The Anything Thread

[gollum83]

Have you ever actually done that? It's a little messy.

Personally? No. Seen it done? Yes. Easiest way to behead a chicken is nail two metal fence post next to each other, leaving a gap. Insert chicken, neck between the post, and chop. Head comes off, chicken runs around like a drunk, and dies. Pluck, cook and eat.

[soapbox]

That's simply because you haven't been around enough as of late to catch whatever it is we caught. Fear for your title! :ohmy:


If this keeps up, we will be quarantined! :eek:


Or put down. :yikes:

Pffft. My great grandmother did it with her bare hands, as did most old time Italians. True story.

Hey, when one potentially have to do tens of chickens in a day on occasion, like my grandparents and great grandparents did, it's quick and easy. So :tongue:

Awesome! The only chickens I ever killed (on record) was in an Ag class. We had to grab the chicken, hold him over a bucket, do the deed with a knife, and hold him into the bucket to until he quit spraying and twitching. That was also the class where we dropped a frozen hog carcass on our teacher's foot. The vice principal had to sit in for the rest of class as they took him to the hospital.

I knew a girl in elementary school who's parents had chicken houses. I walked through with her once as she grabbed the defunct chickens by the head and slung them around until their necks broke.....some of them clean off....






I later asked her out.

[jadam318]

The new Cowboys Stadium screen would be a better choice (and I'm not even a Cowboys fan, really). I have more pixels (a LOT more), but high-def is still impressive:


Scoreboard / Video Screen / Jerry-Tron Measurements: Largest high definition television screen in the world.
Size: 160 feet by 72 feet | 49 meters by 22 meters | 11,520 square feet
Resolution: equivalent to 1080p


I heard one of the Cowboys' own punters was trying to hit it and the owner caught him.





The new guy is really growing on me. :w00t:

What can I say, Blake? I think our interests have aligned.

[jadam318]

For the record, that is a completely true story, well, I never worked up the courage to ask her out before I moved away in 5th grade. :blushing:

[jadam318]

You are a twisted individual, aren't you? :biggrin:

Maybe a little :biggrin:


Weren't you afraid she would break your, ummm... neck?

In 4th grade? Everything was G rated at that point in my life. I didn't know what my, ummm....neck was to be used for.

[moonshine44]

1) The new guy is really growing on me. :w00t:

He does seem to be fitting right in, doesn't he?

Hey Hey, y'all!

Soapbox updates:


WIFE PREGNANT, having a BOY in May 2010.
Shave soap recipe refinement is going well; new testing pucks available soon, in Bayberry scent
Passed my amateur radio (ham) license tests for Technician and General on the same day!
The Great Big Screen works, but not very well. This has sucked up most of my time at work lately.
I still love Linux, but it can be exhausting when you're trying to run 12 screens at once off of three rackmount workstations.
Denton Texas continues to be great, and the house hasn't fallen down yet
I've started using a straight on the weekends; thanks to Richmondesi and Mysterion for chatting about it with me
I passed a point somewhat recently when I realized that I had made a complete transition to DE shaving -- it's no longer novel, it's just part of the daily ritual. And that's awesome.
Of course, the straight shaving is awesome but I'm not very good yet, so there's lots of razor burn and some stubble here and there. I still like it.


Congrats on the soon to be little Jesse! :w00t::w00t: That display is just awesome! We'll need pics once the top row is up as well.


+1! We'll need pics of the lad when the time comes. In the meantime, how about pics of the jumbotron you've birthed? :biggrin:

It's beautiful! :crying:

Looks good as is, though I'd be real concerned about the black storm that appears to be rolling in!

As impressive as it is, it wasn't very well planned. When kickers are already hitting it in the preseason and the NFL has to adopt new rules to deal with it something is just wrong. That said, it really is quite impressive!

Here's an updated picture of little Soapbox, too. (yeah, how long have I been away? Well, little Soapbox's vocabulary is amazing, and she knows all but one or two of her ABCs, that's how long)

We've still got 'em, waiting on the day when we need/want to use them again. I think my friend Jeff might want them for his sister's wedding in 2010, but I'd have to ship them to North Carolina. I also considered modifying one to help me hang some antenna wire up a tree, but I'd have to do a lot of testing and would almost certainly draw unwanted attention from the neighbors. The launchers are VERY safe, but people are naturally suspicious. And if they knew me, they might be more suspicious...

That must have been an interesting hospital visit. "How'd ya break your foot?" "My class dropped a pig on me!" :lol:

The funny thing is, he didn't curse noticeably until he got mad that we were just laughing at him. He was hopping and limping around until he sat down. About then he got mad at us for not helping and just laughing. The cursing at that point just made it funnier.

What truly made it funny was he gave a few of us some binding wire and told us to hang it from the rafter, under his supervision of course. He stopped us and said that's good. We told him no, it wasn't strong enough to hold and he blew us off and said it would be fine. He had us taking turn sawing down the spine and stopped us mid way through to demonstrate something. He turned it slightly and we all heard a "Pong!" that we will never forget! :lol::lol::lol: I still cracks me up. :biggrin:

Thank you.

Now.....

Does 2012 scare you? It reminds me of Y2K hype.

Um, except it's completely wacko. Y2K was a legitimate concern (though blown out of proportion). 2012 is just a change in the Mayan calendar cycle, or something like that. BIG DEAL.

My favorite part of this is when people of a faith that isn't ancient Mayan get all wound up about it. Um, why would the Mayan calendar matter if you're Christian, Jewish, or Muslim?

Now, I believe that preparedness for disasters is just fine, but preparing for the end of the world is actually pretty egotistical: really? The world's been here for 4-point-something billion years* and it's all going to come crashing down in your lifetime? Really?

