Admit it; you already have a place marked out in the garage for that flame thrower.
Truth to tell, I've been both jealous and covetous ever since my wife revealed that for her fifteenth birthday present her father [the man was a bit crazy] bought her a surplus WWII flamethrower for use in burning out cactus patches where she lived in Texas. While it was not a gift that a fifteen year old girl desired it would have suited ME at a similar age.
Sigh, but she insists that we don't need one while living in the suburbs.
I hate to pull a Kyupol (hahaha. Sorry man, but this is a theory of mine)
I honestly believe that there is not one dominant religion. I'm not saying religion is fake, by any means. As it is recorded from centuries ago. But, what if, all the Gods were together at one point? I'm sure by the beginning of most religions (example: Christianity) that might not work. So I'm a bit confused. And something about like, beliving in other Gods, and you go to Hell or something? I'm not sure. I'll work on that.
Why did I say that? It's an idea for a comic of mine.
I just woke up from a nap, so that could be why I'm spouting crazy things. :3
I got three bottles of my favourite root beer. :D It's called Real Brew and you guys should all try it if you can find it. Ooh, and I found Caesar Dressing without anchovies! Woo for organic grocery stores!

you mean to say, like what if one man, while worshipping many gods, hears the voice of God, and goes where it leads…
then teaching his kids , and their kids and their kids (etc) then at one point, 2 brothers get into a fight about inhertince, splitting the family for generations to come….
and then a king begats a guy who begats a guy who begats a girl who begats a guy, etc. until a messiah is born. but the people he was sent to save doesnt believe he is who he says he is. therefore, splitting into another faction?
almost as if 3 of the 5 major religions in the world today have the same God? i think that's what you're trying to say here. ———–
i did great on that test. i owned it. but then i did crappy on my run…when i hit two miles, i started walking. did that for a .1 miles and then picked up the final mile at a 7:30 pace. makes me mad that i was able to do that. if i could've done that, then i shoulda been able to have pushed my self at a slower pace, to at least finish the whole 3 miles without walking. and i was on track to actually do it under 22 minutes. instead it was 23:18…i'm such a jerk.

Not exactly. Although, it would be interesting if God created the other Gods. Like, they would be lesser Gods. But I was thinking more along the lines of Buddha (sp?), Zeus, Jesus, and all of them like, in some heaven-like place. Don't ask me why I thought about that. It'd be cool though. People wouldn't fight over religion.

sounds good to me. :) _________________________
@ Charley, I read your post earlier today and guess what I had to do when I got home? My wife says, I just planted flowers outside but the grass is so high you can't see them. hint-hint. nudge-nudge. I'm outside after dinner mowin' the lawn. Happy Daze!

I came back from Florida last week on Thursday night at 11:00pm. We drove down a week prior and drove back. I live in Ohio. Driving for 17-19 hours sucks! When I went back to work this week I hated it! I was so tired still from our trip that I needed a vacation from my vacation. We went down for my brother-in-laws wedding and it was nice but the bigger part was we spent 3 nights at a Disney resort. Is was expensive but honestly, it was worth it. Being there with my 2 1/2 year old daughter Gwen was so much fun. She loved meeting all the characters and especially the princesses. But my feet were so tired.
Super duper psyched about the whole possible published comic thing, mom's really happy too. I've already got a make-shift cover idea right now, i'd buy it, but i think it needs more boob to get guys to open it.
I went down to the video store and got curb your enthusiasm season 1, plus 2 other movies for free (harold and kumar + this other dumb one) and one really disappointing adult video :/ was not as advertised.
Urgh. My mom is snooping around the stuff I post around these forums now. Aren't mothers great? I GUESS I BETTER STOP POSTING ABOUT HOW I'M ALWAYS DRINKING BEHIND THE SEV AND SHOPLIFTING.

i'm sorry, i thought you were talking about modern day theology…the ones i mentioned were judasim, christianity, and islam.
in Gods of ArrKelaan (the best story here on drunk duck(IMHO))[spoiler] all the ancient gods, created all the new gods. (not so much the gods themselves, as the religion and such)[/spoiler] —————
the wife wanted to "get out" tonight. but everywhere i suggested she shot down. i havent been drinking (training and all that) and she's very picky about her alcohol, and a mean drunk, so bars were down. clubs open too late (she has work to morrow morning) she didnt wanna gamble, and i didnt wanna shop. so we went shopping downtown. ——–
hey hippie, are we still on for that bank robbing buisness? the one where you enter into the US without a passport, and then we try to beat john dillinger with most banks robbed?

