  2. and speaking of Ghandi, this too is from the Raelians site: mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  3. Sooooo Coooool! Sounds like fun! Anybody up for a road trip? They got a lot of space (hehe, I said space). We could hire an otter to visit the embassy and we could put up loads while we wait and wish for them intensely. Kinda sounds like burning man. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  4. I am so excited. I wonder if we'll have a secret handshake... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

  7. You sir, are wrong. The militia was then and still is every able-bodied man--"composed of the body of the people." Military regulation? So, like the Continental Marines came to everybody's house to make sure they were in accordance of standing regulations? Sorry. If you are making stuff up to suit your argument, please stop. If your reference material was Michael Bellesiles' book Arming America, please find another reference, because Bellesiles has been found to have been intentionally deceptive in his rewrite of American History. On a lighter note: Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming obscenities. In your hand is a Glock .40 and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do? Liberal Answer: Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is inspiring him to attack? Could we run away? What does my wife think? What about the kids? Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of his hand? What does the law say about this situation? Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me? Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound me? If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while he was stabbing me? This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a few days to try to come to a conclusion. Conservative Answer: BANG! Texan's Answer: BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click... (sounds of magazine being ejected and fresh magazine installed) Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids think?" Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw it too..." BANG! BANG! BANG!

  8. andyman's friend was killed at Columbine? mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  9. Ya'll better not be slamming the 1911. It is by far a better, more reliable pistol than anything on the market today (IMHO). I used to be all into the USP .40 compact for it's da/sa operation. I learned to hate it once I built my first 1911. After seeing and feeling true accuracy and reliability in a safe, single action autoloader, I won't go back to any plastic gun, period (well, except for that FNH five-seven pistol I shot last week--mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm--if I could only get one of those...). My 1911 in .38 super will outshoot me and I like that, plus, the .38 super has better ballistics, flatter trajectory and more energy than a .45, all with less recoil. Anyway, back to the 14-year old terrorists. Let's ban ritalin. That will solve everything. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  10. Speaking of ADs, ask Col. Cooper about his most recent one the next time you see him. Ugh. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  11. That graph shows distance covered horizontally as well as vertically for a given time. I am not sure of the exact numbers, but from nearly 14k, I can get more than 60 seconds of freefall time and still dump at 6k. I understand there is theoretically a point of diminishing return, but I would bet in unaided tracking, it's negligible. This could make for an excellent practical experement: Two jumpers exit an aircraft side-by-side and commence on two different flight angles. At 5k, each dumps. Who went farther? Would be interesting to see. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  12. ...even though they are operationally completely different. Operationally compared to the United States' current issue assault weapon, the M16, the AR-15 has a different bolt, a different safety selector switch, a different disconnector, no full-auto disconnector, no sear, a different trigger and a different hammer. (edit: nor the burst components of the current M16A2) A "post-ban" AR also has no flash hider (a moot point due to the fact that most smokeless powders create little or no visible flash at the muzzle). Nor does it have a bayonet lug (ummmmmm, still not sure how many people have fixed bayonets lately). Its purely an apples and oranges analogy. One adopted by the VPC and the Bradys, fueled by the media and easily digested by anti-gun politicians and a frightened public. Quite simply, my AR has more in common with the Browning BAR Safari Rifle than it does with the M16, discounting appearance. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  13. Huh? A photocopy is a photocopy. If you call it a xerox, it does apply as a common generalization. A semi auto is not an assault rifle. The logic of the xerox does not apply. The logic of calling a stock mustang a fuel-injected funny car better applies. Or, calling an Otter a bomber, may apply better than the generalization of calling a spade a spade. See, they may be cards in the same deck, but they are of different suits all together. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  14. Mid 70s in a slick bev's suit with booties and upper 70s with a long-sleeve t and MX pants. I didn't know what that shudder thing was when I was really working on tracking. I realized it was actually stalling my body. So, I just kept modifying the position to get even slower before that stall started. Pretty freaking cool shit. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  15. ooops, sorry. I meant Guncite.com (billvon's earlier reference material). Gunsite is, in fact, a tactical training center in Arizona created 24 years ago from the mind of Jeff Cooper. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  16. btw bill, you omitted something from Gunsite's (whoever Gunsite actually is, I don't know) site. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  17. This is one of my favorite Hollywoodisms: A guy who get shot in the upper left chest and shoulder area lives to fight on in the movies. Sorry. That's wrong 90% of the time. That area is loaded with arteries, veins and part of the left lung. The shock wave of a .32 is plenty to turn the internals of this area into hamburger, therefore ceasing life within minutes. Ahhh, the harsh realities of the real world... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  18. Still, it's a misnomer. Just because some politicians decided to use a buzzword to classify a certain type of firearm, which is a semi-auto rifle one minute, but becomes an assault rifle if you add a bayonet lug. Assault weapons differ materially, but not generally in appearance. Assault weapons have a trigger system which allows more than one cartridge to be fired with a single trigger pull. Assault weapons have been for decades and will always be fully-automatic or selective-fire, shoulder-fired, military small-arms utilizing a small rifle cartridge. Guncite did not create the phrase, they are subscribing to the current misuse of it. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  19. I really want to clear something up. The firearms used in the terrorist act at Columbine, obtained illegally in a straw purchase, were not "assault weapons." Assault weapons are by definition military automatic, shoulder-fired small arms chambered in a small rifle caliber, which trace their roots to the pre-WWII era. They are NOT semi-automatic firearms! Semi-autos are just that--semi-autos. Some semi-autos just look like assault weapons, but, they are not assault weapons. The Tec-DC9 used by Dylan Klebold at Columbine was a semi-automatic pistol, which fires a 9x19mm cartridge (designed originally for the Luger semi-auto pistol) and reloads at the same rate as any other semi-automatic pistol. The only thing different on this pistol is magazine location (forward of the trigger guard instead of in the grip) and a *very very scary* appearance. OOooh it's black! Sorry, still not an assault weapon. The Hi-Point Carbine is a rifle, which also fires the 9x19 caliber round, utilizing a 10-round (currently the maximum legal capacity) pistol magazine. It does have a pistol grip, but, it's still not an "assault weapon." It is a semi-automatic rifle designed to fire a pistol cartridge. The shotguns used were a Stevens double-barrel and a Savage 12-gauge pump, both of which were sawed off, violating current NFA regulations, and therefore illegal. Applying the same logic of calling the semi-auto firearms assault weapons, we could also call the four knives carried by the two "assault knives." We could also call the 48 CO2 bombs, 27 pipe bombs, 11 1.5gal. propane bombs, 2 20lb. propane bombs and 7 gas/napalm bombs "assault bombs." Further, we could also classify the "Natural Selection" and "Wrath" t-shirts the two were wearing as "assault t-shirts." Fingerless gloves would also need to be called "assault gloves." Please understand the logic and call things what they are. Don't use the buzz words just because they sound cool and emphasize some far-off point. Peace, mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

