I love physicists who live in the nether realm of theory. He's full of crap! The heavy lead slug will stay put. What he didn't consider is what happens to the brass casing. In reality, the casing catastrophically expands, rips apart, and fragments of it fly through the air in many cases. The scars on my cheek and hands testify to that fact. Lummox, what did your experiment indicate? edit: I miss read legs original post. I though it was a physics instructor, not a firearms instructor. I still call bullshit on the guy.

Or just take that space blanket out of your kit of 10 essentials and put it to good use.

BOY........I"m glad I read all that Timmy.... wtf?

cleaned greasy bike parts in gasoline....and enjoyed breathing the fumes. stayed home alone under the age of 13...when I didn't mind the rules I was locked out of the house between the time I got off from school and the time my mom got home from work If it was winter she at least gave me a key to the (unheated) garage. climbed trees and onto roofs every chance I got. My mom had to hose me down out of trees a few times when I got stubborn.

my cousins and myself shot each other with bb guns we rode horses bareback and unbridled, unsupervised and way out sight of any adults I broke a few teeth on the school playground and nobody sued anybody I got my ass kicked in 3rd grade by the older sister of the kid I was actually fighting with (she smacked both of us around a bit and told us each to go home.) my parents actually spanked us, on numerous occasions, and CPS didn't give a damn....we'd never even HEARD of CPS. tossed .22 shells into a bonfire and survived the shrapnel hits....learned alot from that one! started numerous fires in improper situations......but that's another topic.....and I think that's why I'm afraid to have kids....I'd hate to go thru what I put my parents through.

glad they found your car and stuff. those boots are HOT so understandably the theif kept those and nothing else *sigh* you'll be punished appropriately for losing those. -Mistress Minx oh no..... not another session of spit shining your boots while I'm blindfolded and gagged! the last time nearly pushed me over the edge......

SPD called and said they'd recovered my car. It was parked in permitted street parking near 15th and NE Ravenna, the tire was chalked and I suspect that parking enforcement identified it as stolen. No body or wiring damage. I got in, put the key in the ignition, and it started right up. It runs and sounds like crap, vibrations in the engine area, but it was too dark to look it over too closely. It's pretty clear that the thief has a bunch of old Saab keys or some kind of a master. I'm just grateful I didn't lose any climbing gear or anything else really expensive. My fav Vuarnets were still in the dash, fav SS coffee mug on the floor, fav beefy jumper cables I made in jr high school still in the back, POS stereo and speakers still there, fav blues and 80s alt rock cassette tapes thrown all over the car. And Minx, I'm sorry to report that the dancin' shoes were nowhere to be seen. Maybe we'll have to hook up and go shoe shopping together....

ahh.....I didn't know he'd left town.

Make that Erik...with a K.

I want to see if he's still got his POS Subaru for sale, but he hasn't been posting or reading (my) PMs. Someone email or call him and give him a 'heads up.' If he's been banned, too, someone send me his email address.

It sure does!

I pulled out a little Rev Horton Heat for this morning. will follow that up with some Screaming Blue Messiahs and then some Robbie Robertson.

If it pulls out it's drill kit again, I'll bet the Martians will disable this one, too. Mars is a strictly TRAD zone.

Hey! Stop tickling Elmo.....the rope is caught on his...ahem...and when you tickle him I can't rap.

Bait

I couldn't believe they fit me! After you snuck out in your bare feet that morning I noticed them in the corner of the room and tried them on...and Voila!...they fit. I've been wearing them ever since. If they're still in the car when it's recovered I promise to get them back to you.

Another perspective: depending on the nature of the climb, I sometimes like to hear about my partner's physical condition. That headache could be the onslaught of altitude related problems, and it's good to monitor their status periodically. Same for diahrrea, fatigue, cramps, and anthing else. Of course, if it's just a day toproping at X38 I wholeheartedly agree with you.

Minx, you of all people should know I meant this: But seriously, it's just a royal pain in the ass. I've been planning to get a newer car, but wanted to drive this one another 5,000 miles so I could watch it turn over to 200,000 miles.

86 Saab 2dr hatchback, red. missing left front wheel cover, a little peeling paint on the very front of the hood. WA plates start with 968-XXX. I just finished up with the police report. The officer said mine was the 4th old Saab in the 'north seattle' area stolen recently, and that old Saabs have become frequent targets. Numerous Saabs stolen from Cap Hill area, too. My hunch is that's because the ignition switch is on the console between the seats and does not lock the steering column...one less thing to hassle with when hot wiring it.

from right out in front of my house in Greenlake. No broken glass on the street where it was parked, just gone. About a week ago someone got into it and pulled everything out of the glove box, but all they took was an old junk cell phone and a old pair of dancing shoes. I wonder if the two incidents are related. edit for photo: This isn't my beast, but it's is very close. knock off the left front wheel cover, peel a little paint off the hood where the emblem is, throw on a little dirt, and you've got mine.

...and who would have dug the Ship Canal? In 1883, Chinese laborers were recruited to dig the canal. They were driven from the City of Seattle by mobs a couple of years later.
