Using burnt motor oil to hunt hogs

Karl is a character in all the best definitions of the word. He's always been the tear off guys I think. In sad he's been banned if that's the case; his posts were always an experience. I contemplated chartering his boat when we were in Florida last year but just weren't close enough. 

In reply to NickD :

Were you around when bribes at the challenge got banned? Karl's behind that one. Something about a pig head. No idea if burned motor oil was involved. 

There's a Harley joke buried in the title somewhere.

In reply to No Time :

Oh you aren't the only one! But I'm awful glad I got suckered cuz I somehow missed this on the first go-round...

In reply to dculberson :

A few years ago, my dad got a late start evacuating from a near direct hit on his house in Florida, and Karl's place was his backup if's he couldn't get to my uncle's home in Newnan. I will always be grateful to Karl for giving him that option.  I follow Karl on Facebook, so I hadn't even noticed that he was missing from here. His posts can be difficult to sort out at times, though. Mostly always. 

man... GRM was a lot different before I joined.

I'm still chuckling at this  

Karl sounds like my best friend Bobby.  You love the guy, but sometimes you're laughing your butt off while you tell him why he shouldn't go and do what he's planning on doing.

Speaking of which, I got a message from Bobby last night and I've been meaning to write back (but... see above).  Wish me luck.

FWIW, Karl isn't banned. He's just focusing on other stuff lately.

Like not getting banned. *nods*

Karl is definitely a character. I remember one year we did the Challenge early on, we needed some graphics made. He traded his skills in exchange for a random ride for someone in his clan to an airport nearby. I missed the oiled hog fest we see here, but this is very much on-brand.

Half the fun of a Karl post is.... deciphering it. It could be a NYT game all on its own. Is he selling something? Is he building a car? Did he make a pie? No one's really sure? 

I THINK I met Karl once. I don't really know for sure. Whoever I met was pretty fantastic though. I believe the truck involved was Karl's S10- I just don't remember if he was at the challenge in 2018. 

one year i was on vaca with my family on the Gulf coast of FL, and we were going to one of the "swim with the manatees" things.  driving down the road, i see a triumph stag with numbers on the doors in front of a window tint and sign shop.  i'm like "holy E36 M3, that's Karl's place!"  so I told my wife we had to stop in on our way back.  We stopped and chatted with Karl and his wife for a few minutes while our kids played with Karl's shop dog.  Cool people.  I'm glad we stopped.  He gave us a tip on a fish camp type place right down the road, and we had a killer meal there.

Very glad to hear this.  Suppression of free speech is not a good look.

Karl's grammar and composition definitely put the "free" in free speech.

In reply to Duke :

Never "met"any of Karl's writing, till this piped up. But I love your assessment. 
 Sounds like a guy that's more fun in person... prolly been said of me, as well!!!

In reply to 03Panther :

I never met him in person but he seems like a good guy. Has some definite political leanings I don't agree with, but I don't have to.

Probably the strongest entrepreneurial spirit I have ever encountered. The guy either currently does or has done just about everything.  He's got like 6 side hustles going at any one time.

Lol-Good to know. I had no memory of Karl doing anything other than being Karl, and that didn't seem like something worthy of being banned anywhere-especially here.

I heard a rumor that he went back to medical school. 

Karl also has unique appreciation of music and displayed it here often. I have to thank him for introducing this maniac to me.

In reply to Gary :

Karl introduced me to Milking the Goatmachine with this (note: NSFW) song:

This was a very memorable conversation for me, and I've had a few on this very board. 

Fly fast and free, Karl.

Proving that first instincts are usually right....

Karl, did you know it takes very little oil to cause significant groundwater contamination?

That's how my dad took care of used oil. 

I'm speechless. And so confused. 

Also, FWIW, declaring open season is fun and all, but the MO DOC recommends NOT running and gunning like they do in TX and AR; the hogs split and run and end up everywhere. Their preferred method is bagging the entire herd all at once by way of those big round traps or stuff like that. 

My instagram account got hax0r3d recently.

So I've been lurking fb for my doomscrolling fix.

At some point, long ago, I guess I friended Per Shcroeder.

Per posted his weekend viking activities today, including, but not limited to, changing the oil on three vehicles.

Karl responds:

" If you put used motor oil on burlap sacks and attach to trees will entice wild hogs / to rub ticks and insects ...  If food becomes an issue .   Enjoy that cold beer"

Which prompted me to google "hog motor oil"

And google, oddly enough, led me here.

Karl once took a break from making tacos at the Mitty to tint the windows on my Honda Fit.

I bought that Honda Fit at Hennessy Honda of Woodstock.

And as we all know, Hennessy Honda of Woodstock devours all-you-can-eat buffets of dick.

Crazy world. Lotta smells.

Love you all to bits. I'll check in again a few years when the universe leads me here.

Life is good. The Festiva comes home next weekend.
