I ordered some bullets. They put them in one of those IF IT FITS IT SHIPS boxes. Wrapped it in all directions with fiberglass strapping tape. They marked it right. It's heavy. About 35 pounds. That's what I found when I opened the lid. That's carpet padding. More padding on both sides. It did not shift. I have not taken any of the bullets out of the box yet, but when I do it will not surprise me to find another layer of carpet padding.

People keep making fun of this. But think a moment. You're riding your bicycle after dark. You don't have lights, so it's not safe to ride out on the street, so you're riding on the sidewalk. Or you're jogging down the sidewalk after dark. You've been running so long that you're panting and you might not notice that the sidewalk stopped. And you run off into the ditch, or you ride your bike off into the ditch. Or you run into that telephone pole. The sidewalk just stopping might not catch your eye. That big sign in the middle of the sidewalk probably will. Is that really any different than turning into a street and saying a sign that says DEAD END? You'd probably realize that when you didn't have any road left. Yet people are happy to see those signs. How about the ones that say NO THROUGH STREET? I've not seen anyone make fun of those signs.

A good friend of mine was a big wrestling fan. He was over sister and brother-in-law's house one day playing trivial pursuit. Now for those that have never played, or those that have not played in a while and might not remember, there are cards. Each card has six questions, and each question has a color beside it. And as you go around the board the spaces that you land on are different colors. The color you landed on specifies which colored question you will be asked. But when you get to the winning spot, you have to answer one more question. And the other players get to decide which of the six questions on the card they will ask. So Keith is sitting there and the others are discussing it. "Ask him the geography one. He's terrible about geography." And everybody agreed so they asked him the geography question on the card. What is the capital of Mongolia? And they were all stunned when he replied, "Ulan Bator". HOW IN THE HELL DID YOU KNOW THAT?? "That's where the Mongolian Stomper comes from."

I wouldn't notice. I use an ad blocker. The only thing I noticed was Giselle advertising her other comics. And yes, most of those comics are NSFW.

How about this then. Griffin has a series taking place in Argentina in 1942. Argentina is neutral in World War II. And there is a German embassy and there is a US embassy. And if a member of the US embassy was to go shoot a member of the German embassy, I don't believe they would consider that war. I think the Argentine authorities would consider that murder. NCIS episode I was watching last night. There are two mossad agents in DC and they are there to kill these three Palestinians. Tony tells the mossad guy, "that would be murder", and Malachi answers, "no, that is war". Israel and Palestine could certainly be at war. But the US wasn't. Which makes us neutral. And I believe that would make the killing be murder. Just looking for other people's thoughts on the matter. Although I'm sure no one here has ever given any thought to the matter before.

I don't watch wrestling. The girl in panel one is a pro wrestler. And she's going down for the match. And she is obviously not going to wrestle with those ice wings on. They are apparently just for show at the beginning. https://pixietrixcomix.com/pixie-trix-comix/do-not-adjust-your-sets I seem to recall an episode of Bones where they had midget wrestling. Dwarf wrestling. Whatever the term. And one of the wrestlers used the name the Iron Leprechaun. He goes out before the match dressed like Lucky, from Lucky Charms. With a suit coat and a derby, both of which he removed before he got into the ring. So is that a fairly normal thing in pro wrestling? The wrestlers come down to the ring wearing weird outfits designed to get people's attention. Then they take them off before they actually get to wrestling?

And it was a copy of a real gun, so you put the controls that would be on a real gun on your airgun. But these are non-working controls. They are just there because they would be there on a real gun. In the owner's manual what you mentioned that this is the slide stop and this is the safety and etc, and say non-working? I just recently bought a Ruger Mark IV air pistol. And it's got all the controls of a Ruger Mark IV. But the only one that works is the left side safety. Everything else is just cast into the gun, because the real gun has them. And I sat there trying to get the right side (ambidextrous) safety lever to move. There is a (non-moving) lever just above the trigger on the left side. It is the slide stop on the real gun. I thought that was what released the barrel so you could cock it. Tried to get in to move for quite a while, before I got out the owner's pamphlet and read what passes for instructions.

In that second one he kept calling that tree a maple. I've had maple trees growing in four different places I've lived, and ain't none of them had shagbark like that. I figured it was a hickory. Is that the way maple trees grow up north? Cuz around here they got smooth bark. I wonder why he only wore the respirator sometimes? Seems to me that if inhaling would (the other type of wood, moron) dust would be bad for you, it would always be bad for you.

I didn't think about sliding him in a carrier. I was visualizing the kid, squalling, as he went sliding down the frozen surface wearing nothing but a diaper.

Telling about that ad, and a lousy picture of the woman who won the car, are in this article. https://paulineconolly.com/2018/the-great-vegemite-comp/

I think between the reefer and the morphine you would not have too much trouble sleeping. Did you look at the way the ingredients are listed? There is 4¼M of alcohol in each ounce. M? What the hell is a m? Milliliter? That would more likely say CCs, and why would it give metric amounts in an imperial amount? It tends to make me believe that this was never a real patent medicine, and is simply a label somebody dreamed up for the meme.

That's pretty much guaranteed to get everybody to open this, right? "Let's see what this lunatic has come up with now." Murder versus War. In both of them someone gets killed. During World War II, anywhere in the European theater of operations, if an ally soldier had managed to kill Hitler - that would be War. Yay, our side. But if they had both been in Portugal, who was neutral as I understand, or in Switzerland, who was also neutral. And the allied soldier killed Hitler - would that be War? Or would that be murder?

What do you suppose the chloroform was for?

"Sir Wilfred. Don't forget the brandy!" Another excellent movie.

I don't know about Quasimodo being his best character. But Ruggles is one of the best movies I've ever seen. As long as we're talking about the Gettysburg Address.

You know, if you think about that, I don't see what their problem is. Now I, as a white guy, cannot call a black guy the evil n word. But black people call each other that all the time. It's obviously the acceptable for black people to use the evil n word. By that same reasoning, I, as a normal size person, cannot call a dwarf a midget. But that guy, since he is a dwarf, should be able to call every other dwarf midgets. If it's all right for black people to call other black people evil n word, then it must be all right for dwarfs to call other dwarfs midgets.

Bud and Lou. People quote that all the time, and most of them get it wrong. "Four score and seven years ago our forefathers brought forth ..." No. And people that say it that way need to be beat. "Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth ..." Not forefathers. Fathers. Look it up. Idiots.

There's just a simple little typo there. Actually two. Could mean there's cows on the road are dead. I don't know about y'all, but I kind of would like to be warned before I come up across some dead cows in the road.

I guess you did. I just clicked on your name to see where you were, and it says you're in Prescott Arizona, so I came back to pm you and see if you had posted something with your real address. Oops about covers it.