Oh, definitely! But there are a few people who I need to "take care of" first.
So my friend sent me a text a bit earlier saying she just got in a car accident. Of course, my reaction is kind of holy crap, is she okay?! …It turns out what actually happened was the bus she was in hit a car. She was totally fine except she like hit her arm or something. It's not the first time this has happened, either…I wish she would have sent something more like "Omg, my bus just hit a car! I'm alright tho." Sheesh.

Good luck, Skullbie! I believe in you! :D
Today's a good day. I woke up early after staying up late to finish a page. And I'm not even tired. I already showered, drank a cup of coffee, and played a bit of Mirror's Edge (now one of my favorite games ever, besides Jet Set Radio Future).
I just got done penciling another page, and it's actually the LAST page of the 2nd backstory. Now I have one more backstory, and a small fight scene to draw until Part 2. I'm so happy though, because if I can get a few pages done every week, this Chapter will be done hopefully before next school year starts back up. I hope I can go that fast. lmao.
AND, I'm going to try shadowboxing with 20-pound dumb-bells. It's going to be really hard at first, but it'll do wonders for me. Shadowboxing is seriously, to me, the best exercise I do. It works my lower body, my mid-section, and my upper body. I'm still sore from doing it two days ago. Skullbie, you should definitely get into that, you don't even have to have weights. It'll tone your arms :D
I have one with the toughest filters commercially available… But I discovered to my cost they their value is rather limited. Filters can only stop so much… Gasses are too much for them. -Painters and builders don't use a real gas-mask, it can only stop fine practicals.
What you need in my case is a full respirator. Heh, so holding your breath is more effective with fumes.
I know this is an old post, but not true. AO Safety has a respirator mask that uses P100 chemical cartridges that are good enough to stop chlorine gas. I own one for painting and other stuff. The cartridges are good enough to block out xylitol, gasoline and acetone fumes after 13 hours of painting in a 20'x20' room. They won't let you sit there in the stuff indefinitely, but they will give you a good couple months ( Or days I'd imagine if you wanted to stay in the stuff permanently. ) before they go and there isn't a respirator out there that will last forever really.
Which brings me to my rant, because it turns out the cartridges for my respirator cost more for a replacement set than the whole things. But I can't find anywhere selling the mask and I really don't want to pay $50 for a new set of cartidges. But it's better than the brain damage that might result from trying to finish the job I'm working on without them. I wish there were a way to clean out old cartridges and reuse them.
I got my 'all you needed to know about swine flu' leaflet through the door today, same as every other household in the UK. I don't know how many millions it cost to organise and carry out this huge logistical exercise, but all it actually says is, if you sneeze, use a tissue.
If we needed a leaflet to tell us that, maybe it's time for a mass extinction event anyway.
I got one last week. Then I got 2 this week. If anyone needs a spare, too bad, I recycled them already. You'll just have to wait for one of the many tv commercial spots that tell you to use a tissue when you sneeze.
Next week they better bring me more black rubbish bags or I'm going to go round and sneeze on them.

