Ironically, in sunny California, we just had a 3. something earthquake.

Well, snow's not looking too bad right around now.

just a thought.

ROBO FIVE-O! It's my idea for a parody of reality shows and professional drama shows, featuring an overweight past his prime android police officer (don't ask how it got fat despite being a machine). It'll be like a cross between Cops, reality shows like Hogan Knows Best and Jersey Shore, and any police drama you can think of.

Roger Xiao Pierre Soujiro Mario Nguyet Dominique Finnegan Sanchez was made for being a cop, literally. Given an unnecessarily long name to fit with almost any ethnicity he encounters, he tends to make ethnic relations a breeze, given he was programmed to speak every language spoken in New York state.

Only problem is, he's 7 foot tall, bullet proof, and knows it.

in the words of John-Jacob Jingleheimer Schmidt: Roger? He's fucking insane. he once charged into a bank full of gunmen armed with fully automatic weapons and single handedly neutralized them all. he also spent 3 days in the repair shop having bullet fragments removed from his soft spots. the cost? $5,000. crazy son of a bitch....

Think about how much free time you'll have to chase your dreams, what with the meaningless piece of paper you'll now own!

Hey actually it does have meaning. It means that if I work for another four years doing engineering stuff, I can get a different piece of paper that really really means something!

Didn't they tell you that first peice of paper meant something when you first signed up for it?

I really do feel formal education is dead. With all information availabe to everyone all the time via the intartubes, someone who's never spent a day in college can know MORE than someone with a 100K$ degree.

Still, If I needed surgery I'd prefer a doctor with more than google at their disposal.

Just recently a few people were certified as surgeons who had only ever done simulated surgeries on Google SketchUp.

i think the word "sketch" pretty much sums it up

ok so i got a Q. which would be funnier?

A. dorm manager announces a roommate, dorm renter objects. roommate busts in with a big "HELLO!" dorm renter highly objects, but does not get his way.

B. New roommate busts in with a big "HELLO ROOMMATE!" scaring the everliving hell out of the dorm renter, who highly objects.

C. dorm renter comes home, door to extra room is open. dorm renter peeks inside and gets blasted by a big "HELLO ROOMMATE!" scaring the everliving hell out of him, and of course, he highly objects.

Also, how funny would it be if a general gave a rally speech that quickly gets diverted to a rant about his family?

just imagine some general in shiny armor lead hundreds of soldiers into battle with a speech like this.

"My momma told me I had better make a good showing today, bless her soul, she's such a hard worker. Works every day, milking the cattle, herding the sheep, reaping the wheat. If my soldiers were strong like her, i'd never even have to issue orders. they would charge in and destroy ever last enemy on the field and probably never even get so much as a nick on their armor. Unlike my father who runs the local store, the slacker. sits on his stool every day tending to customers, while momma is out in the field doing all the real work. works the field once a week on the day the store is closed, momma runs circles around him. she loves him anyway, and that's a good thing! So let's all be strong like my momma and destroy these curs who stand before us!"

Soldier1: ".... uhh... YEAH! FOR MOMMA"
entire army roaring: "YEAH! FOR MOMMA... Momma?"

enemy army: "For momma? what?"

I have a coworker who constantly bragged about how good he was at playing games and kept bragging every time he beat a game. problem is, he plays easy games.

so i bought him this ridiculously hard (and i do mean RIDICULOUSLY hard) game.

and of course, I told him, "Until you beat this game, you are forbidden to brag about how good you are at games, and no, you're not allowed to admit defeat"

that should fix him for... months. hell, I can't even beat the last level.

I almost bought a pistol today. ALMOST.

I was at the same pawn shop that I bought my Mossberg, and while I was perusing their gun cases, this guy comes in to pawn some jewelry. The lady turns him down because -- for whatever reason -- they can't sell jewelry. They can turn around and sell guns all the time, she says, but they can't get rid of what jewelry they have in stock.

So he leaves, and comes back in a few minutes later and says "Speaking of guns" and pulls a little velvet bag out of his pocket (like the kind you get Crown Royal in), and produces a little 2 shot Derringer pistol. She gets out the big book of guns to apraise it, and she says the most she could offer the guy was $20. TWENTY BUCKS, which is about half of what the gun was worth in the book. He turned her down, and was leaving the store when I thought "I'll offer the guy about $40 for it" and I'll be DAMNED if I didn't leave my wallet in the car, and he was out the door and gone before I realized it.

God help us if I had bought it, though. You know, handguns turning people into raving lunatics and whatnot. I might just SNAP and go take out a pidgeon... if I was lucky. ;-D

reminds of me the time i bought a .22 rifle and put a scope on it. I was filled with this overwhelming bloodlust and desire for destruction that I simply could not help myself. I put the scope on it, zeroed it in. And then it happened. the next morning I walk out and see my neighbor on his porch. I took aim with my rifle, put the crosshairs on the head and pulled the trigger.

the squirrel I was aiming at fell right out of the tree. over the course of a week I managed to bag about 13 squirrels and I cooked em up into gravy for my biscuits.

