What're you doing up so late? Post a crazy pic, tell us something funny, or simply check in! |
Good, 'cause I'm gabby!  I have 5 more regular work days, 2 huge events, and a party to prepare for in the next week. I'm SO overwhelmed, overworked, and overtired. I've only had 3 days off since the 4th of July.  And those 3 days were spent catching up on the ever hated paperwork! I DO have this weekend free and clear, and just booked a flight to PHX.  |
I seem to have kicked mine, too... I posted a thread about it... had it 3 or 4 months, doc couldn't give me anything to kick it... using OTC stuff to stop coughing. >> At "work"... night shift security.

Regarding what you are looking for... can you possibly be a little more vague? Ever done black powder? Or BP cartridge guns, like the Sharps? How 'bout BP revolvers? More fun that you can shake a Pope at. |

A little something from the darkside   |
The Medusa... featured in the book "The DaVinci Code." The Medusa chambers over 25 calibers! All in the 9mm/.357 range of course. Interesting pistol. Wish I had the $$$ for it. |
Never seen one of those before, thanks for posting it! |
|
I'm in a mood... So its time for the "Bum Wines" link again!  www.bumwine.com |

Thunderbird... As pictured to the left, look for the pigeon feces and you'll find this old bird. As soon as you taste this swill, it will be obvious that its makers cut every corner possible in its production to make it cheap. Self-proclaimed as "The American Classic," Thuderbird is Vinted and bottled by E&J Gallo Winery, in in Modesto, CA. Disguised like Night Train, the label says that it is made by "Thunderbird, Ltd." If your taste buds are shot, and you need to get trashed with a quickness, then "T-bird" is the drink for you. Or, if you like to smell your hand after pumping gas, look no further than Thunderbird. As you drink on, the bird soars higher while you sink lower. The undisputed leader of the five in foulness of flavor, we highly discourage driking this ghastly mixture of unknown chemicals unless you really are a bum. A convenience store clerk in Show Low, AZ once told me that only the oldest of stumbling indian drunks from the reservation buy Thunderbird. Avaliable in 750 mL and a devastating 50 oz jug. The history of Thunderbird is as interesting as the drunken effects the one experiences from the wine. When Prohibition ended, Ernest Gallo and his brothers Julio and Joe wanted to corner the young wine market. Earnest wanted the company to become "the Campbell Soup company of the wine industry" so he started selling Thunderbird in the ghettos around the country. Their radio adds featured a song that sang, "What's the word? / Thunderbird / How's it sold? / Good and cold / What's the jive? / Bird's alive / What's the price? / Thirty twice." It is said that Ernest once drove through a tough, inner city neighborhood and pulled over when he saw a bum. When Gallo rolled down his window and called out, "What's the word?" the immediate answer from the bum was, "Thunderbird." WARNING: This light yellow liquid turns your lips and mouth black! A mysterious chemical reaction similar to disappearing-reappearing ink makes you look like you've been chewing on hearty clumps of charcoal.

Never seen it.
|
Life is too short do drink that shit 
|
Nein, nischt wiesbier. Ich BITBURGER haben. Bitburger ist nischt sehr gut. 
|
Like I would! I don't even like to drink good wine, and just suffer through it when I have to. I'm much more of a light beer gal. 
|
Reminds me of a few lines from a British comedy show my dad listened to. Some Brit comic was busting on on Austrailian wines. "This is a wine with a message: BEWARE! This has the delicate aroma of an aborigine's armpit!..." |
Ja, Ich mag Bitburger nicht! Hofbräuhaus ist die besten! |
You are a California girl, and you like guns and beer!! What more could a man want? |
I also crack up at the cheap tuxedo wearing wine stewards, at some of the restaurants I go to...and how they try to be all intimidating. I give them a big fuck you smile, and ask what they have in a cheap light American beer. I love to see those pompous, chevette driving, scumbags clench up their butt cheeks!
|
Missed this one... OK... I warned you all I was gabby.... WTF is up with old people, and their lack of ability to SMELL?? Old women are the worst offenders. Their LOUD, overpowering perfume makes me GAG! Can't they smell that they are stinky?? |
BT reporting! Just finished my last count of the shift, now waiting for the clear count to start popping doors open and let the knuckleheads out of their cells. Working the Morning Watch here at USP Coleman I. T.G.I.F.; well, sort of... I get out and drive home and start prepping for this weekend, which is Drill Weekend for me; trade my FBOP uniform for my ACUs and go play soldier for the weekend. Coincidentally, this is my last drill before AT, which is on the 10th; more than liley, the weekend drill will focus on all the stuff we'll be doing for "Op Red Dragon" at Ft. McCoy, WI. Also, I can guess we'll get our new ACUs and related gear for which we got measured last drill; the full compliment (MICH Helmet, Elbow/Knee Pads, ACUs, Boots, Cold and warm weather gloves, undershirts and so forth) will probably get issued this weekend prior to our departure to Wisconsin. Well, with all the new stuff we're getting issue, it'll be no suprise that down the road, we'll get deployed to Iraq (or A-Stan), which would make it my second deployment to the region and the second one for the unit as well. Cross my fingers that it will be to Afghanistan instead; already went to Iraq and that place sucks ass (not that A-Stan is any better, but hey!). |
My brother and his wife, both Mormons, went to a posh restaurant in Monterey, CA. They brought their own alcohol-free wine. The wine captain came over and asked if they wanted him to open it for them. He did so, and (jokingly) snarled, "Would you like to smell the cap???" (This was just after the first Kermit the Frog movie came out.) Then as they left, the bastage left them a $10.00 UNCORKING FEE on their bill!!!!!! |
