On the forklift question, my term [derived from experience] is Africanized Honeybee.

Good luck convincing most people here on the jobs sitch, they just don't believe it. :rolleyes: Regarding Zorry's suggestion, both blogs are interesting, but both are written from a team perspective, and solo IS different. A solo does everything - no dividing the chores [one cleaning up the...

Sorry, Moot, I tried, but no go. [copyrighted?] The comments were amusing, some assuming OVM was responsible for blowing trucks off the road in his haste to get home, but actually, it was pretty scary. I've seen a lot of similiar situations caused by ice on the road, but never that many trucks...

The lengths to which 'Trekkies' will go are what makes the movie 'Galaxy Quest' sooooo funny, lol.

YOU seem to have missed something: what I pointed out as NOT factual is from the 2nd link, which is the rate of self defense usage. Even if the first link is accurate, there's no way to compare the rates, as the self defense reports are strictly anecdotal. And it's no surprise that insurance...

The first link is statistics, [from the NRA, which few would consider strictly unbiased] but only on the rates of accidental firearm deaths. The 2nd link: Just the facts? Every 'statistic' that refers to using a weapon for self defense [against a perceived threat, which could be like your...

I'd say that we normal folks are thinking about food when we make biscuits, not sex, [because we normal folks are mostly women, right? ;)] so that's just more proof that Honey BooBoo's family aint even close to normal, IMO.

Police: Costumed Pa. girl mistaken for skunk, shot - KFVS12 News & Weather Cape Girardeau, Carbondale, Poplar Bluff Here's one where the shooter wasn't so lucky..... Which probably happens 100X as often as the lucky ones, but that's ok - we don't need to justify our right to bear arms based...

I repeat: she is a very lucky girl. Your turning that into "some people would rather see her murdered or worse" is what I find amazing, because no one [here] said or implied any such thing.

Most likely is NOT only, and Turtle & I offered 2 other possibilities right away to explain how the person might not have been intending to harm her, but you don't see what you don't want to see. If her father [who isn't mentioned at all] or mother don't point out how lucky she was, they have...

Wow - after about 40 years of making biscuits, it's bizarre to think I must have been doing it wrong the whole time....[it's either that or every woman I know is deformed!] 'Reality tv' is an oxymoron.

Just because she knew it wasn't police [or her mother] doesn't mean whomever was on the other side of the door was intent on harming her, does it? She could have had a somewhat crazy family member [or neighbor] who fancied themselves psychic, had a feeling the child was in danger [when she...

The inability to accept that some things may never be known is what keeps religion in business - human beings just naturally want to know everything. The 'big bang' isn't like a dynamite or firecracker fuse, it was a thermodynamic reaction [caused by rapid cooling] so no fuse, and no need for...

If a [public] range isn't feasible, perhaps a Sportsman's Club would be a good place - it was for teaching my daughter to handle and shoot weapons properly. [I loved that she immediately signed up for a Junior Rifle competition, came in 2nd place, and was MAD that one boy shot better than her...

That's freakin hilarious - I bet I've had enjoyed that much more than any of the actual trips I've done in NYC, lol.

Nice one, Boss! Putting your money where your heart is is always a classy thing to do. :D

I've always stopped for the orange blossom honey, and it is good, but after loving the Van Morrison song [She's as sweet as] Tupelo Honey for so many years, I couldn't pass it up. The shop owner says Tupelo blossoms make sweeter honey than any other, and it's a seasonal thing - supplies are...

In the section of the book 'Cloud Atlas' called Slush's Crossing, an accordian is called a 'squeezy-wheezy', which just stuck in my head, so the possibilities are already pretty funny, lol.

You 'feel his pain', huh? Because it hurts to discover that citizens who don't look or sound or worship as you do have equal rights - those thumbscrews are getting tighter for you too. Oppression is just outrageous, innit? :rolleyes:
