  1. after being trained on how to use one, back in the 80's, i had to take the shock from one. fortunately they used weak batteries and hit us on the forearm. lost the use of the hand for several seconds. the affects are different on different people. once saw an officer wrestled to the ground by a perp and the officer wound up on the bottom. he then hit the perp with his hand held taser and it stood the guy straight up in what looked like a physically impossible way and off he went running fortunately another squad car was arriving and when it slid the rear end around and smacked the perp with the rear quarter panel, he wasn't so fast to get up and man did he get a face grinding into the asphalt from the three officers handcuffing him
  2. those are the thoughts of the jumpers
  3. i usually hang without other males because for me it is about the pussy. the last thing i want to hear is, "let's go over xyz first", when xyz is not something on my mind.
  4. this is an old story. happened years ago and those involved were put away. reminds me of the "new orleans" story that would pop up every year before mardi gras. the story line was about a guy that went to mardi gras, meets a hot chick, she takes him to a private party, next thing he remembers is waking in a hotel bathtub that is full of ice, next to the bath he sees a table with a note, upon reading the note he learns that organs have been removed from his body while he was unconscious. yeah and there's a santa clause
  5. i have been to amsterdam, went twice before discovering los. since i am not a pot head i have no reason to go there in favor of los/pi. why pay much more for food, room, shag and not have the gfe experience available in asia. besides, i can get plenty of white pussy in the states and the late night thai girls in amsterdam are ruined for gfe and still cost more than in los. save your money, when you couldn't produce a legitimate pic my belief was cast like most others on the board. how bout a recent pic of you in amsterdam along with a recent pic of you in los. ps. for any pic of you in amsterdam to be valid it must be with you wearing those mod zipper shoes
  6. i think that many of us REALLY don't believe he's been there. though at this point i agree, less of us care. i noticed it took him over a week to get back to this post, more than enough time to hunt down someone elses passport and copy a page from it. it always takes him time to respond because he has to make up more bs to cover the holes in his last fairy tale. my post earlier, about a recent pic of him at home and a pic of him in bkk/pattaya would be much more conclusive, but with two missing cameras, pictures of shoes that don't belong to him, and changes in story after story i don't think anyone will buy it. i for one am shocked that he didn't visit FLB as that would have been an easy clincher to have MM or carlsberg say they met him. in his original post to this thread didn't he say that if the board thought he was full of it he would go away. well the board has spoken and now he has even changed his original post. as of this post 95% have at least credibility issues with his story and 65% are sure it is bullshit. ps. tengotgo-go your mom wants to know if you took the trash out today
  7. i got a big kick when crocodile dundee 2 was a big flop at the boxoffice
  8. those stupid pricks need to not have a gun in their hands. just a few more years and we will have hilary to make fun of (god forbid)
  9. it is my understanding that hunting on your own private property often has different regulations than hiring out your private property to be hunted on and licenses are often required for those renting the right to hunt on private property. each individual state is allowed to set their own regulations. on upland bird hunting farms the birds are usually kept by the farm for eating there or sale to a butcher shop, restraunt etc... I have been on a trip where you go to the farm, shoot the shit out of their birds, then when you get back to the farm house you dine on the type of birds you shot, however the birds you eat were cooking while you were hunting and they were probably shot the day/s before. as far as cheney and bush, it is hard for me to understand how someone can connect their actions today to the results of the vietnam war. vietnam was then with a different admin. the connection should be in their inability to learn from the lessons of the past. bush and cheney's shortcomings are in their lack of foresight and inability to learn from the past. on a micro basis, cheney's shooting his hunting partner looks the same as his and the admins macro scale inability to manage the iraq situation. he seems like a guy that acts on his first instinct and checks the details later. sometimes this is the only way to go when action is necessary NOW. imo this admin is overwhelmed by the amount of information coming at them and they prefer to just put their own spin on things and deal with mistakes later. is the "management by disater" method they use appropriate? i am not completely convinced but on the other hand if we had an admin that was just sitting on its thumbs or half heartedly facing the terrorist while analyzing every bit of information, i believe that we would have had several more attacks on our soil and then we would have to use management by disater.
  10. you are dead wrong well more than 1 in 1000 americans know where finland is, and even more know about your even less militarily significant country, but only due to p4p and drugs. at least finland had some famous snipers. i did not state positive or negative influence.
  11. but you stated that the cops made the call... why didn't you show us a pic of YOUR shoes... anybody can get a pic of a tg... anybody could ask someone to describe the layout of a hotel, after all no one had ever seen anybody asking so many pointless detailed questions as you had prior to your alledged trip. give it up and just go away... or maybe you would be willing to believe that i have been to mars. after all here is a picture of the surface i took while i was sitting on the viking rover. do you want to see a pic of the boots i wore while walking on the surface? (only a total troll would say "yes" to that question).
  12. just what the board needs, another troll the u.s. exerts more influence on the world than any other country and could change the govt in finland as quickly as they did in iraq if finland got out of line. finland's last major conflict was in the biathalon at least people actually ask france what they think.
  13. if only they had a smilie with a hammer hitting the nail on the head t: as i have accused others of before, i doubt you have ever been to LOS. post one pic of you in los along with a second pic of you holding a well known magazine (time, newsweek, people, etc...) that was published in February 2006. edited to add: btw, at this time over half of the responding board thinks that you are full of shit. isn't it time to just go away or is this more attention than mommy and daddy show you?
  14. i thought it was phil collins
  15. And no one will get mad at you for posting this. see how much more fun islam is this on the other hand...
  16. i sure as fuck wouldn't have been opening my mouth to talk.
