8 minutes on planet Earth

I wondered aloud in my last post,'..at the genius who decided 9 minutes was some kind of standard time increment for people to deal with first thing in the morning'..

I mean,what amount of snoozing can be effectively accomplished in 9 minutes?
It's a piddling,paltry time frame.
And that doesn't only apply to lying semi-conscious in my cozy bed,trying in vain to reinsert myself in the wondrous dream I had been engaged in,prior to my rude awakening.
9 minutes ain't shit,and I can't imagine anything of consequence that might transpire during so meager a measure.



Oh..Let me rethink that position.

That was fantastic. Cape buffalo, lions and crocs - all fearsome beasts. I saw all of them on the Serengeti but was glad not to witness a kill. I'm glad the calf got away.

The Crocs?

citizen- Overall,I'm glad the calf was rescued.
Still,Lions and Crocs gotta eat.

i couldn't watch...i know it's nature at it's finest..but cant watch it..
as for the 9 minutes in the morning..?..when Asshole #1 was in the fire dept.and they worked 24 on 48 off and they slept in bunks...the asshole sargent would wake them up by banging on their metal bunk beds and call them hogs..wake up hogs, get up mfing hogs..and one morning (they hadn't had any sleep for about 36 hours because of a crash)and they were all dead to the world...he tossed a boot and hit this one kid in the head and he jumped up and punched the sgr in his head...they brought him up on charges and his lawyer got him off by saying in the first few seconds up to 10 when you are woke up like that..you're going on reflex not intent and he wasn't responsible...so you got that going for you..first 10 seconds or so..you're not responsible..hahah

Yellowdog G.-I know it's hard to believe,but the little guy gets away scott free in the end,thanks to some heroic efforts on the part of the herd.
..I don't claim responsibility for myself until I've already been at work for an hour! :)
