Linky no worky, Jeffy

As long as your 7" pistol dosent' prematurely ejaculate, you'll be in for a good night.
I have had a few "Accidental Discharges", but I was much younger then and still learning to handle it properly

I was waiting for the girl to try and put on the moves on Matt and have Matt fail to perform. That would have been funny. Kevin is definitely jealous about Matt's new friend though.

When does a raccoon turn into a bear?
When he's got a back like sasquatch
I spend alot of time online at work, so I'm wearing a uniform with lots of fun kinky things on my belt. I have the dildo baton
, handcuffs , and a 7 inch pistol -
I say:
The moon, since it can't be lowered
USS Arizona aka Pearl Harbor
Iwo Jima
and Arlington National Cemetery
I think the last three are becuase they are already at half-staff or something like that to honor those who died.

Cole, I can tell you about something that seems to me to be even sillier than all those cars going in opposite directions. Fully loaded logging trucks going in opposite directions. Fully loaded farm trucks with hay and other commodities going in opposite directions. They are the same freaking products for goodness sake. What the hell are they thinking?
Alot of it has to do with commerce. Joe next door could buy my hay for his cows, but he can get a better deal from Jimmy 2 states away. Logic just doesn't seem to have a place in some areas of the modern world, especially politics.

To replace 100% of oil consumption used to manufacture gasoline in the U.S. would require that 65% of all current cropland in the U.S. be converted to the production of corn or bunch grass dedicated to ethanol production. Assuming that only 85% ethanol was used in gasohol blending, that's still 55% of all current cropland that would have to be converted and dedicated for this purpose. There isn't enough arable land that can be added for this production, nor would there be enough water to provide the needed irrigation. This concept is impractical. It would create food shortages, both vegetation used for human food and that used for animal feed. The cost of ethanol produced from corn or bunch grass or any other crops that will grow in the U.S. has been calculated, and is estimated to be significantly higher than oil at a cost of $350/barrel.
Electric vehicles, based on proposed future technologies, will also be much more costly on a energy-unit basis than either gasoline or ethanol.

You cannot compare ethanol to a barrel of oil as a barrel of oil yeilds many more products than just gasoline. Ethanol cannot give us propane, diesel, etc. Also, what is the current percentage of cropland that we export to other countries? What is the percentage that we import? I really doubt that with America's large importing/exporting economy that we would have any type of shortage. Though, we would merely be going from one dependant import to another.
It is obvious that there is no quick and easy solution here, although lobyists and lawmakes would like us to believe otherwise.

I am in no way for the blatant abuse of our obviously finite resources, but I cannot stand the whole politically fueled panic of "Global Warming". I agree that changes should be made, though, but not at such drastic rates that we will hurt ourselves in the long run. I'd love to see a switch from gasoline to man-made ethanol and methanol, or at least a high blend (I.E. E85), but I'm not about to adandon my combustion engine for an electric one. I think we need more research with substantial results before any decision to be made.

Rudd has named global warming as his top priority, and his signing of the Kyoto Protocol will leave the U.S. as the only industrialized country not to have joined it.
Don't I wish that were true. Canada, shamefully, has waffled unbearably on this and is in that same house of shame.
Well, that certainly sums up his sense of things. Nothing he has done or not done over the years could possibly have had an affect on voters; it's only the campaign
Arrrgh!! Man-made global warming is nothing more than a politically fueled hoax! There is no scientist who can say with 100% certainty that the rising levels of CO2 can be directly linked to increase in global atmospheric pressure. Anyone who does agree only does so to recieve government subsidation. I refuse to believe anything spoken from a man who once claimed to have "created" the internet. Global mean surface temperatures have only risen 1* in the past half century, yet this has been blamed for everything from Hurricane Katrina to the melting of the polar ice caps.

They're teens. They take a long time to tell me what they've decided. And then I have to get it on paper (screen). Then my editors send it back and I have to do it again.
It's very hard for me to write. It's even harder to write well. I just don't want to post shite.
If I post one per month, you will always have a chapter on schedule within a few days. If I post more often, I might get behind, and like AWMS you'll wait months between chapters. A schedule is better.
Those damn teens, you ask them to take out the trash or clean their room and they take a week. Mention getting a car and they're ready in 10 seconds.
I wouldn't worry, nothing I've read to-date has been shite so I guess you're doing something close to right

Fat Bastard: "It did sound a little wet, there didn't it? Right at the end! Oooh! Heh heh heh. Let's have a smell, all right? Oh, everyone likes their own brand, don't they? Oh, this is magic! Hmmm, wafting, wafting. Ok, analysis. Ooh, smells like carrots in throw-up! Oh that could gag a maggot! I smell like hot sick... ass in a dead carcass! Even stink would say that stinks! You know when you go into an apartment building and you smell the other people's cooking on each floor and you go "What are they cookin'?" That, plus crap!"

FYI -- back to NEAWMS. As I said to one of my editors tonight:
Gavin didn't even originally have a name. He was called "good samaritan teen" right up until I sent in the chapter to edit. Delos was originally scheduled to kiss and make up with Alex and go with him to find Nicky. That is not looking viable now, is it? (Okay, I know the answer to this).
Coming soon: a new chapter :)
So if the characters decide what to do and the story writes itself why does it take so long for new chapters to come out

Consider the following scenario:
You're a policeman walking (Okay, maybe an American officer is pushing the limits of credibility here) down a deserted street. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife comes around the corner, locks eyes with you, screams obscenities, raises the knife, and charges. You are carrying a Glock 22 chambered in .40S&W, and you are an expert shot. You have mere seconds before he reaches you.
Fixed it for ya
Glock has not come out with a model 40 yet. For models chambered in the .40S&W they have the full size G22, the compact G23, the sub-compact G27, the competion model G35, and the long slide G24.

Being a fellow mechanic I felt it my duty to comment on this new story. Jeff told me that this first chapter is actually one of a three part prequel to the actual story.
He said something in another thread about how if he wrote a story it would some like something out of a service manual, but I don't see any of that in his writing and honestly I don't think he should worry about being too technical either. Back in 7th grade I remember reading Joules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and I honestly had no clue about all the technical jargon about fish and underwater everything. Yet, I still found the book really enjoyable and even though I didn't understand alot I left feeling like I could pretend I did. I think Jeff should go ahead and throw in a few tid-bits here and there as long as it contributes to the story.
Really looking foward to the next release, keep up the good work

You should check out my 8" model then, its not as thick as the 5 1/2" one but makes up for it in inches
