Quite the opposite...it's awesome.

Exactly. It is like knowing everything about guns, calibers, loading data, ballistics, etc... That be shit I'd be proud to know as a man. Now if ya come and say ya know everything about the cast and episodes of Twilight, I'd be worried about ya. :)
 
Ford 4.0 OHV and SOHC used in the Explorer from 1990-2002, aerostar 1990-97, ranger 1990-2003. In the pic you can see the one tooth missing to tell the computer #1 is at TDC.

To meet tighter emissions in 2004-up they needed more teeth to better control timing. that is the second picture.

Bacon is healthy food....

View attachment 6989046

I was arguing with a friend years ago about how the turkey bacon wasn't worth the effort. The advantages were so minimal it really wouldn't make a difference in a meal. Something, something about diminishing returns. Same with fruit juice. Mind as well have a Coke if you prefer. It's calories in vs. calories out and then you need to account for how 'nutritious' those calories are. And if you're worried about fat, don't. Especially if it's naturally occurring fat in meat and dairy. That fat is critical for your brain and is quite good for you. Salt should hardly be considered. Most people can process out what extra sodium they intake with no issues. And I'm a big believer in the 16:8 fasting. Stop with all the non fat, fat free, sugar free, diet this and that. Eat the good shit. Just less of it.
 
“Fine art”

Awarded the 1,000-euro prize by the prestigious Leinemann Foundation for fine arts, the piece has created quite the controversy:
"[The foundation's jury stated], 'It shows very well the difference between the public sphere and the private sphere.'
But Saxony interior minister Markus Ulbig, who is responsible for the state's security services, told the German press he was shocked by the sculpture, which he branded an insult to police officers.
The GdP police union also blasted the piece, saying 'it breached the limits of artistic freedom.'"

You know what is even funnier? I am just the kind of person who would fucking do something like this. Not for shits and giggles. Not for attention. But because I just got so fucking hammered drunk that I think it is the most logical thing to do.

I know I just fucking would. One of these days.

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes:



When the time comes, I hope I just wade in there and bean the bad guy like he did.

My fear is, that day is already unfolding in America.

The Shooter's Prayer
When I breathe my last,
And open my eyes in Glory,
May the first thing I hear be
“Unload and show clear.”

The Gunfighter's Prayer
Lord, make me fast and accurate.
Let my aim be true and my hand faster
than those who wish to harm me and mine.
Let not my last thought be “If only I had my gun”.
and Lord, if today is truly the day you are to call me home,
Let me die in a pile of brass.

The Sniper's Prayer (Saving Private Ryan)
Be not that far from me, for trouble is near;
Haste Thee to help me.
Blessed be the Lord my strength,
which teacheth my hands to war,
and my fingers to fight.
My goodness, and my fortress;
My high tower, and my deliverer;
My shield, and he in whom I trust;
Who subdueth my people under me.
O my God, I trust in thee:
Let me not be ashamed,
Let not mine enemies triumph over me.

And finally, Psalm 82:

A psalm of Asaph.

1. God presides in the great assembly;
he makes judgment among the “gods”:

2. How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?

3. Defend the weak and the fatherless;
uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

4. Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

THANK YOU SIR, FOR POSTING THIS

These words should be stickied and placed in the header of the forums. After all, doesn't this describe us as a whole, as a community?

I got emotional for a minute right there while reading because they reminded me when I first fell in love, long long ago. When I told her that I would always protect her and be her shield against those who may try to do us harm. THESE WORDS were the very ones going through my mind when I told her and gave her my heart.

AND THESE WORDS should be what goes through ANY man's mind when he is telling his loved ones just how much he will protect them and be their shield.

Hold on, somebody is cutting onions next to me again. Let me get a handkerchief. BRB
