I would read that to my wife, but she has been awesome lately.

To answer your question, I have noticed it more than once, and once was more than enough.

But hell these days if i even go in the grocery store with my wife I walk down a couple isles real fast, throw the stuff in the cart that i want to get and pick out myself, then I leave the store and wait for her in the car. I cant deal with ignorant people packed into a little box shoulders touching. Philly is the devils toilet no joke. Hell there was a year or so the wife wouldnt even ALLOW me to go into a store, she even bought my clothes and shoes from the store for me. But thats because i almost went to jail for punching a man that told me I shouldnt spank my son. Luckily the cop was awesome and told the other man he was taking me to jail but he let me go outside by the sidewalk. The cop thought it was funny, i was still mad. The a-hole yelled at me in front of my son for correcting him. After I hit the man i told my son see you talk back you get hit. Thats what the cop thought was funny. If he would of took me to the side and talked to me i would of just ignored him, But if i let him get away with yelling at me in front of my boy, my son might actually think I WAS in the wrong for spanking him... I dont play that at all.

to be clear, when i went to the station the next day, and the Chief found out you were let go, solid income for the dept, they fired that officer, and now he's doing hand work for crack on the streets. i also sued and got 5 million dollars. thanks!

yeah.

and now you know. GI JOE!

If you're talking about the next gen consoles coming out this Christmas, then I believe the PS4 has the edge. MS implemented some rather unpopular restrictions...

Here is Sony taking the piss out of the new XBox restrictions.

yeah, both of them suck. don't buy.

sony is allowing student slave labor. it's good sexy times.

course, it's Foxconn making them for Sony, but Sony is implicated.

buy or keep your PS3. esp if you want to keep playing those games. cus there's a lot of non backward compatibility (or so i hear)

spend $500 on a nice knife instead...

 

[Diez Knives]

That's a very cool design. Do yourself a favor and get a long needle from a dissecting kit and wrap tape in the lower area to your liking, it makes scratching designs sooooo much easier. Are you using acid-resistant ink?

I used nail polish and used a fine tip sharpie to layout the area I scratched off with a needle

 

[ac700wildcat]

Got the middle one today. Its a one of a kind. Took quite a while, but I love it.

Now Im so ready to get this recurve bow! man i have been watching videos and reading reviews for days now and it seems the samick sage is an awesome bow for the price. I found a place that accepts paypal now and has the bow. Soon. very soon.

THAT makes the RMD appeal to me a LOT more!! I wonder if they would do one with the drop point and no choil.........hmmmmm.

 

[Murphnuge]

there's 3-4 different ones

Yep, but this one's the only one I'd be interested in.

Nope on the no choil. I have tried I got a NO-GO

Now i want one like this but with black canvas micarta and a coated blade for a user, and cheaper LMAO, this one is a display only knife, as It cost more than some Busse knives, and will always be 1 of a kind.

The busse in the picture is a user now though.

 

[Bladite]

Yep, but this one's the only one I'd be interested in.

oh, is that your declaration that nobody else should bid on it?

 

[ac700wildcat]

Well damn. I'll have to find one to handle before I ever decide to order one. Some choils work for me and some just don't.

 

[bigghoss]

i don't like to rough it. that seems silly when for a little more effort you can ease it.

I look at "roughing it" as more a style than an accurate descriptive term. Though the way I usually do it would be considered rough by many. I'm still not sleeping on dirt with a rock for a pillow by any means.

I've found tents to be more trouble than they're worth and the typical camp trailer/camper/motorhome just defeats the whole purpose for me while still presenting it's own set of challenges and issues. That trailer has it's place for sure and I can see the appeal but cost aside it stills has some of the disadvantages of both a tent and a camp trailer that have lead me to forgo both options. But like I said, I'm single so I only have to worry about me and I'm very comfortable under a tarp.

 

[worldwood]

Well damn. I'll have to find one to handle before I ever decide to order one. Some choils work for me and some just don't.

