Howdy Vergible,
Good luck with the neck. I broke my C-4 in '89. Wasn't supposed to play rugby anymore. Took it up again a few years later & really bunged the neck up again in '98. No fun. Take care of yourself. Necks are important. It's the part where you keep your head.
Good to see you back.
cheers,
Mike

Hi! It's me again!
First things/people first...
Ken, thanks for lying and saying it's good to see me back now that you went after my job at Community.
All I gotta say is that you better not be getting paid more than me!!!!
Dylan, thanks for reminding me to tell everyone to ignore my daughter's ass. It really seemed to have worked, didn't it.
Don't worry.... I don't get mad if people look.... hell, after all the girls-to-women I raised, I managed to get some self control when guys look.
It's just when they say stuff to my daughters that I tend to go a tad mad.
HEY KAMIKAZIMOJO!!!!!
Long time, no whine to!
I been feelin' better, mental-wise, so that's good..... but ya still oughta worry I think.
I added a poem to that page I originally posted.
I wrote it, then forgot I wrote it and ead it and decided that the author needed to be placed in restraints.
It's ok though, I have handcuffs.
Talk to ya pretty damn soon.
Me
Hiya Hawaaiin.... dagnabbit, those new states are so hard to spell.... no offense Man!
Actually, I need to stay away from the shows for a bit until I get my funds back in balance... that should only take a few decades or so.
Thanks for the tip on the AZ show though.... might just go there to get into more trouble anyhow, I dunno.
VW, speaking of asses....
LMAO
How can I get PO'ed when you're so damned creative with your tauntings?
Oh, and she's adopted, so that's how come she's good looking..... I'll skip posting the pic of my biological daughter cuz she's another looker and this whole thing would start all over again.
Still wondering how the sun shone there when she was aiming west at around sunset.....
Hmmmmmmmm
Althaur, ya shoulda wandered over and said HIYA! I'm used to people coming up to me and asking if I'm an undead rodent. It makes me feel imprtant, plus it really freaks out my daughter!
As for Pahrump, Man, I wouldn't trade it for anyplace nearby!
Las Vegas is too crowded and California is too Communistical. Out here we just pretty much do what we want.
Alan,
Yep, she's got all kindsa strengths alright! She's physically fit (i.e. can kick butt when necessary) and has street smarts (a true rarity) I wrestle with her just so she's used to fighting back if she has to (not every minute, but enough that she fights back instinctively) and man, she's TOUGH!!
Perhaps it's due to her being like half Cherokee or something, I dunno.
She's piddling around he idea of joining the Marines in fact.
At that time, I'll just be totally scared and hide in the hills.
Rock, didn't look like ya were talkin' to me, but since I try and address everyone, so with that in mind, Happy Hannukkah...???
HIYA TOM!!!
Yeah, neck's not as bad as I thought in one way, but worse in another.
Turns out that I DON'T have a heriated disc.... I just have 4 bulged ones instead.... that and some part of my spinal collumn that has holes in it that lets the spinal cord pass through's a bit tight in spots...
Plus the other stuff I got wrong with me...
All in all, I'm doing just fine! And it was great seein' ya! Glad I got yer pic finally too!!!
Calyth, thanks for the kind words, but as you can see from what I told Tom, well.....
At least I ain't pregnant.
Hope your dad gets better though!
Thanks man.
Rugger, howdy!!
Well, mine ain't broke, so I'm sorry for what you went through... if memory serves, you're still pretty young, so I sure hope that don't come back to haunt you in later years.
Also, avoid bungee jumping without the bungee cord.
(Hey, I used to be an EMT so sometimes I have an irresistable urge to give medical advice)
As for where we keep our heads.... you keep yours where it works for you, and I'll keep mine where it works for ME!
Personally, I like the freezer. The cops never look there.....
Oh wait... we're not talking about drifters, are we....?
Gotta go, see ya, bye!

Best wishes to you and your family!

VG, Haven't seen you post in a while! Anyways, you've got a bootyful daughter. I want to assk you and quickie question though, in Nevada what if someone rear-ends your car and you've got all that junk in the trunk going shooting or coming back from a knife show??
Just kidding, don't bleed me dry, undead rodents make me very uneasy.
Anyway, hope your neck heals up quick. Did the docs give you anything for the pain? Usually the best pain meds I've ever had were the big 800mg pills of Ibuprofen.
rockrewls, You have THE FUNNIEST response in this thread...WOW. Happy Kwanzaa. See, no negativity.

Hopefully some anti-inflammatories will bring the swelling bit down & your spine will stop making you want to kill people. That's a particularly 'hurty' type of pain.
BTW, I ain't so young anymore- crossed the 40 mark a while back.
I just sleep upside down.
Glad yer up & about.
cheers,
m.

