Feeling argumentative today Daniel? Or maybe just inflammatory?

Just bfore this blows up beyond all comprehension (again) I'd just like to point out that Stephen Hawking is a THEORETICAL physicist. He devises possible THEORIES based on what little evidence is available to him. He neither poses nor presents his theories as fact. Can all the creationists please remeber this. He never (& to the best of my knowledge, no other Theoretical Physicist has either) claims any of his ideas to be impirical truths. The argument of creation vs. Big Bang/evolution will never be more than an argument between to theroetical possibilities. One based on Scientific principals that cannot be proven, the other based on a book that could easily be a work of fiction.

Who is she & where do I get one?

This'll make you do something childish in yer under britches then......

While Salma is the almost perfect Woman (Face, figure, lung mittens, attitude, lung mittens, persnality, lung mittens) Ifyou're talking about sexy Mexies, you just cannot ignore the beauty that is Nadine Velazquez. Best reason there is to watch My Name is Earl......

Edited to prevent my own banning.....

If you're going to be mostly going after skwerls, I would definatley go with a .22LR There are so many makes & models available you can outfit yourself for very little outlay. You don't need fancy (or, indeed, any) optics for squirrels. Most of your shots will be well under 20yds so a scope can be more hinderance than help. Bulk Wally World ammo at around $18 for 550 rounds are more than adequate. I personally wouldn't use .22LR on a fox. I think it's just waaay to light. A .22WMR is a great fox/coyote round as long as you understand the limitations (100yds is about out as far as I'd want to get) A .22 mag carries roughly the same energy at 100yds as a .22LR does at the muzzle. Put one through the lungs of a fox or 'yote & it won't go far. I'm not a geat fan of the .17 Many folks see it as the 'magical' do-all small game round, but they're comapratively expensive, are very badly affected by the wind & have a tendency (on occasion) to fragment on impact giving little to no penetration. They're perfect for taking head shots on rabbit sized game & will completely vaporise a squirrel, if body shot so I can't really recommend them for squirrels If I were you, I'd look into picking up a cheap, used .22LR for the tree-rats & a reasonably cheap WMR for the bigger stuff. My personal armory is a Winchester Wildcat in .22LR (Superbly accurate littl bolt-gun) & a Marlin 882 in .22WMR Both cost under $200 (The Wildcat was brand new, the Marlin used) plus te cost of a half-decent scope for the Marlin. Obviously, you're milage may vary

Well a buddy of mine & I have spent the last 3 days scouting out possible fields & onething I can say with a certainty, this is definately a yearto be hunting over Sunflowers if you can. We've seen very few birds over shelled corn & almost none over top-sown wheat (Most of which, I think, was sown a week too early for Doves) Every Sunflower field we've scouted has been covered up with birds. Bark Camp Barrens in Coffee Co. is looking like it'll be the hot ticket. Sunflowers & Millet have the birds going nuts over there. We'll be there at about 7am tomorrow I reckon!

Maybe look into Traditional archery. A recurve or longbow is a great hunting tool. Lightweight & easy to carry & you can certainly be profficient in a year. To be honest, it's a lot more fun that shooting with the wheels on! You don't need half the 'must have' gadgets, just a simple stick & string, a well matched arrow (wood, carbon or alloy, all are good!) & you're good to go! Yes, you're limiting your range to 20yds max (or so) but that's where th adrenaline really kicks in. I don't even begin to get a buzz these days until the animal's within 20yds. Keep it simple & don't believe a thing you see on any of the hunting shows! Two weeks? Really? It ain't that easy! I can take 2 or 3 months to get a bow & arrow combination properly tuned. Learning to shoot & shoot well cannot be learned in 2 months, let a lone a couple of weeks!

Is a 'girl's bike' also called a 'Menstrual cycle'? Sorry.

"If I ever get shot with a .25 & I find out about it, I'll be seriously upset!" "A small caliber pistol is worse than useless for self defense" "Birdshot won't stop an attacker" "Overkill" (What is 'underkill'??)

