Our Miss Brooks, The Ozzie and Harriet Show, Leave It To Beaver, My Three Sons, Topper, Mr Ed, The Andy Griffith show, and SGT Bilko were a couple of the others. ;)

My experience with bumble bees isn't so nice. Brushclearing with a 4ft deck behind the tractor, stirred up a nest. Explaining to dad that I bailed from the tractor and let it roll to a stop. No damage done, just lucky to not get ate by the brush hog.

So on top of stings, I got the ass-chewing to last a lifetime.

Nice artwork, I really laughed hard at the bathroom scene.

Two boys, (aged 10), two Bubble bees and one fly-swatter if things got bad. All the bees wanted was the open window. We were taking bets on how long they could hover in the fixed position. Stevie wanted to make a swing-load out of toothpicks. So he did and placed a nickel on it, it was too heavy. Bee held on until he ran out of fuel.

Kinda funny.

That same summer, we made a covered wagon out of an old pair of roller skates and a show box. Made a harness for a Prairie Dog, it ran around the kitchen until grandpa came home. All he said was, "...if it's gone before grandma is back, I'll say nothing. If she sees it, I can't help you". He re-filled his coffee mug and returned to the garage.

I'm SURE my soul will pay dearly for tormenting God's creations.

But you are sooo much older than I am...:p

Bumble Bees? Where I grew up, crossing any pasture with tarweed usually resulted in a dash for safety from a Bumble Bee...or three...or more...:eek:

Never regretted blasting one of those filthy, plague-ridden vermin.

Used to help clear pastures of the vermin up around Norwood, Colorado.
Friends had some sort of a contest going on my first trip.

Brought my .22 carbine, thinking it would be sufficient.
It was not sufficient for what they had in mind.

One brought his 7mm, the other brought his .270.
The contest involved things such as:
-how many PDs could be killed in one shot
(the winner killed 3 -- first 2 with the bullet, the 3rd with PD shrapnel)
-how far it flew when shot
-how high it flew when shot
-how many distinct pieces it was blown into
-how far apart the pieces landed

Brought a .308 on the next trip.

Some guy in Cortez, Colorado converted a street-sweeper into a PD vacuum.
He would "humanely" remove and relocate PDs.

Upon hearing of this device, my first thought: Load it up and reverse the vacuum!

PULL! ... THOOMP! ... KABLAM! :D

You forgot, Jack Benny, Uncle Miltie, and Kaptian Kangaroo, Howdy Doody, the Flying Kings.

My much older cousin built a hide site for us near the Alfalfa stack yard, we used .22 S, L, and LR rounds. We got .05 cents for head shots and proven body count, he was a Nam LRRP.

What was more fun was turning out irrigation water to flood them out. We had an endless supply of Bull Snakes too. I ran when a Badger went after my heels. My Dingo saved my ass and took a good licking in the process. 'Dusty' was a damn good dog!
