The Rat Hunter ( UPDATE)

I just realized I spelled Absynth like the Native Instruments audio plugin.

Absinthe is some crazy stuff. I drank quite a bit while I was in Amsterdam about 15 years ago. Our hotel room was directly above a wine cellar that sold all sorts of it. We tried several brands and Van Gogh brand was the hardest liquor I'd ever tasted. What a literal mind trip.

I also had about 36 grams of fresh mexican gold aztec mushrooms, amongst other stuff, the night we polished off that bottle. Heroic dose levels. My feet didnt touch the ground for at least 12 hours. Highly recommended.

Love the meme lol

I smuggled a bottle of Trenet Absinthe from London in my suitcase back in 2005. Wrapped a bunch of dirty clothes around it and declared i was carrying a bottle of rum back ( at the time, absinthe was still illegal here with wormwood and the US customs had a strict policy on it in my travel info). They never questioned me because the bottle was shaped like the Eiffel Tower and i guess they thought it was a souvenir in the xray lol

But the good stuff, i got sent directly from a company in France and Fedex delivered it with Air France stickers all over it: made it thru customs i guess lol. It was called Logan Fils and i ordered 3 bottles. They sent me 4 by mistake, so i kept 2 and sold the other two to my friends. That poop was potent. I drank about 6 shots over the course of an hour and went to get up, just sat back down and stared at the ceiling fan and thought it was funny how it moved.

Not saying i hallucinated or anything but it was a way different kinda drunk feeling
 
So the Chief of Police came today and actually hauled the garbage himself in a trailer. Skanko bonded out and is home now. But now since the foodsource is gone, the rats are all over, hiding around his back steps.

I just fragged a nice fat one that crossed into my yard near my garden. The Pallet you see here was holding paper targets earlier, the rat came right beside it and went bye bye. I see at least 3 others. And yes, im lying prone with a shooters rest like some psycho lmao20210608_203009.jpg
 
I can definitely tell you that I don't have a favorite snake. In fact if it looks like a snake and walks like a snake Ima stay the Intercourse away. I came entirely too close with a cottonmouth one time to ever give snakes a second chance.

I've caught and handled rattlesnakes since I was a kid. I also raised one from a night crawler sized juvenile and he lived over 20 years. They are incredibly intelligent creatures...

 
Yeah that was specifically my problem. I was 14 and my scout troop was on a camping trip. We were hiking along in some swampy woods and a few guys in front of me were stepping on a rotted log as they passed it, trying to crush it a little as they each walked by. I instead stepped right over it and as my boot touched the on the other side I felt ithe ground move a bit so I lifted my foot and that's when it struck. It had sunken it's fangs into the back of the reinforced ankle section of my hiking boot. I instinctively just did a standing punt and watched the cottonmouth hurdle into space, flipping end over end and wiggling the entire time for about 25 yards into the marsh.

If I had been wearing regular shoes I would have been bitten. No snakes please.

Yes, that's no doubt a scary event. When we travel to Arizona, I get up early and go snake hunting.
