    Well, I guess I better stay away from England. Well you'd better stay away from Spain as well then as my son who is fourteen legally shoots as well If I have to explain the joke, it must not have been funny. (Thread title, my username...) Anyhow, I was probably shooting guns before I was ten years old. Certainly by the time I was fourteen. I think that's generally OK as long as kids are shown how to use the gun safely, not given anything too big to handle, and properly supervised until they are reasonably mature. (Assuming we're talking about kids who don't have severe mental or behavioral problems.)

    Sorry to hear about your friend. Not surprised that Mary Wanna would already be taken; it seems like a somewhat obvious name.
  4. Shotgun
    I always thought Mary Wanna would be a cute roller derby name.... but only if you're a stoner, of course. Other than that, TWAZZZUP! (My best effort in incorporating TWAT .)

    I've been using Dr. Bronner's lavender liquid soap - heals the body and the mind. Though I think that I still haven't read the entire message on the bottle.

    I make boysenberry pies and lemon pies with fruit from our backyard. The lemon is definitely my favorite. Unless I'm getting hit in the face with it; then I prefer coconut creme.

    Yes, in general, sober people are more interesting than drunk people. It takes no special skill to open up your mouth and pour booze down it, so if that's your hobby then good on ya, but not impressed. We live in a society that is brainwashed to think that drinking alcohol is cool, so I'm much more impressed by those who buck the trend. It's a stupid dangerous drug, just like all of the illegal drugs that we proudly forego.

    We have a Kodak EasyShare V570 that is a great point-and-shoot camera. I love the wide-angle lens on it, it's small enough to stick in a pocket, and I rarely find the need to change any of the settings on it, so I'd say that it's very easy to use. We've had it for several years now though, so there is probably a different version available now.

    Yep. I spent three days in a hospital, have scars, and have spent 20+ years dealing with chronic pain thanks to someone else's choice to drive in an illegal manner. But so far, I have no injuries from someone else's choice to be here illegally. The only person I've known who was here illegally was not stealing social security numbers or otherwise breaking the law or doing harm to anyone. Well, he was BASE-jumping, and therefore likely trespassing at times, but I know plenty of legal citizens who do that too.

    That is explained in the link that he posted. Here is a quote from the article: I'm wondering what else is included in the "any dangerous weapon" category.

    You don't put beans in chili... do you? I never make chili without beans. (Yeah, I know, I'd get my ass kicked in Terlingua. )

    No reason they can't be together, though. There are a lot of spicy dishes that have stir fried meat and tofu in some sort of heavy sauce. I'm pretty sure it's a hangin' offense to put tofu anywhere near Texas brisket. I usually prefer tofu in vegetarian dishes, but I have had some Thai dishes that had both meat and tofu, and they were OK.
  13. Shotgun
    Hmm.... I've become a mixed up Texan/Californian who likes both brisket and tofu. (Not at the same time though.)

    So you are ok with PolPot in a dress too? Hey man, I'm one of those Austin weirdo hippie freaks. I'm OK with anyone in a dress. Edit: Oh, and the Dead Kennedys version is so much better.

    All of this talk about Pol Pot has left me with "Holiday in Cambodia" stuck in my head (the Richard Cheese version ). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XOBs6-vTYKc

    I consider "covered" to mean having at least a thong over your junk. But that has nothing to do with why I voted "yes." I voted "yes" because, well, it was just more exciting than voting "no."

    In general, the drug laws (including alcohol) in this country seem to be rather inconsistent. Try to sell "oil spill relief" marijuana and you'll get arrested too, which is just as absurd as the beer law.

    Are you suggesting that private citizens should be required to undergo psychiatric evaluation before being allowed to own guns? You didn't answer my question. I'm not exactly an expert on the military, but I do believe that they make some effort to "weed out the loons". But I think it's a little more complicated when it comes to "weeding out the loons" among the civilians who want to own guns. So maybe now you can answer my question?

    Maybe we could just come up with a quick Rorschach test for potential gun buyers. You see fluffy clouds and bunnies? OK, here's your gun. You see Satan and your mother? No gun for you.

    So when someone wants to own a gun, at what point does a doctor or judge get to decide if that person is a "loonie"? And at what point is someone too much of a "loonie" to own a gun? (Sex addict? Bipolar? Anxiety Disorder? Homicidal Maniac?) Someone who is unstable enough that it's impossible to tell whether he is about to turn into one of those or not at any moment. So, anyone who posts in the Bonfire shouldn't be allowed to own a gun, since they all seem to be possible sex addicts? And nowadays, basically anyone who sets foot in a psychiatrist's office is labeled "bipolar," so I suppose that seeking psychiatric help should automatically prevent someone from owning a gun? (As if people need further discouragement from seeking help when they may need it.)

    Laura Bush only had one staffer? Really?

    It seems to have something to do with the Google Ads (Oh, I just freakin' love Google.... not.) Instead of clicking the back button, click on the little down-arrow to the right of the back button (depending on which browser you're using), and select where you want to go back to (skip over the Google Ad crap). Don't get me wrong - I don't mind seeing advertising on "free" websites since it helps keep the site available, but when it interferes with the functionality or becomes intrusive....

    Normally, I would. But since I just got my computer back after a few days of downtime from some nasty spyware stuff, I'm not feeling like visiting a bunch of random websites at the moment. God's Word and his grace are sufficient to lead. You remind me somewhat of myself...may I suggest reading His word "somewhere in the middle of the desert..." it worked for me!
