If I got a 21, I could switch guns to go along with the day (same Serpa holster).

The only banned handgun in NJ that I know of is that 5.7mm thing. We have the 15-round rule, but the G26 is 10+1 stock, G19 is 15+1, and if I want anything that is not NJ-legal, I can go to a PA gun show.

Speaking of law, here was my shopping list for Lowe's today:

nitrogen, WD-40, chisels, wood blocks, lengths of aluminum drain

If I weren't working on a nitrogen-depleted area of the yard, fixing a squeak in my condenser, recessing a door / installing a new deadbolt, and repairing wind damage to a downspout, that list could be perceived poorly.

Late into the flight I needed to get up to use the restroom and I asked if he would mind if I got up, he replied, "No" and proceeded to just sit there. As I tried to climb over him I pulled something in my back and the pain was so bad that I just about passed out walking to the back of the plane. I'm still in pain and will probably see a doctor wheni get back into town.

jerks like that need no compassion just stomp on their foot on the way out and back.

We'll call that the Marvin Harrison special, who violated the idiot - probably criminal; at best has criminal friends - with a handgun stipulation.

Speaking of which, "Harrison's being sued by a victim who saw Harrison shoot said victim in the back" (pretty impressive visual field).

I sat next to a complete Snap-On last night LAX-IAH.

He had the requisite low rise 7 jeans and a too short Affliction shirt and a too carefully seasoned 3 day growth.

He proceeded to stand in the aisle at 3B blocking my entry to 3A while he bent over his briefcase showing he'd neglected to bring any other briefs. :(

Then he had a 20 minute cell conversation at full volume bemoaning the mercenary nature of women. He told his friend that he would not be in his current situation unless he had such a such "an impressive financial package to bring to the table."

He then urged his caller to "nurture his inner superstar."

I filled all of the airsickness bags in the front and had to call for more a la ALCO SBM12calling for more hooch.

Now that was an impressive package.

Riding in Y has it advantages some times.


After months of looking at the *A mega DO post, I'm utterly amazed that some of these people can find their way out of their own beds every morning much less find their way onto the correct aircraft based on the questions they ask.

I would have been pulling a repeat of my most recent DFW-LAS (when I drank F out of whisky). Yes, on the way TO LAS.

Did you ask if he was a FTer? :D

His cell convo was SO loud I'm pretty sure those at the back of Y heard it all :rolleyes:
