I'm going to have to send Hal a pm or something. I need to change my email address in my control panel. The old powermite@earthlink.net isn't valid anymore since I don't have that service now. I tried to put in BaneMcDeath@gmail.com but it wouldn't allow it. I guess I'll try yahoo if I can remember that one. CURSE YOU EARTHLINK!!!

Wow! Earthlink. Now there's an online service I haven't heard of in a long time. My last time using them was back in 98. I didn't even know that they were still in service.

McDeath, I'm not sure why it wouldn't let you change emails...it should. I changed it for you though, so that won't be a problem for you. :wink:

Let me know if it works.

Sorry, it took a bit for me to get back to this. Yep, it changed nicely. Thanks for that. I have no idea how many sites I'll have to do this to or forums. I honestly haven't bothered to go through them all and can't remember all the places I visited. Seems some are gone even through wayback machine. Ah well. I guess the important sites are the ones I post at now even if that isn't all that frequent.

{props go to MEAT LOAF LYRICS used - I'll Kill you if you don't come back for inspiration}

Reason for this is a raccoon is apparently living in the extra attic-like room and my investigations didn't go as planned.

RACCOONS
"I'll Kill You If You DO Come Back!"
Image
(instrumentals)

Late at night half-asleep in my room, ... I realized I wasn't alone
I was blind in the dark, you were too bad to be good
But you were covered in fleas, chewing on a chicken bone
And I still don't believe the way you turned on me
You dodged the book that I threw!
I jumped from bed as you hid then you struck from above
Your bite foamed with bubbles, AH, infection sure ain't cool

You gave me rabies and more, brain worms infest your dry poo
You raided my home like a brute, making me look like a fool

How did you bite me, let me count the ways
How many shots in how many days
How does it amuse you, let me count the pain
How many racoons nesting night and day
Image

[Chorus:]
How do you evade me, in such little space
Where are you hiding, then a scratch to my face
How did you come in, from a vent or a drain
What are you eating from the trash again?

You're huge, you're masked, and you love to attack
You're nothing all all but a furry thieving tree rat
In every way I want you out of my life
And I'll kill you if you DO come back, ... I'll kill you if you DO come back

Image
In the mid of the night you used to crawl on me so close
And then you'd chitter that's right
And in the blink of an eye I'd throw you into the wall
And with a punch in the darkness you'd deliver a bite
And in the fit of the fight I hear you chittering so loud
I know you're laughing at me
NO it wasn't funny I was mad as I fell out in the aisle
The way I that fell caused you to run and then to get free

You gripped and bit into my balls, as I then crashed into you
You locked jaws like a shrew as I slipped on your pooo
Image

[Chorus]
How does it amuse you, night and day
How many raccoons want to stay
How do you get in, let me find the ways
Where are you and how do you prey

I kicked your ass like a football and charged to attack
Then you leaped in the air and ripped into my back
In a furious way I grabbed and tossed you with all of my might
Now I'll kill you and make sure you don't come back, .... I'LL KILL YOU AND YOU WON'T COME BACK!!!

{Then the hobo leaped at the large raccon striking at its midsection crashing into it like a semi-truck. Wrestling in midflight towards the window much like Gandolf did with the Balrog it was a sight to be seen. With such force they burst through the attic window causing a tremendous CRASHING THUNDER that shattered the silence of the Finestein's nearby dinner party. Everything seemed to move in slow motion as images flashed through the hobo's brain and whilst the raccon clawed and bit him. Ever so close they plummeted from beyond the third story towards the advancing pavement below.}
Image


Somebody kill all the raccons up in the trees
They're dreamin' of attics and staying just out of reach

And kill all the raccoons before they attack
They're listening like brigands huddled into small packs

Kill all the raccoons dead on the streets
Turn em to roadkill and watch as they bleed

Kill all the raccoons in the light of the moon
Blow out their brains or crush them with an old broom

And kill all the startled raccoons stuck in a trance
They stare in the headlights as the car does advance

Kill all the raccoons who are always alone
They knock down your trashcans to get at the bones

Kill all the masked bandits lords of the night
They're looking for attics all warm and just right

And kill all raccoons that know what to scout
They hide and they dine until you then shout

Image
And Kill all the masked bandits lords of the night
They're a vile and vicious evil dark blight

And kill all raccoons all scurrying about
They surge from forested hells from which they all sprout


I plan on to kill these raccons I never have met
But damn you and curse you after all that you've done
You're the raccoon I will always dread
You're the raccoon I'll never forget
Somebody kill all these raccons and everything that they do
But damn me and curse me for not slaying you

And I'll kill you if you do come back
And I'll kill you and you won't come back
And I'll kill you if you do come back
And I'll kill you and you won't come back
And I'll kill you if you do come back
And I'll kill you and you won't come back
(very faded..) And I'll kill and you won't come back

WTH?

Post by McDeath »

Yeah, when I'm bored I play this game... but its not as the owner intended:
For a little bit more of a reason:
Hawk the slayer intro

Heron - "Enough... ENOUGH!"

(Narrator)
Two crazed hunters bout at each other....

Heron - "You've found the power which is rightly mine."
"HAH!" throws bottle at Hobo which is deflected with his tin cup.

(Narrator)
The first newb hunter they called him Heron.
Image

Severian "Enter Dark one!"
Image

Severian's agent. The servant of evil.
Image

Heron - "Kill him"

Woman - "NOHH"
Image

(Narrator)
The second old hunter, they called him Hobo. He had one secret weapon ... the crazy power of an insane mind .. and he was out for REVENGE!

RACCOON SCREAMS!!!!
Image

Heron - The last thing you will ever see is the crossbow you love in my arms.

Horny Witch - "I am ready!"
Image

(Narrator)
Two hunters...
Two armies....
Two forces of good and evil...
Heron's army .....
Image
Severian's army...
Image

... And Hobo's...
Image

RACCOON SCREAMS!!!
Image

(Narrator)
A corpse....
Image

A Pirate ....
Image

An elephant bowman..
Image

A Wretch...
Image

and HOBO!
Image

Together..they took on the mighty Heron
Image
Together... they took on Severian's agent..

Two crazed hunters with only blood between them..
Image

Beyond the edge of Eutopia there is a world of zorns and insanity!

I almost got into combat with a pair of racoons at work one night. Damn things are the size of dogs! :shock: I came about 2 inches from needing a rabies shot. If that had happened, there would have been a dead racoon, because if I get bit and need to go thru that (the shots are not as bad as it used to be, but still...), I'm gonna kill the damned thing with my bare hands! :shock:

Yeah, I'd nuke Racoonia the country. Hell, I'd planet bomb Racoon World. Raccoon galaxy is getting tossed into a black hole for all I care. And if there's an entire universe... its dusted.

I rather dislike them.

Now I'm afraid to say that I find those little furry critters enjoyable. I had three as pets years ago, and they were sweet little darlings. Well except one. He was just a nasty little snot.

Overall coons are okay, but occasionally they'll tangle with a dog. They're pretty scrappy little critters.

I guess I have bias since I owned ducks and chickens and their death wails and terror screams were horrible.

That is understandable. When your livestock/pets are a source of their nutrition, they can be a serious pain.

Yeah, coons are a menace if you have ducks or chickens.

And more people won the lottery. DAMNIT! I'd love to see it hit 1 Billion or more but noooooooooooo. I don't play as I have a gambling curse on me so I can never win and alas... I don't have IRL save states to cheat win.

I bet this will be the next movie for Undermountain.
