  1.   I took my dad to the mall the other day to buy some new shoes (he is 76).    We decided to grab a bite at the food court.    I noticed he was watching a teenager sitting next to him.    The teenager had spiked hair in all different colors - green,   red,  Orange , and blue.   My dad kept staring at her.   The teenager kept looking and would find my dad staring every time..   When the teenager had had enough, she sarcastically asked: "What's the matter old man, never done anything wild in your life?"   Knowing my Dad, I quickly swallowed my food so that I would not choke on his response;    I knew he would have a good one!   In classic style he responded without batting an eyelid .... "Got stoned once and had sex with a parrot. I was just wondering if You might be my kid."

  2. Well...not sure I'd call Glock perfection, but I am quite fond of them. Have had several, ahem...many would be closer to truth I guess, and still have a few of them left. Are they great shooting guns and very serviceable tools? Yes. Definitely. But perfection? IMHO, no. That was achieved with the S&W Model 19. OK...I'm ducking for cover now.

  4. Bill and Hillary are at a Yankees home game, sitting in the first row, with the Secret Service people directly behind them.   One of the Secret Service guys leans forward and whispers something to Bill. At first, Clinton stares at the guy, looks at Hillary, looks back at the agent, and shakes his head "no". The agent then says, "Mr. President, it was a unanimous request of the entire team, from the owner of the team to the bat boy."   Bill hesitates...but begins to change his mind when the agent tells him the fans would love it! Bill shrugs his shoulders and says, "Ho-Kay! If that is what the people want. C'mere Hilly baby..." With that, Bill gets up, grabs Hillary by her collar and the seat of her pants, lifts her up, and tosses her right over the wall onto the field.   She gets up kicking, swearing, screaming, "Bill you   "!$#@&!". The crowd goes absolutely wild. Fans are jumping up & down, cheering, hooting and hollering, and high-fiving. Bill is bowing, smiling and waving to the crowd.   He leans over to the agent and says, "How about that; I would have never believed how much everyone would enjoy that!" Noticing the agent has gone totally pale, he asks what is wrong. The agent replies,   "Sir, I said they want you to throw out the first "pitch .”

  5. This thread seems extremely useless. Closing it down and making note that so far I'm not seeing much firearms related content from the OP, but rather content intended to incite discord. Not a good thing for me to be making note of. Sent from my GT-N5110 using Tapatalk

  6. Went to the gun store and walked out with a new Gen 4 Glock 19. Put close to 200 rounds through it immediately at the range and I have to say I like it way more than I thought I would. Only thing to do now is make a holster and magazine pouches and I'll be set to rock and roll with it. It's a Glock, we all know what they look like but pictures will be coming later.

  7. To anyone who abuses, neglects or mistreats an animal; I hope you die in a slow burning house fire. Anyone who would just abandon an animal like that is lower than human. I would have more respect for [not much] a person who just put a bullet in the dog's head as opposed to abandoning it to the elements and predators. My current companion was a rescue. He's now 13, eat up with cancer and living on borrowed time. He also has hip dysplasia and has difficulty getting around. He was beaten and starved when I got him. He's been with me 12 years now, and I've had dogs before him, but he's REALLY taught me the definition of what a friend is. I think more of him than most humans I meet. Now he spends most of his days in bed. I bought him a baby crib mattress and I keep it in the shop with me so we can hang out all day, everyday. He usually just watches me trim brass in between customers. LOL. He's on a two different pain meds now and I don't expect him to last much longer. He's the best friend I've ever had. Sorry for the thread drift.

  10. A Lonely Man on a Beach   A man washed up on a beach after a shipwreck. Only a sheep and a sheepdog were washed-up with him. After looking around, he realized that they were stranded on a deserted island. After being there awhile, he got into the habit of taking his two animal companions to the beach every evening to watch the sunset.   One particular evening, the sky was a fiery red with beautiful cirrus clouds, the breeze was warm and gentle - a perfect night for romance.   As they sat there, the sheep started looking better and better to the lonely man. Soon, he leaned over to the sheep and put his arm around it.   The sheepdog, ever-protective of the sheep, growled fiercely until the man took his arm from around the sheep. After that, the three of them continued to enjoy the sunsets together, but there was no more cuddling.   A few weeks passed-by and, lo and behold, there was another shipwreck. The only survivor was Hillary Clinton. That evening, the man brought Hillary to the evening beach ritual. It was another beautiful evening - red sky, cirrus clouds, a warm and gentle breeze - perfect for a night of romance.   Pretty soon, the man started to get those feelings again. He fought the urges as long as he could but he finally gave-in and leaned over to Hillary and told her he hadn't had sex for months.   Hillary batted her eyelashes and asked if there was anything she could do for him.             He said, 'Take the dog for a walk .'

