[QUOTE=TundraGreen;1652961]Am I the only one who finds Hound Dog's, often outrageous, hyperbole entertaining and clearly not to be taken seriously?[/QUOTE][/I
Perhaps not the only one but I do have my detractors. As in any attempt at outrageous humor, there is much to be taken as offensive but, rightly or wrongly, at times the ball is hit over the left field foul line and that little attempt on my part to be charmingly beguiling came off poorly because, primarily, of awkward delivery and clumsy rhetoric. Moderator Isla kindly rescued me from any scorn attendant to turds remaining upon the beach after the tide washed in by a timely deletion.
As may not be known among some of you, I must admit that, having grown up in cockroach laden South Alabama and now lliving in the cockroach laden Lake Chapala region of Mexico, I have taken it upon myself to have come up with ideas on how to, if not rid the planet of cockoaches a hopeless task, at least to have come up with notions as to how to limit their indulgences and, when we lived in a charming but primitive shack on Mobile Bay in 1971, I came up with this idea of a kitchen lightswitch that had an automatic feature that went on and off every 15 minutes all night long and destroyed cockroaches as they died from exhaustion from having run themselves to death racing back and forth to hide under the refrigerator.
Then, after moving to Ajijic, on the shores of Lake Chapala - a place also infested with giant cockroaches, I got this idea, after having discovered that scorpions, who also proliferate around Lake Chapala and love to snack on cockroaches, of selling littke scorpion kits to homeowenrs so they could introduce these scorpions to dwellings where, during the night, they could scarf up those cockroaches in abundance thereby reducing their number significantly but I was still working on the resulting proliferation of huge, fat scorpions waking me up all night burping cockroach detritus but, unfortunately, I detailed my plan before it had been thought through completely thereby offending a sensitve, unidentifiable member posting under a nom de internet who took it upon him/herselfe to refer to me in loathesome ways which I did not find offensive although that may have been the intent.
That member has stated, without substantation, that Hound Dog has been summarily dismissed from two forums for inadmissable behavior but I am unaware of these events so he (or she) may wish to enlighten us as to his/her sources of information. If anything like this may have happened in the deep past, it is the stuff od high humor and not reflective of the Hound Dog´s culpability so, let´s have at it- recvount these events just for the fun of it.
