Pallets in fields

[dragoneggs]

Well, I will not refrain from naming names. Bruce (aka Wagtail), lilranch2001, James, and others are would-be voyeurs. They want to obtain professional grade X-ray vision instruments for the sole purpose of satisfying their prurient interests.

They remind me of the immature teenage boys of my youth -- looking through the school library's copies of the National Geographic Magazine in hopes of seeing the "naughty bits" of native females. Those hooligans tore pages from that periodical -- as a result, I was unable to read articles that would have furthered my knowledge of natural history. I am willing to wager that Bruce (aka Wagtail), lilranch2001, James and others buy copies of "gentlemen's" magazines for the pictures rather than the articles.

PS -- Pipette is my protege and research associate, not my lab assistant.

I must concur that previous squirrely posts (Wagtail, lilranch, James, and think TomSeller also must be thrown in)... should be considered before casually issuing these advanced optical devices. As such, I think the lot of them have demonstrated that the 'lure to lurk' might be too much for them to remain focused on the scientific objective.

More vetting is necessary... due diligence must be exercised! For one, anyone who has applied for a TSA screener position, especially after the introduction of the original millimeter wave scanners in 2007 should be summarily disqualified. I think however I should be promoted to near the front of the line as I have demonstrated to date, that I have no desire to use them inappropriately.... and can be trusted... at least until the mystery is solved!

The "Squirrelly Alarmists" should heed this thought from Pythagoras:



Power to the squirrels.

Wait, I thought Rocky was a raccoon??

I think Dragoneggs recent TBN expose' has gone to his head.
I bet he would sin wearing the glasses as much as the next guy

I will discuss it with the comittee, you will have an answer shortly.

Rocky was a raccoon, a boxing raccoon.
Rocky defeated Apollo Creed in a nine round knockout. A very good match, I remember it well.

I agree, but I believe that the scientific method requires "blind testing," and the "bagging" should be recorded via video. In addition, blueriver (or the executor/executrix of his estate) should post the video to this thread.

I could not have expressed it better.

Once the coyote is "bagged", the pallets must be randomly relocated by a protege (perhaps Pipette has a sister?) while blueriver is also wearing a bag over his head. This is known as the "double blind test" method.

I think the farmer was getting ready to use the pallets for this. The smokehouses are built in fall, ready for hunting season. I am rather upset that my invitation to dinner was lost in the mail.

Excellent!! The "double blind test" is preferred as it minimizes any bias upon the part of the investigator. If blueriver decides to carry out the experiment, Pipette and I will assist in setting up the pallets. We will also video the experiment using a telephoto lens from the safety of an armored vehicle.

This is just another example of how unassuming these pallets are! We see them as docile, neglected entities, and we welcome them into most every part of our daily lives thinking we can extend/improve their lives. The posted article does pose the question... "How to know if your Pallets are Safe?" But they fail to adequately answer the question with only superficial response... "Deconstruct your Pallets".

Another question in my mind... should 'Pallets' be capitalized or not?
