Poor rabbit, but at the same time it's not like I can be upset with this killing machine doing what it was made to do.
Orange killing machine? Attaching the picture of my little "Orange killing machine" below, it's after I got her a close hair/fur-cut, now she again has very long hair. I never let her out but her eyes light up whenever she sees any kinda insect around, always kills them and then doesn't know what to do with them.
Poor little rabbit. I'm surprised he brought it home alive to amuse you, was probably looking for treats?

My company transferred me to a new client site today. Not sure what I'm more pissed about, the hour and 15 minute commute (previous was 20 min) or that everyone here needs constant supervision and I can't be on BP all day.

That's what drove me out of Consulting Work that I was doing on the side a few years ago. Figured it would be a nice way of making easy money....especially since I had a kid starting college.

Plus I always had people calling me, so I decided to set up shop and did it for about 5 years. Used it long enough to pretty much pay off all our debts and put our daughter through her first 4 years, then just got tired of constantly being bothered.

Now I value my time off more than anything in the world!

I had a similar experience with my old german shepard. At the time I lived on a farm so she could roam as much as she wanted. So she used to bring me her trophies. Except instead of rabbits and rodents, she would bring me ground hogs and deer heads. I witnessed her take down a doe once, it was pretty wild. But like you said, I couldn't be upset with her, it's what she was made to do.

That's a really damn cute cat man! Those eyes! Pictures of Hamilton can be found over in the pet thread. He's currently rocking his summer lion hair cut.

A deer?!?!? WOW!!! I was half saddened and half impressed when Hamilton brought home the rabbit. I mean, that thing was the almost as big as he is (he's 22 pounds) and rabbits are fast as hell.....but a deer? Damn!

i drove an i3, i8, a benz electric drive and a model 3 performance

i3 was the most fun but the i8 grabs attention of EVERYONE. we had 60 something year old women ask what it is to young kids grabbing a picture. plus the amount of necks it breaks downtown especially at night is great for a 21 year old single guy

I feel like you are stating that you like the i8 the best. And if true, that might just be one of the dirtiest confessions here - certainly on this page.

I mean...the i8...its...I don't know. I just can't get over the fact that a car that looks like that has a three cylinder engine from a Mini buzzing away behind me. It's just...for the price...I can't. I can't get over it.

I say this, because as soon as MKSixer finds your post, he's going to feel all sorts of justified, and I purposely didn't tag him so that his job isn't easy finding this. But I also put this post in so that he can read it right after and it will balance him out again. Allow his head to fit in through the doorway and all again.

but... it is the best BMW you can buy today (new). at least feels like it; havent driven the 850i yet.

the i8 isnt a beast lets be honest but it feels faster than a stock M4 non-zcp plus it looks baller... im glad my man MKSixer has one!

besides depretiation hit these cars like a train, you can find them for $50-60k. at that price i'd say its a no brainer, the i8 toadster looks better but those are too new still

A close friend of mine bought an i3 the same month I bought my E93. I love the interior of that thing. It's amazing at how quiet and how damn fast it is. He's a tech guru and has coded/modded the shit out of the computer on that thing. He recently added the hardware for it to be able to drive itself. It's pretty bad ass.

The first week he had it, he had the battery die on him in the middle of an intersection blocking traffic until a tow truck could come haul it to the closest charging station. He was equal parts pissed off and embarrassed.

While my wife was out of town last week, a package of cookies from JW Marriott came in the mail. I didn’t know why they came but i ate them and they were delicious.

So she returns on Sunday and tells me this story of how JW Marriott completely overbooked the night she flew in and put her in this shit show of rebooking that went on past midnight. She’s over it at this point but at the time she said, she really let their management have it verbally.

So clearly those cookies were sent as an apology and were consumed by a totally undeserving individual...

dude it's actually fun-fast, i absolutely loved that thing. it handled pretty well too because it is light i guess. and yeah the battery part sucks and so i'd consider it more of a toy than a daily, but i'd love to have a i3 with a tesla battery... 🤔

But WHY does an i3 have to LOOK like an electric car????? It drives like a freaking go-cart, was so much fun. Put an aerodynamic, but not quite i8, body on top of it so you can't TELL that I'm driving an electric, and I will debage that mofo and drive it all day every day!
