A U.S. Marine Colonel was about to start the morning briefing to his staff. While waiting for the coffee machine to finish brewing, the colonel decided to pose a question to all assembled. He explained that his wife had been a bit frisky the night before and he failed to get his usual amount of sound sleep. He posed the question of just how much of sex was "work" and how much of it was "pleasure?" A Major chimed in with 75%-25% in favor of work. A Captain said it was 50%-50%. A Lieutenant responded with 25%-75% in favor of pleasure, depending upon his state of inebriation at the time. There being no consensus, the colonel turned to the Private First Class who was in charge of making the coffee and asked for his opinion? Without any hesitation, the young Private First Class responded, "Sir, it has to be 100% pleasure. The colonel was surprised and as you might guess, asked why? "Well, sir, if there was any work involved, the officers would have me doing it for them." The room fell silent. God Bless the enlisted man.

Yesterday I became an NRA life member! I shot my .223 Wylde AR that I built for the first time! And I picked up a Daniel Defense DDMV4 that I won. Despite this being my first AR build (and my first AR ever owned), the gun ran like a champ. I only put 30 rounds through it because I was on my lunch break, but I'm very pleased! I didn't shoot the DD yet. I'll play with it this weekend, but I don't think it's going to be as nice of a shooter as my build, but it sure is pretty to look at in Tornado Grey.

I don't even like having the dealership sticker on my cars.

Got this from another hunting site. Pretty funny, but sad actually, that this is what we are dealing with.

I wish it were so Greg, I really do.

Shameless plug... one of the nice things that I intentionally designed into the TGO decals is the fact that at a casual glance, they don't look like a gun-related decal. There are so many Tennessee tri-star decals out there that people just see it as one of those unless they are really paying attention.

It's funny, because it's true.

My car has zero stickers on it. I want to be invisible when I drive or I'm parked somewhere.

Who cares? It's a beautiful CZ. Just buy it.

--- most of first paragraph redacted. I realized after reading the responses while NOT doing a dozen other things that I believe I missed the sarcasm font on a couple responses. My apologies!--- Disagree with their choice in musical direction versus your personal taste, cool. I don't really like the Beatles very much. There. I said it, haha! More than the fact that I am a big fan of all their music (seriously... all of their music. Even St Anger has grown on me through the years!) I am SO over this election and these absolute turdsacks of candidates we have left at the bottom of the trash pile. Johnson too. And that's hard for me to say. I truly believe one has to be mentally ill to enthusiastically support any current candidate. Please note I said ENTHUSIASTICALLY SUPPORT. I understand the "well, this one's less spawn-of-satan-pure-evil than the other" argument. I don't begrudge anyone for feeling that way. I'm feeling just about hopeless with politics right now. This shirt feels like all I can do. Even more than how much I love Metallica, I dislike what's going on and this is my statement of dissent, er whatever.

That's what blew my mind. I'd rather completely strip an AR than completely strip any of my pistols, especially the Ruger Mark 3.

I wear a watch all the time but more for the day and date than the time. Comes in handy for keeping appointments than any thing else. Last one I bought cost $14.00 at Walgreens 12 years ago.

I just spit coffee on my monitor....................Was not expecting the Privates answer at all but he was correct...............

did in fact laugh out load at this one

Me too! I gave the dealership thousands for the car... not to be their driving advertisement. I make that part of the deal when I buy a car. If there is any dealer sticker/emblem on the vehicle, it must be removed before I pay for it.

This has no bearing to the greenies, there is still a shortage of poor polar bears, many of whom have to struggle to find a piece of ice to hunt from. Pay no mind to the ships getting stuck in the ice either. More money, that will help! Oh, and corn in your gas, need more of that too.

Beautiful gun, got this pic from Brian's ....credit to the owner. Got to be one of the best modified Sports I ever laid eyes on.....Accurate Art...If I buy one who can help me make it like this? I want this pistol ....Chopped dust cover ?

Ladies and Gentlemen, as promised the TGO Godsons will happen this year, I can tell you now the price will be $225.00 shipped, they will be just like their Big Brother only smaller, at the same time I will be doing a Badass Blades Godson slightly different than the TGO one, the reason I have had several people ask me to do a Badass Blades one and this meets Protechs schedule of materials needed they will also be $225.00 shipped and not only sold here on TGO but elsewhere,

Haha. At least they didn't kill a T-rex. Those are really rare. It's scary to think about some of the people we share the planet with.