    Air America

    Ummm, Florida kinda spoiled me. My blood is thin. I might jump the 30-degree temps, but might just do what I did Saturday night: Pick up a truckload of pallets along the way so I can be warm when I *talk* about skydiving with my friends. good times. hehee We'll see...the lotus needs to devour some air... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.

    Air America

    I flew back from Somalia in the back of a C-5. God, that was a huge plane. You could play football in the cargo bay, if it weren't for all the rollers. Flying with your back to the direction of flight was pretty odd, but it was a lot more comfortable than that cramped 747 on the way over. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  22. Another vote for UnderArmor. Be advised, there are different styles and types of material. I chose coldgear. I feel deeead saaaaxy in them. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  23. Here, Here!! In the immortal words of the legendary and wise Keanu, "You need a license to buy a gun...you need a license to drive a car...hell, you even need a license to catch a fish. But they'll let any asshole be a father." mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  24. Sterilize all three. None of them should have the ability to breed. They are all too dumb. Shit like this makes me sick. Every one of them should have known better. You might not want to accept this, but a third of the responsibility rests squarely on that girl's shoulders. She should have said "I have to go home" right off the freaking bat rather than go into a room with two boys, get naked and all felt up. Adding insult to injury, she does both of them. There's better ways to get attention. This is another reason to love your children more and raise them better. mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
  25. Hmmm. Just trying to put a face to the name. The video was too funny. I didn't know the Honda Odessey was so roomy you could fit 12 people without clown suits in it. If there was any irish dancing, I can not confirm it, as I was either on the cell phone (hehehee) or on a mission to find the wandering Joe "On the Motherf*cking," "Ob1" Dooty at the time. Still wondering about those chickens... mike Girls only want boyfriends who have great skills--You know, like nunchuk skills, bow-hunting skills, computer-hacking skills.
