Sounds reasonable to me.

On the other hand, I live in Texas ;)

Was he hunting leprechauns? Did he have a flute?

Wait, why would one take a flute leprechaun hunting?

I'm lost...

Headline says he was lurking in the bushes.
First line of the article states that he was lurking in some trees.
The rest of the article makes it sound like he was just walking through the trees with a flashlight.

The shortest distance between two points is a straight line. Maybe he was just making his own shortcut? I've thought about hacking a new path through the woods to the packie and cutting ten minutes off of the walk...

Lurking is to walking like nekkid is to naked: when you're nekkid, you are naked and up to something.

You can't even walk down the streets anymore without being farked in the ass by dirty cops.

Sounds like mc chris.

Hoodie Ninja (new window)

I've done this before. Of course, without the flashlight, machete, spider bite, or hooded sweatshirt. In fact not even cigarettes were involved, but there was a wife.

Now it is illegal to walk around as a modern day ninja. Darn cops challenging our civil liberties.

wambu,
Lurking is to walking like nekkid is to naked: when you're nekkid, you are naked and up to something.

So only cops can legally lurk now?

"Nursing a spider bite"? WTF was he bitten by?

I'd give you that since lurking is sneaking but he was using a flashlight. He wasn't going to be sneaking up on anybody. On Nov 12th, when this happened, the high was 66 and low was 27. There is a good chance that it was a bit cold that night, this would completely negate wearing a hooded sweatshirt.

The report doesn't tell enough about his body language when he pulled out the machete. According to what was said, the officer asked what he was holding and the guy showed him, then dropped it. It's not like he denied having any weapons and then whipped it out.

Presumably because of "nursing."

Sounds legit.

He just wanna know where da gold at!

Is that considered wrong? Should I not do that?

Sometimes fetch quests take you through a mob infested area, you know.

It's a bit late in the year for midnight farming, we've already had the first frost down here and the weed harvest is already in. Could be he's robbing someone's patch and didn't know that. Easy to get bit by a spider midnight farming, you make a path and the bugs will spin a web in a day or two, and you can't see the spider webs in the dark.

So, I'm walking through my apartment complex last night on my way to the mailboxes, and I'm dressed all in black. Some guy stops me and says, "Hey, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to the mailbox..."
"Dressed all in black?"
"Yeah. I just got off work."
"Really? What do you do?"
".... I'm a Ninja"

Knowing what sort of implements I've used to chase down spiders in my apartment, I think it's reasonable to assume he was seeking revenge on the spider that bit him.

I killt one with a 2x4 once.

/Thing was so darn huge it took two hits to finish the job.

It's a story so crazy, it has to be true.

Did you know that more people die from black widows than rattlers every year?

Why wouldn't you? That's how you catch them. Doesn't everyone know this?

I don't know, but mine has been passed down for thousands of years.
