"It's like a flashlight, walk your dog, take the       trash out, check the mail. Any problems occur you need immediate action with,       get on target and you're done."               I love these scenarios where you suddenly need massive firepower.              So there I was, at Whole Foods. I was comparing the organic watermellons to       the convertional watermellon. I was thinking, "should I pay 20 cents more a       pound for organic?" When suddenly 8 terrorists dropped from the ceiling,       knocking over the make-your-own-nut-butter machine and scattering whole       unsalted walnuts everywhere! Luckily I had my folding machine gun stuck in my       pants. I whipped it out, took a moment to appreciate the smooth unfolding       action, and no-scope 1-shot all those terrorist bastards. The entire staff of       the Whole Foods erupted in cheers! I was hoisted over their shoulders and       carried directly to the front of the cashier line. I swiped my Amazon Credit       Card, purchased my Watermellon and left.               ... He who ploughs a straight furrow, is probably in a rut.       --- SBBSecho 3.11-Linux        * Origin: Halls of Valhalla =-= Happy Holidays (1:218/840)       SEEN-BY: 57/0 103/705 105/81 124/5016 129/305 153/250 757 203/0 220/70       SEEN-BY: 221/0 6 360 226/17 229/426 664 700 240/5832 267/800 280/464       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 322/757 335/364 340/1000       SEEN-BY: 396/45 423/120 460/58 777 1124 5858 712/848 770/0 1 100 340       SEEN-BY: 772/0 1 220 230 4500/1 5054/30       PATH: 218/840 700 261/38 19/36 226/17 770/1 310/31 280/464 460/58       PATH: 221/6 153/757 229/664 426           |