  15. huge ass rainbow in the southern sky as the sun set.     There were people pulling off the interstate (  not very smart) to take pics of it, the bridge near the store had several cars stopped with people taking pics.   One selfie pic I saw being taken in our lot made me LOL.   Two gay dudes getting a selfie (took several tries before they were happy) with the rainbow in the background. I am guessing it was on FB before they pulled away.  ( almost made the "oops" of saying "before they pulled out"  ;)  )

  17. 2 things for me.   1. I love the fact that the red dress picture is in a Porsche that was a gift from Kris. At almost $200k for the car, the dress and IMHO she looks killer. Nothing like kicking in KJ's face for being a huge $#&% and lying through interviews that she had no clue!   2. The bewb's are better than most Hollywood starlet's and I'd rock a set like that any day (epecially at 65!). Plus she looks like Jessica Lange and who doesn't love crazy?   Just saying, it's been done pretty nice looking for what's been done. My poor husband on the other hand is way less enthusiastic about this than I am. I have to go make Baked Ziti and try to cheer him up now. :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:

  20. So, some of you saw my feeble attempt at getting some video with a cheap quadcopter I bought to play with. My flying wasn't pretty, but the video wasn't terrible (meaning quality of image) considering the cost. However, it did teach me one thing, and that is simply, Quad's are awesome. Fast forward a month and my lack of self control has me a new quad that is simply amazing. This is only my second attempt at making a video by editing video segments and adding audio, but I think it turned out pretty well. This quad has a camera attached that will shoot in 4k and take 12MB pictures. It is also night and day easier to fly. A couple of things I learned along the way for anyone interested. While cheap quad's are great for learning, the are very difficult to fly in a steady fashion. You will get better with them, but they will never allow you to get great video. You can get a cheap quad for $60 or less that will let you learn the basics, but you will quickly want to upgrade after you start playing with them. There is some pretty amazing technology out there now. I purchased the latest DJI Phantom 3 which is the quad you see them show a lot on TV. It's kind of like the AR/Glock of the Quad world. When you hear of an accident with a quad, no matter what one it was, they show a picture of a Phantom. If anyone is interested in learning a bit more, I would be glad to discuss it. First, a pic of the quad. A pic from about 400ft above my friends house. A pic of the Natchez Parkway Bridge And last, the video I did. Not terrible for my third flight and 2nd video ever made. It was all filmed this morning. https://youtu.be/ACswd_D1ofc

  21. I am with Maroon, although I can say there is probably nothing that gets me more worked up than abuse to animals, but dogs specifically.  It was a very good video, but as with most of the like videos, aspca, etc, I have to turn the channel because I just can't stand to watch it.  I know what they are trying to get across, but I just get too worked up.   I will say, that is one of my favorite things about this board and why I feel like TGO is so different from the few other boards I am on, and that is because we have a very outspoken group of dog/animal lovers.

  24. A farmer gets into his truck and drives to his neighbors house. Knocks on the door and a young man about 9 years comes to the door. Can I help you asks the boy is your daddy home asks the farmer. No sir says the boy he went into town. Well is your momma home asks the farmer. No sir she went with dad. How about your older brother Howard? No sir he went with them to town. The farmer stands there mumbling to himself. The boy says can I help you, I know where all the tools are kept if you need to borrow one. The farmer says no that his brother Howard had got his daughter Pearly Mae knocked up. The little boy thought for a little bit. Well I guess you'll have to talk to dad then. But if it helps any he gets $50.00 for the bull and $25.00 for the hog but I'm not sure what he charges for Howard. :rofl:

  25. Not sure what part of Clinton you live in but the east side going out towards I75 has some underground wet springs. Ask me how I know???? I would make my post holes wider at the bottom when digging and put 6" of concrete in the bottom and let the set for a day before putting posts on then concrete around them. I do a lot of building and am close, if you need any help let me know, I could spare a few hours.

  27. All our dogs and cats have come to us. Over the 25 years we have lives in this house (our first house) dogs and cats have found their way to the place. Now a few were found at diff places in our travels but all "found" us. I have lost count as far as how many, we now have 7 dogs and 14 cats. Oldest dog is 11 and oldest cat is 14, Megan the cat is deaf and blind in one eye, she stays inside with us.

