Anyway, I hope I don't goof up and get banned, lol, because on some of the other forums I've posted on over the past few years, the rules were a little more lax (cursing allowed, vulgar pictures allowed, etc), but I'll try my best to follow the rules.
P.S.
Do any of you guys play online poker?

If you want to know how to act here, spend a day or two reading through threads and pay special attention to this one:

Those aren't all the rules to live by, but they're the big ones.

I read the rules before I posted (thus the part where I said "I hope I can follow the rules" since in real life, in all honesty I do curse occasionally, and so forth, so I have to make a conscious effort not to mess up when I'm in here.)
Anyway, I definitely mean no harm, and will try to act
well...
polite : )

The only thing to keep in mind is that we will stomp you into the ground if you sass us. Of course, we can be bought.

Well hi, I guess. Of course the last time some new guy on a message board had an avi featuring t&a, the guy turned out to be a notorious troll. Oh, and the time before. And the time before. Hm, I don't ever recall seeing someone arrive to a message board, immediately select a tit-based avi, and not be a jerk.

My bad (I have the same avatar on a different forum so it's a tradition for me, but I will change it (brb))
Appreciate it. We may be a bunch of hoodlums, but we're family-friendly hoodlums.

Haha, anyways, yes I understand that some people surf this at work or in front of kids, so I'll try to steer clear of even the bikini pics from here on out. (I turned 22 last month btw, if this explains anything).

Lol, well the new avatar might get me even more heat than the last one, but at least it isn't t&a right?

Much better, thanks!
On a related note, I always thought that setting up an online gambling site would be great business! Trading some (minor) bandwidth for cash sounds mighty good. Pay out a sizable percentage of the earnings to keep everyone interested, and I think you could make a pretty decent living off it. That said, I'm pretty sure that the server would have to be overseas.

The best live concert I ever saw was Jethro Tull (Under Wraps tour) at the New Haven Civic Arena in 1984. And it didn't beat Pink Floyd by much.

Do you post under the same username on THR?
Post by: online poker player on June 23, 2008, 11:53:57 AM
Basically I normally post in an online poker forum, but when I was asking them for gun advice (I used to target shoot rifles when I was 11 years old, but only shot rifles, not handguns or shotguns) for which .22lr semi-auto to get for my first pistol, none of them really had any good advice to offer (they all basically said something along the lines of "whatchya getting a 22 for, that's weak I got a .44 magnum under the pillow blah blah blah" etc) so then I was googling around trying to decide between the p22 and the ruger mark3 and the buckmark and so forth, and I stumbled across THR. I was pretty surprised how big the forum was, and it seemed to much higher quality than any of the other gun related sites I had ever seen, so I decided to register there and ask them for opinions. Then after that, I looked for their Off Topic section, and realized they didn't have one, and thus
voila

And I'd go with the old 9 shot H&R revolver if you can find one.

I can't agree with yer taste in music, but for .22's you're on the right track. I'd tell you to get the ruger, unless the grip angle doesn't suit ya.

Jethro Tull was BY FAR the best show I ever saw - same tour at Pine Knob MI.
Remember the cat jumping out of the garbage can?
Oh, and a Ruger MKII was the best pistol I ever got rid of.
I don't feel regret, but I would replace it if the right opportunity arose.

I remember listening to Dark Side when it first came out. There's as slightly different quality to sound from vinyl that you don't get from CD, but each has it's merits.
I saw Tull 10 years ago in Vegas and ELP the same weekend. If I could only see one, I'd pick Tull.
Remember, OT doesn't have to mean vulgar or in poor taste.

For me it was Megadeth live at the Hard Rock in Vegas. Awesome concert!BTW, welcome aboard. May I suggest using the search function at THR. There are tons of threads there from the last few years that will answer just about any question you have gun related.
If not, TFL is another good source. Alot of us were raised TFL and then moved out to THR when TFL closed down for a spell.

New guy buys the ammo and beer.
Can't believe everyone else forgot rules 1 & 2.
Plus rule 3, it is always fistful's fault.
