  1. Makes me wonder how g-ma never burned down half of west Texas with her old burn-barrel she kept out behind the house.
  2. And all the federales say, this thread should really go away.....
  3. Cam's missing the mark yet again. In this mercenary age of one-and-done portal kids, culture becomes even MORE important. You have to have something to keep these kids around. You have to be able to offer something beyond NIL deals. That's what Stark is trying to do. Yes, Texas has boosters - as all big schools have. It's a delicate dance these days. Tech has boosters. Indiana has boosters. They all have millions upon millions at their disposal. So why are so many ag kids leaving? They have the boosters. It's because of the staff, the school, and the atmosphere around the team.
  4. Bless your hearts might be more appropriate on this thread
  5. Not saying they're going to repeat, just that they are not going to just fade into Bolivian
  6. They'll reload as many top teams do - it's their QB play that I want to see
  7. Heard nothing but good things. Such a pistol would be so wasted on my "meh" accuracy with a pistol. Even my Sig 1911 is more accurate than I am.....;)
  8. I think we've all used weird items when the need is there. I once caped a doe with a little red Swiss army knife I had on my keychain because the little blade was so sharp. Also used a kitchen knife once. My favorite are small Rapala fishing knives. Super sharp and they resharpen easily.
  9. Meh, Zuck is a cuck, but at his stratosphere, somebody probably just handed him a bow they made for him, taught him how to draw and fire, and set him up on some canned hunt.
  10. Hey fucker, DM's are private.....
  11. Apparently the cartels have a few of these puttering around.
  12. I kid, I kid. It does beg the obvious question about actors that have stood up multiple franchises with multiple movies and done them equally well Stallone - Rocky, Rambo, Expendables Ford - Indiana Jones and Han Solo Arnold - Terminator & Conan Tom Cruise - Too many to count Keanu - John Wick and The Matrix I'm sure there are others
  13. Saw once - dang......so clean
  14. Yeah, I'd assume that it takes a few years in the pipeline just to be able to be a firefighter, here or abroad. Then you actually start doing the job. He could also apply his intellect at any number of non-profit agencies/shelters. He won't make much money, but it can scratch the itch.
  15. Does he know any firefighters? Half our family on the wife's side are in or retired FF's. They see some gnarly shit. It's not for everyone. One friend of the family saw his first family disaster involving fatalities and that was it. He was done. For many it's a calling, so I might have the candid conversation about whether this is you scratching the itch to serve, or is this something you can see yourself doing for an extended period of time. It's also very competitive. More and more are leaning this route vs LEO or military, so check up on who you are competing against.
  16. He has a gig
  17. You new here? It's like our thing....
  18. Flight to Vietnam years back - I'm tucked in and this sweet Asian woman and her very little girl take the seats next to me. I'm thinking fuck my life.....that little girl was the sweetest little thing ever. Never cried. Just sang, colored, read books, slept well. Had a few moments, but nothing wild. Mom didn't speak much English, but I think she got how amazing her little girl was when I was complimenting them both. Fast forward to a flight to Sweden - SIX screaming kids just in our section of the plane. One kid was in serious pain and mom's took turns holding and rocking this poor little dude. I fly quite a bit and I can honestly say I've never seen any type of blowup or altercation either on the plane or at the gate other than sometimes people bringing food that stinks up the place. Fingers crossed.....
  19. What's wild, is these early gas-operated rifles and how they operate have changed very little through the ages. Like most rifles, we are primarily seeing just advances in construction material and calibers. Take that rifle, shorten the barrel, add a high-capacity mag, and mount optics - and any competent QRC team could clear a house or take a target with it. They won't love it. It's heavier and probably not as robust in the field, but at it's core, it's not that different.
  20. Where do we start - you have the main players: Wilson, Nighthawk, Les Baer, Dan Wesson, and Ed Brown. Those are all 1911's. These are generational pistols if you take care of them. More accurate than they need to be and milled to exacting specifications (so keep them clean). HK 23 is a high-end "tactical" option that you can suppress. CZ Shadow is super clean and of course you have all the crazy modified polymer aftermarket options like Glock. If I was shopping for one, I have this love affair with the Dan Wesson bobtail with the 4.5 inch barrel.
  21. None of this adds up. He's been hurt every year he's been here. Can he last a full season? If he was hurt, where were the plays for Arch? If he wasn't really hurt, is he covering for bad play for his boy?
