The last post is the WINNER!

[4consideration]

4consideration said that the trophy was immortal. It cannot be cut, wetted or burned. It is just for precaution that I keep it safe so that bears should not trample upon it and dogs may not try to eat it, unless of course the dog was a wise seer dog.

Awww, that is the cutest puppy. It is a winning post.

Time for another post. I know several are way ahead of me, but I keep plugging along and will soon get to 7500

I was going to post something belittling your paltry post count,
but I didn't. That's how I win....magnanimously!

You committed a thought crime and your winning trophy was snatched from your guilty hands.

And I take it back from your filthy paws!

Since the bear is not here, I gather my pack mates and snatch it back as is my right.

I snatch it back, & bring out Mr Hoover (the dreaded vacuum cleaner, bane of canines everywhere) to frighten the pack!

That is a myth

Eh eh. The trophy has gone into Mr. Hoover.

I hear the miserable cur whimpering!

Me, too. So sorry to have taken your win.

I notice that even people who have no cats or dogs also have a vacuum cleaner.
Why?
If not to scare pets, what other use have they?

Pfft. I have no use for them. I hate to vacuum. I don't like to sweep or mop either. That's why I have kids (teenagers.)

Teenagers....your own kids.....do work for you?
OK....you win...for the next 1000 posts.

Although, my kids used to handle Art Fair parking for me back in the day.
Nowadays, I have an unrelated teenager working for me.
His dad says the kid will listen to me, but not to him.

Yes, they do work for me. I usually have to tell them to do it, but they do it...and, they both do inside and outside work. They have it easy. Why when I was kid...

....you walked 10 miles to & from school each day, uphill both ways, thru snow & blistering heat.
You survived by making clothing & burgers from the wolves which attacked you on the way.
Ride a school bus? They weren't even invented yet!

And since we didn't have pens or pencils, I had to use water moccasins to make the shapes of letters, to learn my alphabet. Catching them was easy, but it was tough to duct-tape them in place to keep them still long enough to make a word.

You had duct tape?
We had to make our own tape by rubbing snot on leaves....which were all poison ivy.

You had snot? What I wouldn't have given for a little snot!

We had to chase alligators that were eating a kill, and lap up any drop-off.

You had gator drop-off?
We didn't even have gators!
Although some of our skeeters were just as big.

You had big skeeters? What a joy big skeeters would have been! At least you could see those coming.

We had tiny, invisible skeeters that went up our nose and in our eyes and ears at the same time, and while we were swatting them, the rest of those little critters went under our clothes, stole our wallets, and bit anywhere they pleased -- and they were no respecter of personal privacy, if you know what I mean.