I agree, some choils ruin a knife, some work great. If it has a choil but its uncomfortable on the hand to choke up on the choil, the entire knife is pointless to me.

 

[Murphnuge]

Hell no, I think everybody should have one!

 

[james terrio]

I love the looks of this thing. I like old timey looking blades:

It's kind of tricky to pull off... some look really silly to me. That's a beautiful example of the style, though. :thumbup: I'm putting together a modded OH just for fun... I may have to consider some leather or rawhide on the handle...

Another thing that annoys me (aside from stores NEVER EVER having enough checkstands open. EVER.) is when I pay for something in cash and the clerk hands (or tires to) me the change-bills and coins- plus the receipt all in one handfull when every single person puts those three things in three different places and now I have to hold up the line sorting out the whole mess.

I hear ya! I rarely use cash anymore, debit card is just easier. When I do pay with real money, I just shove the whole mess in my pocket and sort it out later, otherwise I would really annoy the folks waiting behind me. I'm one of those weird cats who has to have all the bills in my wallet organized biggest-to-smallest and facing the right way...

PS3 is better hardware, but for gaming, I prefer the Xbox, if only because the PS controls are awful. They're still using the same basic design back before the analog sticks became the main movement control, and they're hideously uncomfortable for any extended gameplay.

I like the PS controls, I just wish they were about 10% bigger. I get hand cramps if I use them for more than an hour. Not to worried about it though, I haven't even unpacked my old PS2 and I've been living here almost 18 months now

I resemble that remark.


Foxconn makes much of Apple's product line too.

 

[james terrio]

I resemble that remark.

It makes perfect sense to me... you don't want to accidentally grab a 50 when you go to tip a stripper a buck

So I have this '84 K5 blazer. Totally stock except for 31" tires which are just a little bigger than stock. I'm wondering if a 2" lift would look silly with the tires I have. The tires I have are 1) expensive 2) awesome in winter 3) have a lot of tread left so I don't want to spring for tires just yet.

I think I'm going to use my hi-lift and jack stands to raise the frame of the truck a couple inches on one side but let the suspension droop and see how it looks. I also need to rip out the rest of the carpet.

 

[Zuluninja]

Zulu id love to send you my BK14 and let you do your thing with it you have some serious skills with etching

Anytime, just let me know

Good lord, that is thorough dedication! Let me know if you can't find a dissecting needle, I'll find one for you. I haven't used nail polish, but it seems that it's a bit brittle. Does it flake at the borders?

I don't think it would look bad, I would do it. Then your ready to go to 33's when you wear the current tires out.

Every 2 years when I have to get an emissions test on my Tahoe I have to put on smaller tires because they wont put anything with bigger than 34 inch tires on the dyno.So I take off my 37inch tires I put my factory rims and 31 inch tires on my truck with a 9 inch lift. I get some looks driving that around.

Hey have you heard of ColoradoK5? They have a thread there called how does my truck look with XX size tires, guys post up all different tire sizes so you can see how it would look.

No not at all, just gotta keep an eye on it.. leave it in the etching solution to long it will start to flake. This was only about 6 minutes.

Yeah I've been to CK5 a bunch of times but anymore I hang out on chevyK5blazer.com. I have a 220hp 350/700r4 and 3.08:1 gears in a pair of 10bolts so I'm not sure I want to go up to 33"s. I guess it moves along fine as it is, not sure how much difference the 33's will make. Those would be the max though as I don't want to sink any money into the 10bolts but at the same time if I replace the axles with one-tons I might as well gut the whole truck and if I'm going to swap the whole drivetrain I might as well buy another truck for like $500 that may or may not run and build that. It's a slippery slope for sure.

It probably would look good with just 2" of lift. Jacking it up should take like 10 minuets so I'll still do that just to get a better idea. It's not like I'm going to run out and buy a lift kit today anyway. Maybe next year with my tax return.
