Gads I love living down here

A man who says he was using his rifle to shoot at dragonflies shot his friend in the head

2. Thanks for that

I needed a laugh.

I think they sort the stories by amount of blood. The top two accounts featured victims who were "bleeding profusely".

I also enjoyed the passed out New Yorker; but my favorite was this one:

Possible rape
A 56-year-old Murrells Inlet woman told deputies there is a possibility she was raped Aug. 14 because when she woke up she was wearing different clothes than she had on when she went to bed.
She said her 75-year-old landlord, who lives in the upstate, was staying with her while he made repairs to the home.
She also said almost all of her pain medication was gone.
Deputies later spoke with a man who said he had slept in the bed with the woman but they did not have sex. He said at one point he saw her clothes were wet, so he helped her change clothes.
He said she was not assaulted and has no idea what happened to her medicine.

O.M.F.G.

11. I once dreamed that I was helping the soldiers in Iraq

by shooting the bugs that landed on them. I realized how ridiculous that was when I woke up.

read to the tune of Boots Randolph's "Yackety Sax".

6. A rifle? Do they have meganeura down there or something?

(Slightly OT: I'm deeply offended that meganeura is extinct.)

13. LOL!

If they were from Johnsonville or the surrounding area, I believe they probably were shooting dragonflies.

14. There are SOME smart people in SC

Just look at are-grits-groceries for one example. I know several IRL, too.

But lordy - we've raised some idjits here.

Embarrassing sometimes.

15. Thanks for the compliment.

I was so surprised I spit out my chewing tobacco and scared all the dogs holding up the porch.

BTW I would never shoot a dragonfly. A mosquito, maybe. They get big enough. :hi:
