Um, yes to both of these.

A gloriously bad idea unless you don't care where the bullet lands. Often illegal as well if I'm not mistaken. Have a look at the Taurus .45/.410.

Hang on! Let me find my spectacles you damned home invader!

Everyone who's seen a violent pot smoker, raise your hand. Now, raise your hand if you've seen a violent beer drinker. I thought so. So, who's on board for another Prohibition?

Never felt the need to have a gun in the house (yes, I've trained to use them but don't feel the need to have any despite having lived in some shitty neighborhoods). First off, if you want the wife to use it, make sure she goes through a safety course first, yourself included if you haven't. Last thing we need is more untrained noobs out there buying guns. Second, if you want the wife to use it, stop thinking I want the 12 gauge auto combat how-itzer with laser sights and a grenade launcher. It might make *you* feel safer but what are you going to do, leave it lying around the living room? Consider something that takes a .410 shotshell. It might not satisfy your bloated testosterone urges but you should be able to have it in something small that the wife can use and you don't have to be as good a shot as you might have to be with a 9mm. Besides, if your wife (or you) misses the target (and you probably will), you're less likely to kill one of your neighbors or one of your neighbors kids. Best solution, take time to think about it and ask yourself if this what you really want/need. PS. Mods, I know you don't like Dan He Who Shall Not Be Named but if I can't spell how-itzer without a hyphen, that's stupid.

it's the fault of bush and cheney that we don't have good pizza everywhere, you know that don't you?

Ok.....what is your definition of "real pizza"? Let me guess....something from New York? Everyones taste buds are different friend. Depends on what you I'm looking for in a pizza. Something thin and crispy, yeah a NY/Italian style. If I want pie-style, go for something like Edwardo's or Giordano's from Chicago (or Zachary's from Berkeley). If I needed a laxative or an emetic, I'd go to a chain store like Pizza Hut. Life's too short to eat boring/bad food.

Some day, son, you'll have real pizza and change your mind. Still, the weird Japanese pizza looks to be an improvement on anything served at the horrendous Canadian chain: Boston Pizza. :barfs:

The words 'awesome' and 'pizza hut' should never be in the same sentence.

No one ever respects the cheerleaders....

Nope, just not dazzled by your attempts at 'enlightening' us po' folks about the obvious. While the situation apropos aboriginal Americans was/is tragic, there's precious little we can do about it. Meanwhile, intelligent people are able to discuss a topic of concern in the present without making sophomoric comments like "Gee, I wonder what the American Indians would have thought of your stance on illegal immigration?". So, again, what exactly is your point other than displaying your guilty conscience publically?

Who said anything about leaving? Just pointing out the hypocrisy of white Americans that want to keep others out of 'our' land. What's your point then other than making a blindingly brilliant statement of the obvious?

I volunteer you to leave first and show us the way.

Depends. Are college chapels 'fair'? Are they considered 'special treatment' if you're, say, an atheist and prefer to spend your Sunday mornings in a brew pub but the college refuses to build one? Is 'fairness' equality of treatment or equality of opportunity or what? If you don't avail yourself of a chapel, are you being denied an opportunity? Are colleges merely responding to customers demands (as evinced by the growing poshness of dormitories) and thus merely 'competing for business'? What then?

The point is local or state governments don't have the constitutional power to decide immigration issues or make laws pertaining thereto. The court is basically whacking down the mole of local governments charting their own course on the matter. How do you decide the fate of illegal immigrants if states and cities start making their own laws on such things? What if you entered into one state that said you were legal and then moved to another state that said you were illegal or vice versa? Laws exist to fine employers of illegal immigrants. They simply aren't well enforced (lack of man power, lack of political will, lobbyist/industry resistance).

"I'm not going to answer that question."

I recall seeing Frank Shorter (gold medal in the marathon in the 72 Munich Olympics for those of you too young to remember) on the Tonight Show. They hooked him up to a treadmill and monitored his heart rate. Before he started, it was something like 36 or 38. He started running and it went up to about 60 and then dropped back down to his resting heart rate again......I'm sure that's a sign of how ill he was.

How else do you expect them to call forth Satan when budget bills are being voted on or when it's re-election time?

Anyone have a look at the Mountain Hardwear Viperine 3 tent yet? Seems like it has decent headroom and a nice vestibule. The pole system seems kind of funky.

had some klipsch's for several years.

Dare you ask archenemy about video editing?

One shouldn't group the professionals with the amateurs

had an interesting brush with greatness this weekend. i'm embarrassed to say i didn't even realize it at the time. in preparation for buying my first motorcycle i was taking the novice rider's class at sand point park. in walks this tall lanky dude that looks like he's channeling the rock-star/biker poser look. um....well....much to my chagrin....he actually was a rock star. turns out Duff McKagan ,formerly of Guns N Roses and now of Velvet Revolver, was firming up his rock-star/biker street cred.
