Monty by Jim Meddick for August 07, 2023

Next week he’ll mistake the the lemon slice for a stink bug.

Dropping things, poor vision and memory loss. An entertaining combination.

SNACK!SNACK!SNACK!

“Why did it have to be Twizzlers?”

Look out for the Gator Aid.

Cheese, it’s a Doodleby!

Oh gosh I’m laughing at Monty but I’m afraid I react much the same when I see a snake, especially a rattlesnake! Except I definitely don’t come back and pick it up with a grabber lol

Whenever I see a snake sunning itself on a road, I’ll try to catch the snake and relocate it to a suitable, safer location. One time I was driving with my wife and I saw a snake. I grab the snake, and tell my wife that she would have to drive… that car had a manual transmission, and I wouldn’t be able to steer, shift and hold the snake at the same time. She said she wasn’t sure if she remembered how to drive a manual transmission. I told her, “either drive or hold on to the snake”. She suddenly remembered how to drive a manual again. Since then, we kept a burlap bag in the car for such occasions.

At least he stopped thinking about the neighbor’s pool party.

The face shield is a nice touch.

LOL! Too funny! ☺️

It’s a rattleheadedcoppermoccasin!!! Actually, around where I live, it seems that every snake is a copperhead, regardless of what kind it actually is.

The heat may be getting to Monty, and now he’s starting to see things, if only he could take a dip in a nice refreshing pool. Not Bloody likely!

I used to see one or two snakes in my yard every summer. Haven’t seen snakes or toads in several years.

I’ve seen enough dangerous snakes from when I lived in NC nearly 40 years. No poisonous snakes here in Maine, and I like it that way.

A snake the size of a Twizzler would be a really tiny snake.

For a dog you shout: Squirrel. For a human you shout: Snake. Same reaction.

I planted some wild aspargus for ground cover and an endangered rare California Coastal snake made a home in it. I managed to snap a picture and thought I should report the sighting Then thought again That would be Stupid. The Government would come in and fence off my backyard and prohibit my using it. Maybe even make me surrender the land. So it’s my secret. The snake moved on, haven’t seen it in a year. Yaay!!!

And he wonders why all his neighbors hate him.

I get you Montahue .

That grabber really gets a work- out!!! :)

If it had been a snake, it probably would have been thinking, “Monty, Monty, Monty Aagh!”

Of course Monty had snake tongs close at hand

The black twizzlers are harmless but the red ones…… you need to watch out for.

He freaked out but was ready to grab it with the tongs. Odd.

All real, true, honest, Bible-believing Christians should certainly take up serpent-handling and poison-drinking. Really. You should. It says so in the Bible. You believe the Bible, don’t you? Go ahead, what are you waiting for? Isn’t your faith strong enuf? We’re all watching to see how devout you are, you know. Go on. Don’t wait any longer. You know it’ll work. God said so in his very own words.* Grab that rattler. Chug that strychnine. God wants you to do it! Please, please, please, oh please!

*“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” —Jesus Christ, Luke 10:19

Panic! Panic! Run in circles; scream and shout!

Quickly armed with face-mask and grabber-tongs, Mighty Monty returns to battle the deadly…Twizzler?

__Only marginally less embarrassing than the Cheez Doodle bee….
