Yes, but did you kill your gay lover with it.

Nothing to convince you of, just relating personal experience over the last 10 years in the area. You're just a better coconut gatherer than I- always get young, ripe coconuts that are full of water, eh? Take your machete and knock yourself out crackin' open them coconuts!

That's it, you've convinced me. Next week, after the big holiday rush dies down, I'm definitely heading over to Redneck Randy's Ammo Are Us Post Christmas Clearance Sale, to see what I can find in their machete department. I'm hoping they come with an instruction manual on how to open coconuts. Maybe an interactive tutorial disc? Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I like the fourth one down Bump. A little curve on your machete can add to the fun.

Bitter? Me? Didn't mean to sound that way. Maybe I am, a little, because I realized that my coconuts are dried out and my machete is dull and rusty.

...the neighbors playing their techno, trance, house or whatever the hell it is full blast for the last 10 hours
I couldn't find a more deserving use

Usually it is me ranting about our inconsiderate neighbor and his thumping woofer. woof woof....... at one time we were considering purchasing a train horn.

we used to have a neighbor like that when we lived in town so i'd walk up in their driveway and scream "This ain't Mexico!!!!"......... guess you don't have that luxury though
