Rules for a Gunfight Anonymous 1. Bring a gun. Preferably, bring at least two guns. Bring all of your friends who have guns. 2. Anything worth shooting is worth shooting twice. Ammo is cheap - life is expensive. 3. Only hits count. The only thing worse than a miss is a slow miss. 4. If your shooting stance is good, you're probably not moving fast enough or using cover correctly. 5. Move away from your attacker. Distance is your friend. (Lateral and diagonal movement are preferred.) 6. If you can choose what to bring to a gunfight, bring a long gun and a friend with a long gun. 7. In ten years nobody will remember the details of caliber, stance, or tactics. They will only remember who lived. 8. If you are not shooting, you should be communicating, reloading, and running. 9. Accuracy is relative: most combat shooting standards will be more dependent on "pucker factor" than the inherent accuracy of the gun. Use a gun that works EVERY TIME. "All skill is in vain when an Angel blows the powder from the flintlock of your musket." 10. Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty. 11. Always cheat, always win. The only unfair fight is the one you lose. 12. Have a plan. 13. Have a back-up plan, because the first one won't work. 14. Use cover or concealment as much as possible. 15. Flank your adversary when possible. Protect yours. 16. Don't drop your guard. 17. Always tactical load and threat scan 360 degrees. 18. Watch their hands. Hands kill. (In God we trust. Everyone else, keep your hands where I can see them.) 19. Decide to be aggressive ENOUGH, quickly ENOUGH. 20. The faster you finish the fight, the less shot you will get. 21. Be polite. Be professional. But, have a plan to kill everyone you meet. 22. Be courteous to everyone, friendly to no one. 23. Your number one option for personal security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation. 24. Do not attend a gun fight with a handgun, the caliber of which does not start with anything smaller than "4". 25. You can't miss fast enough to win. With love and respect buddy

When he said he picked up a Clash CD I hoped it was London Calling, I have the lp here somewhere. Instead he picked up a greatest hits thing. Not bad, but acks the story telling of the originals Still, I think it is so cool when they are getting into my music. Last year they were all rocking to Queen. I was trying to find some Boomtown Rats for him to here. I know I have it around here somewhere.

I like the idea, except the projections on what the tax rate would be. It would also be problematic for the border. Currently we pay zero sales tax in Mexico. When the Peso is weak we really have a field day. With a sales tax rate of 25-30%, people would really be fleeing to Mexico and the Mexicans who dislike the hassle of applying for a tax credit on their purchases will stop coming over to the US. Just some small issues to work out.

How would you solve the following: Would grocery food items be taxed? Prepared food? Prescriptions? Would houses, cars and everything be taxed at the same rate? How would you help the small business owner who becomes an already bigger tax collector than he was before? I really dislike having to collect taxes for every town I may do work in. I have to know the tax rate in dozens of different localities.

I may sneak a peek at what the Texas teams are doing. And OSU in the final 4. But for the most part it's baseball season. I'm trying to decide on my cable tv package or MLB-tv on broadband. Since I've networked my house and can take my lap top anywhere, I may just do the mlb thing.

s*** I thought you came down to visit me. I'm heading back to South Padre Island to do a little work tomorrow. God I love my job.

By nationwide popular vote. As it stands now, Kerry has no reason to visit Texas. He has zero shot of winning the state. Make the candidates campaign in all 50 states. The bigger states will still garner the most attention. The candidates basically divide up the states into three columns. Those they will win easily, those they will lose no matter what. and the battleground states. Those battleground states get all the attention from both candidates, gather in all the favors for the winning side. Don't think Daley wasn't reminding the Kennedy White House weekly about his "get out the vote" efforts on behalf of Kennedy. We no longer have a worry about a few rogue states leaving the union.

It's a 3-2 count with runners on 1st and 2nd and one out. The hitter is a good fast ball, poor breaking ball hitter. Your breaking ball isn't working well that day. You do not want to throw a ball and load the basis. My question. How do you make eye contact with that blond babe down the third base line and have her meet you after the game?

A War Story A squad of American soldiers was patrolling along the Iraqi border. To their surprise, they found the badly mangled dead body of an Iraqi soldier in a ditch along side the road. A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled American soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, which was still barely alive. They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened. "Well," he whispered, "I was walking down this road, armed to the teeth. I came across this heavily armed Iraqi border guard. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, "Sadam Hussein is a corrupt, cheating, lying piece of crap!" He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, "Bill Clinton, Tom Daschle, Ted Kennedy, Hillary Clinton, and and most of the rest of your Democrats are corrupt, cheating, lying pieces of crap too!" "We were standing there shaking hands when this truck hit us."

My son just returned from a HS orchestra trip to Dallas. One of the guys on the trip turned him on to a couple really cool bands he thought I would like. Ramones and Clash I had to pull out some cassettes. Damn I wish I had a better tape deck. Damn kids think they invented rock and roll The king called up his jet fighters He said you better earn your pay Drop your bombs between the minarets Down the casbah way As soon as the shareef was Chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare As soon as the shareef was Outta their hair The jet pilots wailed

Was it a rematch when the Germans bombed pearl harbor . . .

I believe Aboz was our last poster in camp. Or do you mean players?

I feel for the guy. The difference between MLB and AAA is razor sharp. There are probably a couple rotations he could have played in.

9th in the A.L.!? Yeah about right, but for the wrong reasons.

As we explained to Neil Young, Southern man don't need him around anyhow . . . If you wanna see heaven, brother, here’s you chance I’ve been sent to spread the message God blessed Texas.

Gee, you mean you do not trust our list members?

Can SL&P host this? I'm certain we all are interested in his opinion about Israel, Hot Chicks, WMD, Gay players, 9/11, photoshopped pics of Kerry, MLB vid games, . . .

b**** Taunting me will you?! This makes up for all of my "it's 80 and sunny while you shovel snow" jokes Wish I was could be there.

Don't talk to me about oil. I just paid $1.51 for unleaded

Once baseball season begins for real, I will not even think about those losers until it's time for them to take their deservingly high draft picks. ANyone going to pay any attention to them, besides the Tribune, when the Sox are rocking the season?

Just like a right winger, resorting to violence

Ask him about the time the Cubs won a World Series, he was a teenager

Hey that's unfair and you have gone over the line. The ASPCA is going to here about this one mister.

I question the objectivity of this site. But, what do you know about Joe Scarborough and a dead aide? Link
