Nice puzzle.  Not too hard but it still took a few minutes.

I'm in brown recluse area.  They always warn us to shake out our shoes before putting them on.

There was a story a while back about a woman who got bit by a brown recluse in the bathroom.  It was hiding between the toilet seat and the porcelain and got her right on her bottom.  My wife now checks under the seat every time.

Are there any rules against profanity in the funny pictures?

Edit:  Nevermind, I see one above me.

Thanks, that was very enlightening.  Thus begins my collection of firearms :)

Thanks for the links and info.  I will most likely talk to a local firearms dealer before starting anything, as the lower receiver has to go through a licensed FFL anyway if bought online.

A while back I was reading online about firearms suitable for basic home security.  A lot of sites suggested something like a shotgun over a pistol.  An AR-15 may be overkill for security purposes, but I can imagine that if a shotgun would scare an intruder, an assault rifle would probably make them mess themselves.

13
Those are very nice.  I've been reading up on AR15s after having read your post and it looks like a lot of fun to build and customize one.

Can you recommend any sites or books for someone who knows very little about guns but is interested in building an AR-15?

We watched "Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief" last night with the kids.  Not bad, I'd say it was a blatant rip off of Stupid Sexy Flanders except that it is based on a book.  Its like "Clash of the Titans" for tweens.  Not corny though, it was well done.  7.8/10

One of my favorites.  If you haven't seen it you should check it out.  Pretty epic flash game.

I love having to import legacy DTS jobs, convert them to SSIS format then hand create agent jobs to run them then spend seven hours figuring out why the fucking things won't run. SQL upgrading is EASY!

I'll be upgrading sql 2000 later on this year.  I'm not looking forward to it.

Congrats! :) I can't get to the Armory from work (filtered, natch) but I'll check it out when I get home.

Also, my email address (in the Facebook thread) is also my RealID name, so shoot me a friend request if you so desire. You'll be able to see firsthand how much I play...

Anyway, these two are my most-played, but I have a host of other characters. The guild I'm in does nothing, I mostly play with friends these days. People from my wife's guild, mostly.

I'm on Shadowsong, and I have 6 level 80's...  I'm thoroughly burnt out.  I'm not sure if cataclysm will reignite the fire for me or not.

And I agree, the South Park wow episode was epic.  That's the oldest saved show on my DVR.

LOL!  I have to forward that one on.

I get emails from most errors triggered on our websites.  Its amazing how many people keep trying SQL injection attacks.

I'm *this* close to quitting.  I'm really disliking my job these days.  But its a freaking dream compared to Demo's above.

My first windows was 3.1.  Shortly thereafter, dos 5.5 came out.  Hurray for disk doubler! 

I remember being amazed by batch programs.  My buddy would copy games onto floppies for me.  I would type A:/GoPatrick.bat and it would install the game for me on my hard disk.  I was dumbfounded.

I'm now on Windows 7 64 bit.  I haven't had a single problem with the OS itself.  I did not beta, so they likely had all the bugs worked out before it got to me.

What do you do if you come across a pink elephant?

Wipe him off and say you're sorry.

There was no struggle.  Everything was too easy, and moved too fast.

"Oh hey, I've been lying to you all.  I'm really a human scout sent here to figure you all out which will ultimately lead to your demise."
"Hmm, ok, lets swear you in and make you an official member!"

Weird Tingly Feeling?

"Oh no bad guys in big ships!"
2 minutes later
"Yay! They're all dead."

Not much of a threat, IMO.

"Man, I wish I could stay with you all forever."
"Oh, didn't we tell you?  We just happen to have soul transference device!  All is well!"

I'm going to fast this lent.  I'm shooting for 3 days.  This should be fun.
