Check out JimBob's new swimming pool (under construction in the back 40)
[ Invalid Attachment ]

Actually it's a sinkhole that emerged recently in Daisetta, Texas- swallowing cars, oilfield equipment, trees, etc.
-
That is just another reason not to live in Liberty county - that and the swamps and the mosquitoes and the sand and the rednecks and the smell - seriously - the Trinity River causes most of the county to stink. It is full of dead vegetation from the swamps.
That is why I like Texas - I am 240 miles away from Liberty County and couldn't be more pleased.
-
I'm more than 240 miles from any part of Texas and I couldn't be more pleased!

Amen.

Wow it was the river that caused all of that??? Amazing!
-
NO - not the river.
It appears to be from the local solution of salt from the salt dome under this place. It is why oil is being produced here. The four round tanks in the lower left of the picture Bass posted are tanks for storing oil produced from an oil well drilled either on or next to the salt dome.

Thanks Jim bob and bass. I have never seen anything like that before!
-
How big is it?
Is that sort of thing a common problem?
-
For scale, the blue rectangle with the white top looks to be an old two tone automobile of 1970's vintage - a road hog. And in the upper right-hand corner the picture the silver ribbon is a two-lane paved road with the approximate width of slightly more than two lanes in width of an interstate highway in the US or on the autobahn in Deuchland.
We are rather fortunate here in Texas that we have probably the best maintained and designed highway and secondary-tertiary highway system in the US. So the roads are wide.
-
You haven't learned how to build roads with bends, though, have you.
-
The road you are looking at is on the coastal plain where everything is flat as a pancake and there is no need.
If, however, you travel to West Texas, some 600 miles from the sink hole under discussion, you will find the same sized roads, and road that are as well paved and safe, through county such as this.

This is near you winter home in Texas. The one on the Rio Grande river. The flat-toped mountains in the distance are in Mexico and across a major fault (2000-5000 feet throw - their name is the Sierra del Carmine as at sunset they turn this most beautiful shade of vermilion. It is really majestic country. You should see it sometime.
Make the Pyrenees look like mole hills. This is part of the Rocky Mountain system.

Wales is a hole anyway.
-
OK, you snobby British rodent - that is over the line in my book. My ancestors were royalty in Wales with a real stone castle and all the trimmings: retinue, court jesters, hosted the king on procession - etc. And - oh, now you're going to pull out that old trashy, termite-eaten wooden castle in your family - the family that couldn't afford to build in stone like the other hedge-knights in that area. Your family couldn't even win a beat-up suit of amour in a brawl to pay for a decent home. Just had to cut down a few trees and thatch the roof with rushes. They probably did all that work with a rusty broad sword. Had to sharpen it themselves, too; couldn't afford retainers.
Sorry excuse for a lordly family, yours.
-
Thou knowest not of what thee speaketh, knave!
-
Lapsing into an archaic, elitist lisp will not make the fact that your family heritage is of disreputable hedge knights gathering sticks to build a shoddy wattle and daub wall around their wattle and daub home.
The Joy family name was derived from the old French "Josse" and was rendered in medieval documents in the Latin form GAUDIA. Other spellings of the name include JOYE, JOIE, GIOIA, LAGIOIA, JOYET, GIOIELLA, GIOIELLO and JOYES.
When William made England into a civilized country rather than the abode of some cast-out North German barbarians, the son of one of the Dukes of Languedoc, surname Joie, was rewarded with land northeast of Cardiff. This was given to him as he was a fighter, not a peasant that built wattle and daub homes in the Saxon countryside. Sir Joie had to take and hold the land and rule the Welch. He was part of the retinue of the lord of Chepstow Castle, William Fitz-Osbern who was based in what is now Herfordshire. The Baron de Joie had an elaborate multi-tower keep - IN STONE - that is no longer sanding. One of The barons sons became the second castellan (the governor for your information) of Chepstow Castle in William's absence, which was most of the time. For picture, see http://www.castlewales.com/chepstow.html
BUT - Your family couldn't even live with it's own name. Robert Gernon, the original Norman builder of Mountfitchet Castle, couldn't live with such a common name and had to take the name of "Montfitchet" as it was more pretentious and "becoming" of a Norman lord.
"The time of Robert Gernon's death is unknown. William, his son and heir, dropped the name of Gernon and took the name of Montfitchet, which was used thereafter by his descendants." From the official site: http://www.mountfitchetcastle.com/castlehistory.htm
Taking on airs is in your genes. It is why you still carry on the family tradition, trouncing on true nobility.
-
Don't talk like a wet sponge. Your ancestor only went to Wales because it was his boyhood ambition to join a male voice choir. He didn't want to participate in proper knightly pursuits, oh no. He probably also put on a silly, tall hat and waved leeks at passing toads.
-
Wet sponge,? What are you on about, you elderly, broken toothed rodent?
At least my ancestor didn't mix dung with mud to build something to live in. And he fought circles around your kind. He could go through 50 Welshmen in lees than a minute with his sword.
-
My ansestors killed dragons in Cheshire....Yeh, Yeh, Yeh we've heard it all before. I'll remember not to mention the word Wales in future. Perhaps I'll use a code word like Britains pregnancy or Tom Jonesland next time.
-
He could go through 50 Welshmen in lees than a minute with his sword.
So he was a gay Welshman with a premature ejaculation problem.
-
No, he was lees prone to the above mentioned, non-gender related sexual dysfunction than you are.

