  1. +1. Having the camera crews around continually reminds the colonists that it's a TV show. It's interaction with the outside world that damages the experiment.
  2. Keep in mind that the colonists all still know it's a TV show and not real. Anyone they encounter is scripted for them to encounter, and they know it. They just have to decide if the producers are sending them friend or foe. Michel and logger-girl were accepted in pretty quickly once it was apparent they were meant to be part of the group, and not just passing marauders/beggars/traders. They just moved more quickly with Tick. The fact that he's even there means the producers put him there. It was pretty clear that he could have had his way with them, but didn't. So they read "intentionaly here" + "helping us now" + "has skills this group is seriously lacking" = "friend". Look on the bright side. They finally cut down the stairs to the upstairs.... Though I suspect those were a second set of stairs, or from another house. Too inconvenient to cut out the stairs they actually use.
  3. That wasn't a chick. Just a euro-dude with man-boobs. Oh....you mean the 2nd rider.
  4. Ahead of its time. Water Slide Does Full Loop Granted, the German one has a slight angle to one side, so it's not a true loop, but it's pretty close. Sorry for a video with a dude in a speedo.
  5. The walking dude is Leonardo DiCaprio. Leo Strut | Know Your Meme The OP needs paint huffer dude in his Warriors shirt to be complete.
  6. The question still remains as to whether or not charges would stick if agents (employees) of the posted establishment denied visibility of the sign(s). Of course that assumes that the establishment owner is such an anti that he/she'd press charges. I'd guess that the odds are pretty good that a manager would just inform the person of the policy and ask them to leave. It's bad for business to make a big scene.
  7. Uselton's in Franklin beside the Toyota dealership (behind Whitt's) is the closest that I know of. He does have a nice range, but you'll pay a lot for it, and for the gun rentals, and for the mandatory range ammo. http://www.useltonindoorshootingsports.com/ Personally, I'd take the time to drive up to see the fellas at Guns and Leather in Greenbrier. http://www.gunsandleather.com/ You could also catch 840 around to Murfreesboro to On Target. I've never shot there, but it's probably closer to you than Greenbrier. Indoor Shooting Range Firearms & Concealed Carry Permit Classes - Murfreesboro, TN - On Target Indoor Gun Range Whichever way you go, I'd call and ask about any specific rentals that you're interested in.
  8. I've asked around on several websites, including here, about the difference in the P-22 short and long barrel. Everyone says go with the short one. The 5" barrel doesn't add any accuracy according to the responses I've seen. Of course every shooter is different, so YMMV. And +1 on the P-22 for fun. Anyone with (or considering) a P-22 should read a great writeup from a guy going by the name 1917-1911M. His discoveries about the internals of this gun have resulted in some of the modifications made at the factory. http://www.freespeech.com/1917-1911M_P22_bible.pdf
  9. As stated on the other thread, name brand or price don't have much to do with tread life. A cheaper off-brand tire can last longer than an expensive premium brand. But tread life is only a part of a tire's performance. There's also speed rating, wet traction, dry traction, noise, ride comfort, and ice/snow/mud/offroad traction. Check the UTQG code on tires you're looking at. It will show you a number for the tread life, then two leters for speed and temperature ratings. The tread life doesn't mean how many miles you'll get, but it's more of a relative number. A 200 tire will get half the miles of a 400 tire. On one car, that could be 20K and 40K. On another car that could be 35K and 70K. As for the factory tires not holding up, it's because most car manufacturers now use tires with a low tread life number to cut costs. My Mazda 3 came with some Goodyear Eagle RS-A tires that were banana peels by 18K. Not a cheap tire at about $150 ea, just a low tread life. I've always liked www.tirerack.com. They have a good selector tool for your vehicle's year/make/model and then you can sort by what properties are important to you. +1 on Michelins. You'll usually pay more for them, but they're great tires all around. Performance and tread life is usually excellent.
  10. I wondered what "milf woman" means in the Balkans, so I Googled it.
  11. You missed out on a lot of hotties. The Vandy/Belmont crowd was out in force on a warm summer evening. D3vo and Terry got the good seats. tntnixon and I had a view of dudes washing dishes....
  12. I just got home. It was a real fun time. Sorry you guys missed it. The food was good and the service was too. I'll be back as long as it stays unposted. The manager dude from the WSMV video wasn't there. I'll send an e-mail instead.

  14. I know, I know, gun ban,blah blah... Chicago. From Nashville, it's usually one of the cheapest places to fly. And Southwest has non-stops. I'd say catch a Cubs game, but they never play in October. Keep an eye on the following. Deals are released each week on Wednesday. You can sign up for an email alert. http://www.travelzoo.com/top20/ http://www.shermanstravel.com/top25
  15. I'm in a dark brown short-sleeved polo. D3vo is in a grey long-sleeved polo Terry_Frymire is wearing his TGO baseball cap. We're all over 6' tall, so we should be easy to find. I'll get a table for 6 based on the responses so far. If you're not on the list below and want to come then please respond and let me know so we can have a spot for you. "I'll try" is close enough to get on the list. So far I have reserved seats for me D3vo Terry_Frymire tntnixon and maybes on Buzz87 6.8 AR
  16. It used to be a place called 'Lil Cee's at Douglas and Jones. Don't know if that's still it or not.
  17. A little help locating it? I don't see any related threads.
  18. Easy. We'll be the ones with the guns making our server poop his pants. Seriously though, I'll post here tomorrow what me, D3vo, and Terry_Frymire are wearing (we all work together). That should make it easy to find us.
  19. During the early days following the May floods, I was able to borrow a 5500W generator from a friend until the main power came back online. It was extremely useful and post-flood cleanup would have been much more diffciult without being able to power up lights at night, fans all the time, and recharge battery-packs for tools. I plan on buying one for myself now, but the large ones in a frame on wheels (like the 5500W Craftsman) would have to reside in my garage. If it had been in my garage, it would have been flooded and may not have worked when I needed it. So I've been looking at some of the smaller ones like the Honda 2000W and 3000W series. Even with all the stuff I had going, I never taxed the 5500W. A neighbor was running pretty much his whole house excpet the HVAC on an 8000W. The Honda ones are supposed to be super quiet (45-55 db) which could be important in an SHTF to not announce to the zombies that I have a genny. They're also small enough that I can keep them upstairs in an attic storage area, so no flood problem. I think a 2K or 3K would do th normal 6hr to 3 day power outages we have around TN from ice/snow, or the occasional tornado. I have a gas fireplace, so I don't need to run space heaters in a winter outage. Natural gas grill for cooking. I'd mostly just want it for some lights, the fridge, TV, and a PC/cable modem. So, does anyone have experience with the small generators (Honda or others)? Good or bad?
  20. Didn't any of these people watch Season 1 before applying for the role? The windmill is like the radio broadcast sign from Season1. DOH! And as far as knowing where they live? Just look for the building with the lights on at night. S1 folks had an easier area to secure and maintain. They also had more/better qualified people and more/better stuff. I seem to recall that the attacks on S1 came later in the season, giving the participants more time to (a) secure their stuff and ( begin the psychological process of moving from TV show cast member to survivor. S2 folks have some serious disadvantages with their location, supplies/equipment, staffing (both quantity and quality), and how early they're facing the outsiders. They do have more group cohesiveness though. Less bickering...but it's still early.
  21. You're right. I forgot Win7 was also offered in 32-bit.