I'm in Columbia. I have no problem with talking to you about reloading and have several manuals for reference, but I am not liable for any loads that may be developed.

HOLY CRAP!!! I was muttering that in my head on the way home from shooting!!!

I too was making a distinction of the perpetrator. In this case, the US government. So yes, i agree it wouldn't make any sense that the US gov would deploy military assets against another arm of itself for engaging in acts of terrorism against the US populace.

As am I.

I use my phone as a watch these days when I'm not at my desk using the PC. Sadly as a working stiff with a seldom varied schedule, I can about tell you the time of day down to the quarter hour based entirely on what chore I happen to be in the midst of

Maybe that'll be enough to keep liberals from relocating to here.

I hate Comcast. No no... I LOATHE Comcast. I hate their support, I hate their ever changing bill. I hate their misc fees. I hate their on site service. I hate their ever changing acceptable use policy, I even hate people that I know who work for them. Outside of that, the service itself isn't bad. The X1 package is pretty slick. Just don't expect them to ever handle your account properly. I currently have 2 Comcast accounts. I don't know why, they can't explain why and they can't seem to get rid of the second one. They charged me for a set-top box for 3 years that I didn't have. I had to get a replacement DVR and they sent me 4 and said I needed to pay a month for them as well as the cost to ship them back. I use my own modem and for whatever reason, they won't delete my old ones. If I call in for an issue I have to grill the rep to verify they are checking the correct modem. You can expect almost every call to get a Philippine female who reads from the script and knows almost nothing about basic networking. If you ask for a manager, they are usually transferring the call to the gal in the seat next to them who doesn't provide any more insight. A few rules of thumb 1.) When it comes to equipment, try to deal with your local office. The people on the phone will screw it up EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. 2.) You're going to be paying your bill a month in advance. Don't let their website fool you. If it says your bill is $300, you probably only owe $150 for the month you used 3.) Escalate immediately. I find its best if you can get someone in billing. They seem to have just as much capability as the phone rep, and they can work on your account 4.) If you have problems, you can pretty well get a $20 credit on every call. You'll need it because your bill will change on the wind. Just say "I want some compensation" and they'll usually give it to you. 5.) NEVER TAKE THE DEAL. If they tell you about some package that is going to give you more and cost you less....there are strings attached. Usually it's for 6 months, maybe even less and then your bill will skyrocket 6.) Sometimes they will offer you something like 1 year of free HBO to make you feel like you're getting something of value. It's a lie, I've been through this 3 times and the billing people have told me over and over that the MOST they can even give is 3 months. A lot of those reps will lie to get you off the phone. There's no accountability for the reps, I've tried to get them in trouble and the lies just keep coming. 7.) Contrary to #5, Threaten to cancel with Billing and billing only at least once a year. You'll suddenly pay less and have better service. It's never permanent but you can relax for awhile. 8.) ALWAYS check your bill. it will change (already said this, but it's important enough to mention again) 9.) Buy your own modem/router. They charge you monthly for a crap modem and a crap router. Ask @BigK. I moved him to an AC router and his signal strenght went through the roof! 10.) Always remember this video (bad language)

All guns are always loaded.

I remove them.

Very much this. His lyrics speak to me, more so than any other band I listen to. I'm an unashamed fanboy, St. Anger is great. The raw emotion in songs like Unnamed Feeling appeal to me. It's very personal. For whatever reason, my ear has always followed the rhythm lines. I certainly appreciate solos but when the rhythm section is locked in and cooking, that's where it's at. I tried to play bass at first but switched to guitar because my fingers were way too short. And I'm a total hack. I can read music (former band geek) but tab books are the best I can do. I'd love to be able to just kinda play whatever's in my head, but haven't ever been able to pull that off. I took lessons for a while and really enjoyed it but life got in the way. Maybe I'll make my rock star bid when the kids are grown...

At YOUR house, duh!

Ain't that a fact!

This is interesting. TFA members went to Chilhowee park to gather evidence in an effort to prevent their lawsuit against the city from being thrown out. KPD complied by threatening arrest. http://www.knoxnews.com/news/crime-courts/police-promise-to-arrest-violators-of-gun-ban-at-tennessee-valley-fair-3c68160f-66ce-4b6f-e053-01000-393343221.html

I knew "climate change" was probably the cause. Does it never get old?

