Interesting. I really liked the book. I suspect the movie will be hard to watch. Walburg doesn't like guns for the same reasons as Dog the bounty hunter... He isn't allowed to own them. He a great actor.

Welcome!

Been there. Spent 7 yrs in hell. I liked the people i worked with for the most part and still keep in touch with a few, but i'm so glad i left. While I was looking anyway, the job relocating to Detroit put the search in high gear. I'm glad I escaped. If you think changing jobs with a family is stressful, try doing it twice, selling a house, and moving 100 miles during months 2-8 of your wife's first pregnancy... I don't recommend that.

They even included a FAL for street cred... Nice.

I think the dong looks ... dong-ish, but I've never held one so maybe it feels nice. And yes, wood is good. ;)

    You're not likely to find small bottles of the higher end stuff.  If you do, I'd like to know where...

Gander Mtn is like everything in Turkey Creek..... Subject to the mandatory 20% mark-up.

Welcome!

Wow, that sucks.  I'd rail the administration about getting cameras in the parking lot.  They seem to be a necessity these days, sad but true.

I'm not a bow hunter, though I've been considering it for a while.  I've heard good things about this place here in Maryville...  http://www.bowhuntersproshop.com/   The seasoned bow hunters I work with advise that the best value is typically a used bow off Craiglist.  You generally get all the goodies you need at a much reduced price.  I'm told used bows depreciate faster than an 80's Chrysler.

A horrible attack.  Yes, Gary Christian tried to post bail.    I'm on the fence with regard to national publicity.  It's been on the news non-stop here for 6 years.  Just when I thought I might not have to hear about it, the Baumgartner scandal came up and then all the re-trial mess...  I'm just tired of hearing about it.  I can't imagine what the parents have gone through over all these years.  I'm not sure I could deal with that.  I guess that's why I'm tired of hearing about it.  Horrible beyond comprehension.    As for wood chippers and such...  Seen the movie "Law Abiding Citizen"?  If so, you know which scene I've got in mind.

I sprained my foot chasing my kids around.  2 weeks later, it still hurts.   I graduated from high school before kids that just started college were born.    I remember black & white TV with rabbit ears and trying to tune in UHF and VHF channels.

  Mr. Fuji!  How cool is that?  Which theater?

Why not stick with .243?  Same ammo for both guns.  Light recoil, flat trajectory, ... dead deer. 

  Yep.  His new love interest lives here.  He's bought some property and is building a house.    Shaq sightings in the summer are fairly regular.  Everything I've heard says he's exactly like you see on TV, just a (very) big fun loving kid.  He's played pick-up b'ball games with kids in the park down the road from my house, he's been seen at the Waffle House, ...   As for Lamar... while he may be from here, he's been living in DC so long that I personally don't consider him a local anymore.    Earl Scruggs (bluegrass musician) lived in Sparta up until his recent passing.   Pat Summitt lives in Alcoa.   Phil Fulmer lives in Maryville, a couple miles from my house.    Reggie White had a house here for many years.    Trevor Bayne is from Knoxville. 

Dang it!  We're headed out of town the day before. 

  Good points.  Given that I don't own any "boutique" knives, I don't worry about it.  I've got a few nicer kitchen knives, but they're very lightly used and unlikely to get lost. 

  I wouldn't carry it routinely.  At best it might might live in the vehicle.  My intent for it is to inspect the house for storm damage or for things that go bump in the night outside.  It's much too powerful to use inside, and I have other flashlights for that. 

    You make a valid point, but one minor detail....  He's wasn't elected by popular vote, he was appointed by the city council members (who are elected).

  True.  But its been off on 2 of 3 pocket knives I've sharpened with it.  Doesn't really matter either way.   The sharpie is good idea to see where the stone is hitting.  I've just used a flashlight to look for facets.  1 facet  = good angle.  2 (or more) = get the coarse stone out and go until there's only 1. 

  It's not so much the distance as the time.  Finding a spare 2-3 hrs these days is like hunting snipe. 

For dominance issues, I recommend Cesar Milan's book...  http://www.amazon.com/Cesars-Way-Everyday-Understanding-Correcting/dp/0307337979   It made a big difference for us and for some friends who also had a with dominance issues.    If you've got a dog that likes to run and/or run off, the electronic fences and training collars work well.    Look into the "Canine Good Citizen" classes... http://www.akc.org/events/cgc/program.cfm

  Agreed.  The bright light combined with the strobe function is very disorienting.  The person on the other end will be "flash blinded" for at least a few seconds.  Plenty of time to get the upper hand.    You want a light that's easy to turn on/off quickly.  I would never wear a headlamp.  I've read that people will shoot at the light when they can't see anything else.  That's why I prefer a hand-held light.  I hold it away from my body.

:rofl:   I'd probably scream like a little girl.
