  1. Depends on where you live. Snakes, alligators and such. And alligators CAN and do climb fences. They do taste good tho if you can catch one. Bread the nuggets from the tail or backstrap, deep fry and dip in a spicy marinara suce. Yummy That's what the guy in N.O. kept telling me, he also said "tastes just like chicken" Why in the heck would you wrestle with an alligator, when you could just kill a chicken? Do they still eat Nutria in the rural parts of Louisiana? I wouldn't eat one. Used to hunt them tho. Was getting 6 bucks a hide for whatever they do w/ em. LA. swamps were fun a nite.

Gator taste is of it's own. Deliousio. And I just order it online. Fresh killed on dry ice. Expensive tho. I ain't fighting one of those suckers. A little more expensive but SAFE.

  5. I have decided that if some TSA asshole wants to pull handles, I will coach him to look directly at the rig above the spring loaded reserve while he or she pulls silver. ""Watch what happens when you pull this one, idiot" Sorry, can't help myself when it comes to TSA. Ed I heard a story awhile back one TSA worker did just that a got a broken nose. Not sure if it was true or not? I'd loved to have been there. As long as it wasn't MY rig.

  7. Uh, I know most of the first part and know that TIG is tungsten inert gas. I learned how to do that in about a day and it took about another day to become very proficient at it. I learned from my roommate, for whom I designed (from scratch) and help build a hydraulic dumping trailer capable of holding about 3 tons... when I was 19. To top it off according to every standardized test I've taken I'm smarter/more educated/whatever than 99.9% of the country who's graduated high school. I'm also going to a college where my tuition, housing, utilities and travel expenses are fully paid for, and clear well over $10k a year solely from academic merit based scholarships. Am I one of these people your writing appears to hold such contempt for? I'm not trying to brag, I'm honestly curious because I'm the type of person who tends to characterize what academia is perceived as. You say you deserve your pay, which is how much? How much compared to a doctor, lawyer, or a biomechanical engineer? The impression I'm getting is that you feel entitled to a high wage for a comparably simple to learn task. Am I correct? Multi task. Usually a forman. My package is $45 an hr. straight time when I'm on the tools. Forman 15% more. Nite shift 15% more. GF 15% more. Overtime and double time. Won't work DT unless I have a job deadline cause the fucking govt. takes the majority. You like you electricity? Well. I provide it. So you can fuck off too!

  8. Was that a PA on all the asians? You should ban yourself. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  9. OK... Is she hot? Actually the last one I hired was VERY HOT. She moved to Oregon before I had a chance to fuck her tho. She did beat the charges tho. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  10. LOL. You are prolly only 1 of a few people on this site that knows what TIG means. They are all lawyers and doctors and philosophers and such. Any of you people what TIG stands for w/o googling it? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  11. Gee, I hope you didn't bust your nut rolling all about yourself. According to some, the man or woman on the factory floor is crap and not worth more than minimum wage. Hell, you people would be happy to see unions gone and leave it up to the corporation to set the wage. Bill, believes that the worker on the floor would be able to negotiate their wage with management. Would never happen if management had free range on what they would pay. They would pay far under what minimum allows. My wage in the factory was high, as it should be. I made far more than the guy who swept and for good reason. My job was specialized as not many in there could weld aluminum, copper and bronze. With proper training they could. However, not everyone wants to weld. When I worked as a pipe welder I made union scale there also. Not every welder can weld a vertical up and pass the NDT. With proper training they could. Then again, not everyone wants to weld pressure pipe. Those wages allowed me to live fairly nice in a nice area. My money was spent in my community. It filtered into the shops around me. If everyone were making chump change, many of the shops we patronize would not be in existence. Go ahead and use illegals and pay the chump change they are willing to take. That money will quickly leave the area for somewhere south of the border. I much rather pay rate and know that my money stays in the US to support the guy down the road. Not someone south of the border. We need to hookup. I wonder how many people know what the O.D. of a 24" schedule 40 pipe is. Carbon steel. Or the volume of 2' of it. How about the heating temps for 9 Crome pipe before and after it's welded, cooling times etc.. And lay on that 600' pipe while welding w/ leathers on. What's a gamma plug? I know my shit and I deserve my pay. Just like a fuckin lawyer, doctor or whatever.

  12. Does that give the dad legal status. IIRC, born in the USA makes you a citizen, right? So would they actually deport the dad and allow the kid to stay?parentseans From what I understand anymore. NO. And he beat the fuck outta my daughter. If I see him it ain't gonna be pretty. He lucky I'm 3000 miles away and he can go back (and hide) to DURAGO, Mexico I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  13. Prolly gave Mr. Clinton a BJ. No time served. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  14. I'd love to go back to the day. Had a few strapped to me a couple days ago. Mutual respect. Don't fuck w/ me and I won't fuck w/ you. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  15. the law probably concludes that he got what he asked for. You intrude on the personal space (he was well closer than that) of a old man and call him a coward and a liar after being asked to step back, shit happens. You aren't allowed to provoke a fight and then whine when it happens. It would be the funniest 911 call ever. I do believe you are wrong on that point of law. Sticks and stones so to speak. But if you throw the first blow you are the aggressor. I watch Judge Judy. LOL Where's lawrocket when ya need him? I disagree. Aldrin could probably argue that he felt threatened with immediate bodily harm, given the asshat's actions/body language. Actually it's a grey area depending on state. Trust me. I had a fight w/ a neighbor awhile back. Spent a couple hrs. in jail. Fought it myself and charges were dismissed. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

  17. If I were on the jury I'd probably bust out laughing and get disqualified during Voir Dire. Let's see what law rocket says. Me, myself and I would prolly ask for one of these thingyes>Change of venue. Not that I know anything about the law.

  18. Can you hear me now? Six people are crushed to death after watching a public execution ... Shoulda had VONAGE. I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  19. LOL. I am 140 lbs. soaking wet. And I don't eat fast food. I do love my custom cut Ribeye and salad every nite tho> THANKS TO MY UNION I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.

I have to go to my ants houseand put up the winter solstice northern lights.

  22. Damn. Can't figure out how to make it clicky. I hope you NEVER get a TASAR I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  23. You're so full of shit it's not funny. I shop at union grocery stores and pay top dollar for a good piece of meat. The top dollars I make go right back into this country. Done w/ this thread. I'll go back to eating my surf and turf and throw some money at the Sierra Club tomorrow. (which I am a member of and the aclu.

  24. Was it non union at min. wage? I hold it true, whate'er befall; I feel it, when I sorrow most; 'Tis better to have loved and lost Than never to have loved at all.
  25. Complain to your congressmen. That law is designed to keep him from taking a job away from an American expert electron microscopist with a PhD in engineering. Apparently there must be an excess of those around compared to the number needed, otherwise your acquaintance wouldn't have any trouble proving that his skills are both unique and necessary, which would qualify him for permanent status. Oh, he's already proved his qualifications to the govt.'s satisfaction. Just waiting for the wheel to turn. He'll get it! Good things come to those who wait. I give him a lot of credit for going about it the right way. Chuck Advice. Told to me by my uncle many moons ago."Good things come to those who wait."
