 January 8, 2011 - 6:00pm | Wife goes out to the car unlocks it and starts it, leaving her purse inside and somehow locks the door while she cleans the snow off. Why she didn't put the kids in first so they wouldn't be standing around in the cold, I dont know. Oh yeah those were the only set of keys. Give you three guess who's wrong and the first two don't count. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
 January 13, 2011 - 4:18pm | As a card carrying member of the NRA, I can assure you there is nothing in their literature (which, pertaining to kids and guns, can fill chapters if not books) that says it's okay for a kid to keep guns in his/her room. In short, they advocate safety devices like trigger guards, bore locks (a cable lock that goes through the open chamber and barrel), locked cases, and safes for the "family environment"...with no keys/combinations issued to the children. Simple fact is most (if not all) states have minimum age requirements to purchase firearms and ammunition (typically 18 or 21). It's that age that the NRA says is okay for a kid to "keep a gun in his/her room"...meaning when the kid comes of age. The rank and file of the NRA's sane, decent people. No argument there. But only the radicals get press. I apologize for the sarcastic comment concerning said radicals. Bottom line, we all agree that a ten year old kid keeping loaded firearms in his room was a good of an idea, as allowing a serial arsonist to hold your Zippo. Nuff said. Back to the show.

Let him not breed in great numbers, for he will make a desert of his home and yours. Shun him; drive him back into his jungle lair, for he is the harbinger of death." |
 January 13, 2011 - 5:15pm | No apology needed, I was merely pointing out what the purported stance is (and probably should have said that too)...many people purport themselves to represent something that never shared their ideals as well. Certain politicians --- and more notably their supporters --- hide behind the Constitution, something that they have never actually read or digested. Klansmen wave the Confederate Flag, which was never flown as a racist measure when it was a recognized banner. You see it everywhere, and all too often the media exploits such falacies as truth. |

September 13, 2011 - 8:27pm | Me, "I'm just trying to talk to you like a reasonable and rational human being." Wife, who has a long history of contradicting anything I say, "I'm not rational!"

November 13, 2011 - 3:11pm | Wife gets $300 in tickets and the car towed last night but its not her fault. Somehow, its the husband's fault and the cops fault but not hers. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
November 13, 2011 - 5:12pm | Of course. The cop should have been sitting in the open and you should have stopped her from driving like a maniac.

 November 13, 2011 - 6:33pm | Jedi, sounds like you and I need to go on a long hunting trip somewhere. Get out in the middle of God's wilderness, sit around a camp fire for a few days and maybe shoot our own meals. I've found that it always improves my spirits...until the trip ends anyway. And of course, it allows you to legally shoot something. |
 November 13, 2011 - 6:44pm | Inigo, if your interested were planning some G3 trips next year. Appalachian's Grand Canyon Somewhere north of Tronto Canada. Guns, guts and game! |
November 13, 2011 - 7:46pm | I'd be interested in that. As long as you aren't talking about Appalachia Deliverance style.  |
November 14, 2011 - 5:43am | Either a hunting trip or a convention trip, I think either would have the same effect up until they end. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |

November 14, 2011 - 1:04pm | The only other males in my house are the cat and the dog and I don't much like the dog. Sadly, it looks like Historicon is moving to Fredericksberg VA and my gaming club has opted to not attend under that circumstance plus my oldest will be having surgery next summer and I thought she could use a trip to Disney before her summer gets turned upside down so likelihood of Dad spending time or money on himself are low, though if we're going to be in Florida a day spent at the alligator farm will be a treat for Dad.(I have fond memories of the place and would love to take the kids) I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
November 14, 2011 - 6:03pm | Spooning in the woods with guys and a bunch of bugs and spiders isn't my idea of a vacation.  I never saw Brokeback Mountain and I definitely don't want to experience it or Deliverance.  Besides, I'm like a gourmet buffet for mosquitos.View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write. "It's yo' mama!" —Wicket W. Warrick, Star Wars Ep.

 November 14, 2011 - 9:30pm | If you go to the Grand Canyon and dont stop over for a visit with either me or Shadow, I will be very very dissappointed |
November 15, 2011 - 6:21am | I'm not a big fan of the canyon (or spooning guys either, btw). The first time at the south and the north rim were good, but once you have seen it, you begin to realize that it's just a really big hole in the ground. After being stuck in the AZ high desert for a year, it's not my favorite place. Though Flagstaff might be appealing. However, the focus of guy time isn't all about the scenery so I am game for just about any trip short of Boy's Town or the LA ghetto's. |
November 15, 2011 - 10:07am | Don't knock the LA ghettos, you can find some talented gangsta gals there. Further north...San Francisco --- different story. The hookers there don't wear mini skirts for a reason: when they bend over you can see their 'nads. |

Eeeewww, I wish I could unread that post! Now I have a horrible mental picture struck in my brain. I don't know what's worst, that or the last fat hooker I saw who bent over to pick something up and and show ed more crack above her belt then what's in Harlem and when she stood up had a whole roll of fat lapping over her pats and peeking out from under her too short shirt.I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
November 16, 2011 - 6:54am | Enough talk about the h-bomb, you all. Bill is probbably having a heart attack right now as his kids ask him all sorts of odd questions about Shadow Shack, street walkers and worker's rights. And w00t, well he's short circuiting right now. He blows a gasket if anything goes above a G rating. We're going to have to send him in for repairs. Hmm. This time I think we'll upgrade his software to Fembot 4-1UV.  View my profile for a list of articles I have written, am writing, will write. "It's yo' mama!" —Wicket W. Warrick, Star Wars Ep.

December 30, 2011 - 3:34pm | Not sure exactly why I'm wrong today. Was taking the kids to the Children's Museum and took them to eat first since I didn't have time to go home and cook. It was 3pm and the spouse had not fed them lunch yet. At any rate I had 3a glasses of wine with dinner to adjust my mood and forget why I was pissed at the spouse. Funny thing, I'm at the museum and its packed to the gills crowded (because of no school to day) and I don't even mind the crowd, normally I hate crowds, must be the wine. Can't even remember why I was pissed at the wife. This could be a recipe for any kind of counciling. Don't like your in laws: have three glasses of wine. Spouse is pissing you off: have three glasses of wine. Forced to stand in a crowd: have three glasses of wine. I could write a freaking book: Councilling with a Bottle of Wine.

December 30, 2011 - 5:21pm | About to drive the kids to the Children's Museum? Have 3 glasses of wine??? I'd like to put smileys with that, but I can't. I'm sure I misread it somehow.

Dude, I live in a city and use public transit. And we went for dinner five blocks from the museum and I have a wt problem so while I always obey a self enforced rule of one hour wait per drink and never have more than two if driving I'm quite alright with three glasses. I'd like to put smileys with that, but I can't. I'm sure I misread it somehow. I might not be a dralasite, vrusk or yazirian but I do play one in Star Frontiers! |
December 30, 2011 - 7:38pm | Personally, I find scotch more therapeutic. However, I can't get this with my prescription card and it's a bit pricey. Worse, it really gets my wife's ire up when she smells it. |
December 30, 2011 - 8:52pm | Ah, public transit explains it. I've forgotten what it's like to have good public transit since I moved back to my home city, which has one of the worst transit systems in the country.
