Alpo

He is also "anti-getting shot". In the 60s he went to Sweden, where he got a job as a PE instructor in a girls school. Kept him out of Vietnam.

This is a very neat thread. I like the video. I like the PDF. But I wish they had a picture of the file. I really would like to see a file that is both small enough to be considered a monopoly piece, and large enough to be useful.

Should I do that with my cup measuring cup, my pint measuring cup, or my quart measuring cup?

For certain sure don't want to drop the soap.

The stolen suitcase story reminded me. Woman said that during one of the frequent New York garbage strikes, she would take her trash and put it in shopping bags and leave it on the seat of her unlocked car. It was always gone by the next day. In Mad Magazine one time there was a strip about a woman taking the garbage out. She dumped the trash can into a Bloomberg's shopping bag, and was taking it out to the can at the street. And some kid came running by and snatched the bag out of her hand and kept going. She automatically was yelling STOP THIEF, when someone asked what he got, and she realized. "My garbage."

Now if it was a bit part, they could either write it out of the show or replace the actor. But a main actor. I was watching an NCIS last night. This guy was not making it on his day job, so he started selling guns out of his house. Fully automatic AKs and RPGs. And when they have him in interrogation he explains that he could not cover the bills with the money he was making doing whatever he did. And Bishop says, "So you decided to start selling death machines?" I've known for the past 20 years that NCIS is anti-gun. Everything that comes out of Hollyweird is anti-gun. But if Miss Wickersham happened to herself be pro-gun, and when she saw the script said "hell no I ain't going to say that crap", I wonder what they'd do. Probably just cast another actor for that scene. Have Torres doing interrogation, maybe, or McGee. I remember when Lethal Weapon 2 came out. There was a big discussion about whether Mel Gibson was pro-gun or anti-gun. There were these anti-gun/anti-NRA posters hanging all over the police station in that movie. And on the one side you had people saying that that proved he was anti-gun, and on the other side there were people saying that this was just a job and his personal feelings didn't matter. My thought was that if he had told them to take that garbage down or he was not going to do the movie they would have taken the posters down. It's hard to have a successful sequel when you have to recast the parts. Look at George of the Jungle and George of the Jungle 2. 2 did not use Brendan Fraser, and it was almost straight to video. Nobody watched it. Can you imagine Terminator 2 starting Stallone? Or Rocky 3 starring Ahnuld? Sidetracked myself, didn't I?

I've seen a lot of "sidewalk closed" signs around here. It's where the city is doing repairs to the sidewalk, so they have closed it to prevent pedestrians from walking on the wet concrete. Or even better, to prevent bicyclists from riding through the wet concrete.

I was in a pawn shop one time, and the owner was telling a story about a customer. Woman comes screeching into the parking lot, jump side of the car while it's still bouncing back and forth from how hard she hit the brakes, and ran in the store saying she needed a gun. "I need a gun! And a bullet!!" When she wouldn't explain he declined to sell her anything, and she ran out and jumped back in the car and peeled off down the street. About 5 minutes later a deputy sheriff's car comes screeching into the parking lot and a guy wearing just a deputies uniform pants and a t-shirt come in asking if they had seen such a woman. They said she had been there. That she wanted to buy a gun and one bullet. "You didn't sell her one did you!??" They told him no, and he went out and jumped in his cop car and charged off down the street. Couple days later they found out what was going on. She was his wife. Came home early and caught him in bed with his girlfriend. If I was in her place I would have wanted two bullets.

We know this was not drawn by a Canadian. Look at what that left hand guy is wearing on his head. A beanie?? Riiiight.

I thought he had had too many intoxicating spirits and that's why he was irrigating himself. Isn't that what he said?

You say you are irrigating yourself? You are incontinent?

Seems like there's a few people here that have been or still are corrections officers. The prisoners' clothing - how often does it get changed, how often does it get laundered? I remember reading about a military stockade, in the 60s. The prisoner would get up every morning, strip his rack, then wash his bedding and his uniform, and when his bedding and his uniform were hung out to dry he then would make his bed with clean bedding and put on a clean uniform. This was done every day. They did this on their knees on the concrete floor with a scrub brush. It was part of their punishment. Somehow I can't see the prisoners at Folsom on their knees with a scrub brush washing their jumpsuits (probably be considered cruel and unusual these days). But I did just suddenly get to wondering how often they were changed and how often they were washed.

I'm gonna have to disagree with that statement. 20 rounds a second is 1200 rounds a minute. That is Ingram M10 9 mm fast. That is German MG42 light machine gun fast. That is faster than just about any other fully automatic firearm in existence. And in a standard Glock 17/18, it is totally uncontrollable.

Hey!! I resemble that remark!

When I was about 22 I conducted an experiment. You see cops on TV sitting in the car with the driver's door open shooting through the little v between the driver's window and the windshield support. Experiment. See how loud that is. 4 inch 357. I believe I have had tinnitus ever since.

Squirrels or raccoons?

The deer do belong to the state. That's obvious. If it was my deer, I could shoot it anytime of the year, I could shoot it anytime of the day, I could shoot it no matter how old it was, I could shoot it no matter what sex it was, and I could shoot it with anything from a 22 short to a 577 tyrannosaur. Because it's my deer. I can butcher my cow like that. I can butcher my pig like that. I can butcher my sheep like that. But I can't butcher my deer like that. Because it's not my deer. It's the state's, and they make the rules. But whether the deer belongs to me or the state, it is still my property. I got a ticket from code enforcement one time. They said I had an abandoned vehicle. I told them that it was my truck and it was parked in my front yard so how could it be abandoned? They said it did not have a current license plate, which by Florida law made it abandoned. I wanted to know how he knew it did not have a current license plate, and he said he looked. I back my trucks in. It's easier to get into my yard while backing, and easier to get out of my yard by driving straight out. So I back in. The only way he can see my license plate, or lack thereof, would be to get his happy ass out of his cop car and walk up into my yard and go around behind my truck and look. I did not invite him into my yard, which makes that trespass - a misdemeanor. He was wearing a gun, which makes that armed trespass, which is a felony in the state of Florida. I wonder what would have happened if I had pulled a gun on him and tried to make a citizen's arrest? Actually I'm pretty sure what would happen. I would end up down at the gray bar Hotel.
