    Well, after actually getting some rain the weeds have overtaken my yard. So I had to use my gas powered weed-eater to do some slashing through my fledgling jungle.
    Taking break now and procrastinating the task of putting radius arm bushings on my truck.

    My reason for not being here:

    real life.

    School starts in 2 weeks so I'm out most of the day chilling with my friends and listening to Machine Head.
    Why do you ask? ( well, you don't, but I'm gonna tell it anyway :p ) Because we're going to their show the 18th of November. So yeah, you gotta know each song ;):D

    LOL, Strogg, where I live I want one of those for casual sport, gives a whole new meaning to the phrase, 'I'll be back';)

    yeah, i wish i have one too. You know, gas-operated full automatic shotguns with 20 round drum mags are only a *tad* illegal here in the US. Maybe i can go to Korea and visit the daewoo factory;)

    Over here only the 'Authorities' are armed,



    Oh for a 2nd Amendment..............ooooops that's a little unfashionable these days, if you think anyone except the authorities should be armed you're obviously some kind of fascist;)

    Perhaps everyone's at my birthday party today. :) Happy birthday to me.

    Anyway just got back from 2 weeks holiday/vacation in Wales - land of the male voice choirs, castles, sheep and difficult to pronouce place names.

    Cheers, Maxwell, my present for you is locked in the boot of my car. I tried to drive my bucky (buckey?) to the store but it broke down. But I did have a brie (bree?) to celebrate your "birthday dinner" and the chicken was tasty - wish you were here for it....

    Sorry, maybe not true "English" - I "learned" it from my Zimbabwe/English friends, hee, hee :)

    I guess I'm some kind of fascist. :D Actually, fascism and a free, armed citizenry are diametrically opposed, but "fascism" today seems to mean whatever the particular individual hates, whatever that is.

    The word fascism has come to mean any system of government resembling Mussolini's, that exalts nation and often race above the individual, and uses violence and modern techniques of propaganda and censorship to forcibly suppress political opposition, engages in severe economic and social regimentation, and espouses nationalism and sometimes racism (ethnic nationalism). According to the libertarian Nolan chart, "fascism" occupies a place on the political spectrum as the capitalist equivalent of communism, wherein a system that supports economic liberty is constrained by its social controls such that it becomes virtually indistinguishable from totalitarianism.

    Well, it all depends on who exactly he wants to be armed appart from authorities, and what they would use their weapons for.

    If it were given to the majority race in the USA to "cull" a minority race... yes, that would be fascist... but somehow I don't think thats quite what he was getting at ;)

    Wales! I came back from wales a couple of weeks ago!

    Llandanwg! :D Cwm Bychan! Llanfair! Barmouth! :p (Barmouth is very good place for fishing, by the way;)

    You've been reading too many of my posts, we both seem to agree that a simple consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds.

    Thank you, from you I take it as a compliment

    I've decided that I don't want to be armed. I'd probably shoot every numbskull that cuts me off.

    Well - now you did know BOOT (trunk of automobile) I gather. Bucky is "truck", brie (I remember now it's pronounced "bry") is a barbecue -- hence = chicken.

    Well, I did say they were descendents of the great and terrible white English colonists who didn't do anything positive for the country of Zimbabwe (major sarcasm there, folks) and were basically chased out with nothing but some luggage. So who knows where it came from really...maybe they made it up in their respective families. :)

    Just trying to be cultural. Plus I think you're YOUNG, goldfish, so "What do you really know anyway!!" (just joking there) ;)

    My condolences Pegg. Zimbabwe seems determined to turn what was a productive country into just another starving wasteland. Stupidity rules over there these days.

    Uh??...I was born in England and served some time in Zimbawe - Never heard of any of dat. :confused:
    (I had the dubious "pleasure" of being part of the British "Peace Keeping" forces over there! :rolleyes: )

    Maybe I missed something in my upbringing. :p

    Really good to see you LLC. I was a little concerned when we didn't hear from you after the storm, but Star assured me that you were in an area that wasn't hit too bad, and that you were probably busy getting started with school. How's that going? Anyway, it's good to see you back! :D
     
  40. LadyLaraCroft

    LadyLaraCroft elfette

    Aw Cindy, thank you for your concern.:)

    Yeah, thank God we didn't get hit! I feel so sorry for those unfortunate ones who did. Without homes, missing family?? Oh, I couldn't imagine!:(

    School's going ok, I still need to get into the hang of things, then it'll be better. For now though, I wish that summer had not ended just yet!

    It's so good to see you too:) *hugs!!!!*
