My Suck Sense is tingling

Look, it might not be that bad. After all, its a few bucks in your pocket, and if he doesn't cough up the doe, you could probably EASILY sell the costume to someone else. Now I believe I will hoof it out of here before one of my deer fellow CSers tests out their archery skills on me for the puns.

[Racket_Man]

And if he goes out in the woods with this thing on...?

Especially during mating season . . .could you imagine the confusion?

Hope the hubs is doing better . . .

I was actually thinking more alone the lines of deer HUNTING season

HMMMMM no bright orange vest/snowsuit ***** aims and BLAM BLAM *****

or it that Rabbit season or Duck season OR MAYBE Elmer Season

[Argabarga]

The Buck stopped here.....

Ahem!

[KitterCat]

Its most likely for an Order of the Arrow ceremony. The sort of internal brotherhood that’s inside the Boy Scouts. Just be glad you weren’t asked to make a bison costume or a troops worth of Native American Indian costumes.

What's the difference between a Buffalo & a Bison?

Whatever you do don’t add strategically placed holes.

Story time!

When my little brother was in scouts he participated in an arrow of light ceremony. They dressed him up as an Indian. No shirt, or pants because Indians didn’t wear them. They gave him a loin cloth but he had on boxers. They tried to tuck the boxers in to the loin cloth but it ended up looking like a loin diaper so they made his take his boxers off. They also took his glasses because Indians didn’t wear glasses.

My poor blind, naked little brother. He still has his arrow though.

I had a horrible time in the scouts. Years later it turned out I was gay and dislike the scouts even more.

I don't do suits with holes. Yick.

(I mean, if you want to get freaky, I don't care, but I also don't want to be involved in ANY way. I have enough trouble with my customers not respecting personal boundaries as it is!)

[Seshat]

If they want holes, they can get a quick-unpick and some sewing skills of their own and take care of it somewhere you don't have to know about it.

Annnnnnnnyway.

I hope your husband's hand heals up quickly.

I have an ER story a bit like yours. My husband has a condition which can sometimes cause him to spasm (similar to a grand mal epileptic fit). He also managed to fall onto his head, with subsequent neck pain. Doing something silly trying to reach something from the bed - don't ask!

Anyway. With that combination, we decided to overrule his 'I'm fine' protestations, and get an ambulance to transport him. Ambos put him in a cervical collar, we went to the hospital. The ER was *almost* empty that day, for a wonder.

Key word: almost. We had attentive nursing assistance, and even a doctor who dropped in to check on us periodically and apologise for the wait.

But the other patients were a multi-car accident involving two families. Radiography was totally tied up for a couple of hours. We did get the first hit at radiography after the car accident victims, though.

Fortunately, his neck didn't actually have any fractures - but the doctor scolded him for not wanting to come in. (Yay for the doctor!)

By the way don't Boy Scouts have an Archery Badge?

Yes, also one for Rifles and shotguns. I didn't manage to get the shotguns. Actually had to shoot worse than I normally do to get them to give me the Rifle badge. Didn't believe I put 2 bullets through the same spot....

[Racket_Man]

Ahem!

no actually something along this line from the cartoon Rabbit Fire
Just the ending (can't find the whole cartoon)

Geez, you must have had a lame instructor. Mine could tell if the hole was one-bullet or multiple by the edges of the hole. He was an old Marine vet, though. When I went through, we had to get five shots placed so a quarter could touch them. I got mine so a dime could touch them all. Not bad for a kid who'd only shot a BB gun before that week.

To HermitIX: I'm truly sorry you had a bad experience in scouts. I was a scout for years, and an assistant scoutmaster for a few years past that. I still feel scouting is a fundamentally good organization. I will say on the gay issue, that mostly comes from the national offices for the organization (and a few hardcore nutcases). Most troops I was familiar with paid basic lip service to the national council (and barely more than that to the local council), and went by spirit of what scouting should be. A shame some folks mess it up for everybody, sometimes.

I know the cartoon, but I figured that this one's a bit more complex

Yea... thankfully most of the OA guys I know are required to make their own regalia for OA events. They can have relatives or close friends help, but no hiring someone else to do it. I've helped with some of the beadwork on some of the costumes and they're honestly a PITA to do.
