MarkFoster 0 #1 October 13, 2005 While I am pretty much of an opinion that devices only designed to take human life should be controlled better than they are in this country, there are some compelling arguments as to why I should own something with impressive firepower… 1. removing fungus infected toenails (not me… other people at my gym) 2. correcting unruly nose hair 3. convincing the bats in my refrigerator to sleep elsewhere 4. wing amputation of mosquitoes in minnesota 5. erratic driver tutoring (tire shots only, but all 4 allowed if they were on a cell phone at the time of incident) 6. flea and tick removal (self or pets) 7. speedy can opener 8. scratching apparatus for hard-to-reach places 9. television repair to correct cnn coverage of anything (or any news announcer for that matter) 10. packer education (how the last opening felt in the neck) 11. toilet plunger replacement 12. teaching mechanism for person clogging toilet 13. preparation h replacement (note to self – use with caution) 14. aggressive eradication of anything by barry manilow 15. ear wax remover (another note to self – what?) 16. super-efficient body piercing tool 17. novel way to shoot pool 18. floss replacement 19. threats to myself when the urge to get back with an ex surfaces more...???------------------- ...if ignorance is bliss, I'm in Nirvana... you don't know what you don't know 'til you don't know it.

StreetScooby 5 #9 October 14, 2005 It always makes me laugh to see an actor (without ear protection) in a movie shoot off multiple rounds with a large caliber handgun. Then turn around and casually carry on a conversation. In real life, your ears ring for 3 days.We are all engines of karma Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest #11 October 15, 2005 Whoa. That S&W .50 cal monster even eclipses the .454 Casull, which is a genuinely huge weapon. got to fire one once. The cartridges look like they're for an elephant gun. mh ."The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
StreetScooby 5 #12 October 15, 2005 Quote My ears ring all the time... I have tinnitus, also. From shooting large caliber handguns without ear protection (...when I was growing up).
