  1. Stupid is when you are to dumb to know you are f#&^ing stupid.

    I was sitting at a red light a few months back when a little dim wit girl ran into the back of me and hit me square on my trailer hitch. All the energy was transfered to my truck and felt like I got hit by an 18 wheeler. I got out and my truck had only a slightly bent down bumper. Her little POS Suziki was leaking fluid everywhere and she said she didn't see me. :surprise:

    I was sitting there at a dead stop for 15-20 seconds, at a RED light!

    Stupid!

    I hopped back in my truck and drove off while her dump a$$ was calling Daddy for some help :rolleyes:

    I neglected to mention I also recently experienced two other close calls, both caused by middle-aged working men. But they were quick to apologize for their mistakes, which is all I expect, so they have nearly faded from my memory. But even though I've mellowed somewhat with age, I still find it difficult to tolerate the obnoxious behavior of those who are clearly guilty of these potentially deadly incidents. But, my wife and I both carry, so we have to just shake our heads in disgust and move on down the road... That is, of course, as long as these nutty drivers content themselves with shooting off only their big dirty mouths.

  2. This morning, I was driving our Le Baron convertible with my wife seated beside me. I stopped at a 4-way in the southbound lane the same time as a late model SUV stopped in the westbound lane. That driver politely signaled for us to pass through the intersection first. But before I crossed the intersection I looked to my right and saw a large, unkempt middle-aged woman with a scroungy teenage boy seated next to her in a run-down '70s clunker slowing but clearly not stopping as they should have behind the crosswalk marker, and they just barely avoided creaming us. And when my wife and I rolled our eyes and shook our heads before proceeding, these morons began cursing us as if we were at fault. I can still see the skinny punk in my rear-view flipping me off as they crossed the intersection behind us.

    I have experienced similar aggravating incidents during my citation-free, 36-year driving history, but these rather tense encounters seem to be occurring more frequently. A few months ago I was driving my Nissan Pathfinder in the westbound lane towards a 4-way signal. I had the green light, and I slowed to turn right into the northbound lane when a middle-aged woman driving an older car in the eastbound lane attempted to turn left into the northbound lane as I just entered into my turn, narrowly avoiding impacting my vehicle. And as I shook my head in disgust while driving on my way, I could see this twit furiously cursing me in my rear-view, when she was clearly at fault.

    The gall of these ignorant drivers never fails to astonish me. Where do they obtain their license to operate a motor vehicle, from a bubblegum machine?

  3. Age is relative. Even with asthma and chronic back problems, I'm healthier now at 52 then when I was in my late thirties. Quality of life is everything. As long as I'm able to function efficiently with all of my faculties intact, I'm going to continue enjoying the time the Good Lord has allotted me to spend in this air breathing body. :)

  4. Absurd beyond belief. If I have to give up my rights, give up my property, comply with utterly ridiculous decisions made by cretins on their own in order to enter an airport and board a plane... well, they have already lost my business. If I can't drive, I won't go

    My sentiments exactly.

    I refuse to subjugate myself to power mongers and control freaks.

  5. Loading 3.4 grs of WST under a Precision 147gr moly bullets. I had a flipped primer so I was going slow and trying to see if anything looked funny. Glanced at the round that just moved to station 3 (550b) and noticed the powder level was higher than it should be, not a double load, it looked to be 1.5 times the right amount of powder. There was a bunch of spider web type crap in the bottom of the case. What would have happened if this had slipped through and been fired.

    I'm guessing nothing since the powder charge was correct and I would assume the web stuff would just vaporize as the powder burned, but I thought I would check.

    I collect a lot of range brass. While sorting cases, it isn't uncommon to see small spiders scurrying from the cases. Since I tumble clean and polish all of the brass I collect before using it, I've never encountered a problem with debris.

    Some shooters use silk or dacron to provide filler material for low charge weights in large cases. Since this filler material obviously disintegrates with the powder when discharged, I'm sure your spider webs will too; along with any spiders stupid enough to hang around. :D

  6. Golf is a favored pastime for retired white collars who loaf on courses to gripe about sundry issues with other old farts while jingling change in the pockets of their stylish golf attire. :rolleyes:

    It's a fact that more business deals are sealed on golf courses than in corporate boardrooms.

    Golf is another excuse for white collars to brag about owning the most expensive clubs and the latest golf paraphernalia.

    Golf is a big money spectator sport, which the politically correct, left-of-center media thrives on, especially when a non-white dominates a traditionally white game.

