One Hour ... Maybe

I'd give that thing one hour in the Florida woods and somebody would be riding around with it tied on the tailgate showing his friends.

"Dropped it with the second shot ... and I found a chainsaw laying right next to it."

I Thought It Was Just A Meme

I saw this early this morning:

And then I found 'The Rest Of The Story:

A 34-year-old man was arrested in Yellowstone National Park after dressing in a bison costume and chasing tourists for two hours.

In the incident, the man wore a full bison costume and spent approximately two hours running after visitors in the park while repeatedly yelling, "NOW YOU KNOW HOW IT FEELS!", causing confusion and concern among tourists, some of whom initially believed the costume was real before noticing a "Made in China" tag on the tail. Park rangers intervened and arrested the individual for his disruptive and unsafe behavior.
This event highlights the serious risks associated with approaching or harassing wildlife in Yellowstone. Bison are large, powerful animals capable of causing severe injury, and park regulations require visitors to maintain a safe distance of at least 25 yards from bison and other wildlife. 

Previous incidents in the park have involved tourists being gored or injured after getting too close to bison, emphasizing the importance of respecting wildlife boundaries.
The arrest serves as a reminder that Yellowstone National Park enforces strict rules to protect both visitors and animals, and that reckless or provocative actions, such as dressing as wildlife and chasing people, can result in legal consequences. Visitors are encouraged to observe wildlife safely, follow park guidelines, and avoid any behavior that could endanger themselves or others.

UPDATE: I’m Not That Impressed

I've lived in Florida almost all my life and I've been in the woods hunting, fishing, whatevering, and I've seen a shit load of bugs and have to deal with them but I'll be damned ... I'm not impressed, I'm gagging. Could you imagine trying to kiss that after she had that roach in her mouth ...

(That looks almost like what we call Palmetto Bugs here in Florida.)

While the names may vary in different areas, the ‘bug’ that landed on the reporter was an American Cockroach or a Smoky Cockroach. Had that been what we refer to as a Palmetto Bug in Florida, it would have gotten more of her attention. While I applaud her for her attention to duty, most females, including my wife, would have contracted a severe case of the heeby-jeeby convulsions and they would have still been flinching and brushing themselves off for several minutes. Women have been known to almost undress in public to get rid of a Palmetto Bug.

My wife refers to the Palmetto Bug as the armored cockroach because they appear heavy duty and they crunch audibly when you step on them.

Palmetto Bugs aka Florida Woods Cockroach or Stinkroach because of the smell they emit can be twice as big as the American or Smoky Cockroach.
