I heard about the "Indian" lie detector test when I was a kid.
I believe almost anyone could pass that test. Accomplished liars like OJ and Casey Anthony would pass it with flying colors.

I was a year younger than everyone else and smaller than everyone else throughout my school years. I learned pretty quick that bullies don't like people who fight back. Because of my stature (weight and height), I also learned that if you know it's going to be a fight, get the first shot in and make it count...bullies don't like getting hit first either.
I never got suspended and the bullies left me alone for the most part in junior and senior high school.

For some reason I thought this was about a new type of skinning knife.

First off, I don't like Taylor Swift. Don't like the hype behind the Swift machine, the fawning publicity, her politics or her music.
That being said....She has become a billionaire of her own making. She also donates large sums of money to (mostly) worthy charities. She gives out large bonuses to the "little" people who do the hard work, the "roadies" if you will. I've never seen her show, but I understand that she provides a lengthy show and puts her heart into every show and puts on the appearance of caring about her audience. She writes her own music, plays multiple instruments and actually sings at her shows, no lip sync or fake stuff. She also protects her image judiciously, no wild rumors of drug abuse or sex tapes floating around.
Hell, I may not like her at all, but I respect her as a musician and, grudgingly, as a seemingly decent person.
Oh, and she has more talent in her little toe than Will Farrell has in his entire body.

I've bought plenty of items in online auctions.
Here are my suggestions,
- Have good pictures and plenty of them. I'm not going to spend hundreds, or thousands, of dollars based upon four blurry pictures.
- Have good descriptions of the firearm. Describe what can be seen (inside and out) in detail along with the normal manufacturer, caliber, barrel length, how many magazines, special markings, etc, etc.
- Be available to answer questions about a particular item. I can't tell you how many times I've seen possible/probable fakes and could not get answers from the auction personnel to confirm, or refute, my observations that I have to base upon pictures.
- Don't have hidden reserves. If the owner wants a reserve, start the bidding at the owner's required minimum price. I detest reserves and won't bid on them if I see "Reserve not met".
- Don't try to hide/mask any blemishes, rust or and defects in, or on, the firearm. It will come back to bite you.
I talked extensively with a local guy that runs a local auction. It's a ton of work to run an 500 item auction once a month or so. Sure you'll get 18 - 22% from both the seller and buyer but it is a ton of work. Paperwork for the buyer/seller/ATF, take the pictures/writing up the descriptions/posting the same, the 4473's and call ins, shipping, tons of questions and storage of the items require a lot of manhours.
Good luck if you decide to become an online auctioneer.

Remember Sunoco 200 thru 260 grade fuel.
Pick your Octane!
The garbage 'fillers' in gasoline used then (and now) created a reason for having to "blow the carbon" out.

The SSN thing is laughable and shows a lack of common sense....as does posting a picture of a firearm in such deplorable condition.

They may like em better,😂🤣 Ive had them and I don’t think they’re that bad!
Agreed they’re not as good as slow cooked grits. I’ve had em though and I put them over scrambled eggs and bacon
The instant will do in a pinch if there is nothing else available...but I damn sure am not going to pay restaurant prices for them. Besides that, what kind of restaurant in the South doesn't have real grits available for purchase?

Probably for asking thought-provoking questions.
I don't think of Alpo as a "Florida Man" as the term is a (somewhat) recent slang term indicating low intelligence. I think that Alpo is far from a person of low intelligence, quite the contrary. Much of a person's intelligence is acquired through accumulated knowledge. He probably gained a lot of his knowledge by asking questions that others consider 'weird'.
I like to think that I've become a smarter person via Alpo's questions.

You can probably get instant grits on Amazon, you do have Amazon there right?
Those things don't taste or have the consistency of real grits. I went to a Village Inn off of I-4 and US HWY 27 for breakfast before a large match in Orlando once. Asked for grits, they brought out instant grits...I sent it back.

Alpo, If you ever do something "Florida stupid" and get on the news, we will all petition the news station to say "Alpo" instead of "A Florida Man". 😁

Twelve Iranians died and eighteen were injured today a stampede at a Tehran bingo hall.

And the 509th could win the war...again! If any nuclear material is left available, it could be turned into a "dirty bomb" smuggled to associated agents who could use it against anybody, anywhere in the world! Just sayin'... Sometimes it is necessary to defacate or abdicate!
I'm actually surprised that a "dirty bomb" hasn't been already deployed.

One thing I noticed in the pictures from Iran is that ALL of the cars that are identifiable are of French manufacture...and they aren't that old.

Ah yes, the good ole Florida Man term. Anyone who happens to commit a crime while in Florida or while living in Florida, becomes a Florida Man.
I seriously doubt that the vast majority of the so-called Florida Men/Women are actually from Florida.

Butter, salt and pepper on my grits
BUT WAIT, THERE"S MORE.....
I like to put the grits on top of my scrambled eggs, cut the grits into the eggs and spread cold apple sauce over the top of the egg/grits mixture. Grits on top of over easy eggs and then mixed together (no apple sauce) is a good meal.
Also like shrimp and grits. Fish and grits is good too.
Fish fried with a grit coating is pretty good also.
Grits with redeye gravy as Hardpan suggested is a good dish too.
