In defense of Texas, the state would do pretty well as its own nation. In terms of population, Texas has more people than the median UN member. In terms of land mass, Texas has plenty. Geography and geology are varied. The agricultural base, industrial base, and extractive industries are all well-developed. If there's a part of the state you don't like, there are plenty of other places to go. I haven't spent a lot of time in Texas, but I like it well enough. Were I still a single man, I probably would have left California years ago and ended up in Arizona or Texas (where gun laws and the climate are to my liking, if not always the rest of the politics).

BUT you can bait and trap game.. or shoot them from aircraft. Shows where there are guts and sports involved here eh I say we get the sword repealed, better yet make it the only way to harvest feral hogs... go out with a long blade or spear and face the tusker face to face.. rather then turn your dogs on it and let it rip them up so you can staple them together and wrap some duct tape on them. (got that second hand info from a taxidermist friend of mine when we were discussing a hog he was working on.).Originally posted by pmulcahy11b View Post
They don't HUNT in Texas, they only HARVEST.. Yeah it's one of my peeves of the Great State of Texas, and has been since I got here in '87.Comment

I like to think of it as AMBUSHING, specially deer. I mean, you set up a feeder that goes off at dawn and dusk, luring the deer to feed. Then you set up a stand, 10' pluss off the ground, in easy rifle range. And then you just wait.Originally posted by Graebarde View PostJust because I'm on the side of angels doesn't mean I am one.Comment

Sounds like one of my favorite stupid-criminal stories. The rumor is that two guys wanted to hold up a convenience store, but wanted to avoid the minimum sentence for using a gun. They took baseball bats!Originally posted by StainlessSteelCynic View PostQ. How many Marines does it take to push a knife-wielding thief off a kerb
A. None, he slipped.
Serves the idiot right for stabbing a military man
(OK, they have half a brain between them, but awful luck.)
Seems the guy behind the counter was a hand-to-hand combat instructor-- rumor is he had been in the Israeli Army. He beat them up with their own bats. And then called the sheriff.My Twilight claim to fame: I ran "Allegheny Uprising" at Allegheny College, spring of 1988.Comment

Not a stupid thing at all (except on the part of the crims who repeatedly tried to rob him), but similar in essence to this post - I just recently heard about Lance Thomas in a magazine article. I reckon he'd make a pretty cool NPCOriginally posted by Adm.Lee View Post

When I see a British or German APC I half expect it to have beer and cigarette dispensers on the sides.

Allied Forces Headquarters (WWII Mediterranean Theater) was famous for a number of surveys, seeking to identify ways to improve the lot of the common soldier as well as providing gainful employment to its thousands of REMFs.
One of more REMF moments was the idea to have soldiers write an essay on "Why I'm Fighting"...the winner would get a five day pass to Algiers. The winning essay, in its entirety: "I was drafted."
source was The Liberation Trilogy" by Rick AtkinsonThe reason that the American Army does so well in wartime, is that war is chaos, and the American Army practices chaos on a daily basis.Comment

Man's arm partially severed in chainsaw attack
It wasn't me, I swear!
What, knives, pistols and baseball bats not enough to be concerned"Where people start arming themselves with chainsaws and other weapons, it's certainly a concern for the police."
Maybe they thought they were in a zombie move
If it moves, shoot it, if not push it, if it still doesn't move, use explosives.

the has to be a good story behind these ones. they're too specific for someone to have just thought them up without someone actually doing it.(and number 8 sounds painful)Originally posted by dragoon500ly View Postthe best course of action when all is against you is to slow down and think critically about the situation. this way you are not blindly rushing into an ambush and your mind is doing something useful rather than getting you killed.Comment
