All I'm doing is hiding in bushes to look at tits, what's so wrong about that?

[–] [email protected] 37 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Personally, I prefer hiding behind dunes to look at boobies at the beach.

Hell yeah, and always make sure to snap a few pics for the collection

Wait until OP hears about hunting game calls. "SEX! Sex over here!"

Blasts animal with a 50 cal slug

(Erm....ACKUALLY)While you can hunt with a 50-caliber. It's usually only with a black powder rifle. Even then, I've seen most .50 black powder rifles use a 44 bullet with a sabbot or something similar.

That and hunting with larger calibers are usually illegal.

Yeah, the guy in my made up scenario was hunting during muzzle loader season

Are people hunting with 50 cats?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

I've never seen it, but I'm sure there are some furry armies out there.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

Yes, like a muzzle loaded rifle for deer hunting

Whatever you say, pervert.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago

I'm no pervert. Anyways I've got to go, I'm going to see if I can experience a Dickcissel, then I'm off to my mates to see his Himalayan snowcock....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago

Just because I like looking at breeding tits doesn't make me a pervert 😤

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

I learned that from Bob's Burgers.

catbirding?

I used to care for a tree frog with a croak I could mimic. Anytime I was nearby I'd do it and set them off in response. My understanding (which is limited and like 12 years ago) was that I had a male frog who was trying to one up me in response so he would get all the mates

[–] [email protected] 13 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But you did get all the frog mates?

Come on, buddy, don't let us hanging.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 years ago

Yes, I was drowning in frogussy

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Same thing, but you say "Aha, I see you through my sights!" instead

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also then you murder the bird.

So more of a Saturday night than a Friday night, if we're sticking to the analogy...

@ivanafterall @cm0002 @fossilesque yeah i was trying to figure out how to tell them they missed a step

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're those freaky people that hang out in word of mouth clubs we don't like to talk about.

@fossilesque actually interesting af

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They're also very self conscious about it, so... Sexual competition among ducks wreaks havoc on penis size

[–] [email protected] 4 points 2 years ago

@fossilesque this information was not included in saturday morning cartoons.

i wonder if there was something else going on between Daffy, Bugs, and Elmer.
