All Hail The Mighty Janet............



Ok........ just a quickie........ As you can see by the picture, Janet has been laying one egg a day since Wednesday.... that means she is happy and content and loves me with with a passion.....great aye, just love from a bloody chicken lol :)...... I toddle down the garden every morning and let her out into the little pen, but today, cos we was around, we opened the door and she had free run down the bottom of the garden to scratch and peck around...... she was not even scared when my Jacob was on the big trampoline with his maties, she just sat underneath...... she is WELL A BLOODY COOL CHICKEN......... I did have to shoo her away from the back gate though cos Im sure she was trying to limbo under it and escape out the back to go see Patricks chicken 2 doors along...... oh lordy, dont say she is gonna be a right little slapper chicken..... the bloody tart.....

She seems to lay her ONE egg around 11ish :) probably after doing tea and crumpets with the girls LOL........

Anyways....... Tom decided today that 4 little bantam eggs was enough for egg on toast for his lunch, so he had the honour of having the first tasting of Janet's eggs........



Tom says they was the tastiest bestest fried eggs he had ever had......... THEN DONT LOOK SO BLOODY MISERABLE TOM lol......... right thats the lads cooking, now if only they would learn to clear up the mess after them........

So the day went smooth, no hiccups as such........ I did panic a little when I realised it was dark out and I had forgotten to shove Janet back in her little coop and shut the hatch...... so I tiptoed down the garden in the dark looking for her, only to find she had seen herself home and was just waiting for someone to shut the door and turn off the lights........ sorted - so I walked back up the garden - you must understand I rarely wear shoes..... if I can get away being barefooted then I will - so there I am fumbling back up the garden in the dark when 'squelch' I stop dead in me tracks..... on no I must of trod on a slug or a snail and it had squidged between me toes........ gawds sake.......... but when I got up to the house and looked........ it was chicken poo LMFAO.......... bloody hell........ Janet sure does do big poos for such a tiny chicken lmfao......... :) anyways, whats a bit of chicken poo between friends.......

ps......... being of nursery (plants) stock...... we taught our lads at a very young age that slugs was OUR ENERMY....... and I will give you a great tip when confronted with a slug in your garden........ they can strip me delphiniums down to just a stem in a matter of an hour ya know - ok, when you see a slug, if you stamp ya foot down hard on just one end of it, it will shoot out of its skin at a rate of knots...... make sure you do this with no one standing in front, cos have you ever seen flying slug innerds flying at someone at 10 miles an hour...... not good...... and ya left with an intact slug skin :)....... another good one is, if you surround the slug with a little circle of salt, when it tries to escape, it goes all bubbly and sort of implodes in a bubble of froth........ I think I have been living with boys way to long lol

But now, all slugs will be hand feed to Janet, she so looks like a slug eater, remembering NOT to put slug pellets down in me garden or we will end up killing her - see, Im just a mine of useless information...... :)

Way to much Twaddle and rubbish for one evening......

All this time I've loved and worshipped you. All this time I've laughed at your funny stories, cried with the sad tales and commiserated about "offing" some stupid fuck(s)in desperate need of, uh, punishment, but this, this violent act consisting of stripping slugs of their innards? No, no, here I must draw the line.

We all have our limits.
I will never look at you in the same light again.
Kindly refund my subscription to this blog.

As for Janet, I'm calling the Humane Society and reporting you as soon as I stop typing. Best to arm yourself the armed guards come knocking.

Tsk tsk. Poor Janet. Having to grow up in a foster home now...all because of you and your horrific violent tendencies.

(hee hee)

~(((((PT)))))~ Does it look like Im bloody bovvered ;)......

Look, I love animals, but slugs are just slugs.... what would you want me to do with them, invited them round for tea and scones..... A SLUG is put on this earth to be abused and stamped on........ :) it is their function in life, to bring joy to small nursery children..... it was the highlight of my lads days to find a big fat black or ginger slug :)......

ps....... you even think about taking Janet away from me and I will hunt you down and rip out your spleen....... of course, that would be once I looked up where ya spleen is located and how easy it is to get to it without much blood...... :)

Sometimes my dear friend, you are well daft cow LOL - but I loves ya anyways .. xxxxx

OrdinaryShark said...

