super glue some horns on one and set it free in the park and wait for the reaction or a post on reddit claiming chupacabras are real
What did you accomplish today?

Somebody spotted this in a local park last week. Made all the news channels and local media outlets.
The experts decided it's a 'Black Rat Snake', indigenous to the local area. 10 to 12' (or more) and massive.
They were trying to locate it to remove it to a safer area, but now can't find it the last I heard. Park traffic has been cut in half, nobody wants to run into it.
A real job killer for the local squirel trapper I would guess. Lol.

Growing up I've seen some enormous snappers back in remote water some very large rattlesnakes and black snakes too.

I once caught an Indigo snake in the Everglades Park (not legal, I know) that was longer than our 67 Barracuda.Growing up I've seen some enormous snappers back in remote water some very large rattlesnakes and black snakes too.

I released it, so it's all good.
Edit: The reported length is more than twice the longest recorded?? The BS meter is twitching steadily.

They said that no python was ever over 18ft, till 1998. Just not looking in the right places.
The specimen once widely accepted as the largest-ever "accurately" measured snake, that being Colossus (a reticulated python), a specimen kept at the Highland Park Zoo (now the Pittsburgh Zoo and PPG Aquarium) in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, during the 1950s and early 1960s, with a peak reported length of 8.7 metres (28 ft 7 in) from a measurement in November 1956, was later shown to have been substantially shorter than previously reported. When Colossus died on 14 April 1963, its body was deposited in the Carnegie Museum of Natural History. At that time, its skeleton was measured and found to be 20 ft 10 in (6.35 m) in total length, and the length of its fresh hide was measured as 23 ft 11 in (7.29 m) – both measurements being significantly shorter than what had been previously estimated in 1956.

The one in the indonesian jungle sinkhole was 21-23 ft long, looked bigger from above. They thought it was twice the size.
Another one in captivity was 25 ft in 2011. Just because a scientist has finally cut one open and made a paper doesn't make him the worlds expert.
Point is, they find a nice cave entrance, don't ever have to leave for food , water ,heat, hibernation.
No way they get captured for study. No one ever sees them unless they are mating or an immense drought.
Pretty sure the snapper lived in the cliff side before the reservoir was built 90 years ago.
Just ate fish swimming by, till the tire swing went in. Noise and swinging legs drove her crazy.

I love that kind of work. Used to install septic tanks and driveways are a lot of work my man. Well doneWhat did you do today that you're proud of? Something at work, home, school, personal achievement, etc...
Today I had gravel dropped off and I put in a new driveway. It was a lot of work but I got it done quicker than I thought I would.
Accomplished having the heating element fail in my dishwasher for the second time. The last time my diverter and circ pump failed it did too. So next time I guess I should order all three as they appear to run as a crew.

spent the day levaling paving stones around the rasised beds in the garden, the weeds were in danger of taking ovrer the place.
first was the weeding, fucking dandy lions and dock leaves taking over, deep rooted and grow back from the tinyest bit of root left behind.
re spaced the raised beds, no mean feet, to the width of the paving slabs, put weed barrier down and then paving slabs.
the hardest part was leveling the dam things with patches of sand.
but the weather was real kind to us, t shirt weather, whilst the rest of the country is complaining of the cold weather. all in all a satisfying days work
the raised beds and pavers look great.
oh yes, we also counted 20 fresh asparagas heads coming up in the new beds, next year we can pick some asnd from then on there fair game as the plants will have established them selves

So f'n rude. I don't mind about the short planned obsolescence but just have the grace to f'n die so I can do it at one time instead of this death by 1000 knuckle grazes.

I went to buy a car that was NOT as advertised. The gentleman was upset with me for...not taking his word on anything?...anywho he started to get very unpleasant. I respectfully asked him to calm down ...he didn't. I'm sure there was an underlying issue that he was depending on the money for. I walked to my car and grabbed a joint. As I was walking he asked if I was getting a weapon...I said "yes sir. A weapon to battle your mood". He looked at me like I had a hole in my head as I tried to be funny holding the joint like a knife. I smiled and said "have a sense of humor my man" try that. " He didn't say a word. I got in my car and left. He texted me later and thanked me and also apologized. Point is...I altered someone's mood lol
LOL c'mon you know you want to
