Is everything okay in here? Just checking in to make sure no one is cursing or showing off their "Look at me as a drag queen" pics. I mean you, Murph.

JT, when you say things like this: "I sincerely hope you're kidding. If you are kidding, knock it off. It's not one bit funny, kid. That's exactly the sort of thing that makes hunters look like trigger-happy morons. :thumbdn:"

It tends to make me think that you are not having a polite discussion, or a discussion at all. Telling me that I make all hunters look like trigger-happy morons because I had a buck poke me and I made some wild shots to take it down is a very good way to get some youngblood like me riled up, and I didn't want to say anything publicly because this thing happens WAY TO OFTEN and I don't want to draw attention to it when it does.

Kid, James is right on the whole, and you needed a kick in the pants. DON'T take wild shots. Period. If you don't know where the bullet is going and what it is going to hit, DO NOT pull the trigger. It's that simple. There's no excuse for such actions--ADD or otherwise.

Out of respect for the military, my cross dressing has been suspended until Wednesday.
 
Hey Murph, thank you for your service. That goes to all our veteran Beckerheads as well. Hopefully everyone has a good Veterans day.

Amanda and I just had a heck of a ride home from the grocery store. Usually I get something to snack on for the way home while driving. I started eating and for some reason starting to choke of my food. It started as a quick cough and turned into the food lodged in my throat. I had to pull the Jeep over quickly. In doing so I felt like I was going to hit a telephone pole. I managed to pull over and stop my Jeep. Still choking I got out of the Jeep and started to reach my fingers down my throat to dislodge the food while staggering on the side of the road. Amanda quickly put her arms around me from behind and performed the Heimlich maneuver. The third or fourth attempt the food was dislodged from my throat and I was breathing again.

It took me a little while to regain my composure and continue on home. I am so thankful that she was there with me. I would have been in a world of hurt. She gets my vote for hero of the day.

Thats scary stuff man, when y son was at the 3 to 5 year old range he had a bad habit of stuffing to much food in his mouth. (Like he was afraid he would get it taken away or something) anyway, three different times over the coarse of those couple of years he got choked. Every time thank God my wife was there and grabbed him and gave him the Heimlich. One time in particular he was turning blue. She was calm and saved him every time. I have no dought if it wasn't for her being calm and remembering her training the result would of been very different. Very very scary stuff. Glad your o.k. Dresnor........Hooray for Amanda.

Sorry dude, I was in the checkout line with a can of monster in each hand.

I did a quick google for "giant reeses". This might be it.

HOLY ............ :eek:
 
Happy Veteran's Day, and thanks to all who served. Murph, WW, zz, Col Defender, weaponeer (who mostly lurks) and I'm sure quite a few others out there that I'm forgetting...

And as I veteran myself (20 years, 8 months, 3 days according to my DD214), I'd like to thank all those when enabled me to serve: my parents for raising me with a strong sense of right/wrong and a spirit of service; my ex-wife (surprise!) who also was in the Army, but got out when we had our first child; and my kids for being "Army brats" and putting up with the moves every 3 years.

Also need to thank my (relatively) new wife (a little over 2 years) for supporting me in my Dept of the Army civilian job where I can continue to serve. She kept things going for the last 9 weeks while I was having fun (haha) at Ft. Bliss (El Paso).

Finally, for those not tracking it, a lot of restaurants and other businesses offer deals for veterans today. I myself am going to Texas Roadhouse for a free lunch, but there are many others choices that will show up in an internet search. Also, the two big home improvement stores offer 10% of every day to active and retired military, and make the same offer to any veteran today.

Well how about I just extend the Beckerhead invitation then. If anybody is in the area feel free to drop by ;) I just so happen to be a very good improve host. Garage party can be optional if you're not into that kinda thing :P Besides, the big hit is always drinking in the hot tub :D

Potatoes and golf balls make some pretty awesome projectiles out of a pvc cannon.

I could of used one of these after the garage party last night. Instead I ate baked pumpkin seeds with bbq seasoning and watched "Lego Movie".


Thank you to all who are serving, have served, or paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Have a great Veterans Day / Remembrance Day
 
ROFL so I just had a 'derp' moment. I'm trying to clean up a bit before getting ready to go visit my grandmother. I went to go shovel the ashes from last nights fire out of my fire bowl. It was a little bit warm but nothing too bad...I figured it should be safe to get rid of it in a yard waste bag if the ashes are just still kinda warm... I dumped half of them in and went to go get a better shovel for the rest of the job. When I came back 2min later there was just smoking pile of ashes on the ground haha. Seems the bag ignited :D I guess I'll be leaving them there for the day to cool lol.
 
Ya ever have to resist the urge to throat-punch the clerk at the store because you just had almost the shittiest possible day and they tell you to have a nice day?
 
I invited myself to go eat at my grandma's place.
She made me duck filet with mushroom sauce and onions.
I should invite myself over there more often.

The store clerks over here usually don't even say that. That isn't an excuse to not throat-punch them though.
