Some folks were talking Beatles.
I don't have much of an opinion on the Beatles per se, but they're songs can tend to be overrated. It was a pop band. They did pop. They did really good pop and were very experimental, but they were pop.
It was mentioned above that many are resentful and personally I think that has to do around the cult of personality that developed around the band and that there is only one right and correct opinion to be had about them. (As an aside, they don't get a lot of radio play cuz the fucking royalties are sky high.)
Take any other stupidly influential band like Zepplin, Sabbath or fucking Rush and people will have their opinions. *Their* opinions. Honest opinions, not the opinions they're supposed to have. Those three bands are probably just as influential as The Beatles (I'd argue Sabbath a little more so) but those three also get tons more play on modern active and classic rock stations. Also, none of the members of those bands have achieved the level of dick sucking adoration from critics like the Beatles (although Neil Peart might be worshipped as the second coming of Christ).
The Beatles have left their mark on pop and rock. Tons of old timers cite them as influences. Lemmy Kilmister called them the greatest rock band ever. Hey, if they're good enough for Lemmy that's good enough for me. But the fucking mindless worship has to stop. They were a band, they wrote songs. Good songs, they did some shit songs, Abbey Road was really good, but people need to stop chugging their cocks.

And I'd like to find something that's snazzy

Well, there was "Mad Jack" Churchill [no relation to Winston], who was a commando with the BEF in 1940 before the fall of France. Armed with a longbow as well as a Scottish broadsword, Churchill took out a German Feldwebel (staff sergeant) with a barbed arrow. He is the only British soldier known to have killed an enemy combatant during WWII with a longbow.

But if you can do it without freaking out, 2 or 3 big heavy towels, take the laundry basket off (they're slow), throw the towels on him, wrap him up as you scoop him up, and hustle him out the door. They're not near as dangerous as a raccoon.

thought "Hmmmm, I wonder why nobody in the Civil War had guys who used
longbows -- given the range and lethality and rate of fire? I mean, not a
lot of guys, but some.
After Waterloo a British officer suggested the same. (I've forgotten the incident where he thought they'd have been useful. It's reported in David Howarth's Waterloo: A Near Run Thing. Maybe the later massive French cavalry charges where they were mainly loitering around the squares with the squares reserving their fire?) But you can train a peasant or a townie how to use a flintlock musket (let alone a percussion cap weapon) to deadly effect in an afternoon; it takes years and constant training to make an effective combat bowman. And you could use a handful of real riflemen, contrasted with smoothbore use, for any required long-range fire regarding your afterthought.

I found it in my daddy's old records

That sounds more like Armadillos. Armadillos are nasty, nasty little creatures. I knew guys in high school who thought it was fun to catch one and throw it in the bed of a pick up truck. Yeah, if you think a pickup bed full of the nastiest shit you ever smelled in your life is fun, go for it.

Don't recall any "climate change" idiocy. Jeebus. Tell me you're kidding, please!
One reason I remain resolutely pessimistic. Ludicrous, heavy-handed lysenkoism has been absorbed by so much of the population (though, notwithstanding some "surveys", overall, when given a clear concrete choice, Americans side with practicality and economic opportunity over pseudo-science activism).

So you're up late for a right coaster. Poring over gun stuff for a gun thread, or food stuff for a food thread?
I am kicking myself for failing to submit, in a timely manner, for the moron cookbook, a recipe for cooking bacon with a semi-auto rifle barrel. Not that I've done it, but it seems pretty simple. I think there's even a uTube video of Ted Cruz doing this at a range in TX.
Of course the only semi-autos I own, M1s of both sizes, really aren't suitable. The Garand of course has barely any exposed top metal, and the carbine has that teeny little barrel, and wimpish ammo that probably doesn't generate that much heat (have never checked).
In choosing components for my first AR build, maybe I should incorporate a bacon-cooking functionality?

Abby, somehow a bat got into my house and I was pretty freaked out. My husband had passed away and I had to deal with it on my own.
So I calmed myself down and started using my brain. First I closed all of the doors in the hallway so it couldn't flap its way into another room. Then I did essentially what was suggested upthread - trapped it with a Tupperware container, then slipped the lid underneath. Then I carried it out front in the yard where the cat wouldn't get it, and flung it into the ivy.
You Can Do This. It's A Good Thing.

I hope it makes into the cookbook, for exactly the above reasons.
I'd sent Bluebell a process by which to accurately capture ANY *throw together* recipe, be it Granny's or Elle May's, or anyone from Teh Horde.
It works. And you can reduce your best "bit of this, bit of that" cooking, into a defineable recipe, INCLUDING, tricks of process, technique and the ART of the cook.
Y'all be sure to encourage Bluebell to SOMEWHERE, (even in an afterword), to include this chapter.
Because many of you need to save Granny's finest efforts for posterity, pride and provenance.
It needs to be in the book. Please let her know this.

Placed inside the pots - out of reach of most critters. Baited first with peanut butter - poor results; then a block of cheap cheddar cheese (right out of my childhood cartoons), with great results.
"Thwack" in the middle of the night. The boss would say "a funeral tomorrow". The funeral consisted of tossing the former thief into the canyon, for various players to consume.
Got about 11 or 12 - then no more. Must have killed a whole nest. A ratocide, as it were.
And one morning, early, heard some odd sounds that I unfortunately correctly analyzed. A crow - dumbass - had managed to get down into a container and get his head stuck in a trap (must have smarted). He was flapping around, unable to shake it off. Pinned the trap down with a spade shovel, and used one of those grabbers to snag and open the trap. Bird just nonchalantly walked away, then took flight.

