How Stupid Are They?

[Roy]

If the Folks in Quebec are nicer than the ones in Paris I can scratch Paris off the list of places to visit.

My grandfather served in France in WWI. My grandparents visited again, when I was born. Grandpa said Parisians were shit, but folks outside the city were very nice.

Twelve-bore in the front hall closet, but I can't tell you where the box of shells is. Haven't used that thing in anger since the last goose-hunting trip probably thirty-five years ago.

Healey

So, with the shells elsewhere, what you have, basically, is a club, right? That gives you and me something in common,, then, since I have an aluminum baseball bat and......yes........wait for it.............an actual can of..........(tell 'em, Wayne)...........

Nah, I don't join clubs. I guess if I was to start feeling insecure I guess I could go find the shells or probably just buy a new box (what is the shelf-life of shotgun shells anyway?).

Speaking of which, what's going on in your neighborhood Murph that's got you contemplating weaponing up?

(what is the shelf-life of shotgun shells anyway?). Healey

Not sure, but they do have a shelf life. My Grandfather had a partial box of shotgun shells that would not fire. I am guessing the cause of their failure was moisture/dampness. The primers were bad.

With a four year old in my house guns are locked up. I’m not even able to club someone with them. Each room does have a halon fire extinguisher. A blast of that will stop anybody

Monoammonium phosphate powder from the more common ABC fire extinguishers has equally debilitating effects when sprayed in someone's face.

This is good news, to me. I'm going to look into both, as soon as I figure out where to look for them.
Good lookin' out, bros.

I never underestimate the willingness and ability of the homies and the hoodies (yes, that is exactly who the perps are, as evidenced by the daily news of their chosen "professions" and "vocations") to eventually penetrate our community from their own, especially since they have robbed and mugged and home-invaded every possible neighbor they could in their own towns.

It's not complicated to spot them.

Fortunately, our police dept. is particularly alert and sensitive to any prospective shenanigans and are particularly vigilant, it seems.

Plus, we have the Black bears and the coyotes to be watchful for, since statistics have shown we have thousands of both roaming quite freely, freely and casually and pointedly enough that we have to be careful when taking out the garbage at night, or if taking a exercise walk at early evening. The coyotes are so bold and predatory around here that, for example, a woman was followed by one after she deposited her garbage cans at curbside, right up her driveway, very close behind her, apparently determined enough that she had to be rescued by a passing motorist who saw the encounter and stopped his car to intervene successfully. This time.

Thus, we are menaced by all sorts of wildlife, here.

My OCD went out of control when I read the above conversation. Can anyone guess why?

...My OCD went out of control when I read the above conversation. Can anyone guess why?

Because you are a "Washer" and a "Checker" and a "Doubter" who wants to clean-up "contaminated" people who "appear unclean" ?

Just guessing.

It was the SECOND line of the book!

In New York City?

Not that I know of.

[Roy]

Didn't mean to pry, Murph. You don't have to tell me where you live. Everyone knows, to the block, where I live. We all know where Roger lives.

Speaking of Roger, where is he?

And the long term caustic nature of the compound is an extra added feature!
