Enormous Earthworms are Terrorizing Nevada?

Kismet-- Dune is one of my favorite books-- a true masterpiece. However, I never really got into the sebsequent books in the series. The first few are ok, but I found myself losing interest and never finished the series.

Thats because he didn't have as much to say in the other books, Dune was his masterpiece. Ever notice he borrowed nearly everything from the desert on earth and the peoples who live in them?
with some notable exceptions, like giant worms and spice..

So you mean to tell me there aint no giant worms in Saudi? And here Bruise had me convinced that he needed to borrow a cup of khuks to fightem.:mad: :D :eek: :confused:
 
Look here, the great state of Nevada is definitely worth saving. I've strained my brain for a solution to this terrifying killer earthworm threat, and here it is. Ducks eat worms. We know where there's a duck armed to the teeth with M-43s, and we know he's down in Florida. The USAF has a special operations wing in Florida equipped with Spectre gunships and PAVE-LOW helicopters. I propose we tactically insert the duck in the vicinity of the giant worms, and give him air support from the Spectres while he goes hand to hand with the enemy.

It could work, what do y'all think? Send out the duck alarm, call forth the Quackipuss.:rolleyes: :D

How does someone in France get the name Cougar? There aren't cougars in France, are there? How come my nameisn't Cougar? Or maybe, 'Buck Thorn'... Life really is unfair.

munk,

May I suggest a multi-component prescription that will enable you find the answer to this vexing question, and probably some others that you didn't even know needed answering?

A) Assemble mass quantities of popcorn and a corresponding amount of an accompanying beverage.

B) Watch a bunch of OLD "Saturday Night Live" videotapes.

C) Record any information that you glean regarding the geneology of the Conehead family.

D) Repeat as needed.
 
eh,.. well, firkin; Buckthorn is a plant in the desert. Almost every plant there tears, pierces or scatches. Catclaw is worse. I used to joke with my friends about 'Buckthorn' and what a hollywood sounding name it was. One day I met someone actually named Buck Thorn.

I'm afraid 'munk' or even 'firkin' will never compete on a level playing field to Buck Thorn or even Cougar Allen.

I propose a public service commercial to save Nevada. Along the lines of, "Got Milk?"

"Nevada; just add water."

That's it? What part of the plan haven't you told us about?

I know what regular eathworms do when the lawn is over-watered....There really are some earthworms in S. America that get up to over an inch in diameter, and around six foot long.

As far as names, I knew a joker whose parents had favored him with the name Kingsley. Yup, you guessed it: "Glad to meet ya, just call me King"...
 
Firkin; have you ever been to Nevada?


Anyway, earth worms could not survive very long there, in 95% of it's earth.

They've been observed and traced to a radius around Yucca Mountain, which has shut down access to the area.

Just think about this: there were no sightings of them until after Nevada denied water rights to the feds, and now we see the giant worms.

There is so far no confirmation that they have been loaded aboard C5A'a heading for Iraq.
 
What does the duck need air support for? A duck is air support -- and that particular duck could bomb the enemy with khukuris for years before he could empty his stockpile -- he has whole caves full of them!

Oops, musta missed the part where the population of Nevada by giant earthworms was evaluated realistically.:footinmou

I was hoping that the second part of the plan was that Elvis would return to Earth from his abode on Mars (see past editions of the Weekly World News) and lead all the surfaced giant worms away like the Pied Piper.:p
 
Cougar, the reason this duck needa air support is simple. Look up Yvsa's translation of the name "Walking Eagle"

"Walking Eagle" = "So full of Sh!t he can't fly!!!!" :rolleyes: :p :D ;)
 
That being the case, if we drop him from sufficient altitude without a parachute, the resulting explosion/distribution of fecal matter may defeat the worms by denying them of their habitat.

Oh, I'm gonna pay for that one, might better initiate E&E right now!:D

I should have known I'd make a fool of myself trying to fake like I know what's going on after so long away from the Cantina. Well, I'll just have to catch up.

So, he claims to be a flightless duck, does he? A likely story! If he can't fly how can you be sure he's a duck? There are other birds that look similar to ducks, you know, and some of them are flightless. I suspect he's not really a duck at all! Could he be ... The Last of the Dodos? :eek:

That could account for his mysterious attraction to red-headed female humans. Ducks prefer to find mates among their own kind, but if he's really a dodo there aren't any of his own kind available -- if he wants to mate he has to make do.
 
Retirment is looking Better! Don't have to deal with....kids come here so I ain't allowed to say certain things!Cougar,ha ! just a house kitty been declawed!NDN,is feeling fiesty! Patooy not fair to pick on an"OLD" person!Think of my walk as John Wayne like!As for flying,only group "I" fly with are A10'S!! "WE" fly with something
you HEATHENS can't identify with,it's called "STYLE"!! Worms!!Cheez,you guys have tbl with everything!!K's,you all have "no" idea!!BYE!! Gone fishing!! May not return!:D

Take the Hawaii crowd that seems permanently rooted in the downtown Las Vegas casinos. Convince them that roasted earthworm goes well with poi and lomi lomi salmon. Highlight that the earthworms are free for the taking. Species should be extinct in under a month.
 
No, if we tell them it's free they won't be interested. Charge them $100 a serving! Then it'll instantly become popular -- not just in Las Vegas, rich idiots will have it flown to them all over the country (remember grapefruit?) -- and everybody in Nevada who isn't an idiot will be out hunting giant worms.

I foresee a couple of potential problems with that idea, though. First, I don't know how the giant worms are terrorizing Nevada (I only read the headline). Is it safe to hunt them?

Second, what if the worm hunters buy up all of Bill's khukuris as fast as he can get them in and there are none left for us?
