The neighbors woke me up again last night

The only roof invasion I can think of is when I had mice. They did not wake me up, but they did make my cat go crazy.
 
If you're a soldier and not just some bum living in a plywood shack I'll remove you from my ignore list.
 
Fortunately it looks like they didn't remove the safety pin, so it didn't detonate on impact. Instead the nosecone\detonator broke off and skipped across the roof, and the main charge and body crashed through the roof, off the bed, skittered around on the floor for a minute and died. It was not a great way to wake up, but it was better than not waking up at all. 😀

Damn dude, keep your head down! 😵

...and rest easy in the knowledge that even from thousands of miles away, your thread is *easily* hijacked by Alky.

So...you know...you got that going for you.
 
Any way you can have the thing deactivated? That would make a hell of a conversation piece on a desk or table.

Much better story than about 99% of the rest of us would be able to provide.

Not sure if you can get lotto tickets over there...but I'd go buy one today.

Yikes!
 
Holy shit !!!

Not how I want to wake up ...D:
Stay safe man and thanks for your service...:thumbsup:


edit: People there is a ignore function in the user control panel,use it and don't feed the troll.
 
I would have thought of you as a lot younger... I was barely crawling in the late 80's, haha...let alone knew what job outlooks were in IT.

We foster dogs a lot, would love to have become a vet/zoo person, but this is so much easier, more money!

Less talking, more flaming!
 
I have moved all the thread derailing garbage, as entertaining as some of it is, to its own thread and will continue to do so if more is posted. Let nebor have his thread - its awesome enough in its own right.

So glad for your sake someone forgot to remove the safety pin!
