LOL... no it's not DLS.

Get yourself a mature rooster; they make wonderful
fox alarms, and usually piss 'em off as well.

Didn't work with Cletus - he was in isolation for attacking The Boss and a fox got him one night... sleeping on the job...

Our local butcher has a sign board for Thanksgiving Turkey, so he's ahead of the supermarkets. It must be for scrub turkey. American colonists gave thanks for the autumn harvest. Australian convicts were thankful for a month without a flogging.

The colony, like many British territories at the time, was short of coins, and rum soon became the medium of trade. The officers of the Corps were able to use their position and wealth to buy all the imported rum and then exchange it for goods and labour at very favourable rates, thank you so much.
