I understand there's a gun range up in NH where they have Uzis you can rent (and very carefully fire, with an instructor at your side). Anybody want to go?
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.
'Trash'
Natter 64: Yes, we still need you
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

This story has: dwarf Lucha Libre wrestlers, a gang of old women and poison eye drops.
That's kind of beautiful.
Except for the 2 wrestlers who died, of course. Not so beautiful for them.

Our wings are not tired.
My father took us to target practice when we were kids and I learned to drive on a stick, so those items are covered. I think the main reason my son likes to come to Otter Lake for the summer is the opportunity to shoot at stuff in the back yard. He's pretty good at it.
Only 1 murder last year in Delray Beach. Property crime seems to be a big issue though.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yeah, I'd like to learn to shoot a handgun at some point. Too much crime fiction, I guess...
I am moderately cranky today, and my annoying boss and her even more annoying assistant are having stupid conversations that I can't help but listen to! Maybe if I did some actual work, that would help. Meh!

I've shot guns and I've driven stick almost exclusively. I've even taught someone how to drive stick. I'm covered.

We have similar rates of non-violent crime to the US, but murder rates are about a third the US rate.
But all the animals there are poisonous so it evens out.

But in my state, there are still morons who want the right to bring guns in bars.
Don't you want to be able to shoot the drunk guy with a gun before he shoots you? Come to think of it, I think it would just make me want to avoid bars.

The A's have just been dispiriting to watch even with some talented young pitching. Too many guys hitting .240 or less. Feh.
Not as dispiriting as the Royals who need to win a frakking game sometime. I believe they have lost 8 of their last 8 games.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

We could talk about Big Brother, and how stupid Ronnie is instead.

OMG, right, Perkins?!?!?! What a freaking idiot. I mean seriously.
