So I'm sitting here minding my own business, relaxing when I start hearing explosions over the top of my house. Aww yes, the unmistakable sound of bottle rockets. There is one rental house in my neighborhood, two houses down across the alley. It seems to attract loud music playing hell raising punk types. In any event, I get pissed off when this keeps up and go out into the backyard. I find several Bottle Rocket sticks. At this point I am left with three choices...
1.) Go to their back gate, call one of them out, beat his ass. This one is more my style and I would have enjoyed it the most hands down, but I would likely end up in the big house for the night and my wife would not be pleased when she had to come and bail me out.
2.) Call the cops and report the little fuggers. This one is just to easy and I'm not the nark type.
3.) It seems I have a few "bird bombs" left over from "the day." For those of you who do not know what these masterpieces are, they are in a 12 gauge shotgun shell and are basically an M-80 that zips through the air when you fire it out of the shotgun. They go about 100 feet before they explode. These are used by ranchers to run off the geese when they land in the wheat fields and are VERY loud. :-)
I grab the 12 gauge, crack one of my house windows, line it up over the fence and let it rip. The next few moments were priceless!:-) All you could hear were gems like "Jesus Christ!" "Where did that come from?!!"What the fug was that!!! Oh my God!" It seems I still have 24 rounds left if the little cockroaches start again. Bonus......I know as a fact they have no clue where it came from. :-):-) [Reply]

Reminds me of the time I set one off with a fuse and a cigarette to get even with a lady that lived by the place I used to work. By the time it went off I was 10 minutes out of town. From what I heard later, there were 3 city cops, 1 sheriff, 2 firetrucks, and an ambulence, because people thought a bakery was exploding or that someone shot themself.

I guess you realize that I was right about how your story did not make sense.
Maybe you could have just said that you realized it instead of letting Brock, Logical, goad you into their stupid name calling act.
You should be proud. Be sure to tell all of your other neighbors and the Police about your activities.
Maybe I was wrong about that you only did something you wanted to do and created a false justification for it.
Tell you what, if you were right to do it. Keep on doing it. Keep firing off your no longer secret gay bird bombs and keep the Planet updated. You owe it to your fans.
Why can't you just agree to disagree and stop with the holier-than-thou attitude? At first I thought you had just had a bad day, but now you're coming off as a pompous jerk. Is this issue really that important to you?

And people think I'm an asshole..................... [Reply]
Careful, though. Jettio is starting an anti birdbomb movement. He's calling it BBOOB.
I'll let somebody more creative than I complete the acronym.
I am all for bird bombs. I just thought it was kind of Ted Kascynski-ish to act as if he had some kind of justification for it, and to do it secretly. While claiming that it was intended to address the fact that bottle rockets disturbed his enjoyment of his property.
I actually pointed it out in a way that did not require the conniption he had. [Reply]

He probably didn't announce that he was going to do it, cuz I'm sure the cops can find something to arrest you for when you use bird bombs in a manner other than directed. [Reply]

No, I just realized that I had posted replies to several of the morning posts and thought it disrespectful not to address Bwana's reply.
I thought he deserved a reply if I replied to the others.
I really do not care that much about it.
I am sorry that I did not agree with everyone else that thought it was a wonderful idea.
Hopefully, Bwana will ignore my lone voice and keep bird-bombing the neighborhood. [Reply]

Having known and read Bwana stories for ~5 years, I don't think he's the type of person to shy from a physical confrontation. Basically, you're calling him a puss because of the covert nature of his story. Hello? That's half of the reason the story is so damned funny!
You're wrong, but I don't care if you keep flipping Bwana shit. He's a big boy. [Reply]

Don't listen to Phob...He's bluffing.......millertime is a wimp.
I had started to be convinced by the smarter conservatives on the board about how tiresome it was to have these psychological apologies for people breaking the law.
I thought it was cool to blow stuff up.
I just don't want to hear Bwana's bleeding heart do-gooder philosophy about why he did it. Who cares what caused it? Just do it.
It reminded me of the time Recount was complaining about how the Texaco Twins were driving up the price of Molotov cocktails as if that were the sole justification for Molotov cocktails.

Bwana, Just blow up the neighborhood and leave out the "explanation," Too many damn lawyers already.
Now hold on.............If Bwana had said, Hey guess what, I just shot up my neighborhood with these bird bombs cause I felt like it and thought it was funny..........I would agree with you......But what made it funny was Bwana doing it too some no good lowlifes....... [Reply]
