Buffaloed in Pa Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was just dozing off watching the t.v. when my wife wakes my up to tell me the woods and fields are on fire. I own 30 acres and my neighbor has a 5 acre piece with no house, just likes to plant trees on it. Anyway he decides to start a brush fire with the wind blowing pretty good. Next thing you know it`s out of control. This is rural Pa. here,no fire hydrants or anything . So I go out running with a shovel and rake beating the fire line out headed toward the house with a couple neighbors. All said and done 5 acres burned. I`m just happy it didn`t get to the gas well besides the house. How was your day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffaloed in Pa Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was thinking the same thing...I mean he already had the shovel with him, so... I didn`t need the shovel. He is one of those limp wristed types. Anyway he was nervous as a queer in a hotdog factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bmwolf21 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was just thinking you already had the shovel - easier to bury the body... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffaloed in Pa Posted March 31, 2008 Author Share Posted March 31, 2008 I was just thinking you already had the shovel - easier to bury the body... I wouldn`t waste my time digging him a hole. Now tying him to one of those smokin trees ,would be more like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 Where did you bury the neighbor? Did you at least call the cops on him? That must be illegal! I didn`t need the shovel. He is one of those limp wristed types. Anyway he was nervous as a queer in a hotdog factory. Seriously though, you need to call the cops. He could be charged with arson or at least being an arse!

billfan63 Posted March 31, 2008 Share Posted March 31, 2008 That is a scare, glad to hear you stopped it from the house. When I first started reading the post I thought you were watching TV and saw Kathie Lee Gifford. I saw her this morning and it scared the hell out of me. She needs to backoff the Botox.
