By the way...

I want everyone to know that last night I planned and executed a banning of a spammer here at IAL. I thought long and hard about it...maybe 16 seconds...and after I seriously weighed all of the facts, the inherent dangers and risks involved, I did, in fact ban the spammer. I have no doubt that upon further reflection of this action anyone would be absolutely convinced that by banning this spammer from IAL I did the right thing and that it was courageous on my part. I banned the spammer all by myself with no assistance or input from anyone else. I did it. It was a total ME operation.

I believe that I made a gutsy call.

I want to see the pictures!  Or I'm not gonna believe it happened.

Yeah !

This weekend, I was off to the supermarket buying a few things in order to wind down from a busy week. I had taken a list to the store and carefully checked off all I was going to buy. I was ready to relax a bit and mindlessly approached the cashier. Then, my plans for a weekend free of the workday responsibilities thrust upon my shoulders were interrupted by a life or death decision I was not prepared to make. I left the house firmly believing my only decision I was to make on my errand to the store was what DVD to rent at Redbox.  I was totally taken aback by the decision I was forced to make, against my will, in front of a crowd staring at me to judge my response. What to do. What in earth to do.

"Paper or plastic?" she said.

Conventional wisdom would have gone with the plastic. Screw that. I chose paper. The supermarket crowd cheered my gutsy call. "Well played, sir!" they all cheered. "Well played!"

Pffft.  I had my own gutsy-call moment earlier this afternoon, when I walked out onto the front porch and confronted a big black crow perched on a chairback.

Despite the officious and peremptory tone in which I ordered it to leave, after a minute of seriously contemplating possible courses of action, it took a flyswatter's flick to banish it.

And to no applause at all, I might add.  One woman's brave and gutsy call made in obscurity.

Scare?!?!  No!  I was mightily offended at my property rights violation.  It pooped on the deck.

Plus, once does not shoot crows on one front porch.  From?  Yes.  On?  No; it's just not done.

You do that.

I want all y'all to make note of the big, brave warrior who prescribes a handgun for a crow-on-the-porch, when a flyswatter will suffice.

Wussy.

"Did" you "hit it"?

Is your name "Bob"?

Is there a porch?

Did you see a target?

Was that even the point?
