No one said anything about putting mounds of make-up on, Im talking about hair. I am oh so anal about my hair. Also what I'm wearing. The first hour may be me just thinking about what to wear. What you guys don't realize is if we are going out on a date we have to wear something youll remember us by. It's the nature of the beast.

Then set aside the correct amount of time. If you know you have a date at 7pm, don't wait until 6pm to start getting ready if it takes you forever. Maybe start getting ready at like noon. That gives you plenty of time to get ready, not like what your wearing, change 10 times, redo your hair 7 times and fix your makeup 4 times. You should be able to know enough about yourself to be able to plan ahead for the date.

Shootouts, sure. But there dramatizations staged for the historic Ticondaroga RR for the fun of the tourists. My uncle actually is one of the "sheriffs" protecting the train from the robbers. Of course the good guys always win! As a quick draw competitor I know the RR is safe.

I think that would cool to see. Reenactments and dramatizations are always fun and interesting to watch.

Me, I usually take at least 2 hours to get ready. Whats wrong with a little anticipation? It'll be worth it in the end to see the finished product. Be glad you even have a date, so quit your bitching you sissy..

Yeah, I don't think most guys like that. My dad always told me not to go out with a girl that spends hours getting ready and wears lots of make up. One day you'll wake up next to her, she won't be wearing make up and you'll freak because you won't recognize her.

If you (not specifically you Holly) are that insecure in how you look, then that a huge no-go for many guys. You should like who you are, not try to be someone you aren't. At first it might be, "oh, she wants to look good for me" but after awhile we just see it as a huge waste of time and you trying to hide your true self from us.

Get used to it.

My 1913 is a Remington manufacture that was made in 1917 and already had the later modifications to it and fits the US made shotguns and M1917 rifle. What you need to complete the collection is the rifles they go on also.

ahh, that's sweet!

I have four CRKT knobs in various sizes all folders, a smith and wesson fixed blade (surprisingly nice knife) and I have a masters of defense folding switchblade that my stepbrother gave me for the deployment that didn't happen. I like all of the knives I have and I have a use for most of them.

Hey! He does live!

Nice 1913 model sword bayonet. I have one of them and also a 1907 bayonet. I have the older British style scabbards for both of mine, Cool to see you have the US style with the metal clips.

Just did a quick search and found out the second from the top is a German WWII bayonet.

Just wondering what everyone has for pack knife I am looking for a ka bar style knife for my b.o.b. I have a cheap survival knife right now. Looking for a better one..

I keep the KA-BAR and the one to the left of it in my BOB. The Cobalt I just got yesterday and haven't decided it's place yet.

Thanks. It's actually a M-1917 though which is just a slightly modified 1913. It was my grandpa's. He always had it hanging above the fireplace. It's in really nice shape and still sharp.

I like yours. I do want to get a British 1913 model someday as well as a British model restamped by the US.

The second one from the bottom is an Iraqi bayonet I bought while I was over there. The other two I'm not really sure about yet. I need to research them.

I like strawberry milkshakes.

Sorry Josh, I rarely sell any of the knives. If it's any help to you, I picked this one up on ebay for $10. So there are a few deals out there to be found. Very nice collection you have so far.

Jim

I didn't think so but thought I'd ask. I'll have to check ebay out, never really looked at bayonets on there.

Here ya go.

I have picked up knives in a lot of different places over the years. In pawn shops, ebay, junk shops, yard sales and even while on vacation. This link shows a lot of them I have now. The good thing about collecting knives is that it doesn't take up very much space.

You wouldn't be interested in maybe selling the bayonet someday would ya? I collect bayonets. Only have a few now though. I'll have to get a pic of them.

Oh damn. Oh. Damn. Oh damn. The wife just might kill me if I bought this.

It is easier to ask forgiveness than permission. Let me know when you pick it up, I'll help you move it and verify it works good.

Politicians are selling out America, it is just to varying degrees.

FLORIDA COURT SETS ATHEIST HOLY DAY

In Florida , an atheist created a case against the upcoming Easter and Passover Holy days. He hired an attorney to bring a discrimination case against Christians and Jews and observances of their holy days. The argument was that it was unfair that atheists had no such recognized days.

The case was brought before a judge. After listening to the passionate presentation by the lawyer, the judge banged his gavel declaring,"Case dismissed!"

The lawyer immediately stood objecting to the ruling saying, "Your honor, How can you possibly dismiss this case? The Christians have Christmas, Easter and others. The Jews have Passover, Yom Kippur and Hanukkah, yet my client and all other atheists have no such holidays.."

The judge leaned forward in his chair saying, "But you do. Your client, counsel, is woefully ignorant."

The lawyer said, "Your Honor, we are unaware of any special observance or holiday for atheists.."

The judge said, "The calendar says April 1st is April Fools Day. Psalm 14:1 states, 'The fool says in his heart, there is no God.' Thus, it is the opinion of this court, that, if your client says there is no God, then he is a fool. Therefore, April 1st is his day. Court is adjourned."

The Angry American by Toby Keith:

Ohhh Justice will be served

And the battle will rage

This big dog will fight

When you rattle his cage

And you'll be sorry that you messed with

The U.S. of A.

'Cause we'll put a boot in your ass

It's the American way

I don't care if the front door is open with a neon sign saying 'Not Home" no one wishes or deserves to be robbed. In the Adirondacks of Northern NY people rarely lock their homes and seldom remove keys from their car. You know why? Because God forbid you get caught stealing because everyone knows everyone else and they all have guns. I like living where my neighbors know me and I know them and we all watch out for eachother.

You mean they don't have shootouts and mass murders all the times??

Congratulations man!!

There are so many I want to comment on but that would take forever! Those were absolutely amazing!

Don't bring a sword to a gun fight.

It rubs the lotion on it's skin or else it gets the hose again.

but is it a point you really want to have to argue in court?

On the one hand, the shooter's lawyer can argue, "my client responded with equal force, not greater - the attacker brandished a deadly weapon. His knife can easily inflict a deadly wound."

and on the other hand, the mugger's lawyer says, "that's ridiculous! A knife may be a deadly weapon, but its effective range is less than 4 feet! My client was shot by this so-called 'victim' when he was 15 feet away! My client was retreating when he was shot, and had relinquished his status as an aggressor; the shooter became the aggressor as soon as my client retreated, and he responded with greater force."

the shooter will likely be cleared of criminal charges, but you KNOW the mugger is going to sue for damages, and I think he'd have a good shot at winning. Different standard of proof.

Regardless of what is right, or fair, or legally correct; you have to ask yourself if it's really worth putting yourself through the process. If it's a life-and-death situation, obviously it is. If the guy is shitting his pants and backing off, then I'd say it's equally obvious that the satisfaction of getting revenge isn't worth it.

Even though this post was started in fun, and I am sure everyone knows that, carrying a firearm either concealed or openly is not something to be taken lightly. A very minor detail can turn the victim into the aggressor very easily.