Squirrel is really not that bad if you cook it right.

I went into that pawn shop to see about a pistol for myself (tax refund check, yay!) and I heard a rumor they had a High-Point .40 semi-auto for sale for about $170, and it was still there. I talked to my dad about it, and he has advised me against it because high-points tend to be junk-grade guns. So now I'm rethinking it a bit. They had a .32 revolver in there for a little bit less, but I really want a semi-auto, preferably NOT a damn .22.

A buddy of mine at work keeps trying to sell me his .357 Desert Eagle, but he pretty much wants my whole paycheck and then some for it. If only I was born wealthy and not good looking. :-\

;;;;
Where I come from...a 'buddy' is someone who's a best friend & then some...he's the kind of guy who'd go out on the town & get 2 blow jobs, come home & give you one...needless to say I have no buddies !

But I degress
What I wanted to mention is I once owned a 357 & I also had a 45.
Cartridges were fucking EXPENSIVE compared to other ammo. This was more than 15 years ago...something tells me they haven't gotten cheaper.
Especially if you're planning on burning up rounds.
A friend of mine just last summer decided to get into handguns (yes even here in Canada, you jump through enough hoops & you can legally own them)

He did a bunch of research & decided on a 9mm semiauto (you can't have fully auto in Canada)
The reason he went with that gun was 9mm rounds are some of the most common cartridges made. So ammo is cheap.

Think about how often you plan on blasting happily away, & check out the best deals you can get on ammo, 22's are about the cheapest rounds out there.
My friend said at least here in Canada 9 mils are next.

Dear bacon:

It's been a long journey together, and I want you to know that I really did love you.

However, duck fat fulfills me in ways you simply can't.

It's not you; it's me.

Proteas, don't buy a gun you feel like you've "settled" on. When you do decide to purchase, make sure it's one that fulfills each and every aspect you wish it to.

I own two .22 pistols, but I've kept my eyes peeled for the Python .357mag or compact S&W .38 revolver should they and I ever cross paths.

Are you comfortable buying used? A well-maintained pistol is every bit as good as a fresh-outta-the-package firearm. Try to avoid the damn pawn shop if you can :)

Good luck and happy easter everyone. Hope y'all had an enjoyable day.

Well, that's kind of the problme I've run into now that I've re-evaluated my finances; what I want versus what I can afford. Right now I can't afford to spend much more than the aformentioned $170 on a pistol, and everything I've found in that price range is pretty much junk-grade. So what I think I'll do is hold off on buying anything for the time being and just save my money until I can afford what I want.

Although, it might be a while if I save up for what I REALLY want.

A .44? Come on, if you're going to go big, get something with a slightly nicer quality.

I posted a very early concept of what Madoshi would look like. except I need to do another one to reflect what I think he should look like now. only real notable difference would be far smaller ears and slightly different eyes.

The Raging Judge can fire the .410 shotshell, the .45 long colt, and the .454 Casull, the last of which hits the target with around 1900 foot-pounds of force, about 3 times what a .357 can do. It's an anti-bear round, basically, and you can load up with about 6 of 'em in that gun.

at a price of about $1.16 a round.

ugh im a freaking idiot. i totally forgot to put a link up for the silent lurker who might actually be curious.

No doubt, but if you're going to be pounding out rounds, take the time for quality. Not Taurus is bad (personally, I prefer the PT92 to Beretta) it's just that I've found Colt's revolvers to be of a slightly better quality.

I've fired the judge, and it's about as formible a firearm you can fit into your palms. I dig the revolvers for their inability to jam, but yeah... Colt puts out the cleanest, crispest guns if money isn't an issue. Unfortunately it usually is :(

We had our first softball game tonight, won 23-7 in five innings. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS NIGHT. Playing in this league has been great the last few years, great teams, great atmosphere, great families. Entering the team costs a little bit of money, but the umps and groundskeepers shouldn't have to work for free.

Anyone else do any social leagues, bowling, pool, poker? Of all the ones I've sallied forth, poker and ball seem to be the best all-around... though poker more for the beer buzz. Hurray Beer.

I'm just dickin' around, though. A "dream gun" as it were. A revolver like that would be too expensive for me to fire, so it would probably just sit behind glass in a little shadow box marked "in case of Zombie Apocalypse, break glass" with a bottle of hair-gel, a pair of wayfarer sunglasses, and a red tank top.

let's see who gets the reference.

If I buy anything, it will probably be something like a Ruger or a Glock .40 S&W. I wouldn't be apposed to a .22 if it was chambered for the .22 Magnum, like this. That way I have a .22 with a little more power behind it.

Not really, my work schedule is so random it's hard to plan anything. Although I do like to play pool when I get the chance, but my skills are on par with someone who has had several beers.

I need to get a normal job. With normal hours. :-\

I'm pretty competitive in the local music scene, which has a lot of similarities with team sports.

Groups of guys who practice together throughout the week, bringing all their friends together in one place to compete with other groups, that sort of thing.

We get to drink free and occasionally make decent money, though >;}
