Best to get on the brakes, keep the car straight, and hit the bugger. Glad your ok. I've seen the end result of a couple motorcycle-deer collisions. In both cases there were no survivors, human or animal.

I have just found the "Greatest" beer of all time.
willard replied to Andy_Copland's topic in The Bonfire
Rule of thumb is if you can see through it, it's not real beer. Try Old Rasputin Russian Imperial Stout from North Coast Brewing Co. -
Supreme Court to decide on Use of Deadly Force in Police Pursuits
willard replied to lawrocket's topic in Speakers Corner
Kid is speeding. Cop clocks kid speeding. Cop truns on lights and pursues. Simple to this point. Now the kid has a choice. He can obey the law and pull over. Or he can try to elude. Since he chose to attempt to elude he has now broken two laws. The cop used the minimum force needed to aprehend the kid. It was the kids own actions that determined the force needed. The paralysis shouldn't even be considered. The kid chose to ignore common knowledge of the benefits of wearing seat belts. The kid made some mistakes and paid a very high price for those mistakes. But everything that happened was a direct result of his own actions and/or inactions. As far as violating civil rights....I don't see how. The kid forfeited certain rights the instant he decided not to comply with the cops instructions. But then, I'm not schooled in legal issues. -
I WOULD DRINK BEER with a goat on a boat, in a box in my socks, in a jar at a bar. I do, I do, I do like BEER! SLAMMED I AM!

And they make great rugs. Clinton got a blow job.

I'm not up on computer programming, so this may sound like a dumb question. How does crossing an imaginary line affect the computer systems on an aircraft? Would the aircraft's systems use GPS to somehow reset any onboard clocks to local date? Seems the training/test flights did their job in finding the glitch before the aircraft was in an actual combat situation. Only so much can be done in a lab, the rest has to wait for real-world experience. Glad to see everyone made back safely.

It does look that way. It's just a discoloration of the brass. The cartridge is new, never fired.

Repugs take another swipe and unions and workers
willard replied to Lucky...'s topic in Speakers Corner
Usually when a person or group threatens financial or physical harm to another person or group in order to force them to give them money or favors it is refered to as extortion. The unions can get away with it because they are made an exception under federal law. Strikes are just a form of extortion. Some have a minimal effect on the economy, others can have effects that reach far beyond anything directly involving the striking workers. Just try to imagine the impact to not only the local economy, but the nations economy if, say, screeners at all NYC airports went on strike. The economic impact to the nation in one day would far outweigh any benefits those workers could ever recover. As far as Bush being a Nazi.... lets just say that he may be an asshat, a jerk, moron, idiot, etc. But since you obviously have no idea what a Nazi is it doesn't make much sense for you to refer to him as such. -
Ya got the middle one right!

Repugs take another swipe and unions and workers
willard replied to Lucky...'s topic in Speakers Corner
Find me one GS employee, or department that has had their wages lowered...ever. The AFL-CIO is desperate for membership. In the late '50s union members comprised app. 35% of the private workforce. Today that number is at 7% and dropping. Don't worry, if your Nazi i Chief keeps trying tax medical care and the sort, they'll be making a strong resurgence. Are you calling me a Nazi???? -
Could use something for scale in the pic too, huh? Ok, here's a couple clues. The one in the middle is indeed a 30-06, 180 gr. That should give some scale. Second clue is that none are belted cases. You still got 2 out of the 4 you attempted.

Yep, that's just what we need- airport security personel threatening to go on strike over Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Some job sectors are good places for unions, airport security isn't one of them. -

Things that are grounds for revocation of the man card
willard replied to NWFlyer's topic in The Bonfire
There are certain instances in which this is acceptable. For instance, if you own two pairs and she owns one. In this case you actually get an upgraded man card for finding a really cool chick (unless, of course, her shoes are rope sandals and she doesn't shave her pits, then you still lose it). My last SO had three pairs of shoes. I had 1 pair sneakers, 2 pair work boots, 1 pair "going to Sunday Church" shoes, and 2 pair hiking shoes. -
I'd agree that there is bound to be a certain amount of consumption expected in order for Al to spread his message, but there alsao is the expectation that his base of operations sets an example for what they are telling others to do. I'd be willing to bet the thermostats in his house aren't set at 60 in the winter or 70 in the summer. There is a lot he could, and should, do in his own home before telling others what to do in theirs.

The bunny's still in captivity, at an undisclosed FED PEN, but I hear he's appealling his 'conviction' again & writting his memoires in the interm! Since the poor little guy is obviously a political prisoner we should set up a foundation, complete with web site, to help secure his release.

A Concorde once left New York bound for London with a pair of rabbits on board. The plane was so fast that when it arrived in London it still only had two rabbits aboard!

So What Name Do They Put on a Royal's Military Uniform??
willard replied to ACMESkydiver's topic in The Bonfire
Imagine having this on your lapel... "Henry Charles Albert David Mountbatten-Windsor" or "His Royal Highness Prince Henry of Wales" or they could just put "Harry" -
500 year old Islamic art shows modern geometry
willard replied to kallend's topic in Speakers Corner
Hard to tell exactly what dead people knew. Remember that Arabs invented al-gebra, they were pretty damn good mathematicians. Apparently they knew enough to come up with a quasi-periodic tiling (like a Penrose tiling), something that western mathematicians long dismissed. This is a NON-TRIVIAL task. If this is to somehow emphasize that muslims are sophisticated, please note that the material is in the LONG PAST, as in "WERE" above. These days, they're a lot better at making improvised car bombs and decapitating people on television. That's what "Allah" really wants them to do, after all. If any muslim scholar dared to come up with anything like that today, he'd be machine-gunned in front of his students. mh . Really. Last night I went to the National Engineers Week/Washington Awards Dinner, as representative of my university. Bigots would be amazed at how many of our US engineers are Islamic, including many arabs and Iranians. Among the folks at the head table were a Palestinian and an Egyptian. I didn't notice any bigotry among the guests, but they were all well educated professionals. It's a pity that only 9 of our US Congressmen are engineers. (Pssst..Kallend. I think he was referring to scholars in countries ruled by radicals. Just a guess.) -