  34. There s a lot of Actors and Actresses in Tinsel Town that agree that Americans should be able to have and own guns but to scared to admit it. In several cases where a person spoke out in favor of them soon found themselves unable to find work in Hollywood. By that happening many have just kept quiet about it or even spoke against gun violence to keep working. Ever so often another one speaks out and expresses their true feelings. I guess those are the few that no longer need to work.........jmho

  36. When a pistol jams is generally due to mis-feed clear able with a tap, rap, bang. If it's something more then that then your down until it's figured out and resolved. It might or might not be a simple mechanical problem. When a revolver locks up, semantic difference but none the less correct, it's generally due to a primer backing out of a primer pocket enough to lock up the cylinder. I've had this happen to me several times with reloaded ammunition but only a couple of times with factory ammunition. Clearing this is involves either a sharp Strike to the right cylinder side which if your lucky might only require your palm or fist. I've also had mechanical failure requiring repair work. Bottom line have a fall back plan and train for it but overall the snub nose has lots of good things going for it.

  37. I was wondering about this.  Coming down 81 out of Bristol and a guy passes me on his Harley, no helmet.  Thought maybe the law was repealed.    Map of helmet laws:  http://www.iihs.org/iihs/topics/laws/helmetuse/mapmotorcyclehelmets  (the deep south and the left coast have something in common :P  ) NH, IL, IA have no laws.   IL... no helmet law but fireworks are illegal.  So you're smart enough to know if you should wear a helmet but you're too stupid to light a firecracker. :screwy:   IMHO if I want to ride down to Burger King without a helmet, I should be able to.  However, if I want to ride thru Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge during the height of tourist season then I'll probably wear a helmet.  And I won't get into the "what if" scenarios.... you take a risk when you travel.  I've seen plenty of wrecks between big rigs and cars/vans, etc. where seat belts and airbags didn't make a difference.  :2cents:

  38. Definitely 6x6s. No doubt. Use 2x12s on the floor, if used for firewood, that's a lot of weight. Personally I'd go with 12" floor joist centers under the wood storage area then go to 16" centers for tool storage area. A 6/12 pitch is REALLY steep, much more so than the drawing. The drawing looks closer to a 3/12 pitch, which is plenty unless you want a lot of height in the attic for some reason, storage, etc. Depending on how wide the building is, you may need some additional support in the center of the building. A 36" door may be ok if no large power tools such as tillers or push mowers, etc are in there. Otherwise consider a set of double doors. No windows, not worth it unless you plan on sitting at a work bench in there in which case you will be miserable without power no matter what. And my experience says that skylights are a pain in the rear and not worth the expense. It wouldn't cost much to put a light or two and some outlets in there if needed but if not, a flashlight would be better than windows.

  39. Bigger.  Always Bigger.    Draw up a floor plan layout.  Measure out all the stuff you think you might put in there, and make sure it all fits with adequate space to walk around it without having climb over stuff or move 5 things to get at that one stuck in the back.  I bet the first thing you'll notice is that a 36" wide door is fairly limiting.  I'd look at a 48" door.    Yes, 6x6 supports.  4x6's at least.  Over-build the crap out of it, you'll be glad you did later.    Skylights instead of windows.  Saves wall space, cheaper and more secure than windows.      Gable/soffit/ridge vents for some air flow.    Think real hard about running power.  It's a whole lot easier now than later.

  42.   I would rather have Spots by my side to help me solve any problem than most others. He is not dangerous unless there is a need to be.   Funny how you talk about how flag burning is free speech yet when someone says something you don't like you say he should be committed. He has made no threats towards you so who are you to say he needs to be committed? As much as you seem to dislike Spots for what he has said you doing the exact same thing.   As I said their are consequences for everyone involved. If someone burns a flag and their ass gets beat then, right or wrong, that is a consequence. The person doing the beating will likely find themselves in jail for doing it and that is their consequence. If getting an ass beating is worth it to burn the flag then so be it. And if going to jail is worth beating the flag burners ass then so be it. The only person that can determine if it is worth it is the person suffering the consequences.

  46. The problem with insurance is the majority of accidents are caused by Inattentive automobile drivers. This is really my point. If the powers that be would focus their efforts on training and reminding all drivers to be aware and share the road, there would be less accidents. Heck, how many car drivers don't even bother to use turn signals or drive with consideration to other drivers Instead, we have folks (just like the ones that want gun laws) imposing a law to mandate helmets and think they have saved lives. This is mommy bloomburg type stuff. After all, it's for the children!
