Funny pic/gif thread...

Whatever is on the top left in the picture appears to be a poppyseed muffin instead of the chocolate chip cookies .

It was an Osage Orange, a monkey ball.

Spent my Saturday afternoon sitting with my son in a little valley leading up to a bean field. While we didn’t see any deer, we spent a couple hours watching a squirrel that was adding to a gigundous treasure trove of black walnuts. He’s add to his pile hop up on a little stump and defiantly chatter as if he were proclaiming himself king of the valley and challenging anyone to come and try to take what was his. We were trying to stay quiet, but it did make us laugh out loud a couple times.

My son mistook the black walnuts for monkey balls, so I brought him one home yesterday. My efforts were met with indifference. However, my youngest daughter thinks she could use it as a brain for a jack o’lantern. That could be fun.

What I find ironically funny is for a number of years I worked on water wells and windmills / pump jacks and my service rig is a 1976 Ford 3/4 ton 4 wd with a 25' hydrohoist Derrick and 550' of 3/8" non rotating cable its also got 3 forward and reverse gears for pulling or setting the pipe pump cylinder or working barrel .

I must admit I enjoy Halloween and started dressing up to hand out treats to the kids , I'd wear my Ghilly Suit and set outside next to the front door and not move until the kids were committed and they nearly jumped out of their own skin !
I was the talk of the town because I did suck a good job of scaring kids , I handed out Halloween pencils or mini boxes of raisins , only 2 kids didn't like what I was handing out so I grabbed their sack of candy and looked in it and said that what I gave out was way better !

Her friend agreed and told her to quit whining ha ha

I want you to imagine yourself as a ten year old.

Dried up grapes. No chocolate. No caramel or nougat. On the flip side you can use the box as a whistle.

If I imagine my self as a 7th grader and I gave myself a box of raisins… I would abso-lutely, without a doubt, return to that house in the middle of the night and completely cover it in toilet paper.

I as a kid loved raisins , I'd take a hand full of them then add a few chocolate chips , I was fortunate to have spent a great deal of my time growing up around my grandparents which was a blessing and a curse .

Yes I got my fair share of candy but they also made sure I ate healthy food also fruits and vegetables .