The watch MrsMonkey showed is nice...even if that strap is fugly. Not sure I'd ever buy it, but I can appreciate it from an aesthetic and mechanical standpoint. Speaking of aesthetics and mechanics in a watch, this is what I wear in rotation with its little brother (another Omega from the 90s), and a somewhat "tactical" watch that I need to get serviced.

And I'm a bass player too, and dabble in guitar as well. Here's some of the collection

I'm happy with my Citizen Eco-DrIve.

I knew one of us would crank up ! Bass player here....

So you missed the target completely with the other 9 shots? Bummer.....

Friedman is a freak of nature, but Mustaine is an absolute monster in his own right. Keep in mind he plays some fairly complex stuff and does it while singing, often in different time signatures for vocals and guitars. I always preferred Hammet though, people like to rag on him now, but people forget at the time he was doing some real cool stuff and incorporating techniques that lots of people saw as mutually exclusive. I have heard it posited (and I agree) that if you can learn the first three albums you are well set for learning anything from classic rock, classical, country et al. Not that you would be PROFICIENT in them, but it would be pretty easy to build off that skill set in many directions musically. Hetfield, dude is a machine, writing and playing. His rhythm is scary good for someone who never learned alternate picking . I kid, any rock band would be thankful to have someone help hold things down the way he can, plus he can write, plus he can sing. Dude is an MVP IMO. MettalicA was the first band I actually thought spoke to me musically and lyrically, everything else up to then was just bubble gum, not that theres anything wrong with that either, but they opened the door for me and showed me music was much more than just background noise.

Nope, what he did was perfectly legal. Motorcycles are not required to wait indefinitely at a malfunctioning traffic light. The next step is to call the local dot office and report it. The sensitivity of some lights can be adjusted. And weight of the vehicle has nothing to do with it. The sensors are magnetic, so an aluminum intensive motorcycle won't activate the sensor regardless of how much it weighs.

Make sure to stop in Texas and wash all of that communist filth off your stuff before entering the state. Then you will be welcomed here more than you expected. In this magical land, you can almost own anything you want. No more bullet buttons to thwart training, no more discrimination on your guns based on their race or color. You can burn #### in your yard if you want, and rest easy because the majority of your neighbors will be heavily armed as well (even if they tell you they're not). Welcome!

I BOS isn’t required by law; but you do have legal requirements. I can only sell to residents of this state and people that are of age; that is required by law and violating that can lead to my arrest. I can’t sell to a person that I know to be a felon; but the law gives me no way to check that other than asking them. If it should later become an issue of whether or not I knew; I have some support. If I don’t know the person I like to have a BOS showing I did what I could reasonably do to meet that requirement. I don’t need to know their address and they don’t need to know mine. So I found a BOS on the net and modified it. It was a short statement saying you are of age, a Tennessee resident, and can legally own a firearm. All the form has is our names and phone numbers with the firearm serial numbers. That’s all that’s needed. I am also concerned with stolen firearms; I hate a thief. If a seller balks at a BOS; I walk. I mean let’s get real here….. If you buy or sale a weapon the other person will at the very least have an email address, should have a telephone number and probably a license plate number. Should an issue arise and the cops get involved; that info will identify you. This is what I use….

If I see bill of sale I immediately lose interest. I'll gladly show you my valid HCP and I'll also ask for yours, but other then that, all I'll be willing to part with is my cash. I understand CYA and what not, but I also don't think you need my address, phone, license number, blood type or anything else. That's why we meet in the Bass Pro Parking Lot. Heck, once Monkey and I even went in shopping with a member we met, I got 2 machetes. Totally normal.

I have been telling people since Obamacare passed that it seems the ultimate goal is to make everyone hate whatever insurance they have so that the people will beg the government to swoop in and save us all. Every time I have to deal with insurance, it reaffirms my belief.

That's why you wait for sales and buy in bulk. I caught FLC M80 on sale for $9.99 per 20rd box a while back, so I bought 1,000 rounds...

I own a lot of AR's but only have 2 AK's so far. The Zastava M92 PAP is my go to weapon at home. You just can't beat the size, knockdown power for CQB, and the fact that it has more mag capacity than most pistols (Glocks, etc.). It's also serving as a backup vehicle gun. Biggest reason for that is because it's smaller than an AR15 pistol and if it got stolen, it would be easier to swallow losing a $500 AK versus a $2,000+ Mega pistol with all the high end parts.
