Jack Bauer? 24? Never seen it.

Why is it these TV guys can shoot guns, blow up bombs, crash cars, and dive out windows, never wearing hearing protection, and are not deaf? That makes me say hmmmm.

LOL - Cause it's our own imagination that allows it

Just like when you see a LAW rocket blow up an entire building. They never worked that way for me in the Army.

Overall though I still enjoy the show. Better than a lot of things that are on at that time.

They didn't work for me that way either. Unless that building has an ammo magazine for the LAW to bounce into....

On the other hand I did have my ears ringing for a week or two due to losing my hearing protection one night just before a live fire exercise in Basic Training. Me being too afraid to tell a Drill that I'd screwed up I went and ran a couple hundred rounds through my M-16 with no hearing protection. I remember how badly that hurt and how long my ears rang. That's why when I see this stuff in movies and TV it puts me off totally.

Which takes me back to my first sentence. Never seen it. Doubt I ever will.

On the other hand, it's almost Baseball season, and I have HD coming! \o/

I guess that would be the other, other hand. Which makes it the first hand?

I don't know, what would Gizzy say?

Wow you baiting Gizzy now?

LOL - No, he's trying to keep Ian from catching up to his post count


Yeah I used to pitch overhand softball for about 4 years before I went in the Army and I pitched the grenade like a softball. That pissed off the instructor as I nearly hit the top of the wall as he jumped on me and slammed us both to the ground.

LOL - AH! The good old days.

Yes, unabashedly so.


That happened to someone in our company. Clipped the top of the wall, but it did bounce over. I didn't see it as I was in a throwing position down the line. I heard it was one really scary moment there at the time.

Ian will catch my post count by the end of the week. I'm posting between emailings and phone calls. Most days I don't even have time to do that.

Its kinda strange not having a reply from him

I think i'm begining to miss him
And now i'm feeling bad telling him not to post?

I'm weakening

I know, it just doesnt seem normal.

Maybe the poor guy got sick again.

Not even an edited by comment.

Although, isn't that against the rules.

Poor guy, we've made 10 pages of posts and he can only look, but not touch. He must feel like Tantalus, though I daresay Gizzy's "crime", if you will, is an infinite number of degrees less criminal.

Which reminds me, what exactly was Gizzy's crime?

Ok, I'm posting, so there

Dave, it's only:
Total Est. Time: 2 hours, 58 minutes
Total Est. Distance: 178.89 miles

From seattle to Milwaukie ...

And anyone is welcome to visit :nod:

Do I win something for getting him to post?

Seattle to Milwaukee, Gizzy? Milwaukee, Wisconsin?

Seattle to Milwaukie (did I studder?), and Milwaukie, OR; it's a city SE Portland/Clackamas area.

And I lasted 10 pages, 10 friggen pages... do you realise how much spamming I passed up?

I survived with lots of energy drinks, jerkey, and editing peoples posts :x

You lasted 9 pages more than I thought you would Gizmo

Oh and I'd more call it cracking vs making me post... my wife was all "have you posted on that thread yet?" and I was all "no, but I think Nav just goated me into doing so"

Nicin the entire way too lol

"no, but I think Nav just goated me into doing so"

Mwahahaha!