  17. good one. i got away with just one, but i read it very intently the first time. i am usually up for a challenge and most of the trouble i got in my life was due to dares and other challenges.
  18. only if u are paying them to do it
  19. jet lag is like jacking off. many deny it but all have personally experienced it
  20. i would pass on both in an enclosed area they both will send projectiles in a more or less 360 degree radius so you will kill those you don't want to and you will expose yourself to injury/death. never mind, trying to aim a mortar at a moving target at close range i am laughing thinking about some one trying to aim an 81mm motar while trying to drop the round down the tube. i once went on a regiment +30 mile force march and felt very sorry for the weapons platoon guys that had to carry those 81mm tubes and their base plates along with their full packs. i like to head to the range with a buddy to observe my technique. thus i have an armed friend watching my back, and i do think about the fact that there may be a nutcase on the range.
  21. The mixed martial arts forums like vale tudo, UFC and Pride as well as others, where all styles are allowed to compete using most of their complete arsenals, are the best places to look for the most effective one on one fighting styles Before mixed martial arts hit the mainstream, most of my training was in two Okinawan styles AND I had dabbled in Western boxing and wrestling as well as Muay Thai, Wing Chun, Moo Duk Kwon, Jui-jitsu and, yes, even Tae Kwon Do. I was very excited the first time a Shorin-ryu stylist got in the UFC ring. Alas, in no time he was wiped out and my dedicated training in Jui-jitsu and Muay Thai began. If you watch what wins in those venues now, you will see a combination of 4 major styles. Western wrestling is used to get a man to the ground and keep him there with yourself on top. It is also used to defend against take-downs. Jui-jitsu is used for staying on top of opponents as well as for finishing techniques, joint manipulation and chokes. It is also used for defending when you are on the bottom. Muay Thai is used to administer punishing leg kicks and to defend while in the upright position. Western boxing techniques are used to administer attacks with the hands and these are what end the highest percentage of fights, one man on top pummeling the man underneath him. Just like most bar fights where there aren't any rules and just like what happened when two of the best wing chun fighters went at it on video when one attacked the other at a seminar The number one factor in determining the winner of a fight is size. That is why all fighting organizations have weight classes. If you take two fighters that are close in ability and speed, the bigger man wins. Even Bruce Lee talked about this in Tao of Jeet Kune Do. If you are over 30 and don't want to learn a martial art from scratch, I would suggest this training regime. First, alternate "shooting" the legs and defending the "shoot" with a training partner. Follow up this defense with some, non-contacting, knees to the "shooter's" head. While "shooting", try to keep your head up and eyes on your opponent so that you can defend against those knees. Defend a "shoot" by jumping back while directing the "shooter" to the ground with your hands on his shoulders/back/head/neck. Do about 30 "shoots" each and 15 times let the "shooter" succeed in taking the opponent down. Start off in slow motion and add speed and contact as your familiarity and confidence increase. To advance this drill, after the takedown, the "shooter" should attempt to mount while the man taken down attempts to "guard" from being mounted. Second, learn the old "1-2" combo and practice wailing away with it on a heavy bag (wrap your hands and wear bag gloves). Just wail away for a minute then rest for a minute while your training partner wails away, then repeat, 15 times each. The average bar fight is over in under a minute and one opponent is usually an out of shape inebriated dude, so if you can keep punching longer than him, you will have bragging rights when it's over. To advance this drill, repeat this drill, but in slow motion with each of you going at each other. Don't worry about blocking, instead worry about footwork that will allow you to flank your opponent where he is less likely to have an effective defense/offense, keep the attack up no matter what. Add a little speed as your confidence increases, but pull your punches. If you decide to try adding contact wear headgear and those oversized 16-24 oz. gloves. Remember to do a brief limbering warm-up before starting. Do this workout 2 or 3 times a week for 12 weeks and only very experienced fighters will be able to kick your ass. One of my favorite episodes over the years is when talking to a billy bullshitter and they say something like, "well I would just shoot you" I love watching the look on their face when I then expose my concealed carry and say, "yeah, but where is yours" Check and mate.
  22. If mongering is your priority, go to Pattaya. If sightseeing is your priority, go to BKK. If you're not sure and it is your first trip, go to Pattaya to get the "hang" of LOS before dropping in the abyss that is BKK. Pattaya is easier to get around in and everything you need is nearby and the baht bus transportation system is a breeze to use. Fuck all if you get to BKK and fall in with a Tuck-tuck driver on your first day in country (at least you will leave with a new wardrobe ).
  23. I don't get the reasoning... there's a cure or there isn't and as far as i know there isn't so take all the medicine you want and help make doctors and drug companies rich.
  24. your words exactly, your opinion that someone liking a certain pair of jeans is just that, your opinion, and opinions like assholes are owned by everyone. 30 some posts and already trying to make friends??? Bangkoknick likes certain things and he posts a request about where to buy them and you respond with, "Who gives a rat's arse about Levi's, 501's? In my book jeans are jeans". Way to show what a helpful and neighborly guy you are, hope that's not the kinda help that people give you. btw, 501's like any pair of jeans are wearable immediately, but unlike cheap jeans, like those made from man made fibers, 501's will conform to your individual body shape and no other pair of jeans will ever fit as well. Also they last as long or longer than any other pair of jeans manufactured from cotton, and they were being manufactured long before designer jeans came on the scene. But asking some people who haven't experienced them to understand how good they wear is like asking someone who has never been to Pattaya to understand Pattaya Marley, good job in a guy with 80 posts supporting a real winner.