OK just for PT we will stuff the innards back into any hapless slugs (the garden kind) that get de-innered (yup, I said it) on this blog. While my own Buddhist tendencies wouldn't lead me down that path (er..)I do understand the nurseryman’s (or woman in this case) desire to protect the stock! Life is, as I say, complicated. Now where are all those bits?
Marm, Ordinary-Shark. To answer your question shark is because I'm a shark or lawyer (pronounced"li-ar") as some would say. Ordinary because I ride what is called an "Ordinary" bicycle. You call 'em Penny Farthings. I have an old Bailey-Thomas from England, in fact. About 1850. But in my defense I will say that I started out as a bicycle shop owner and picture framer, so I did some good in the world before turning to the dark side. And, land in these parts ain't nearly so dear as it is there, or at least where I have it, which is in the middle of nowhere, but you're welcome to stroll on it anytime.
And that ain't no Banty, baby. She's a right full sized hen! Banty eggs are great fun to hard boil; they're bite sized!
Off to the movies kids. Ta-ta.

focking slugs. that's better than they deserve. (you can always tell these bleeding heart non-gardeners a shovel's length away)

Your Friend said...

When I lived in the UK still.. well, it was in Hampshire.. see Mel.. all us "bestest" peeps come from Hants.. lol

Anyway... it must've been slug heaven. .. it was disgusting. But I never squished out their innards, nor put salt out.. I did the beer in a little dish thing.. and they'd get in there, to get soused, and then drown.

Rotton waste of good beer though, huh?

I am researching the proper care of an elk skull. I saw some beauts at the Bighorn Sportsman Show in Spokane today. I doubt I will be able to replicate them. I will contact the US Postal Service next week to see what their requirements are for mailing a skull. It will be a hoot to hear what they have to say when I tell them I want to mail a skull to GB. That one will be worth the price of admission. Oh, Matt said okay-- so long as I hadn't promised the ivory too. He is going to have rings made out of them for me and him. It is real ivory you know. I had one made for my father years ago, who gave it to me just before he passed away, and I just gave it to my oldest son for his birthday. Hopefully I am not about to pass away shortly. Anyway, I calmed him down right away because he was approaching me with his new quick release knife in one hand and his football championship ring on the other. Both lethal. The weather turned nice so we will get to processing it shortly. I'll keep you informed about the progress towards shipping. --Oh, one thing, could you do an abridged version of your comments, translated into English? I find myself getting cross eyed with a substantial headache as I try to read them as originally posted. Probably not? Oh well, never mind.

The Fool said...

Since you've bolted me in a virtual room, I suppose this message is being via virtual telepathy, and this visit is a discorporate event. Hmmm. I'm confused. I'll be back if I can find my way.

Those ain't virtual slugs are they. Imploding slug froth? Is that like bug beer?

This is confusing. Go Janet!

The Fool said...

Here...the word "sent" is missing from the previous virtual telepathy. Put it back where it belongs please.

Thank you.

Bugger any other editing errors.

Chuft on!

MarmiteToasty said...

~((Foolie))~ you so make me smile.... fank you, just fank you....... xx

Go Figure said...

Yes, I noticed that too. Oh, the horns are not the ivory. Good thing too as this was a female elk, a "cow." The ivory are what "back in the day" were the actual tusks. The are called the "eye teeth." The older that an elk gets the more burnished the eye teeth become and they take on a unique look. Dont worry about the postage etc. As I said, it is worth the price of admission.

Go Figure said...

Oh, say, just thought of it. You can read about the history behind Matt's getting this particular elk on the early writings on my blog. They are "Zero", "Late Season Archery" and "No More O-Fer."

Go Figure said...

Darn, the mind is going. It must have been the Mexican food I had today to celebrate St. Patrick's Day. Go Figure.

I forgot that I also wrote "Silence is Golden" and it is also about Matt's elk. e.g. your elk skull.

Heck, now I will have a chance to write another comment about the skull cleaning process. Wow, what at day!

For Our Lady Of The Schmeebs:

I ain't no bleedin' heart, I advocate for less violent forms of death, s'all.

Reference Peanut's alternate solution with particular emphasis on death by (hopefull) imported dark beer. :)

Shark, thank you. You long held my attention on TUBOB...before I had to ask the waiter for the check. Hello, again.

Yeah, where is the Greenster of Love and his drive-by comments?

Crushed seashells work great for keeping slugs away from your plants. Sharp edges deter slugs.

Don't encourage her, Harold, you know it takes so very little to get her going.

Send those slugs and you'll *really* have something to tell "Nig" this week. I don't give a rat's arse what kinda cripple y'are.
