“8:29 a.m. 2 guys wearing Montana Grizzly caps…”

What, exactly, is a “Montana Grizzly cap?”

A cap worn by fans of the University of Montana Grizzlies?

Wow…I’m way out of touch with my local mascots, I guess. I never pay attention to that stuff much anyways…

Toad, a Grizzly cap is sorta like Daniel Boone’s coonskin cap. Only it takes much more of a man to wear one. And a big head.

The Montana Grizzly cap is one that is distinctly noted with the big M branded in it, showing it was from your own herd.

“Only it takes much more of a man to wear one.” - CB

Ah.. there it is. I’m definitely not man enough to wear anything like this.

“defecated on her lawn”

Ugh. Most disgusting thing I’ve read today.

Boy, Cindy - you and I seem to be joined at the hip - I just checked HBO and that’s the first thing I read. Absolutely and totally disgusting. I’d rather look at pictures of tarantulas on somebody’s eyeball.

“defecated on her lawn”

Sometimes, you just gotta go, I suppose…I’d have found a nice concealing shrubbery, actually.

There are two types of karma. The afterlife, and the other kind, called,”instant karma.” If somehow we could run that plate, then identify an address, I think, perhaps not human waste, but I would venture to say there would be many donations of sorts to the perpetrator’s yard.

Re: the 12 year old banging her head against the wall. I have done that from time to time in my life, but at 12, I wonder why nobody thought of a hug.