All you Boddington's drinkers. Where 're you finding 'The Boddies'? One of the few beers, not made by Theakstons, that I used to love. Tonight I am mostly drinking 'shine. Soory for the sperling mistoked..

Weeeeeeee!!!!! Permit came in today's mail! Anyone ever hunted Catoosa before? It looks like a bloody big place to find a place for a stand! While I'm here, who'll be hunting with what & how? I'm thinking I may still-hunt (on the ground) with my frontstuffer.

Probably fake, but funny as hell!!!

"I'm pink, therefore I'm spam"

I don't mean to argue, but unless your Bobcat has a stainless barrel (I don't think they do, but I'm not very familiar with the gun) I really wuldn't use boiling water to clean it. Boiling water can cause the barrel to 'flash' rust when it dries. Your best bet is to remove the barrel from the stock, remove the nipple & submerge the breech end in a bucket of cool/warm water with just a little dish-soap added. Put a cleaning patch on the jag & pump it up & down the barrel for 20 or 30 strokes. The patch will suction the water up the barrel through the flash hole & squirt it out the same way. Once you've done that, change the water for clean, warm tap water, change your patch & re-clean until the water runs out of the barrel clean & clear. Dry the barrel well, with 6 or 7 dry patches, changing after each run down & up the barrel. Make sure the barrel is completely dry. I hold the breech of all my frontstuffers over a stove until they're too hot to touch to make sure th flash channel & patent breech are dry. Then, liberally oil the barrel. I use a cleaning patch saturated in Rem-oil & then store te rifle muzzle DOWN so the excess oil doesn't run into the flash channel. Next day, run a fresh patch down the bore & check for rust. Make sure you swab the barrel with an alcohol patch before you re-load the gun though! It sounds like a lot of work, but in reality it takes me less than 10 minutes to fully clean my caplock. One thing I will say is DON'T USE HOPPES No 9!!! When Hoppes mixes with the residue from Pyrodex/777 the mixture is very, very caustic & can ruin a barrel in minutes! To be honest, the absolute best thing you can do for the gun is to get hold of some real black powder (Bass Pro carry it, but you have to ask. It's not on the shelves) It's easier to clean, non corrosive, cheaper & ignites much faster than the substitutes.

Looks a lot like 28 Days Later. Gotta be worth a look at though.

Sorry guys, looks like I'm not gonna make this one Gotta go hang some stands & clear out some lanes at the hunting lease. IT's the only day this month that all 4 of us can get there. I'll definately be there next month though!

Look at the size of that guy's muscles!!!! . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Proof positive that it's really hard work beeing that queer.

Gotta love the release of seratonin & endorphins. It'll make you believe anything.

I wish I could claim citizenship I'm here on an E2 investment visa. I need to renew it in April (when it becomes a 5 year, rather than a 2 year) I doubt if I'll ever be able to apply for citizenship, other than through the Green Card Lottery. It kills me, but unless you have immediate famiy that are US Citizens, or Marry a US Citizen it's almost impossible to get citizenship if you come here legally.

Well, Jason Statham's always good for a violent giggle, especially in 'Snatch' As a kid, Ken Dodd used to haveme in stitches. I still remember watching TV the night he died on stage. Bill Nighy seems a little one-dimensional to me, but Gary Oldman's fantastic in everything he's in. Tim Roth, as far as I'm concerned, is one of England's finest actors. I still can't take Hugh Laurie seriously in 'House' after watching him play the Prince in 'Blackadder' Oh, speaking of which, Tim Robinson is fantastic as Baldric Hugh Grant should be shot. Foppish simpering tosser* that he is . . . . *Tosser; see - Wanker.

LOL! The wife's from 'ull! We used to live about 20 minutes from Hull city centre. Little town called Market Weighton (If you remember it at all) Worst place on God's green earth. Hull was actually voted as England's worst place to live in 2008. A month livin in the city would drive me to murder, especially since it's now become a province of Romania/Bosnia/Poland.

Thought it was, thanks man!

There'd better be an invisible smiley after that.....It's a lot more offensive than you think it is.