Back in the Jurassic, all the land masses were combined - Planet Earth had one continent, and one ocean, and both were YUGE. But mysterious things happened deep, deep beneath the crust and all of these plates broke up and started to move. The plates making up what is now Australia, Antarctica, and South America stuck together the longest, and this land mass is where the marsupials, the earliest form of mammals, developed.
Australia broke off on it own and retained them as the dominant life form; you know what happened to Antarctica. South America was one full of marsupials, but they eventually got replaced except for a few that figured out how to survive in the great rain forest that has been there forever. When North America crashed into South America about 20 million years ago, some of these critters managed to migrate north across the new land bridge and become established in the great forests they found up here.
and so, the Possums we see running around in the woods really are more closely related to the Kangaroos and Wombats in Australia than they are to anything else on this continent. Which, to me at least, really does make them kinda cool.

Yeah that's the problem I had. It took a few years to crack the code on my grandmother's recipes. One reason is it was half Italian, half English, some written in pencil that was faded, a few splatters, and the book itself totally looked like Sean Connery's grail diary in Indiana jones. I had the wife go to my grandmother's house a few years before she died, and stand right next to her and watch her actually do it just to get the meatball and gravy recipe, and I told her to write down all of it.
Well I asked the wife for them, and she hands me a stack of papers, because it seems each recipe is 3-4 pages because she literally recorded everything. One line told of my grandmother having a bowl of water for her to dip her fingers in if they got dry while rolling the meatballs into shape. Every last detail. The wife nailed the recipe nuts on when she tried them, but damn the instructions look like something nasa wrote. I couldn't find a way to condense it without screwing up the mojo.

There was a dead possum next to my mailbox one day when I came home. I got a snow shovel and carried it out back and dumped it in the unkempt woods in the neighbor's back yard. They never go out there.
The next day I saw a turkey buzzard and a large hawk having a Mexican standoff over the corpse in my backyard. One of those bastards had dragged it out of the woods so they could work it over properly. I tossed it back into the woods.
This process was repeated over the next three days. Both birds would NOT leave the damned thing alone. Must've been pretty tasty.

Abby:
Do you have a shovel? If the possum is close enough to the door, you should be able to use a shovel to pick it up and toss it outside.
If the dog gets excited (plan on this), keep the shovel a few inches above the level of the dog's nose while moving, yell at the dog as needed, toss everything outside, and lock the dog outside if it gets the possum again.

google possum vids on youtube. you are not going to want to pick it up but it is not as ferocious and dangerous as it seems.
otherwise, call the fire department. when was the last time they did something for you?

A 50 foot wave has a horizontal wavelength of about 700 feet. So these enormous ships, 700 feet long, that which Navy destroyers should not boop, are somewhat immune to a rocking motion? That can't be right. I mean a ship of that size bends at least a little.

One night there was a thunderstorm. Since I don't have ac, I had the window open with a fan in it, blowing in cool.
I sleep with the door closed, but it's an old house, and the door won't latch. The changes in the wind velocity would suck the door open, then slam it shut. This happened every few minutes, but still, I fell asleep.
Then I woke to go to the water closet. I turned on the light, and water was on the floor, and seemed to be running out of the bottom of the cabinet above the toilet. I couldn't figure out what the hell. I was half asleep.
I figured out it was running out of the line coming out of the floor next to the commode. it had broken off. I turned off the faucet on the floor.
What a weird night.

Today is also the exact 5-year anniversary of something very odd and unexpected:
On July 1, 2012, someone with the user name "Sam Bacile" uploaded to YouTube the first publicly-seen version of "The Innocence of Muslims" -- the 14-minute short version of a (never seen) 2-hour movie about the life of Mohammed.
It was this video which was the backstory to the whole Benghazi scandal, when Hillary falsely blamed the video as the inspiration for the embassy Al Qaeda attack two months later. Y'all know the story.
Anyway, today is the five-year anniversary of the first appearance of the obscure video, which no one had heard of until Hillary pointed the finger of blame at it -- and thereby causing actual outrage, riots and deaths among Muslim maniacs worldwide. In fact, there is STILL outrage about it, and the reverberations still echo.

I left out that the water was under enough pressure to be hitting the bottom of the wall-hung cupboard above the toilet, with enough force to be streaming then down from the cupboard.

Oh he DID make the full movie! It was shown exactly once, in a private (or semi-private) screening.
The 14-minute version was only ever intended as a trailer to advertise the full film. But events overwhelmed the filmmaker, so he never got the chance to show it to public audiences, and then the Feds almost certainly confiscated all copies of the full version when they unconstitutionally threw him in jail for violating Al Qaeda's sensibilities. So it's now in some federal vault next to the Ark of Covenant, as we saw in the final scene of Raiders of the Lost Ark. Never to be seen again, most likely.
Actually, the full version is mostly NOT about Mohammed, but instead is a reenactment of various atrocities committed against Coptic Christians in modern-day Egypt. That was actually the whole point of the film. The Mohammed stuff was just a sub-plot to explain to the viewer that the ideology of Islam commands followers to persecute infidels, such as Coptics.

Reminds me of an aquatic version of "August Heat," the all-time classic spooky short story. Something about your comment reminds me of the writing style and emotions in "August Heat." But yours only lack the spine-tingling final sentences. let's hope the nightmare never gets that far!

Even THAT comment was written like August Heat!
The whole story is about someone having a weird nightmarish vision, wondering whether he will survive til the next day. I'd be willing to bet that somewhere in the story, the lead character says, " I will do it tomorrow, during the day," and the reader thinks, "No! You won't make it til tomorrow! Run away! Run away now while you still have a chance!"
Things are getting spooky around here.
