36. I had an actual king cobra at an actual call
View profile
As luck had it the biology class covered the previous week hibernation in reptiles. Took two fire extinguishers to make that cobra go to sleep long enough to go into pillow case. Took it by back of head in full turnout...and gloves and was still the worst, nervousness wise
Patient lived, luckiest son of a gun, and cobra found a new home at the zoo.
So I'd say that was a good day.
-
Watched some else do it.
From a safe distance.
Resume update.

Resume update.
Damn.
"Snake charmer" on the resume.
What next?
Cuckoo-clock quality control inspector, perhaps?
-
Correct me if I am wrong but aren't most fire extinguishers work by denying the fire oxygen? How would it lower the core temperature of a snake?
-
Anyone want to tell nads that king cobra's are not native to the Americas? :rotf: :rotf: :rotf:
-
Why didn't she call the almighty San Diego Zoo and get them to send a mongoose to kill the cobra?

Was the honey badger not available?

Sounds like she watched that show, emergency back in the 70s they used the fire extinguisher to catch a rattle snake.

:cheersmate:

I seriously doubt that there is any snake Nads could charm.
-
So the balding dwarf was wearing an "I dream of Jeanie" outfit?
-
Damn! I read the thread title, and thought we were getting a risque story from the crazy bald dwarf.
Maybe a graphic description of her first encounter with her moonbat submariner.

Nads is a snake charmer
Nads can stay the hell away from my snake!

CO2 fire extinguishers work by lowering the temperature of the fuel and by removing oxygen from a fire.

BS for imprimting that image on my brain... now where is that 5 gallon pail of industrial-strength mind bleach?

47. According to my vet, we were damn lucky
View profile
since it does not work all the time... but it is always worth a try.
And nervousness, you should have seen me shaking after we did the patient turn over... shaking like a leave does not start to describe it.
It's one of those (had a few), where you go... damn am I lucky today.
I guess that is why I cannot hit even three numbers in the lottery.
Burned all my luck already.
:whatever:
-
Can you blame a snake for not biting her?
Humans have the ability to wash bad tastes out of their mouths, I doubt snakes can do the same.
Seems to me the Cobra had and still has more sense than Queen Nads.
-
You're dead within 30 minutes from a King Cobra bite.
From the call, to the dispatch, to the suiting up, depending on where the call is, traffic time, loading the pt., getting the snake "charmed", driving the patient to the hospital.....
Might well be over 30 minutes.
Shaking like a "leave"? Really?
You can't hit three numbers in the lottery because you can't count past three.

Question.
The oblate spheroid lives in San Diego.
The oblate spheroid alleges she's a paramedic.
Wouldn't this mean she's on the payroll of the fire or rescue department in that city?
-
She's said she used to be a paramedic. Probably in Mexico.

Right.
But here she's saying this snake thing happened today or something.
-
Okay, I missed formerlurker's post.
Reading nadin is like trying to walk through thick mud.
-
Well now, I just looked up the San Diego fire/rescue department.
I'm starting to get the feeling Vlada Mitty's making up a story here from the police-scanner she probably has on top of her television set, to snoop on things; that she's not part of the team, but pretending she is.

Looks like she got called out

79. You were in Asia?
The king cobra is distributed across South Asia, Southeast Asia, and the southern areas of East Asia (southern China) where it is not common. It lives in dense highland forests, preferring areas dotted with lakes and streams
-

Well, you know there's crazy people who get their jollies out of having poisonous reptiles as "pets," and I imagine the blue areas of San Diego have a lot of crazies.
So I don't have any problem accepting that part of the story.
I am however having considerable problems accepting that the oblate spheroid's on the payroll of Rural/Metro of San Diego, and went out on this call.
I think she made it up, from something she heard on her police-scanner, which she has no business having in the first place.
-
She wasn't claiming it happened today. She said it was one of those deals where you say, "damn I'm lucky today".
Despite the contempt she has for all her fellow DUmpmonkeys, the nutcase knows even they aren't DUmb enough to buy the idea of a crazy bald dwarf working in the San Diego emergency services.
All her derring-do went on in the shithole south of the border, except of course her death-defying drives to take boring photos of burning dead grass around suburban San Diego.
It's impossible to uncover facts in the shithole south of the border, so she has a clear field for making up self-aggrandizing bullshit.
The fact is that a crazy, fat, bald dwarf doesn't have adventures anywhere except inside her bald noggin.

I wonder what type of "reporting" she would be doing from a crazy persons living room? trading sex for meth no doubt.

Well, okay. I went to the original campfire on Skins's island and carefully examined it.
She doesn't claim it happened today, but she sure bends over backwards to make it sound as if it was something recent, and in San Diego.
I still think the oblate spheroid made it up from something she heard on her police-scanner.

What we need is a photoshop of nad's head on a fat belly dancer. add a few snakes. wala! Perfect illustration!
-
Nads can stay the hell away from my snake!
:rimshot:
-
Maybe she was Nadining about fire extinguishers and saw that little tidbit and decided to turn it into a story.
Just my guess.

65. Hard to be certain of the species, but it is not a venomous snake.
That much is certain. You can safely pick it up and move it off the sidewalk to a safer location, where children won't do something like run over it with a bicycle or stomp on it. Moving into a vegetated area will also help protect it from birds. Everything from mockingbirds and jays to small raptors find such a small snake an attractive meal.
It's also a good snake to introduce to children.
It's a real cutie.
Not sure if he is kidding or not.

Finally has a chance to read the whole thing.
They sure went round and round on that thread.
Several times they struck out at each other, with little fangs bared.
I'm surprised none of you didn't spotted this gem.

7. From the head, don't think it's poisonous
But I would still have an expert remove it.
Locally the FD gets rattler snakes, that have, like all poisonous snakes, a triangular head.
No they don't you ignorant scrunt. :loser:
Only the ones found around laundry mats, have funny heads.

I've never wondered about the species of a snake, or whether it's poisonous.
I just look for the nearest big stick or golf club.
It's surprising to me that in the hundreds of days I've spent carrying a gun through woods and fields, I don't recall ever having shot a snake.
A big stick is much more efficient than a gun.

Ive killed one with a can of raid, that works well on them

Did they roll over on their back and stick their legs in the air? :-)

Once, I shot a rattlesnake with my .44.
How the rattler got hold of my .44, I'll never know!
