I just wanna know what this creature is, not look at stupid nekkid women and just what in the hell does a book about Viet Nam, especially this one, have to do with whatever this thing is, anyway?

Christ Almighty.

I keep seeing this critter, or maybe it's "these critters" around here.
I don't know what they are, besides beautiful.

They're brown, long and low and are usually near some kinda water source.

I didn't, and still don't, know if they're ferrets, skinny muskrats, weasels or what.

Today, I found one dead along the side of the road. (I hate humans... ig'nernt basstids...)
SO... I scooped his ass up and showed Eric.

He says it's a weasel.

It's a boy, that's for sure. Big ol' cajones evident.
He's brown, a deep, dark luxuriant brown, with a white speck under his (mangled) chin and a splash of white on his belly.
He's about 16 inches long, 10" of body, 6" of tail, which is rather fluffy and soft.
So's his coat, by the way.
He's got a (bloody, flat) mouth fulla needle sharp teeth and a kinda small lookin' head for such a large body.
Or, maybe that has do to with being squashed by a car... I dunno.
Little, cute feet and very short legs and no smell about him whatsoever, so that kinda nixes the ferret idea.

I came on home, placed him gently in the dumpster (well, I thought that had a tad more diginity about it than being left along the road to be picked at by ugly-assed buzzards-n-shit...) and came in here to see if I could find a similar critter in an "images" search.

Pfft.

First page, I get this shit.
Not only do none of these weasels look like the poor lil guy I found, but JUST WHAT DA HELL DO NEKKID BIMBO WHORE-CHICKS HAVE TO DO WITH ANY OF IT?
Honestly....
Like I wanna see that crap.

So, one of the suggested search terms is "wild weasels".
I try that, figuring he wasn't a pet, right?

Again... pfft.

This time, I get this.
Y'okay.
This has a lot to do with it, too.
*rolling eyes*
However, this is a lot less offensive than nekkid stupidbitches, I suppose.
I scroll on down to see if there are any actual PICTURES OF A FRIGGIN' WEASEL and find this, which, by the way, has the longest "address" I've ever seen, Gawd.

Now, I have this book, Thud Ridge.
I have it because it tells what happened to my first father-in-law when he was captured during the war.
He spent seven years in the Hanoi Hilton.
The chapter about him is called The Longest Mission.
Very intense.

I can sum it up thusly...
He got shot down. He parachuted to a "safe" spot and his alert/signal was picked up by our guys.
Too bad HE wasn't.
One thing after another, shitty weather, shitty chopper engines, shitty everything kept them from going back for him for days.
When they finally did get a good shot at getting him back safely to base, they flew over where he'd been and still got the beeper signal.
They went to "voice" comm and when they got an answer, it was in Vietnamese.
So they knew he was pretty much fucked.
And he was for seven long years.
He's home, been home since the early 70's.
Yay that.

But, I ask again... da fuck does any of this have to do with weasels or whatever the hell the critter was that I found?

All I wanna know is what he is.

I mean, I'm glad to think of Joe and his happy ending and all.
It's just disconcerting to be looking for pictures of a wild animal and find Thud Ridge and it's downright nauseating to find nekkid bimbos.
Know what I'm sayin'?

I'm almost scared to look anymore.

And, I still wanna know if you can piss a rat off so bad his head'll explode.
'Cause, yeah, Rat Bastard is still at it, only now, it's only every other day he digs back through.
I don't know if I'm wearin' his ass out or he's just getting too fulla fresh, green horseshit to do this shit every day.
*shrugs*

It's amazing, the crap your brain will zero in on when yer trying to not go insane while you wait for (good) news about one of your most favoritest people, huh?
