Default Blamo!

Big ass lightening bolt went shooting sideways off the mountain next to me about a half hour ago. (I was standing on my front porch at the time)

Saw smoke a few minutes later, called it in to 911, and drove down to see if I could help. Ummm, no:





My neighbors shop is fubar, but nobody hurt.

Going into town to buy a lightening rod...

Hey dad, you missed me again, asshole.

I'm not sure, I think it bounced off a tree or something.

I heard a big crack in the woods, and the lightening just went zooming across the valley in front of me.

Okay, that's not good, but I can't help but laugh when people say, "going into town."

I found it funny when I went to town to eat at a bar and grill in a town of 300 and the waitress said "oh you guys live out in the country".
