Does this go here?

[littlefallsmets]

I feel like this dog. All the time.

Put that one in the pug thread!

And feel like a c*ck with teeth, too.

They do have some advantages though:

The upside is you live a ridiculously long and healthy life, can’t develop cancer, feel very little pain, never get lonely and have great skin right to the end.

The downside is you breathe stinky air, rarely go outside, tend to get cold, don’t see well, live in a monarchy and can’t count on having sex. (Also, you’re a naked mole rat.)

Sounds like the life of the average nerd, to me.

Zing!

Pain tolerance is variable among nerds.

That's great skin?

Hey Ash! Do you know of a place that will set you up on a wild pig hunt? Like, put you up in a lodge, end you a shootin' gun, take you out in the bush, point out the pig, then after you shoot it they'll field dress it and butcher it for you? (All for a reasonable fee, of course.)

Because that would be awesome.

Google is your friend.

[Carlos del Vaca]

Well, no kidding, but a lot of them only provide some of the services desired. You gotta bring your own guns and stuff. I don't own a gun, don't really want to buy one, I just want to borrow one long enough to shoot a couple of wild pigs.

BTW, "American Hoggers" is my new favorite show.

[Nabubrush]

Surely you mean shootin' iron.

[Carlos del Vaca]

No, no I don't.

Elvis, Elvie boy, why did y'all shoot yo' pappy in the haid with a shootin' gun fo'?

Re: hunting feral pigs:

We've shot them right square in the head and the bullet will glance off and they'll get up and go. Their skulls are so thick in the front, if you don't happen to hit it at a perfect 90 degrees, with the way their heads have that kind of curved shape, the bullet will glance right off.

On "American Hoggers" they do carry guns, but for the most part they catch the pigs alive. Then presumably they take them to a somewhat conventional slaughterhouse for the killin' and sausage-makin'.
