  1. We know this was not drawn by a Canadian. Look at what that left hand guy is wearing on his head. A beanie?? Riiiight.
  2. I thought he had had too many intoxicating spirits and that's why he was irrigating himself. Isn't that what he said?
  3. You say you are irrigating yourself? You are incontinent?
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Hey!! I resemble that remark!
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Digital or analog is irrelevant. The difference between Central Time and Eastern Time is 1 hour. Whether you're looking at a digital clock or whether you're looking at a clock with hands, the difference is 1 hour. Not 55 minutes.
  10. How do you work it? I was watching a video. The guy had a clipboard in his hand, and while he was talking there was this clicking noise in the background. He had a German accent. Then his hand comes up into camera, and we see that the clicking noise is he is working the ballpoint pen while he is talking. And he's pushing the thing with his index finger. I have always used my thumb. So now I'm curious as to whether other people, here, use their finger. Or if maybe that's a European thing, and that's why this German guy was doing it that way.
  11. This is from an article about the eclipse. McCurtain County contains the city of Idabel, which NASA has predicted will be among the 13 best spots in the country to see the total eclipse when it occurs. The total eclipse—when the sun is completely shrouded by the moon—is due to begin at 1:45 p.m. CT (2:40 p.m. ET) there and end at 1:49 p.m. I'm pretty damn certain that Central Time and Eastern Time are exactly 1 hour apart. Not 55 minutes. If it's 1:45 Central then it is 2:45 Eastern, and if it is 2:40 Eastern it is 1:40 Central. Somebody needs to either be fired or sent off to remedial reporting class.
  12. There's a man in Louisiana that does not think he can and is suing the state because of it. He asked the game warden what his probable cause was for being on his property. The warden said that the fact that the man was hunting was all the reason the game wereWARDEN needed. The man said that if the police want to crawl in your bedroom window and look through your house they need a search warrant. Yet for the game warden to climb over your fence and look through your land they don't need one? He's pretty sure the 4th amendment says they do. https://www.wbrz.com/news/east-feliciana-parish-timber-land-owner-sues-the-state-believes-his-fourth-amendment-rights-are-being-violated
  13. That reminds me of thoroughly modern Millie. The elevator in their rooming house. There had been a dance team and they used to practice in the elevator. So now the only way to get it to work was you had to tap dance. You get in, push the button, and start dancing. If you don't dance the elevator doesn't move.
