    SSSS on boarding pass for wrong think

    My wife told me about her getting a SSSS on her way back from New Guinea and what a huge pain in the ass it was. And she had Global Entry!

    Man alive he is fast

    Used to shoot against him a lot back in the mid 80s in Louisiana. That was back before he went to work for S&W. That man has ALWAYS been fast! Nicest guy you ever met too. Not only is his daughter a hell of a shooter but his brother, sister in law, brother in law (Clark Jr) all were great...

    One of my best friends cancer just came back... probably not addressable this time...

    I lost my wife to pancreatic cancer 5 months ago. Yeah cancer sucks. The last few months were excruciating. Really for both of us to the point that I’m not completely sure I was the lucky one. At least her pain ended. We got married and she wasn’t feeling well. 9 months and 3 days later...

    Melanoma :(

    I think I’m right around 16 BCC surgeries, mostly Mohs. They’ve frozen me so often it’s fucking with the ozone layer. I keep flourouracil around permanently. They’ve taken so much of my hide off that my dermatologist has a pair of shoes and a matching purse that look like me. I wish they...

    this jerkoff Southwest CEO

    The problem with SWA has been their business model from the gitgo. Even back when they only flew to 3 cities in Texas, their model has always been "our planes don't make money on the ground". Hence the 737s with 20 minute turnarounds at the gate. Now that they're big with all the...

    Garage floor coatings

    Bought a new house a year ago and had the aspartic coating done and really like it. No issues at all yet and looks great. I just didn't have the time to do it myself at the time so hired it done. I remember the cost ran about $3500 for a four car garage including all materials and labor.

    Advice please: Cataract surgery vs iron sights

    Sorry to revive a zombie thread but I really would like to comment on the collective wisdom of the hide. This thread came out about the time that I realized that cataract surgery was probably inevitable for me. I was definitely not looking forward to it but this thread certainly gave me some...

    Movie Theater Let's have an argument -- Which is the Best Bond Movie...

    Any of the early ones for me because Connery owned the part. Honorable mention to The Man With the Golden Gun because of the car jump. It was done in a single take by an old neighbor of mine, Bumps Willard.

    The USD $

    Exactly! I just completed a transaction of an NFA item I purchased in the mid 80s. 2100% profit. Sadly this is only about 52% per year. :) I was buying M16s for $765 total price shipped. The good ol' days.