Ha, I've gotten 3 notes home from school now informing me about swine flu…apparently if I go to Mexico I have to stay home a week after getting back before I can return to school. Which doesn't sound so bad to me.
Skullbie, you should definitely get into that, you don't even have to have weights. It'll tone your arms :D
I've worked out to a billy blanks video religiously before so i definitely agree with you :) Got me sore as hell though haha, good luck on the dumbbells though, i'd probably accidentally let go of the things through a window xP
I'm watching this trashy show called charm school, there's like only two types of girls on the show; big mouthed black girls and cocky stripper blondes (who have made cliques with, surprise, eachother) but one of the things that made me facepalm was one of the girls got kicked out for grabbing another girls hair and the host is like 'physical violence is the number one unacceptable no-no'. These girls rip and rape eachother apart verbally huh?! That's just as bad as hair pulling, if not worse.
But then again i just checked their official site and they have a poll 'which charm school girl is the skankiest~~?'.
My lawn is a postage stamp. So I can mow it in less than twenty minutes and it takes another hour to weed whack around everything and clean up all the grass trimmings with the blower. The lawn is not wide enough any where so that the trimmings don't end up not needing to be blown or swept.
Like my boss used to say when I did land-scaping: "Make it a nicey-nice my-a Stevie, give it-a a-nice-a blow job"
When cutting high grass, set the wheels of the mower as high as they can go and go in. My grass is always wet so when it's tall it clogs the mower quickly. I used to cut grass on public lands taht only get cut once or twice a season. There are tricks. Don't put the front wheels down on the mower (even for ride on's if the grass is THAT high, unless you have that mower attachment for your John Deere farm tractor) If really high, weed whack first to give you a path into the jungle. And watch out for the rabbit holes, rabid racoons, feral cats and Viet Cong hiding out in there. And people wonder why I carry my weed whacker slung like a rifle…
Off to work my extended week-end and edit more pictures!
I took one "what is your political party" kind of test.
Just because I strongly disagree with alot of George Bush's policies (torture, invading other countries, etc), I'm now a hardcore liberal.
I'm now a hardcore liberal because I answered yes to the question that said "Do you think its all right for gays and lesbians to organize groups in school?"
Of course I am.
And it wont matter if its a gay-lesbian group or a white-supremacist group. Everyone has the right to free speech.

I think the thing is that they can only stop certain kinds of substances lba.
I admit I was very blanket when I said they can't stop all gasses, but nothing except a respirator WILL stop almost all gasses. Filters cannot stop more than a selection that they're designed for.

That's probably true. Though I suppose if your daily life involves being hit with mustard gas on the way to work, the best of luck to ya. lol!
I just know that those P100 cartridges are used for almost anything most people will ever run into. I don't know for sure how much they were originally designed for. I'd guess it's really a moot point either way though. As CharleyHorse said, most people don't know the difference between the two and most of us probably aren't likely to be exposed to some like chlorine gas on a regular basis to find out.
It's not so much that there are levels of bad gasses they won't stop, as in "gas A is amazingly poisonous and used in chemical warfare, whereas gas be is only a product of common industrial processes". The world doesn't work that way ;)
The fact is that You can't make any filter that will stop more than a specific selection ;) Things as simple as burning formaldehyde fumes might pass through one filter that would normally stop all sorts of other gasses.
I just picked chlorine and mustard gas because they're examples of chemical aerosols most people probably won't run into on a daily basis and hence probably wouldn't be something the filters cover, but we wouldn't know as we don't come into contact with them that often. I wasn't saying that there's levels of gases or anything like that. Just saying that these filters are designed to cover as broad a spectrum of the most common gases they can cover.
Ugh. I should probably get to bed. It's like, 1 AM, but it IS Saturday (technically, Sunday) but I have things to do tomorrow. Like ink and tone another page, and homework.
I lifted tonight, and I feel pretty good for the most part. I'm going to do more shadowboxing tomorrow though. I'm pretty much convinced that it must be doing something right, because almost every part of my body was sore the next day.
At least I got Page 23 done, which the comic is coming along fantastically!
Sadly, I did not really get to talk to that girl today. Last time I talked to her was…1 PM? Kind of sad, really. I'm sure we'll talk tomorrow or something.
I also need to get into more webcomics. I only have a few that I actively read, so I'm going to make it a point to read them, this new feature, Robomeks, looks promising.
