KU got their ass handed to them in the Big 12 Tournament!

Yep and then again in the NCAA.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American Soldier.  One died for your soul, the other for your freedom.

Bwahahahahaha, good one. I used to believe that was a thing, so I used the report post function. Then a mod told me that I was essentially the only person using the report feature (one of three people to report a post that month iirc). Now I report spambots, and nothing else.

I reported this post.
If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

I will add that over most other online forums a lot of our members have actually met in person and share a multitude of interests other than the 2nd Amendment.

I like to think in a lot of ways we are one huge dysfunctional family, Brothers, Sisters, Aunts, Uncles...etc.

If you think someone is being out of line, just let one of the mods know.

Which mod is in charge of the rooms in the attic, because I need to report that nobody has changed the cobwebs and spiders in my room for months.  I'm sure all y'all don't want crazy Uncle skidmark to turn into homicidal Uncle skidmark, so somebody better get back on the ball up here.

stay safe.
If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

Hey you kids!! Get off my lawn!!!

They keep making this eternal vigilance thing harder and harder.  Protecting the 2nd amendment is like playing PACMAN - there's no pause button so you can go to the bathroom.

That is a given.  See my post above.

Well that's a first.  "The mods are too lenient."   :laugh:

Guilty as charged.  As long as the discussion doesn't resort to insults and name calling, we tend to let them go and go and go.   And sometimes, there's a great deal of discussion that goes on regarding a potential lock/closure while the poo flinging continues unabated.

Yes, being human, we are far from perfect, and no, there isn't a mod on duty 24/7.  (Yes, there is no DA Form 6).

I think we strike a pretty fair balance most of the time.


Which mod is in charge of the rooms in the attic, because I need to report that nobody has changed the cobwebs and spiders in my room for months.  I'm sure all y'all don't want crazy Uncle skidmark to turn into homicidal Uncle skidmark, so somebody better get back on the ball up here.

stay safe.

Sorry, the fishheads are on backorder.  Once they arrive we'll draw straws to pick which mod gets to venture into the attic.  MrsSmith is in charge of the spiders.

Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.


Bring me my Broadsword and a clear understanding.
Get up to the roundhouse on the cliff-top standing.
Take women and children and bed them down.
Bless with a hard heart those that stand with me.
Bless the women and children who firm our hands.
Put our backs to the north wind.
Hold fast by the river.
Sweet memories to drive us on,
for the motherland.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.
