Very lucky. You can see over the bamboo if you jump. The cornfields I used to run through had corn stalks seven feet and higher.
As for where I live now...The bamboo is 20+ feet high. Bummer. Try running through this kind of bamboo grove, and you'll find that for every bamboo stalk, there's a dead one lying in your path. And if you cut one down, there's a fair chance it'll fall on you.
How do you carry the Ka-bar?
Are you joking? It's not really safe to say something like that in a public forum. Afterall, some of our members are police.There was a disagreement between myself and the police. They felt I should be arrested, and I didn't.

Glockman99,
Now wait, he brings up a good point. That is, what is really wrong, and what is illegal.
During the early 1970's, I'll bet none of my Harley's would pass a Wisconsin equipment code check. All of my pipes were 'straight,' no baffles, and my handle bars were for my comfort, not for society's.
I'd get pulled over, the cops knew us, we'd get chewed out, I'd pretend remorse, and the game continued. No one got hurt. I'll bet there was an auto knife in there as well.
We never sold drugs or hurt women, that would have been immoral.

TMG,
We get the point: you are a child who needs attention and can't get it through productive means. We hear you loud and clear. Thanks for more proof though.
