  1. Looks like there is more variety of snake gaiters now. A few years ago, as best can recall, the kevlar ones and the hard-plastic snake guards and snake boots were about all I saw online.

    Recall reading one story of a guy wearing the hard plastic guards on one of those tiny FL islands that are rattler havens. He said he got hit and the snake got hung up on a buckle or something, and was walking around trying to figure out how to get a big pissed-off rattler detached from his snake guard.

    ;):rofl::shake:

    Now THERE is a conundrum. hahahah can you imagine walking up to your friends with a rattlesnake on your gaiters, going ..."guys, can someone give me a hand with this"?

  2. :cry:I want more. Of whatever this is.

    for real!! what is this all about anyway?

    and I have a couple of questions..Since when are civilians required to disarm around federal agents?

    I mean, the way I see it, if those folks are required to disarm, why shouldn't those federal agents disarm also? after all, its for everyone's protection.

  3. hey Strelvecina, I have to ask, do you think we have no heart now?

    Just a question, you understand.

    I myself have no heart. If it were up to me, this guy would be tortured in order to get the names of the others that raped this girl, then he'd be shot in the back of the head and dumped across the border. We can always build the wall out of MEAT.

    I don't believe that the young lady asked to be raped. she didn't ask to be killed and HE had no business in our country.

    but you know..that's me. Poor, heartless me.

  4. Mine ate anything I fed it! Crappy ammo, ball, hollow point, it didn't seem to matter what I gave it, it when pow every time I pulled the trigger.

    Once you break it in, it's an incredibly accurate and reliable pistol.

    it DOES take a break in period though. It has fairly tight tolerances when it comes out of the factory.

    I traded mine, with another pistol for a rifle that I've wanted for a long time though.

    I will definitely get another. they're very compact and darned good shooters!

  5. I have to agree. While I think BP needs to get their act together BIGTIME, I think that this is a situation of a bunch of asshats (congress) trying to bring a bunch of cheap basterds to accounts..but they don't have a clue how to do it.

    I think BP knows, though, that if they don't figure out a way to fix this, America will hit them in the pocketbook..they're already doing it with the boycott.

    Rosenthal appeared Tuesday in King County Juvenile Court, where supporters said that she lives at the Virginia Miller House, a residential facility with behavior-modification programs for teen girls, but was in contact with her family. It's unclear why the girl is not living with her family.

    King County Superior Court pro-tem Judge Ann Danieli found that Seattle police had probable cause to arrest Rosenthal for investigation of third-degree assault and obstruction. However, the judge agreed with the girl's defense attorney that she should be released ....

    Rosenthal was charged in November with second-degree robbery. According to prosecutors, she punched a 15-year-old boy in the face while she and a group of youths were on their way to a rave in South Seattle last Aug. 28. The boy told police that his cellphone and $20 were stolen in the incident. A 14-year-old boy told police that he was punched in the head and his hat was stolen.

    Authorities say the case was dismissed when the boys refused to testify.

    In April 2008, Rosenthal was charged with third-degree theft after she allegedly stole a minivan in Tukwila, prosecutors said. Kent police said she used a screwdriver to break the ignition and start the vehicle.

    The charge was later amended to theft of a motor vehicle. Rosenthal was given a deferred disposition — charges would be dropped if she stayed out of trouble — because it was a first-time offense, said Ian Goodhew, deputy chief of staff for Prosecuting Attorney Dan Satterberg.

    , Americans may question whether the Tea Party platform can cross international and cultural borders. For activists outside the U.S., the answer is a resounding “yes.”

    Betreed niet op me

    “I think the message of the American Revolution is global.The message of natural, unalienable rights, the message of opposition to tyrannical government — that’s not just well-known, that’s universal,”
    Boris Karpa, organizer of the Israeli Tea Party, told The Daily Caller in an e-mail. “As you know well, many countries have based their founding documents on the U.S. Declaration of Independence or other American documents.”

    לא לדרוך לי

    Although several international organizers had never even heard of the Boston Tea Party until U.S. protests brought the events of 1773 back into the spotlight,
    they now wear the Tea Party badge proudly as an example of American exceptionalism worth emulating.

    Please, go read the whole thing.

    Just so you know, I got this article from the webblog "knowledge is power".

  8. I actually prefer the graveyard shift. It's great! I don't have to deal with all the bosses being around, I take my breaks whenever the mood hits me, and I don't have to deal with people's bullsh*t. Oh yea baby, I'm a vampire...and I love it!

    Zulu Cowboy

    HAHAHAHAHA you SO sound like my wife.

    It's comical. we have dark heavy drapes in the bedroom and they're rarely opened during the day.

    She works in the NICU.

  9. I have to disagree. To me they are so ugly they are cool looking. Kinda like a bulldog.

    These pistols are actually single shot. you kept bullets in the grip area where a magazine would normally go.

    to load it you turned the back of the pistol to unlock the breech, and loaded a round into it.

    they were made so that you could basically walk up to a german soldier and shoot him at close range. when he's dead, you take his weapons and ammo and then give the pistol to the next person.

  10. Oh man..THIS is funny!!! read the whole thing with pictures here:

    Pro-Israel Activists Infiltrate and Mock Left Wing Rally | Before It's News

    At the end of Saturday, June 5, several thousand left wing activists staged a demonstration to protest against the in connection with the detention of "peacekeeping" flotilla Free Gaza. Amongst them the Knesset faction Hadash, Dov Hanin and Mohamed Baraka, head of the organization "Peace Now, Yariv Oppenheimer, a veteran activist Uri Avnery. However, the pro-Israel protesters infiltrated the heart of the procession without the knowledge of the activists of the left. Only an hour after the rally began did the organizers realize something was wrong.

