...... [popcorn] [popcorn]

Well you do have a point there. I don't even know your real name, if the wife were to go missing, who would blame me a bunch of guys in the lower right section of the country?

Kids. That's hard. Hang in there.

If you guys are serious about the Apsvilles thing, you might look into the Hutterite Colonies up here.

Now - I do not subscribe to their religion and dress, and I think that the colonies are tyrannical and abusive, but they do manage to exist pretty much independent of the ambient law and culture.
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

Oh my. Bad case of boat envy! Mine is just an old 17' McKee craft walk-through but I do manage to rid the local waters of as many fish as possible. But since I'm an APS member, does that mean I can come use it? <gives best sweet smile and bats eyelashes>

mckee crafts are great boats :)
And yes, APS members are always welcome on sugar mama, as long as there isn't a storm in the gulf!!


And no more talk of feeding actual persons to the crabs, ya'll.



I like this for an APS base

Considering the area's rich pirate history and all.   >:D

Cedar Island looks PERFECT!!
270 acres, butts up to NWR, deepwater on one side for docks. And only $1.3 mil. They'd probably take an even mil for it.
I'm in!

Got distracted by island and almost forgot rest of your post. Yep, McKee crafts are good boats. Solid. Wouldn't mind having one that's a little more bright and shiny one day though.

No more crab feeding. Noted.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

Bright and shiny is overrated, needs more maintenence.