Aw, shucks. :blushing:


The Czar is well-pleased by your return as well. :smile:

We are, indeed, glad to have you back. :001_smile

Ask 'em if they know the majority of the 2012 predictions are by New Agers. I read a little on Wikipedia about this issue and I'm convinced people are cuckoo.

Now, I believe that preparedness for disasters is just fine, but preparing for the end of the world is actually pretty egotistical: really? The world's been here for 4-point-something billion years* and it's all going to come crashing down in your lifetime? Really?


* even if they believe the world is only 7000 years old, this argument is still valid.

Spend a few nights with me at work. I will have you convinced beyond doubt. :frown2:


Plus, to state the obvious, if it's the "end of the world," what's the sense in preparing? NO ONE IS GOING TO SURVIVE.

Thank you!


Except the cockroaches.

(On a more serious end-of-the-world note, have any of you read Cormac McCarthy's The Road (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Road)? It looks really chilling and dark.)

I heard that the beetles were more likely to survive than cockroaches. :rolleyes:


You were singing a different tune when you were in the Czar's Dungeons. :ohmy:

:biggrin:

:sneaky2:


Have you read Isaac Asimov's Nightfall? What if they're right and something is about to happen? :smile:

If it is, so what? I can't do a thing about it. People think in too much "mob mentality", and once that disaster virus spreads, the mobs grow larger in their panic.



Exactly.

I couldn't agree more. Being dead serious for a moment, I have learned that people always talk big about their rights and ability to make their own decision. When given this right, they don't know how to handle it. They do one of two things. Either the make stupid decisions or they make no decision. It's like giving a keg of beer to a teenager. Society is geared towards being catered to. When a disaster occurs, everyone sits around and waits to be rescued. No one is ever responsible for what decisions they do make. Someone spill a cup of hot coffee in their lap and it is the vendor's fault. Someone ignores the warnings about smoking and gets cancer, it is the cigarettes manufacturer's fault. People, in general, are incapable of making logical decisions and are not held responsible for the ones they do.

Okay, I apologise as I climb off my soapbox. :blushing:


<Google search for "cases of ammunition" and "on sale"...>

:w00t:


Good luck with that, there's an ammo shortage.

That happens when I place my order. Sorry. :redface:


Hey, at least I didn't make a comment. :biggrin: I only laughed.

Speaking of storage....

How many of you are restocking your underground Y2K bunkers?

What do you mean "restock"? :wink:


I need a shovel first, and some concrete forms. :001_tongu

Understandably. You did just move and all. :wink:


Ah, so you need to build your underground bunker! Make sure you make it nuclear bomb-proof. And by all the surplus MREs you can find (or stomach).

I have bought two cases of MRE's for our wilderness trips this year. While shopping for them, I found they all seemed to be in Michigan or Texas. :001_tongu


This consideration is not least in my thinking. Little soapbox is smart, curious, and has a wicked sprint. Naturally none of the guns are loaded, and they're all in latched boxes (as is the ammo), but...I mean, the girl could turn on and unlock my iPhone when she was 10 months old!! :ohmy:


Zackly! Whatever they are not supposed to do, that's what they do first.

When my dad went through the Police Academy, they drilled into them the importance of letting us kids play with their guns any time we wanted, under supervision. There are two reasons. 1) You can drill into the kid's head the proper handling of a firearm. To this day, I still check and clear the chamber when handed a gun, even if I watched the guy handing it to me do the same. 2) It eliminates the curiosity and draw of the forbidden. As a officer, dad always had at least one loaded gun accessible. My brother and I always knew where it was but never once played with it unless given permission.
Just a little advice to anyone with firearms and kids.

It's so nice to have Jesse back helping me and Neil keep the Czardom classy...

[blackfoot]

Blake, now you're beginning to grow on me.

If you start sining this, I'm out of here. :eek: :wink:

I think there is a cream for that.

That sounds great! :w00t:

It is, but it's kind of uplifting in places. My son read it a while ago and badgered me into reading it - I'm glad he did. Also, not being a parent, his perspective and understanding of it was quite different than mine.

[RichGem]

Yeah? How was the dog food?

Maybe Mom made it with extra gravy?!

[richmondesi]

So when I was 6, I said one stupid thing. You've been making a fool of yourself on the reg. here since Feb... sshhh... stop talking :closedeye


Maybe Mom made it with extra gravy?!

Nope, it was in a sandwich and it was tasty! (SPAM!)

[blackfoot]

It has been much longer than February, I assure you. :rolleyes:

I don't see how that's possible when you use real napalm in your sauce.

Obviously, you didn't read it.

If you had read it, you would know that the end of the world was brought about only because they didn't believe the "crazies" who were predicting the impending disaster and, unprepared, the population became a panicking mob and killed everyone.
Silly. :001_tongu

Russian Christmas? What would that smell like?


Kahlua, egg nog, and vodka.


Hmm...that might smell good.......

On the road again, so limited access to B&B. Who's leading the revolt over the loss of custom titles? I woulda thunk any czar worth a hoot would be out front waving the banner and sounding the trumpet.

Our illustrious Czar has much more diplomatic and gentlemanly means than an out and out revolt. All the while he thumbs the red phone to my office. :cool:

Well, I probably slipped under the radar because I was absent, temporarily.

Listening to I wish by Stevie Wonder. Great song.

[skklog]

Would you believe I volunteered as a full-time minister for three years? At work, I am known by the nicknames Rambo, Termiinator, and 007. Several officers told me how they were told about an officer called Rambo. After being introduced to me, they were told that's him. Imagine their shock when they learn this fact. :w00t: :gunsmilie:

It's ironic that when you look at me and Blackfoot, you would never think we are ordained ministers!

No worries. The cream worked.
