Buffistas

And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

I played with exploives and pyroshit. Time honored family tradition.... I was more about the burn than the bang, though. But I was suitably impressed by my brother's experiments in blowing up gijoe little people. When the rubber bands connecting their limbs went, they went flying!

Um. Hi.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Yeah. Lighting things on fire, blowing things up, breaking things in general, sword-fighting with sticks and other unsafe sword-like objects, throwing potentially lethal objects at each other, climbing trees, running around in the woods, jumping off of high objects and creating make-shift ramps for bikes, etc, etc. It's a miracle I survived.

Stupidest thing I ever did was dropping a cinder block on a bullet when I was 10 or so. I thought it would just make a loud bang (and wow was it loud). I didn't realize it would actually go anywhere without being in a gun. Thankfully it wasn't pointed at myself or anyone else.

I think because of the way I grew up, firing a gun indoors, any kind of gun, was completely verboten.

Mine too. You'd get the "Gun Safety Lecture."

"Don' be e-scared"

Speaking of firing guns indoors -- I'm currently reading a book about Lincoln's assassination, and it got me to thinking... actors have never liked Republicans.

Even when they are Republicans?

Well, sure. It's not that my family is anti-gun (HA! All of them, except for me are NRA members and there's a reloader and several bags of shot in the basement for my mom's hobby). It's just that you have to be really fucking stupid to play with guns indoors.

And, from the kid perspective, it's too easy to get caught. BBs in bad places.

That's a question for Charlton Heston or our current governor, I wager.

"Don' be e-scared"

Not sure I'd classify either one as "actors." Okay, maybe Heston. Didja see his turn in Branagh's "Hamlet"?

Mine either. Family of cops and all. Yet, they freak me out.

Especially when I'm sitting in between the wives of two of my exes and they're discussing their firearms. Hi, I must be leaving now.

ETA: What about John Wayne? Oh and that dude. The one who did the movie with the chimp. I think he was pretty active in the Republican party.
