Think I may order a Tops BOB and an Izula.

Sure has grown fast, WW. How tall is he now at the shoulders and how much does he weight?

Yes he has, He is 7.5 months old now and when i look at his puppy pictures im like, damn where did the time go....

I honestly haven't had him weighed in a while. But he is about 16 inches at the withers. I doubt he will get any taller, if so not much at all. He his pretty much at his full adult height and length now according to the breed standard. He might get a little thicker and stockier, i have read they can keep filling out until 2 years old. I was told males faces get fatter when they get 1-2 years old as well.

We have a small fenced in back yard area. Its only about 10'x15' but Neko loves it out there. In the last week or so though he has killed 5 mice back there. Mostly at night. He has learned i dont want him to eat them, that or he lost interests in eating them because now he is just killing them and bringing them to me and dropping them at my feet. Good i dont want him eating them. He eats better than lots of people, he doesnt need any mice. I also havent seen a single mouse inside since he killed 2 of them over a month or 2 ago. Now he goes outside and hunts them down!! He keeps going after birds too, but has not caught one of them yet.... He just hasnt figured out how to fly yet LOL

But naming him Neko turned out PERFECT. He grooms himself, doesnt like being held, and catches and kills mice... He is a better cat than most the cats i have had LMAO

One huge difference is he loves water though.

I bet he is going to make a great garden "protector"!! Anything that moves will be bitten LOL

Here is my buddy, he just got through playing in the water and rolling around in the dirt... he is a happy camper!!!

Thats a seriously cute Pup.

I can't find it on their site, but they have a deal called "The Fat Man Challenge" or something like that, it's a HUGE burger and fries with everything on it, weighs 3-4 pounds or something insane. If you finish it all in a certain time you get a t-shirt and your picture on the Wall of Fame. If you try it and fail, they put your picture on the Wall of Shame

Pass me a lefty and sign me up I get some seriously crazy Godzilla eating powers after that. My one problem would be the time limit. I once spent about almost 3 hours in a Montana's at all you could eat ribs night. Downed between 5-6lbs of ribs lol.

See man i lost around 60 bucks thinking the same thing in the past.

There are times i can wipe out a fridge, then there are times i eat regularly.

But one time i decided to "cheat" with a couple good smokes and take this 70 ounce steak challenge.... Eat the entire meal in 1 hour and its free.... I didnt make it LMAO

LoL! but you tried! I'd so do the same thing.

 

[worldwood]

Man, he looks great!

Thanks man, i think he is looking great as he ages.

Im glad he kept a lot of his sesame coloring, gives him more of a wild look. Not that i would have cared if he was a solid red, but i like the mix of colors.

 

[worldwood]

LoL! but you tried! I'd so do the same thing.

In Allentown PA there is/was a place called Gregory’s Steakhouse that supposedly has a 120 OZ ribeye.

I heard it closed due to a fire but is suppose to reopen, may already be reopened i dont know... But that is a LOT of meat.

Did you see that lady that ate two 72 oz steaks and trimmings in like 15 minutes?

http://www.nbcdfw.com/news/local/Woman-Downs-Two-72-Ounce-Steaks-in-Record-Time-260711071.html

I could never eat that much at my hungriest, much less that fast...

 

[worldwood]

Yea me either, but id get it and split it with the wife and kids

Thats insane. She is not a big girl either. Then she says she could of ate a 3rd

This is not the kind of woman you want to marry unless you have a herd of cattle or own a super market.

That's a handsome dog, ww. I think the mouse thing is pretty normal. Our Maggie will eat squirrels like candy, but as for rats and possums, she just snaps their necks and leaves them by the door or on the steps coming up to the deck. My cat Slippy doesn't eat anything she kills (that I know of), just now and then I'll find a dead snake or mouse mutilated in the middle of the shop floor. She once scared the hell out me with a baby bunny once... my daughter and I heard something screaming and crying downstairs... sounded almost human Turns out Slippy had caught it outside, brought it into the basement, and by the time I found her she had it about half-skinned - but still alive. Vicious little bat-faced rascal... I love that cat :thumbup:

I have a pretty healthy appetite, but I ain't trying nothing like that or the 72-oz steak challenge. My old drummer and I once ordered a 5# "cheeseburger" pizza and tried to eat it all in one sitting, not even on a time limit. We got sickly and gave up about 1/3 of the way through. As I recall neither of could stand the sight of pizza for a few weeks after that. How/why some people gulp down 50 hot dogs or a gallon of sour cream in those crazy eating competitions, I will never understand.

Now, a drinking contest... that's a different story. Not timed (make me chug and I promise I will barf on you), but the long haul. I'm more of a marathon guy than a sprinter in that regard

So just to recap: Guy was selling a TM Hunt Maguna and Hornet but would only take paypal, but I don't have a PP account and really don't feel like getting one (I've tried before and always had problems with them) but I had commented that I would have bought them if he would have taken a USPS MO. Anyway, I get an email from a BH that I haven't really ever interacted with (I don't know if he wants me putting his name out or not so I'll leave him anonymous for now) offering to buy the knives for me and I would send him a MO for the cost of the knives and shipping so I do it.

He paid for everything out of his own pocket and told me to wait on paying him until the knives were actually in the mail and on their way even though I offered to mail him the payment sooner. He emailed me again today to tell me that he got them and will be mailing them off tomorrow and to top it off the seller knocked $30 off the price because he/I/we bought two knives! Plus they knives look unused, which doesn't surprise me because I think they were blade show leftovers.

So two practically new Hunt knives for $210 + a USPS flat rate box which is like 5 bucks. I'm pretty stoked.

Incredible deal on those Hunts. :thumbup:

Today, my neighbor showed me his new knife, a Benchmade auto model AFO II. Thank you, Knife Rights, for your work on TN knife laws.

Mmmmmm. KDSH coming soon to keep my Crash Rat company.

That's cool. One thing I miss about Oregon is pretty lax knife laws. You can legally carry and auto as long as it's not concealed.

Thanks man, Neko only wishes wild rabbits roamed these parts LOL

And cats are RUTHLESS! I mean really they are kind of cruel animals LMAO, its not uncommon for them to torture something for hours with the only point being amusement. I had one that would throw a mouse in the bathtub where it couldnt get out easily and the cat would get in and just sling him all around slowly biting limbs and stuff off..

I dont have any problems with cats..I prefer dogs but i dont hate cats or anything.. My wife was about to get a new kitten from her cousin a week ago or so.... I told her do it at her own risk because Neko is a BEAST. Basically saying not to do it, but my wife doesnt take being told what to do very well so i sugar coated it... She is still considering it, said she still might bring a kitten home... Women If Neko ever hurt the kitten she would blame me too i bet...

This video is VERY funny, i couldnt figure out how to post the video itself so you have to click the link.. My wife LOVES cats and she still cracked up at the video..
