I could never top that!! What a song!!!

I could never top that!! What a song!!!
I snuck in to post this, but will run the programs all night to get rid of anything I catch...Don't nobody Sneeze!
Well, it looks like 1) Either the LRH site has got a virus of some kind, because Google won't let me in AT ALL, without overriding my security protocols!, 2) The Backus boys took offense to what I written about them in my song and I have been permanently disbarred, which I didn't think would happen until I had at least reached my 1st year anniversary on the site, or 3) My computer had picked up a virus, which I found doubtful since the company I consult for, has installed about 60 firewalls on this computer and nothing gets in unless I let it, but I do guess it is possible.
So ran a complete virus check on my computer though 3 different programs and didn't find anything…Not a single thing showed, which didn't surprise me since every night all 3 programs run a COMPLETE diagnostic and when I sit down in the morning, it alerts me of what had happened during the previous session or any attempts to hijack the computer during the night.
Anyway, I may never get to post this since # 2 is looking more likely, but will type this up in MS Word and maybe sometime or someday, I'll get to post it.
First of all about the Poem, song, jingle, whatever you want to call it. I had been razzing David Jones, hereinafter referred to a DJ since I get tired of writing djones, about making him famous by writing a song about his exploits. Well to right down to it, just how much can you write about someone who's major source of entertainment and main social life was shooting Feral Hogs and other critters? Not only that, but what kind of music would accompany the song? Well, I'll tell you, finding the right tune took longer than writing the song! I must have gone through 30 songs and the tempo just wasn't quite right. Then I stumbled on "The Yellow Rose of Texas" and the tune and the tempo seemed to fit.. So I started kind of humming the tune and it was what I was looking for with the right tempo and didn't know or realize that the song had originally been a song written for and by Blacks pertaining to what is referred to as a young Black lady that was light skinned and referred to as "High Yellow". The words were later changed during the late 1980's to reflect the current words, but I didn't know any of this until much, much later. Anyway, what I want to say is that the song or whatever in no way reflects on any race, creed, color or anything else, it just happened to fit the tempo of what I wanted to write. Once I had the tempo, it only took about an actual 2.5 hours to write the rest.
Another thing, poor Fred Seaman, whom I had PM'ed and asked if I could use his name. He agreed even though I think he knew it was for a prank. Well I had originally planned on using Fred's name to trip the trap, but in another, more serious scenario, but as I started typing, it kind of evolved on its own. My apologies Fred, once started it just flowed like water and it ended up the way you see it and was just too funny (At least in my mind) to change. Some of the other name's, were people I had encountered on the Forums and that had shown somewhat of a sense of humor so I twisted their names a little. Again apologies, and if you can't figure out whom you are, so much the better.
Now Mr. DJ…Well, I had originally thought it wouldn't be too hard to write something out, but again, what can you write about just killing Hogs, Coyotes or other things? I also had to go through several different formats that I eliminated. Limericks were first, but couldn't come up with any that were either clean enough to post with some word juggling, or could really be sung, and I had promised you a song! The second group I eliminated were the old, old Oscar Brand (a song writer of dirty songs in the 1950's and 60's) type things like: "DJ's wife was on a chaise lounge, on a day that was bright and sunny, While DJ was chasing the part time maid, and she was in the money" type of thing…Just didn't quite fit the bill, so decided to try and tell a story. Sat down and 2.5 Hours later, what you see is what you got!...Any I did spend maybe 15 minutes editing it so what do you want for the length of time it takes to hunt down a couple of hogs? AND I did show your Bravery, creativity (with the straw) and compassion for 2 baby Pigs…and I didn't even comment on your feeble mindedness for riding in the window of the truck. The fact that when you walked off to cajole your wife into making breakfast, and those two Piglets WERE the breakfast, never got out or were even insinuated. I just showed you in the best light possible, and it wern't easy! It just seems that the Saying "Bringing home the Bacon" has taken over your mind!
Anyway, since I Couldn't get into the site, the last thing I saw was a comment and a picture of a somewhat skinny, half-starved spotted hog with the same set of beady eyes over it that I saw on an earlier post…...I think I saw them called a dot hog on another site. Anyway, Til now, I hadn't seen any feedback on the song or whatever you want to call it.
Like I said, just snucked in and thanks Brewer and Coy, appreciate the comments. Now will go run a bunch of programs just in case I did get contaminated. Will be back when the site gets decontaminated or Google stops blocking me.

Well, Mr. Jones, i actually thought that you had contaminated the site with that hog virus that is supposed to be going around. All those pictures of the filthy, dirty hogs and all, but we both got cleared since Len Backus posted down in General Discussion that it was caused by an advertiser that didn't know his ad was compromised and has all been cleared up now.
It actually did cross my mind that one of those Witch pictures that I posted had caused it, but then remembered that the program(s) I have will not let me download a contaminated picture. That automatically threw the suspicion on YOU! Anyway, guess neither one of us did it so we're off the hook, at least you are and I don't know my status when Len reads that song. Only thing i got going for me is that I don't think he comes slumming down here on the Hog forum too often, so he may miss it altogether.
Didn't think I was going to get back in for a couple of days so started a research project to kill a couple of days, but ran into a snag. Will be posting a questions later for all of those reading this site and maybe someone will be able to help me.
Anyway, got to go for now, am actually going to get to shoot for the afternoon in testing out the new research project. And for this shooting don't need good eye's. Good thing too!
Be back later, maybe.

