I just seen...
« on: June 22, 2008, 05:43:56 PM »
my first Nevada snake.....

I had on shorts and slip on shoes....was eating outside at a summer bbq...right in front of my table, there it was, it's little head sticking up...like it was smiling at me....I let everyone know "there's dessert"....One old guy was going to save my life, but it seemed like it took him twenty minutes to get to me....I just simply stood up and walked away...I did not want to try to get close enough to take a picture as there were some small barefoot kids that I had to warn....of course I told  one young lady that it had "three heads" and she screamed....LOL  :rotf:

Then we seen two of them...one slithered up the trunk of a pine tree....so look above when walking under trees!

Grammer was not a priority, I could of been strangled to death by a snake!

You will be strangled by me if you refuse to use "have" instead of "of".  :lmao:

Cool snake though.

lindanumbers would tsk-tsk you for eating outdoors, at an establishment that does not include a maitre'd, a wine list, and a freshly-pressed linen tablecloth.  Not to mention your atrocious choice of attire, sir.
If you want to worship an orange pile of garbage with a reckless disregard for everything, get on down to Arbys & try our loaded curly fries.

You caveman!  I suppose you used *gasp* PAPER napkins as well??

Probably didn't use any at all.  Probably used his shirt sleeve.  *mutters*

Ok re-read the original OP with this in mind....Is that a snake in your pants or are you just happy to see me?

Now the only thing I have difficulty reconciling in my interpretation of the story is the last line about it slithering up a tree and the PSA to look above when walking under trees.  :evillaugh:

I'll let you peeps decide, what is Rob trying to tell us?

my first Nevada snake.....

I had on shorts and slip on shoes....was eating outside at a summer bbq...right in front of my table, there it was, it's little head sticking up...like it was smiling at me....I let everyone know "there's dessert"....One old guy was going to save my life, but it seemed like it took him twenty minutes to get to me....I just simply stood up and walked away...I did not want to try to get close enough to take a picture as there were some small barefoot kids that I had to warn....of course I told  one young lady that it had "three heads" and she screamed....LOL  :rotf:

Then we seen two of them...one slithered up the trunk of a pine tree....so look above when walking under trees!

The last I heard the snake story, it's like a fishing tale...the snake now is about 20 foot long! It more then doubled in size in just a few hours...

Lennon-McCartney apparently agree with Rob.

Poetic license, my friend.  If they really agreed it would be "I Seen Her Standing There".

(oh, a bitch slap for bad grammar!!  :hammer:)

You've probably never SEEN a cotton mouth water moccasin, a coral snake, or a copperhead. Ratllesnakes aren't the only evil snakes out there.

actually, I lived the 1st 7 yrs of my life ina suburb of Houston...I have fond memories of my grandfather whacking the crap out of a copperhead with a shovel!   And just last summer there was a coral snake slithering through the poolarea of a friends house while we were there.   

I still like snakes....I just don't like the ones who make a lot of noise! 

  Let me clarify....I like to LOOK at them, unless they are boas or garden snakes, but I'm not psycho like Jeff Corwin and go around picking up wild poisonous snakes for fun!!! :-)
