It's getting warm

The primary goal of this site is to provide mature, meaningful discussion about the Vancouver Canucks. However, we all need a break some time so this forum is basically for anything off-topic, off the wall, or to just get something off your chest! This forum is named after poster Creeper, who passed away in July of 2011 and was a long time member of the Canucks message board community.

I was thinking about the environment, because it's a cause near & dear to my heart, and it dawned on me, drone attacks must leave a much smaller carbon footprint than a conventional F18!

And come on, you gotta admit, killing mofo's, and doing so as if you were playing the xbox is way cool! :thumbs:

With what, over 300 drone attacks in Pakistan alone... Obama should be awarded the Nobel Prize! If Al Gore (that tree humper, literally) can win a Nobel Prize for talking out his ass Obama should win it (AGAIN) for actually making a difference.

Think about it! Obama is actually a champion in the fight against global warming. While some talk a big game mr. President of the United States of America is actually doing something about it.

2nd term.... 2nd term.... 2nd term....

Is he still alive?
Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I've heard reports that he was killed and replaced with a look-alike stooge in early 2009.

The look-alike is secretly a devout muslim who was born in Kenya.

Or so the reports say. :look:

You know in most ways, a warmer climate is not all that bad for Sweden, but one drawback of the milder winters we've had the last twenty years or so, is an increase in the number of ticks, but also the invasion of the Spanish slug, or "killer slugs" as we call them.

They're not killers as in killer bees, the name comes from them being cannibalistic, so you can often see one of them eating a weaker compadre... Anyway, they're bigger, uglier and more repulsive looking than traditional Swedish slugs, they multiply like crazy (being adapted to the Iberic peninsula and its dry climate they lay hundreds of eggs in the hope that at least some may actually hatch, but in the moister Northern Europe - they all do. :shock: ) and completely devestate gardens. They have no natural enemies here. Apparently the musk duck eats them, but that's about it.

Now that it's spring and I ride my bike to work there are scores of them crawling all over the bike lanes.
Some squashed, others not, but all of them equally disgusting. :evil:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_slug

Still haven't seen any in our garden. Maybe the hedgehogs take care of them? We have two of them living there, a male living under a dutchman's pipe in front of the house and a female living under the playhouse in the backyard. Now during spring the two of them socialise quite a bit in the evenings, some summers we have "hoglets", but the rest of the year they tend to each stay in their designated half of the garden... Anyway, hedgehogs eat slugs, but I've often heard people say that they don't like the Spanish ones. Maybe ours do? :look:

^^^^ Hmmm, yet another story about an abundance of hermaphrodites in Sweden. :mex:

Hey Per, is there any truth to the rumour you eat babies?

If so, why don't you switch over to slugs??

A tad more appetizing one would think?

:P :mrgreen: :D
