My girlfriend found it [on the dog? on the wall?] and brought it to me just to see how I killed this one ["I haf ways of dealing with them"]. Should have put this in "Off topic" duh. There are some [very few] people I wish it HAD been on Sadam, Osama, etc.

yeah, you gotta watch for lyme disease from those critterz

nice choice of tool though - i'm sure the tick was mezmarized by the patterns on the blade.......

Last one I found on my dog was the size of a blueberry which is what I thought it was at first till I got my glasses. Nasty little critters. Wish they all could be rounded up along with flea's and my dogs would be as happy as a pig in sheet and I would be to cause I wouldn't have to bomb the damn house with those stinking chemicals.

Vagrant, that tick had the most honorable death a tick ever had!

They are really bad around here already this year. I haven't found any attached to me yet, but have pulled plenty off me. Who knows how many I've already got off the dogs.

Last year I had about 5 attached to me. Felt like putting Frontline on myself

I just got a bunch more guineas last fall, so I am hoping they will eventually start foraging and eating them. I used to have a big flock of 20 guineas or so and they really kept the ticks down, plus you knew if a strange person or dog was around, even up in the woods around the house cause they would go off in a deafening racket when they saw them.

We should start a new thread - "Vermin I've Exterminated with a Blade". Right off hand I can't think of anything I've "offed" with cold steel.

Falcon,

If we included things like turkeys, chickens, and goats and included the use of axes and machetes I would have quite a long list

Greetings, Mr. Vagrant-

I once hacked a tick off my lovely girlfriends' shoulder with a serrated steak knife after a short footrace, which I won. I'm and expert at combat field surgery, if you overlook that whole aneasthesia thing. That was at Gay Head, Martha's Vineyard, summer of '75. Had a great time. Lovely jail they have on the island, too.

AS ever,

Your ol' pal,

Wally J. Corpse

Greeting Wally,
The only "public housing" I've had the pleasure of staying in was in La. This lasted until the bail-bondsman arrived. At trial the judge acted like defense council in the questions he asked the enforcement types who had attended hoping to detain me longer. All over in less then five minutes with myself exiting to freedom. And uniformed persecutors exiting in foul humor.

Vagrant,

How'd you get the judge on your side?

He sometimes attended meetings of the M.C. club I was in and even helped write the by-laws.