Well I got me a problem. You may know from my previous post that since the site was shut down, I thought I'd catch up on my reading. Well ran across an article in a hard bound up copy of Popular Mechanics from 1953 and an article in there about how when building new ships, they put a bulb on the lowest point below the waterline at the front of the ship. Now what this was supposed to do is the bulb created a shock wave in the water and it reduced the friction on the ship's hull clear back about 2/3's the length of the ship, apparently saving lots of fuel, depending on the size of the bulb. At the time I just thought, hmmm interesting.
Now a while back, I had taken my wife to Michael's Hobby Supply and on our way out she had reached into the clearance bin and came out with a package of pins. I didn't pay much attention then and it was only 35 cents so if she needed pins, oh well! Anyway got home and was unpacking the bag and I noticed that in big bold letters was the word TITANIUM on the pin package. Got to looking and it was a package of Titanium pins, guaranteed to never bend and for use on leather, canvas, and other not real flexible items. 50 Pins, about an inch long with a round head on them like a hat pin. Asked my wife about them, she said she only got them because they were on sale and ever so often she needed straight pins. I asked her if I could have them, and she said sure, but what was I going to do with them. I didn't know, just threw them in a drawer with a bunch of loose gun parts.
Well, last night was sitting out there in my work area and noticed my fingernails needed about 6 months worth of grease and debris cleaned out so started rummaging in the parts drawers for something to clean em with and ran across that box of hat pins. Right then, something clicked lightbulb and I took a good look at them pins and got to wondering if they would do the same thing for a bullet that that bulb had done on the front of a ship, that is reduce the friction of the bullet, and extend the range before it started to drop from friction slowing. When I'd come back from Texas on our last Hog hunt I had about 20 rounds of M-80 Ball that hadn't been shot because we had gotten rained out, so took a good look and right on the pointy little tip of the bullet, there was a flat spot. Anyway, sat down, drilled out the tips of 20 bullets about 6 mm deep, then cut off the shaft of the pin about 4 mm down from the ball, mixed me up some epoxy rolled the shaft of the pin in it and stuck them on the end of the bullets.
Well, today, decided to go see if it worked and at the local range, since they have one of them things that measures the velocity of a bullet. Cost $10 to rent, but I figured I could check the ballistics tables and see if my idea had gained any speed. Before I left the shop, I also zeroed the scope on my Springfield so I could also see if there had been any change in the bullet drop. Then I grabbed my buddy, John, a competition shooter, to do the shooting. When we got to the range, paid our fee's and the rental on the doomaflochit that measures the bullet speed, and set everything up. Surprisingly the first bullet fed just like I hadn't modified it.
John sighted downrange, right through the bullet trap and when the round went off several things happened all at once. That bullet speed doomaflochit that the range boys had set up about 10' in front of us, suddenly took off and flew about 80' downrange and there was what looked like a horizontal tornado from us out to the 200 yard target. The whole range was instantly covered in dust like a fog bank, just thicker and just dust! Needless to say, they instantly shut the range down since no one could see any targets. At first they tried to say that john had hit the doomaflochit, but the range safety officer standing right behind us said no he had been looking over Johns shoulder and he said we weren't within a foot of the doomaflochit. When asked what we were shooting, we showed them and they just shook their heads. Any way, we tried once more, once the dust had settled enough that we could see the targets again. Same effect, a horizontal tornado, without the doomaflochit flying since they had picked it up earlier and it was considered unrepairable with the place where you take the reading all cracked and tore up. Anyway, they kind of got a little nasty and said if we fired again they were going to call the Air Pollution Control District since we were actively creating a hazardous situation with the dust and the Freeway was only half a mile away. So we left before we caused one of the famous dust storm multiple pile-ups.
Now in our neighborhood is a whole bunch of people that work for a Government Contractor on classified projects, so we brought a couple of them over, a Mathematician and a Physicist and sat and talked, explaining what had happened. They want to go with us and see the effects, but suggested that tomorrow, we go down to a lake, near Nogales and shoot over the water to avoid the dust.
Guess I'll let you know what happens.

Hey DJ,
What did you do with the Piglets in the picture...I suspect you'll reply with a Burp, but just curious because you said in an earlier post that you don't eat them (Hogs) I know we do eat the smaller ones, but didn't know if you ever ate ANY of them. Heck ain't more'n a mouthful there anyway!
I've also noticed that this winter, you've slowed down from what you were posting about every day in the mid and late summer. Is this because it is Winter and they're not as active or that you've about cleaned out most of the hogs in your neighborhood and are having to range further?
BTW, thought you were gong to start "In the Ear II". I'll bet since you started this thread LRH is sending YOU all the commission checks, aren't they!....I'm also willing to bet that you evade the question!...Yep, I may be slow, but am starting to figure it out!

Well, heading down to a lake in about a half a hour. but wanted to comment on some previous posts...
Brewer: Quote: "djones the hunter, Packrat the Bard"
Got to admit djones is a hunter, but me ?..The only Bard I am is Barred from numerous other sites on the web...Not only are you a bad speller, but I don't really appreciate you bringing it up. Might give some people running this site, ideas!
DJ: I just happened to notice on post #239 on the right side of the Jacket you are wearing, there appears to be a Packrat emblem. Now since I'm not selling Packrat Jackets yet, was waiting for the field evaluation tests to come back, where'd you get it? You're not making them up yourself are you?....Darn, Not only probably getting all the commissions, but now you're trying to highjack my product line. Is there ANYTHING you won't do for a buck? I thought all you Texans were richer than all us other people.. All that oil and Gas...and I know you've got lots of gas since we get more than our fair share since it shows up in your posts. Not only that, but you change trucks about as often as other people change underwear and in your case, I'm sure much more frequently!
got to go, BBL

Since you seemed kind of disappointed in the song, I sat down and wrote a new one. This one has music attached! JUST FOR YOU!