Who's turning the dictionary pages for you?

Your mind is slowing down as the worms eat your brain - there is another explanation that just passed you by, leaving you oblivious of the quip.
-
Far from it. I just didn't think you'd stoop low enough for it to have been deliberate.

I have my moments when I can come down to YOUR level. IOt isn't plesant feeling, but I will to spar with you, knave.

Don't talk piffle. The only denial going on around here is your refusing to admit that beavers are superior creatures.

I just took my heart pills. I need them with the sock accompanying the reading of the above statement. I is the most outrageous claim I have ever seen.
I, on the other hand, would never claim Texan superiority. We just have a better place to live than moldy, damp, wet, cold and miserable England. As for beavers being superior - if they were ever so considered. If they are so superior, why did the Romans burn the castor glands of said animals to abort unwanted fetuses? (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Castoreum) We have discussed this before, I believe.

From http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_story/494:0/1/Prince_Phillip_Philippos_Mountbatten.htm (http://www.thebiographychannel.co.uk/biography_story/494:0/1/Prince_Phillip_Philippos_Mountbatten.htm)
Prince Phillip (Philippos) Mountbatten
born: 10-06-1921
birth place: Corfu, Greece
He was born in his parents' house on the island of Corfu, the son of Prince Andrew of Greece, and named Philippos. Following the first abolition of the Greek monarchy, Philip was forced into exile with his poverty-stricken parents; he was famously carried in a makeshift cot made from an orange box.
I will graciously accept your apology.
-
Well now, I guess I do need to stand corrected on this issue, but claiming he son of a Greek and a German [Prince Louis of Battenberg changed his surname to Mountbatten (its literal English translation) during the First World War at the request of King George V] to be anything but a commoner in the first place seems to press the bounds of peerage to the limits.
But then the Queen isn't even English, either - she, a Windsor) i.e, German (Wettin of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha)

Ah, so you now admit she's not Turkish!
-
It is all Dutch to me!
The Royals are all interbread creatures formed from alliances made between royal families in other countries and ours. They just used themselves as bargaining chips. The only Queen not to do this was Elizabeth I, who enjoyed playing the field. This is why the Queen isn't truly British but then who is? This is why I hate racists because they are all too ignorant to realise that they are as foreign as everyone else.

You're displaying a dreadful lack of knowledge of punctuation. Had I meant it to be as you claim, I would have put a comma before "man".
-
I was never taught punctuation or grammar at school as I was taught under the Thatcher government. Apparently they didn't think it was necessary. Anyway a lecture on comma usage has the tendancy to put me into a coma.

In that case I shall bring it to a full stop.

I do appologize for having been of little help in this matter, M'lady. Today is the first day I have been able to type since having a pate and 14 screws inserted into my right upper humerus to repair surgically a rather badly broken arm on Monday, latest.
I do blame it on Castor the Bollucks who sent the thug with the sledge hammer to do the job of breaking my knee caps but, as usual "doc" couldn't fine the right thug. This one was so dumb he had to ask me what a knee cap was and being reluctant to offer any assistance, he just swung the hammer, catching me just below the shoulder on the right side. (I hope you didn't pay him, doc, he left you digital camera behind with you name engrave on it - claw-scratched probably.) You didn't get the pictures of the pain I was in as you wanted for your sick pleasure.
About all that is redeeming about this latest experience is the morphine, administered intravenously. Reminds me of the time in Rangoon when I was led astray by another(?) furry creature - a large human-sized rat-like creature, into an opium den.
About all of the latter part of this missive is the IV Morphine. Only beavers get to be human sized so it had to be a beaver. Perhaps even a younger version of the one with which we now deal.

You right, he is over the edge. Has been for quite a bit.
-
I'd stay in for a few days as my thugs were told to rip off your left arm and beat you over the head with the bloody stump! But if you are already in pain I don't see the point so I'll call them off.
I hope you weren't naked hand gliding again and that it really was Beavers thugs that did it.

Yes. It crept into his room in the middle of the night & whacked him with a large monkfish.

He most definitely is. He is also one of that rare breed - a politician who says what he thinks.
The scariest thing is that he is a clone of his father. In this photo, Dad is nearer the camera & Boris is in the background

At least they are playing the greatest court game ever - squash. I was a ranking player in college. Loved it - fast, furious and requiring a LOT of skill.

i thought that was self-evident. so reaching that startling conclusion you made in the previous post is not a great leap of intellect - in fact it is more like a snail moving 1/100th of an inch - down-hill - than a leap.

That is fast for a snail. Snailist as well as trollist. Next you will be insulting Beavers.
-
most likely - but dissing trolls is so much fun!

Why do I sense impending beaver abuse?

I don't know. I would prefer to turn on the troll for a change. she's had it easy for a while.
-
Take pity on her. She's got a new job.
-
What new job, torturing prisoners at the local library under the guise of education?
-
You don't seem to understand what a library is! Prisoners are not kept in libraries, books are. Bossy librarians are not warders, they are simply there to be unhelpful when you need to find a book or to fine you when you forget to bring back a book. Libraries now contain DVDs and have access to the internet. It is hardly Guantanamo Bay is it!
