  1. What the hell kind of lawyer are you? Fire their ass! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  2. I guess you would have ratherd we lynch them instead of protect them? Cause people would have right after 9/11 if they were able to get a hold of them. The only people that wanted to lynch the Bin Laden family was the FBI.... "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  3. Some people, who usually have very mean and very aggressive pitt bulls who are breed to fight to the death, see my Boxers and instantly want to fight them. My Boxers are big and many people mistake them for a pitt.......Well, on more than one occasion I have had to state very specifically-I will kill you dog if it attacks mine-to these owners and often this does not go well with them! But, I have decided that the best was to do it is to knife the other dog and not use a gun. It seems to be the most lawful. Dealing with the dead dogs owner who is probably a evac from New Orleans is another story! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  4. Man, I love fried Rattlesnake!!!!!!!!! With Ranch dressing!!!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  5. It's recommended that food be suspended in a bag from a tree limb by a rope, about 100 yards downwind from your camp site. That way if the bear does manage to get your food, he won't find you along with it. I have done this a number of times, but this year I bought, along with all my cool new gear, a bear vault. The guy at REI said they filled the vault with food, covered it with honey and gave it to the bears! It took a few hours for the bears to give up trying to open it! I would get a real kick if I saw two bears playing "ball" with my food vault! Maybe I could get a good pic and sell it to REI!
  6. Stop trying to hijack the thread! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  7. A person would be a fool to enter the back country without a firearm. Bear bells, pepper spray and blowing a whistle every now and then will simply not protect you. And a person should know what to do when confronted with a bear or big cat. I would be more afraid of a cat than a bear-unless it was a grizzly. From what I understand, if you shoot a grizzly, no matter the reason, it's a 10K fine at the very least. While in Glacier in 2000, the big story was about a local who shot a grizzly in his back yard because it was trying to get into his house-that guy got jail time too I think. And last year a friend of mine who's brother works on a ranch in NM shot and killed a bear that had false charged him twice. He was worried the "authorities" would find out resulting in a 500$ for killing a bear out of season. But, by far, more people die every year of exposer in the back country than of animal attacks. I have had one bear sighting on a trail and it was in the La Sal mountains that overlook Moab. We were hiking a trial up to an alpine lake. We walked over a small embankment, and there the bear was. It was about 40ft from us and I don't think it ever even saw us as we backed tracked! That bear was a really amazing sight! Another time I was paddling the Green River through Canyonlands and came across a German group whose campsite was surrounded by mountain lion tracks that were very big and very fresh! These German people had no idea a cat was watching them! Never did get to see the cat. I am leaving for the Gila Wilderness for 6-10 days of backpacking the first two weeks of May and hope very much to see bears and mountain lions-from a safe distance of course! If I can get one good picture, I will be very happy! Of course, I will be armed with pepper spray and a .45 if Smokey and Sylvester want to play too rough! But still no guarantees!
  8. No. I say no because my imagination is creative enough for me to visualize what happened on that flight without the help of Hollywood. "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  9. Carvin bass amps kick ass! But I went with SVT 350 classic......next time Carvin! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  10. Fellow bass player friend took the Fender factory tour in Mexico a few years ago and thought it grand............If I played guitar, it would be Taylor for sure.
  11. yes.......and he has/had a collection of hundreds of beautiful guitars. There is a book with pics of the best ones.
  12. 4 posts in 5 years!!!!! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  13. Walt, this should read: Does anyone do a stall turn 100 feet off the ground like me? "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  14. You're just the innocent recipient of the absurd response to more absurdity. Don't worry. Only those showing their official "conspiracy nutjob" passes will be able to view the explosion. I'm going for candy shooting out of my head... like a pinata... you know, just to make it culturally correct. "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  15. You actually saw this, or did you indirectly read this from some partisan source of questionable accuracy? I saw and heard this during the 60th anniversary special over the weekend last August. I've done papers on WWII and never before read this. It does seem plausable - probably true. I would like to do more research on this. Of the 30 or so books I have read about WWII, I do not recall ever reading this either. But I do remember reading how it was an attractive city early in the planning stages for it's industry and geographic location.

  16. QuoteYou and the Discovery channel should brush up on your facts a bit. We did not have the capability to drop an atomic bomb for the entire duration of the war. Your assertion that it was unnecessary to drop the bomb is ludicrous. The US slowly but surely captured island after island in the south pacific with extremely heavy losses. The estimated losses for invading the main islands of Japan were staggering. The atomic bomb offered an alternative solution - one that worked. I have often considered if The Bomb was truly the only alternative to invasion. It was certainly the biggest bang for the buck!

  17. This seems to be an overly ambitions reaction to my knowledge of a historic observation, but who am I to question your motivations! May we video your exploding head? "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  18. but I'm sure it wasn't just a happy US government saying "haha, watch this!" when they decided to use them. Very few people knew all the details concerning the Manhattan Project and very few people truly understood the short term and long term ramifications of the development and use of atomic bombs during WWII(Robert Oppenheimer and a few select scientist had the foresight to see how nuclear weapons would affect the future). Truman was not even fully aware of the MP when he took office after FDR passed and it was a fairly passive decision to use the bombs on Japan. David McCullough has written an excellent biography about Truman and the MP is well documented.
  19. She is really about average. She has taken the time and effort to "learn" that look and make the most out of her natural features.
  20. I would have to say Beethoven over Mozart......Dali over Picasso.
  21. Yea I did notice his hair was out of control Saturday in the high winds! "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  22. tell me you love me "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  23. Doesn't exactly match what she said in the videos that were released while she was being held captive. I could swear she said more than once things to the effect of "just give them what they want or they'll kill me." Yea, I thought that odd as well.......I actually think she is CIA.

  24. bottom line is our government has been hijacked by big business. A small group of people are making big money of the American people. "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
  25. Can we see a pic of the Bat Cave? "Some call it heavenly in it's brilliance, others mean and rueful of the western dream"