    About a dozen Russian-speaking young men, aged 25-35 years, created mocking posters in English and Russian languages, to show by their words, the moral squalor of the left wing camp. At their own expense they printed banners reading: We Made the World Abandon Reason (a quote from the now popular We Won the World parody video), We'll Stab for Peace, What the Hell Am I Doing Here. And Do Not Mess with the Zohan (a recent movie about an Israeli counter terrorist operative.)

  11. Is their something some of the more experienced hands say or do to help them understand, or are some people just unreachable? i cant get through to some of her female friends i usually do pretty good with the males i can just talk to them and they listen, but with the females it is like talking to a fence post, is it just plain ignorance or do these people just go out of their way to be the way they are, or are they just so scared to admit the world is the way it is that they would rather hide behind an anti mask? ( i didnt mean to be cutting on females either some of the males around knot heads also)

    Some folks you can't reach. Some have to learn on their own. these are the folks that yuo just have to hope for the best with.

  12. If they would have been civil, they would have gotten of with little more than a ticket. perhaps even a warning.

    Instead, they choose to risk getting their butts run over, killing them and perhaps hurting someone else...and THEN they fight with the cop??

    yeah. that chick deserved to get punched. She was looking out for her "cuz", who was resisting arrest.

    That cop looked no more dangerous than a jelly doughnut. They thought they could get away with something.

    Good work on the part of the police officer.

  13. Strel, there is so much crap flying about this health care law, it's unbelievable.

    The CBO says that what the democrats have said isn't accurate and costs are going to skyrocket.

    Nobody trusts it because the congress won't use it.

    I don't think it'll last after November

  14. That's not the end you have to worry about though... :lol:

    Also, by the time you can inspect a snake that closely, it's most likely too late to decide whether to kill it or leave it alone.

    Better to just learn what the 4 poisonous snakes here in the U.S. look like and go from there. Anything that isn't one of those 4 isn't going to be a problem.

    Those 4 are:

    Rattlers - Several species, but all have one thing in common - the rattle - and that makes them easy to identify, as a rule.

    Copperheads

    Cotton Mouths/Water Moccasins

    And lastly, Coral snakes. It's the only one of the 4 that isn't a pit viper.

    All of the pit vipers have the same general build - fat for their length - and the same shaped head. And there's also those 2 pits between their eye and nose, if you wanna get close enough to look. :D

    There are a couple of look-alike non-poisonous snakes, like the puff adder, that has the same general build, but it doesn't have pits, poison, or fangs.

    And as a rule, all the non-poisonous snakes are slim for their length, and have a more egg-shaped head, compared to the arrow-head shape of the pit vipers.

    Belly scales and the shape of their pupils, etc. are all good identifiers "after the fact", but they're tough to use when you're dealing with a live snake that you have to decide what to do with/about.

    J.

    Unfortunately, that's a rule only unless you head to south Florida, where non indigenous species are now making themselves at home.

    I don't know if it's an urban myth but I have heard that folks are finding cobras running around down there...;)

    OS, Hunter, No disrespect to you but I highly suggest that you don't attempt to make friends with a cottonmouth.

    I didn't advocate killing them..simply giving them a wide berth. You gentlemen are welcome to pursue any line of attention you like regarding them but I myself will make every attempt to leave them alone....at a distance. I haven't seen the discovery channel show but I've seen more than my fair share of cottonmouth moccasins.

    They'll bite ya.

  15. Outrunning them blue racers and hoop snakes, I guess.

    - OS

    actually, my brother Andrew outran the snake quite handily. He outran me too the turd...then again he yelled snake when he hit the end of the boat ramp and by that time he was stretched out like a greyhound on a rocket..he ran up to the house, got a hoe and went back and cut the snake up with it.

    I never said the snake caught him, I said it chased him. :tinfoil:

  16. Urban snake legend.

    - OS

    Don't bet on it. :tinfoil: I may not be a native Tennessean, but I grew up in the swamps of S. Ga. I know snakes...and a cotton mouth is a lot like a Bear. There's no telling what will make em mad and during the dog days, they're mad anyway.

    It's best to find out what they look like if they live around you and give em a wide berth. I HAVE seen them chase folks. They're territorial snakes...just think of them as an ex wife with issues and venom.

    :D

  17. I was surprised to read in the article, that the Saudis don't care too much for Iran.

    The Iranian leaders are too radical, even for the Saudis. It's a good thing, too. Strange

    bedfellows, but I 'm glad to see it.

    Understand..it's not that they're too radical for the Saudis.

    for the majority of Saudi citizens, Iranian laws are in keeping with their idea of how it should be (except for many Saudi women and young people)...the problem comes in when the royal family tries to reconcile Iranian religious/political doctrines with a monarchy.

    there's no way to do it and there's also no way that the Saud Royal family is going to give up all that power.

    They'll commit their kingdom to war before they let it happen. Keep in mind that they're considerably wealthier, better armed and better trained too.

    (their religious police walk around with HK MP5's...and that's the religious police.) Since the early 90's they've had the training and backing of the U.S.

    this means better equipment and better training.

    Several times in the past, they've uncovered plots by Iran to overthrow them so no..they don't care for the Persians..and that whole Arab/Persian thing is a Whole other barrel of monkeys.

    needless to say that Arabs and Persians have little love lost between each other.

    Tolerate is a great word to use in that situation.

  18. Here's the thing. This law is about the dumbest one on the books right now.

    ANY person using a firearm in a lawful manner I.E by a resident to stop a burglar or intruder won't be prosecuted.

    Why? because if they do, then it can be taken to court and any defense lawyer worth is salt will use the Heller decision against the city of Chicago.

    That would strike down their ban that much faster.
