Scuba Forum / General / December 2007My new Sprint modem...
Is faaaaast, baby. I can abuse Futile John at well over twice the speed of the last one.  Signature"It's not like my life is filled with threatening situations and I wonder how often the assurance of a gun in a pocket incites some guys to go places that are just a little bit dangerous. Me, I'm a coward and avoid scary places to the best of my ability. To you that may be cowardice. To me it's discretion and commonsense. 8) " -JOF Popeye/ www.finalprotectivefire.com On Mon, 17 Dec 2007 09:25:09 -0500, "Douglas W. \"Popeye\" Frederick" <Popeye@finalprotectivefire.com> wrote: > Is faaaaast, baby. > > I can abuse Futile John at well over twice the speed of the last one. We're all soooo happy for you. 8) JF > Is faaaaast, baby. > I can abuse Futile John at well over twice the speed of the last one. It aint like you needed the extra speed... > "It's not like my life is filled with threatening situations and I wonder > how often the assurance of a gun in a pocket incites some guys > to go places that are just a little bit dangerous.

Amazingly, said a.shole didn't get shot, bit, or even beat up, although the potential for all three was right there for him to explore, no, he just got pushed out the door, the door locked and I called my buddy on the cell and told him that said a.shole had just been in my house, then called 911 to report it. According to John's theorems we would have to believe the simple fact that there was a handgun 3 feet from my hand *should* have turned me into a "cowboy" and I would thereby be required to shoot this a.shole in the head (probably would have been the humane thing to do), and ask questions later. Yep, having two 120# Akitas and that handgun in the house sure illustrates the validity of John's blithering idiocy, but also how having them makes me "feel cool" and allows me and mine the freedom to "go places that are just a little bit dangerous", like my living room and kitchen. Oh, and before you take the obvious cheap shot, you probably would (and should) consider my home a dangerous place for _you_ to be. There are guns. Guns coming and going. Armed police officers are frequent visitors, you know, they stop in for coffee and to use the head, leave me some fish or game for the smoker, or talk about dive stuff or gunsmithing or the local a.shole they are looking for. Friends (*obviously* dangerous people) like Jerome, Dennis, Popeye, and Grumman, have been known to stop in. Sometimes they have guns, sometimes they don't, but you, John, wouldn't know how to tell anyway; to me it doesn't matter and I don't ask. It is "gunsels", I believe, that you call Us, right? >> Is faaaaast, baby. > [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >told him that said a.shole had just been in my house, then called 911 to >report it. I didn't have to bite the whacko who tried to push his way into our farmhouse one night either. He left by the same door he tried to come in, only faster than he approached it I suspect. >According to John's theorems we would have to believe the simple fact that >there was a handgun 3 feet from my hand *should* have turned me into a [quoted text clipped - 11 lines] >or talk about dive stuff or gunsmithing or the local a.shole they are >looking for. We haven't had 'em for years, but back in the days when my wife was a JP we had a lot of cops passing thru our kitchen, getting warrants sworn, having coffee, etc. Cops and guns in the house aren't that big a deal to us. >Friends (*obviously* dangerous people) like Jerome, Dennis, Popeye, and >Grumman, have been known to stop in.
