    You might want to be careful with your crab trap:

    Police in Oregon last week warned local beachgoers about grenades that
    had washed on to the shore and appeared to still be able to explode.

    The police department in the city of Newport issued a statement on
    Wednesday saying three separate grenades had somehow washed on to the
    beach there a day earlier.

    Labeled M116A1, the grenades were white in color and cylindrical in
    shape, according to a photo of the unusual discovery that was shared by
    the department. The phrase “Warning: Explosive” was written on them in large red letters.

    “If you encounter such a device, please do not handle or attempt to move it,” the police department said in its statement, which served as a
    warning to members of the public. “Call the police to report the
    device’s location.”

    Those aren't grenades, that will fill you full of shrapnel... They're "simulators"... It sounds like there was a fireworks deal with an Army supply clerk, who needed some fast money, that went awry? Wish I could find a few of them, for NYE......

    White grenades with red letters are scary - which makes them
    dangerous. Just blow up some balloons of diverse colors and smaller
    than 10", and pop them with a registered straight pin........or a free government supplied LGBTQ pin. Make sure you give plenty of warning so
    that people won't hurt themselves in a stampede to avoid feeling uncomfortable. Probably be even better if you got some POPless balloons........or some that just went, weeeeeeeeeeee.

    "M116A1 grenades are used primarily to train soldiers because they
    simulate “battlefield noises and effects”, according to a company that provides the devices to the US army. It sparks what the company
    describes as a “simulated explosion” within six to 12 seconds of being deployed."

    Hey! A guy could have a simulated heart attack from these simulated “battlefield noises and effects”. And, you snarky hand grenade
    belittler, you - what about little girls with kittens!? Sheesh! Oh, the humanity!

    You can probably buy these from your local white supremacist group or
    local orange goon supporter. They probably have them for those
    unanticipated "lost tourist" events! HawHawHaw!

    Little girls with kittens shouldn't be walking on the beach alone

    Ban White Grenades! Ban White Grenades! They scare people.
    While we're at it:
    Somebody should be held accountable!
    Defund the Army!


    Those aren't grenades, that will fill you full of shrapnel...
    They're "simulators"...  It sounds like there was a fireworks deal
    with an Army supply clerk,  who needed some fast money, that went
    awry?  Wish I could find a few of them,  for NYE......

    White grenades with red letters are scary - which makes them
    dangerous. Just blow up some balloons of diverse colors and smaller
    than 10", and pop them with a registered straight pin........or a
    free government supplied LGBTQ pin. Make sure you give plenty of
    warning so that people won't hurt themselves in a stampede to avoid
    feeling uncomfortable. Probably be even better if you got some
    POPless balloons........or some that just went, weeeeeeeeeeee.


    "M116A1 grenades are used primarily to train soldiers because they
    simulate “battlefield noises and effects”, according to a company
    that provides the devices to the US army. It sparks what the company
    describes as a “simulated explosion” within six to 12 seconds of >> being deployed."

    Hey! A guy could have a simulated heart attack from these simulated
    “battlefield noises and effects”. And, you snarky hand grenade >> belittler, you - what about little girls with kittens!? Sheesh! Oh,
    the humanity!

    Little girls with kittens shouldn't be walking on the beach alone
    picking up white things with red letters on them. Where the hell are her parents?..............nevermind..........her parents out there in
    PNWland are probably dumbasses and would pick them up and pull the pin
    to see what's in the can. They'd probably be hoping there was an
    interesting message inside that they could post on Megafacebutt and get 12,623 likes and 5 minutes of fame.


    Her parent is probably some crackhead who didn't want her and who
    couldn't get an abortion. But I'm sure the RTLers are taking real good
    care of her. I know Herschel Walker would! HawHawHaW!

    You might want to be careful with your crab trap:

    Police in Oregon last week warned local beachgoers about grenades that
    had washed on to the shore and appeared to still be able to explode.

    The police department in the city of Newport issued a statement on
    Wednesday saying three separate grenades had somehow washed on to the
    beach there a day earlier.

    Labeled M116A1, the grenades were white in color and cylindrical in
    shape, according to a photo of the unusual discovery that was shared by
    the department. The phrase “Warning: Explosive” was written on them in >>> large red letters.

    You can probably buy these from your local white supremacist group or
    local orange goon supporter. They probably have them for those
    unanticipated "lost tourist" events! HawHawHaw!

    ummmm.............Thanks, and I don't want to be ungrateful, but
    that was probably one of the smallest dangers we faced while we were out seeking: truth, justice, the American way, and crabs. My wife and I
    laugh at danger because any trip to the ocean is filled with dangers.
    Just getting there is probably the most dangerous part of the trip, but
    the ocean is filled with dangers. Among other things there are: killer
    waves, killer whales, killer sharks, floods, disease and land that you
    can never be sure it won't dump you in the ocean. The worst danger is
    people and I met a good example of this sitting where our dock left the
    land.

    She asked me to talk to her because she was worried. She said the
    cops were looking for her, and there was an unusually large number of
    sheriff's deputies working in the big gravel parking lot we were on one
    side of. There were probably 3 or 4 of them. They were clearly ready for action. They had a nice boat and even brought along a couple of "marine cadets". They were checking fishing licenses and looking for scofflaws
    on the land and on the water. On the dock they checked some guy who was
    dressed like he was a homeless person. That's one of the many common
    fashion statements on the coast. They also checked a group that was
    drinking and having an obvious good time. They tried to check my wife.
    Our licenses are an app on our phone. She couldn't remember her user
    name or her password and they ended up passing on her.

    Now I suppose there are people who would start waving their arms
    and shouting, "she's over here", when someone tells them the police are
    looking for them. I don't appear to be one of those people. I asked what
    she had done wrong. She said she hadn't done anything wrong, but the
    cops were looking for her because they thought she was weird. I asked
    her if she was weird. She said no. I said that was a shame because I'm
    weird. That ended the discussion. The weird lady was no longer
    interested in talking with me.

    I escaped with everything intact, except maybe a little bit of my sanity, and she wasn't even the oddest person I spoke with. That honor
    belonged to a guy who was telling me his crab bait theory. On the docks
    you hear all sorts of advice about the best crab bait. This guy believed
    that the best bait is a chicken leg that's still attached the thigh
    because the part between the leg and the thigh is the crabs' favorite
    piece of meat. He said he only uses the left leg and gives the right
    legs away. At that point I had already heard enough and I didn't ask why
    he only used one leg.

    We're safely home again. Except that our home is in the the
    Portland metropolitan area. I dunno. This might be more dangerous than
    the ocean and grenades, with people even crazier than Lampoon running
    around. The crazy lady said she lives in Portland.

    Around Newport the most likely explanation for those grenades is
    that someone is using them to harass seals and sea lions. If they pack
    enough punch they might be a good substitute for the people who use half
    a stick of dynamite for a fishing lure.
