In some sort of southern-ish accent it was always "Feel it with Dezel." Man, she was so bent on making sure we knew she was above us in society. Duh. That job actually was my first exposure to Mercedes diesels. We used to call them "rabid mobies" only because of the foamy nature of diesel. And we could always hear them coming before we saw them, owing to what I now know as the "klatta klatta". They almost invariably came into full serve. Didn't get too nervous around these luxury autos after a while. I remember some unfortunate new employee, however, who left the nozzle in a guy's Jaguar, allowing him to pull away. OOOPS. Ah, memories. Now I'm a rabid mobiler.

Don't Marines consider themselves always Marines? I remember hearing something like this from my grandfather (USMC, Korea 1952-53, and other FAR NICER places for the other 2 years). Marshall doesn't seem the type to tell us his personal story. As a yungin' I find it frustrating when older folk DON'T talk about things. My grandfather refuses to talk about Korea, most German won't talk about WWII. HOWEVER, after having seen "Untergang" (downfall) and the opening seens of Saving Private Ryan (my other grandfather landed on Omaha Beach on D-Day). I can UNDERSTAND why they prefer to not speak, but it's still frustrating. Talking to someone who was there is 100X better than reading a book about it. One of my mechanics was an East Prussian. He talked about the firebombing of Koengisberg (he was two and only remembers what his older sister told him)...they watched it from the hills where they dug a house in the ground. Their escape via ship from the Red Army (largest sea evac ever - 3,000,000 people - also the scene of the 3 largest sea disasters ever as the Russians sank huge ships full of wounded and civilian evacuees - HORRIBLE story), then they got stuck in East Germany and his first memory was as a four years old, their escape to the west near a Commie check point in the forest. He wept, but at least he spoke and I respected him for having the courage to do that for my sake, to answer my questions. And he was PRUSSIAN. They don't cry that easily! WAAY off topic, sorry.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
They dont do anything in the country here. If you live the city you can call the animal control and they are supposed to come out and get it. You CANT however take a dog yourself down there, they wont take it. IF you live out in the country like I do(yet I still have to hassle with the planning commission) they wont do anything. YOu can call them and tell them you are bringing a dog in and they wont take it. Call the sherriffs office and they say they wont do anything either. They say to just shoot it. And this with a state wide leash law for dogs. Kevin wrote: On Wed, Jan 18, 2006 at 06:00:55PM -0600, Kaleb C.

It'd get used when we had a nuisence cat, like the stray that wouldn't come in and live inside but liked to poop on my Dad's car or when a cat is sick and dying and needs putting out of its misery. Very humane thing the cat gun. I used it once on a dog that got hit by a car in front of our house, thing was in such terrible shape I don't know what was keeping it alive but I couldn't bear to see it like that. I was amazed when I went to college and somehow got talking about the cat gun and a girl I went to school with was screaming at me and calling me all sorts of terrible things for shooting cats, she thought they should be "put to sleep".

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
For the record I dont see ANYTHING wrong with plunking a BB at a cat/dog/whatever that is doing something its not supposed to. It will not kill said animal but will shock them into thinking twice. Now if you load up a pellet instead and pump that sucker up quite a bit, you could get a lethal shot I suppose, but not with a low powered bb. Its better than having to all out shoot to kill the thing. Tom Hargrave wrote: Not your fault - I started this one with my "CO2 powered pellet gun" comment, which I still think is funny.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
We have two adorable black Bombay kittens (minipanthers), both of whom love to jump up on the kitchen counter. We keep a water squirter handy as a deterrent. It's cost-effective (cheap), humane, and highly effective. You should see the look on the cat's face when we merely threaten him with the water bottle. BTW, I should add that they both drink from a Drinkwell Pet Fountain (highly recommended) and love to play in the sink while I am brushing my teeth. Therefore, there have been NO traumatic side effects from the regular jolts of H2O. On 1/18/06, Dave M. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Amen.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
My family has always had a designated "cat gun" with which to dispatch cats. It'd get used when we had a nuisence cat, like the stray that wouldn't come in and live inside but liked to poop on my Dad's car or when a cat is sick and dying and needs putting out of its misery. Very humane thing the cat gun. I used it once on a dog that got hit by a car in front of our house, thing was in such terrible shape I don't know what was keeping it alive but I couldn't bear to see it like that. I was amazed when I went to college and somehow got talking about the cat gun and a girl I went to school with was screaming at me and calling me all sorts of terrible things for shooting cats, she thought they should be "put to sleep". I told her thats what I was doing.

Neither. My point is was everything was a joke, period.

I just heard about someone (have to look this up) who rigged a motion detector, high pressure water, and aiming devices to squirt gophers automatically in his back yard. It got rid of them.

Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
My solution to cat prints on the car is to keep the car so dirty that the cats don't want to touch it. ;)
Re: [MBZ] mistakes a diesel owner should not make
I'm all for jokes, but there are a lot of people who actually DO demented stuff like this, not just joke about it - which is why I don't find it humorous. I also thing a lot of people don't realize what a slow, excruciatlingly painful death it causes (takes several days). It's not like it makes them peacefully go to sleep one night and never wake up. Maybe I'm a little more touchy about it because I've had direct personal experience with the effects of antifreeze on an animal. Sorry if I flew off the handle.

I'm just going to allow nature to take its course. There has been coyote sightings in the neighborhood so I reckon that it's just a matter of time.

Easy fix, just slather the car with lard right before you go to bed. That or you could give the whole thing a bath in that 'essence of Bengal tiger urine' they sell as cat repellant. Either way you wouldn't be bothered by cat prints - probably because you wouldn't go near the car. A bucket of rancid yak fat will work, too, and it's a great conversation starter. Just the thing to cover your datemobile with. -- Jim