    Golf is an excuse for white collars to visit the bar at their elitist country clubs to soak-up cocktails when they should be taking care of business at home or the office.

    I hate golf. Golf is boring. The only good thing about golf is golf balls make good targets. Personally, I prefer disintegrating them with a .243 Winchester. :D

  7. My most recent contact with the SSA was with the local office when my elderly mother lost her purse, and she had to obtain a new SS card, along with a medicare card. The clearly disabled employee we encountered was friendly, and made a sincere effort to cut through the red tape to help us.

    The picture of a firearm and a knife with a red line through them on the entrance door made me shake my head. It's really sad when men can be forced to carry a rifle into foreign wars by the Federal government, but are refused their right to bear arms on Federal property in their own country. :rolleyes:

  8. The Doc can do because you are probably ill and need his help more than he needs your business, basically you are bent over the barrel. Sure go home and get sicker or die, not really a good choice and they know it.

    I'm talking routine stuff. Dental appointments and such. Routine for the doc, routine for me. Mutual respect is always nice.

    I concur. Respect is mutual. Many employers and professional people are failing to reciprocate this essential aspect of business relationships these days... Besides, the fact that medical expenses are astronomical is enough to ruin my otherwise charming disposition.

    BTW, I have an appointment with one of those professional figures today to have a molar crowned. He's number three in my search to obtain satisfaction. And he's an arrogant dweeb. But he found out he isn't going to perform some outrageously expensive, and totally unnecessary dental procedure on me, because it isn't my responsibility to fund his luxurious lifestyle preferences.

  9. I've had to have several cats and one dog euthanized, and this responsibility never gets any easier to deal with. In fact, even though I understand I've done the right thing, I still suffer from a feeling of guilt that I betrayed their trust.

  10. I am going to have disagree with you on this one. The worst thing that we can do as good citezens is to stop having kids. If all the good citizens refrain from child bearing they are leaving the future to the offspring of those that are having kids. Obviously not what we want... Being a parent of a kid is not easy (I have 4 with 1 on the way) but I really love my kids, most of the time! :roflol:
    Thanks to the so-called "zero tolerance" policy, it is unacceptable for one to defend themselves in public school.

    I'm glad I decided against becoming a parent to human children in this twisted world. I'll stick to nurturing our five furry kids. At least I don't have to worry about their safety beyond the secure walls of our home.

    Anyone who doesn't think the public school system is in bad shape is part of the problem.

    I didn't criticize you for choosing to procreate. All I said was I'm glad I decided against becoming a parent to human children in this twisted world. I really don't think I'm a bad citizen for refusing to commit myself to a major responsibility such as procreation.

    Besides, the five furry kids my wife and I are nurturing were all abandoned by those who chose to accept the responsibility of caring for these other living creatures of God, but obviously they failed to maintain this responsibility, or their 'pets' wouldn't be in our custody.

  12. Other than my wife, who is my best friend, (Today is our 18th anniversary. :)) I spend most of my time alone, or pampering the five abandoned felines we adopted, which suits me just fine. I do have a handful of acquaintances that I consider borderline friends. They are all pro-gun, btw.

    I try to avoid elitist, materialistic snobs who worship money, arrogant egomaniacs who think they know-it-all, and all those amateur social and political analysts who are only too eager to inflict their mainly unsubstantiated, knee-jerk opinions on me.

  13. This is why I'm still glad I'm an American citizen. I realize an increasing number of American citizens are being lulled into believing our Bill of Rights is only a Bill of Privileges, or is just an antiquated document that should no longer be taken seriously, but there are still many of us who know better, and are willing to take on anyone who even attempts to deny us our inalienable rights.

    I will die before I see my homeland become another socialist, anti-Christian member of the European Union.

    But if some brainwashed dweeb on an Internet forum is promoting anti-American trash, don't waste your time posting there. They don't deserve your honest effort to enlighten them.

  14. If I didn't trim my eyebrows, I'd have to comb them up over my head so I could see.

    But I don't wax them. My trendy niece did this, and her irritated brows swelled up and made her look like a Neanderthal girl. Of course, I didn't laugh at her... Much. :lol:

  15. I like to bicycle for fun, and at times transportation. But I don't wear spandex. And I obey traffic laws.

    I have seen bicyclists illegally hogging county roads, which is hazardous for them, and infuriating for motor vehicle operators.
