While I've no ' links' to post for you to click & watch I shall render factual accounts of times animals wild& tamed have spoken unto me,,, and in the beginning it was flat-out wig-flipping creepy weird,,, as just this very Early evening my cat was whining at the door wanting to go out! Now,friends! I've had only one pet dog of over 10 years to have ever actually talked to me ( on three different occasions, the third& final time was when we both went out for that final last ' hunt' together.)
But I've only glommed on to this cat(and visa vers) for what? Maybe 8 months?
So she's at the door raising hell want to go outside,which means I'd usually have to call her in about 3:00a.m. ,,so I pick her up and say " are you sure you wanna go out? ,,,it's a might cold out there"
& I TRULY SWEAR THIS UNTO YOU,,,that 'cat' said
"Put me down,I wanna go out" damn near as clear as you or I could've relayed it,,,
No-fricken-jive!:eek:

I remember reading about those over at sherdog.com forums on a thread similar to this one
Yes I think they are on some threads on reddit also but as cool as the stories are I think most are fiction. But who knows they are cool stories.

Insanely fast way to peel potatoes using no kitchen utensils: (...well I think it's weird anyway!)


Time saving tip: If you do it in the toilet, the brush is already there and you can just flush the peels when done.

Seriously, that's a great idea if you have a decent volume of potatoes to peel. Reminds me of the time I saved when I realized you can shred chicken breasts right in the crock pot with a hand mixer on 'Slow' instead of pulling them apart with those plastic 'Wolverine claws".

Around age 10 my dad got me one of those little long bow beginner kits. Of course, the first month I went around our land sticking arrows in anything that could get stuck by an arrow. Did you know that a 1955 40 horse Farmall tractor will take 6 rounds before it goes down? Tough SOB.

That got boring, so being the 10 yr. old Dukes of Hazard fan that I was, I quickly advanced to taking strips of cut up T-shirt doused in chainsaw gas tied around the end and was sending flaming arrows all over the place. Keep in mind this was 99.999% humidity swampland so there really wasn't any fire danger. Ill put it this way- a set of post hole diggers and a 3ft. hole and you had yourself a well.

One summer afternoon, I was shooting flaming arrows into a large rotten oak stump in our backyard. I looked over under the carport and see a shiny brand new can of starting fluid (ether). The light bulb went off. I grabbed the can and set it on the stump. I thought that it would probably just spray out in a disappointing manner... let’s face it to a 10 yr. old mouth-breather like myself ether really doesn't "sound" flammable. So, I went back into the house and got a 1 pound can of f dads muzzleloader pyrodex . At this point, I set the can of ether on the stump and opened up the can of black powder. My intentions were to sprinkle a little bit around the ether can but it all sorta dumped out on me. No biggie... 1lb pyrodex and 16oz ether should make a loud pop, kinda like a firecracker you know? You know what? Heck with that. I'm going back in the house for the other can. Yes, I got a second can of pyrodex and dumped it too.


Now we're cookin'. I stepped back about 15ft and lit the 2 stroke arrow. I drew the nock to my cheek and let fly. As I released I heard a swish as the arrow launched from my bow. In a slow motion time frame, I turned to see my dad getting out of the truck... OH CRAP he just got home from work. So help me God it took 10 minutes for that arrow to go from my bow to the can. My dad was walking towards me in slow motion with a look in his eyes. I turned back towards my target just in time to see the arrow pierce the starting fluid can right at the bottom. Right through the main pile of pyrodex and into the can. Oh.. Hell. When the shock wave hit it knocked me off my feet. I don't know if it was the actual compression wave that threw me back or just reflex jerk back from 235 decibels of sound. I caught a half a millisecond glimpse of the violence during the initial explosion and I will tell you there was dust, grass, and bugs all hovering 1ft above the ground as far as I could see.

It was like a little low to the ground layer of dust fog full of grasshoppers, spiders, and a crawfish or two. The daylight turned purple. Let me repeat this... THE DANG DAYLIGHT TURNED PURPLE. There was a big sweetgum tree out by the gate going into the pasture. Notice I said "was". That mother got up and ran off. So here I am, on the ground blown completely out of my shoes with my thundercats T-shirt shredded, my dad is on the other side of the carport having what I can only assume is a Vietnam flashback ECHO BRAVO CHARLIE YOUR BRINGIN' EM IN TOO CLOSE!! CEASE FIRE GOLL DAMIT CEASE FIRE!!!!!

His hat has blown off and is 30 ft. behind him in the driveway. All windows on the north side of the house are blown out and there is a slow rolling mushroom cloud about 2000ft over our backyard. There is a Honda 185s 3 wheeler parked on the other side of the yard and the fenders are drooped down and are now touching the tires. I wish I knew what I said to my dad at this moment. I don't know- I know I said something. I couldn't hear. I couldn't hear inside my own head. I don't think he heard me either... not that it would really matter I don't remember much from this point on. I said something, felt a sharp pain, and then woke up later. I felt a sharp pain, blacked out, woke later.... repeat this process for an hour or so and you get the idea. I remember at one point my mom had to give me CPR so dad could beat me some more.

Bring him back to life so dad can kill him again. Thanks mom. One thing is for sure... I never had to mow around that stump again. Mom had been griping about that thing for years and dad never did anything about it. I stepped up to the plate and handled business. Dad sold his muzzle loaders a week or so later. And I still have some sort of bone growth abnormality either from the blast or the beating. Or both. I guess what I'm trying to say is, get your kids into archery. Its good discipline and will teach them skills they can use later on in life

Ive always had a interest in the supernatural and paranormal.I remember my mom and step dad and I use to go camping a lot when I was around seven or eight.I remember on one trip we had just found a place to set up in the nearby camping grounds.we had gjust gotten out of the car and began settling in when my step dad was playing around and practicing throwing knives. I remember he threw his knife into a nearby tree a few times and called my mom and I over and said he had something to show us . in the area where his knife stuck into the tree there was a red liquid that looked like blood. I remember we packed up and left to find a new spot to camp after that.that memory has always stuck with me.it could have been sap but I remember the red liquid wasn' t thick like sap and flowed fast and smooth like blood.

Was this somewhere off Cuba ?

I want to say I read something about this as well. Funny how we don't hear of more stuff like this in our mainstream media. If this is a true finding, it should be huge news. Instead, we will continue hearing about things like Trump's golf swing.

Sorry, kind of went on a little rant there. Whoops. haha

Yeah I don't think those pics are real but back in the early 90's there were a ton of reports about a huge underwater city found off the coast of Cuba but it was very hush hush and then nothing.
So who the heck knows LOL.
