can we get a ruling here from dins?

I do believe that it when used in the possessive form, as I did would be spelled it's.

If I'm wrong, then I guess I did KMOA. But, I don't think I am.

from wiki....

ITS, it's or its can mean:

* its, the possessive adjective and possessive pronoun form of the personal pronoun it
* it's, a contraction of it is or it has

well, fukk me.

that'll teach me to think english follows logical rules. :oops: :oops:

KC Scott reminds, "Phelps just got dumped by Kelloggs" Okay....this is how we begin...to wakey wake!!! :wink:

In his 1877 book, "Plain facts for old and young: embracing the natural history and hygiene of organic life", physician John Harvey Kellogg (co-inventor of the cornflake) wrote:

Covering the organs with a cage has been practiced with entire success. A remedy which is almost always successful in small boys is circumcision, especially when there is any degree of phimosis. The operation should be performed by a surgeon without administering an anæsthetic, as the brief pain attending the operation will have a salutary effect upon the mind, especially if it be connected with the idea of punishment, as it may well be in some cases. The soreness which continues for several weeks interrupts the practice, and if it had not previously become too firmly fixed, it may be forgotten and not resumed. If any attempt is made to watch the child, he should be so carefully surrounded by vigilance that he cannot possibly transgress without detection. If he is only partially watched, he soon learns to elude observation, and thus the effect is only to make him cunning in his vice. (p 295)

In females, the author has found the application of pure carbolic acid to the clitoris an excellent means of allaying the abnormal excitement, and preventing the recurrence of the practice in those whose will-power has become so weakened that the patient is unable to exercise entire self-control. (p 297)


Hi, I'm Dr. Kellogg...but call me John...I'm a total lunatic as you can see...and a great deal of your entire social paradigm--its actual laws and rules of which you can still be locked up for any such disobedience...well,...are totally wrong--reversed, perverted and deranged in fact--oh well, I'm dead, and like Eichmann, I scored! Look now at your penis...is it mutilated? Ha Ha!

Typically these Puritanical sorts, with their militant agenda of imputing their demented moral propriety into all aspects of everyone elses private lives are in fact secretly perverted in their own. Pastor Meth Ted comes to mind. Same with Rove, Limpdick, J. Edgar Hoover and of course Senator Widestance.

Most people are probably unaware that Kellogg with his ludicrous theory is basically responsible for the primitive and barbaric act of circumcision being introduced to America. And America remains the only non-Muslim nation to practice it as a rather routine procedure. This is the power of ignorance. And it is from this we must awaken! :doh:

Lemme break it to ya, b-bitch, along wit my homie Wheel Brain wit the fly voice box, now I'm qoutin' yer Founding Father here, bee-yatch, an' that's Massa Tom Jefferson,
Image

He said in 1782, “Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories. And to render even them safe, their minds must be improved to a certain degree”. Dig? He believed that in order for people to trust the muthafuckers who are in charge of their government, they need to have some kind of education, to be able to make decisions based on their knowledge. And that the government has a principle obligation to sustain and improve the nation itself accordingly. Dumb Rove Monkey bitch!

(Hawking voice box)
That is true...Jefferson also believed that there wasn’t any freedom without education. He said, “ If a nation expects to be ignorant and free, in a civilization, it expects what it never was and never will be”. And indeed the cannabis has kept me alive much longer than anyone thought possible..

Of course it's true I saw the tremendous value of hemp. And I loved the Chronik, as Franklin and I called it...

A public primary school system is a good idea, so long as it's control is no higher than the town or maybe county level.

The higher up the gubmint level you go, the more incompetent it gets.

It really started going to shit when the feds decided they needed to jump in and fix things.

As a result we have mouth breathing dolts walking around that can't even spell a simple pronoun in it's possessive form.

Uh...no, of course I don't "suck Jew cock," but guess what? This guy really does! He's a mohel, and he's literally sucking the baby's penis. It's a basic part of that "tradition." No bullshit, this is the other side of Dr. Kellogg's insanity. And, to get back to the issue at hand, another basic reason for Phelps to say good riddance to Kelloggs and their sponsorship.

