Gotta side with the hoomins.

When a large animal like a horse or cow gets pushy with you, you can get seriously injured quite alarmingly fast.

-Which I did not understand my first day around the ranch when I saw someone slug an animal in the head for biting; which to them has all the power a mild slap would to us.

That being said, most of the ones kept are either scared, disinterested, or total sweethearts.

If they knew that cow was mean, then where was the zapper? Why wasn't it made into hamburger already?

As your carbon dioxide level increases up to a certain (relatively-low) point, so does your relaxation.

So yes, holding that breath for as long as you possibly can, and then exhaling as slowly as you possibly can, (and repeating if possible) does work.

Polar Bears are all Bastards!

@LisaL: Agreed.

Wow. If that's not some kind of pchop, I'm surprised.
Not that bored scandinavians would actually do that. That, I believe.

It is hard to think that they wouldn't without some EPIC hearing protection. That must've been freaking LOUD; and on just the right frequencies to permanently shred your hearing.

I can haz?

There's a joke in there; -somewhere.

@AMG: Thanks Mom! I am so happy to be gorgeous and awesome! :D

However, I fear I am just not smart enough to fight off all zee laydeez who, contrary to female sub-culture's rules, seem to attack me at every minute.

It is really hard to dodge flying cheerleaders like that. Even 95 pounds can pack some momentum at 35mph.

And once they get near you, they start clawing and tearing things off you!! So far, I've only lost clothes.
Okay, AND one earlobe, but that's it.

What is a sexy genius to do?

So far, I just stay inside w/gf and play Sudoku on "Evil"-difficulty, but I fear the rampaging whores hordes will one day breach the outer defenses.

I guess I should fuel up the helo & refit the mountain fortress on Piz Gloria. Hopefully, The Mighty Eiger will keep them at bay.

... But you never know, those Swiss bitches are crafty;
and sporty.
(not the ones from entire villages afflicted with Cretinism due to Iodine-poor soil; those are short, goitered, and dim)

Anyway, Love you! Seeya! +Jen says Hi.

What a loss.
Just an awesome, funny guy.

RIP.

These guys are totally ripping off that song by Soundgarden!

@David Govett: If she did, then wouldn't she have some quite enlarged & scorched ladybits?

Or have they regen'd since then?

And I have a little time buying the idea that she's done appropriate upkeep all these years. Per some jurisdictions, the property could be considered derelict and sold at auction, because she clearly cannot afford all the property taxes.

Can't you just create a bike lock with C4?

And by 'lock', I mean, something that just vaporizes the thieves that's triggered by car alarm remote?

Seems way cheaper than this.

Hah! The Old Gods LAUGH at your puny human rationalizations.

Lord Cthulhu has ruled in the ages before, and possessed the minds and souls of his insane undead legions.

And he will yet do so again, mortal FOOLS!

Resistance is feudal!