Good hello. It is I.
Jamgus, I STILL have no clue what you're referring to about the wind thing.
It's a day later, so I thought if I can't get it by now, something's wrong.
Wanna clarify? I'm all curious now.
Emanuel, thanks for the good wishes... we need 'em. My grandmother-in-law just passed away today. Me, I'm ok, but my wife's hurtin'.
Been a lousy year... but the best wishes help, they really do. Thanks.
Also, glad ya like that little plinker.
You have no idea how nervous I was putting that on my display case.
I thought the payoff would be worth it, but I really wasn't sure if the glass would hold or not.
Thank Doug, it did.
(If anyone's wondering what me and Emanuel's talking about, it's:
(I added that to the Vegas Show page last night... also added it to "MY ROOM" page as well. I think it's funny and scary and tittilating.
Don't you?
Hiya Don Rac!
To answer your question, if someone rear ends me with all those weapons and my trunk pops open, I don't worry about it.
Law Enforcement here in NV is very cool about weapons owned by law abiding citizens.
I've been pulled over while armed and most of the time the officer reacted with about as much excitement as if I'd advised him that I had eaten a grilled cheese sandwhich for lunch once.
Seriously, I can keep all kinds of knives (not balis, ballistics or autos though), shotguns and rifles witout rounds in chambers and fully loaded pistols in my vehicle and I am not beaking any laws of NV.
I didn't stop at the CA border when I moved out here by ACCIDENT, ya know.
Oh yeah... the amazingest thing, to me at least, is that I can keep my full auto Uzi, loaded in my vehicle, having it ready to fire and I'm legal there, too.
Nevada considers longarms to be loaded when a round is in the chamber.
The Uzi fires from an open bolt, so ya can't keep a round in the chamber. Theorhetically, that Uzi is NEVER loaded according to Nevada law. That makes me giggle!
Amazing, eh?
As for my meds.... I'm seeing a pain management doc. I get something just a tad stronger then ibuprophen... stronger than methadone too, come to think of it!
I smell colors, but otherwise there's no side effects.
Hey Tom!
I like that application!!!
I might just have to copy that and put it at my site one of these days.
LMAO
Emanuel, since we are Jewish, the tats are no-nos.
Instead, we must call them "birthmarks" instead.
The real trick is getting your parents and grandmother to believe it.
And sure, go ahead and answer the application.... why not?
Rugger, just passing 40 makes ya still pretty young.
(Don't argue, I'm 43 so this statement makes me feel better too, ok?)
Anti-inflamatories do nada for me. I get pain meds that work, plus I have a tolerance, so while the doses I take would kill small to gigantic elephants, they just act like aspirin to me. I don't even get a buzz... not that I'm looking for one, just saying that to show how tolerant I am.
AND I WILL NOT TOLERATE INTOLERANCE!
Sorry about that, but that's one of the most brilliant statements I ever heard. I think it was from South Park.
Off to wander about the forrest, singing minstrels at knights in shining kevlar,
I remain,
VG, handsmome VG at that!
No, really, I'm all handsome and stuff.
(Come to think of it, maybe those meds DO have other side effects....like making me hallucinate)

Don Rac... I wasn't sure what you meant about the Uzi wit the bayonet. Ya COULDA been joking, as if such a thing was so ridiculous it couldn't exist.... like a .25 acp belt fed machine gun or something,,,,
But in case ya were thinikin' that way, the Uzi DOES take a bayonet.
looky!
That's the full auto verion I'm fondling but even if ya got a pre-ban seni-aito, the bayonet still works if ya use their dummy barrel,or if you're horribly evil, went and ordered a 10" barrel, but that'd be a short rifle and a felony.
Don't ask me. I on't make the rules; I just make fun of 'em.
L)
Howdy Knife Knerd! If you're happy looking at the tripe I offer to the net people, them *I* am happy! Thanks for the well wishes too, Bud, I appeciarte 'em. Although there may be some around here that would g insane at having me at full strength. I'm kinda like Ecerclear... that booze that's 190 proof.... but I'm more flammablle,
And on that note, I shall take my leave and make like a tree and branch.
Off to be woodish,

You do remember telling me it was ok to date your daughter.. right? VG,
Small world! I saw the pics of your daughter and thought "I know her!" I taught Shawna about two years ago (summer school science class, at PVHS). I can honestly say your daughter is one of most well adjusted, curteous, respectful students I've taught. She even gave me a thank-you card for teaching her. I still have the card. I have taught enough to know when a child has her act together, the parents had *SOMETHING* to do with it! How are her stomach problems? Did you ever find out what was up?
There are certainly plenty of places around Pahrump to shoot! Ever go to Front Sight?