Well, Hell's Bells! Who would have thought that the good and Great gentle Human Fish guy would spark a new round of cultural warfare? While his mom has "grounded" him like a teenager, and the late-night comics have been delivered a windfall of jokes, the "Dr. Kellogg" contingent is getting militant fighting back. Is this some kind of mid-1960's flashback nightmare?

Columbia, S.C., television station reports that eight people have been arrested after a photograph surfaced of Olympic star Michael Phelps smoking what looks like a bong.

WIS-TV says seven people have been charged with drug possession and one person with distribution.

The television station also reports that police have confiscated the bong that Phelps allegedly used during a party at the University of South Carolina, in Columbia. The photograph was published in a British tabloid.

WIS-TV says police also tracked down the bong after its owner tried to sell it on eBay for $100,000. The owner, who was not at the party where Phelps was photographed, is one of the eight people charged in the case, the TV station says.


Unless this sheriff is running for office--like the disgraced Duke "rape" case DA--this represents the first attack in a Christer/Kellogg lunatic Jihad for control over America's moral tiller, as it were. Sure, it's twenty years too late, and there's no real crimes to prosecute, and everyone will regard them as overzealous and misguided...but, such is the fiber of bellicose ignorance hiding behind a badge and a gun.

mvscal wrote:No idea. Looks more like some kind of paintball contraption to me.

It could be a very heavily modified, superhot-rodded old Browning HMG that someone has customized for long-distance shoots.

Possibly. The reciever/upper stuff looks like it's in the right place, but it looks like there's a box-like contraption between the reciever and the barrel mounting.

88 hangs out at a gun club -- maybe he's seen something similar?

I've seen modified Browning sniper rifles for doing 600 yard shoots, but tricking out an old (and those suckers are old) HMG would be unusual.

If that is the case, don't sweat the recoil (too much). It would be fired while it was sitting on a benchrest and sandbags, and it's likely it's not being touched while fired -- they'd have a string tied to the trigger, and would have it clamped in the rest.

Again, just a wild guess -- but the basic design isn't ebtirely like the old HMG .50cal (which I believe in that incarnation was pretty much a WW1 thing, morphed into better guns by WW2).

I'm also guessing that firing it from the shoulder would result in a trip to the hospital. With a barrel that long, there'd be a whole freaking bunch of gasses moving back towards you.

I'll acquiesce to your knowledge (in no small part to try and sound all smart by using "acquiesce" in a sentence).

The upper and grip/trigger placement isn't dissimilar to and old HMG, although it's not like I'm terribly familiar with them (although I believed the design had changed quite a bit from WW1 to WW2).

And if one were to fire a jacked up .50, I'm guessing you'd need those skids to clamp down to keep the thing from sailing off the bench.


I was just throwing it out there, since some of those long distance shooters come up with all kinds of crazy modified rifles to get that .50 zinging across the range as fast as possible (I've learned to never engage those guys in conversation unless I'm REALLY bored, since they never seem to want to shut up once you ask a question).

Blah blah..yeah, it's a redneck with an old 50. rifle on skids. Okay, you got the joke. The redneck cop mentality is out of control. The doughnut commander of that S. Carolina town is indeed rounding up potheads as we speak. But...let's look at what's really happening.

Here's S.F. Chronicle columnist Gwen Knapp laying it out:

Weed, the Breakfast of Champions.
Gwen Knapp

I've been waiting a long time - 11 years to be exact - for the sports world to seize on that concept, but no one's had the guts. Now, far later than I expected, we've entered pot's perfect storm.

Just as the economy has tanked, strangling sponsorships all over the athletic map, a Super Bowl MVP and the most decorated Olympian of all time have emerged as partakers. Advocates for drug reform have long said that legalizing marijuana would increase tax revenue, not to mention reduce violence in the dealer population. In sports, the door would open for a cash flow to fill the creek bed left dry by a shriveling General Motors, Citigroup and their ilk.

So when Michael Phelps got caught on camera taking a bong hit, Kellogg's should have followed Disney's example and let it go. Santonio Holmes was stopped by police and cited for having three grass-filled cigars in his car last fall, but he still got to party with Goofy and Mickey in Florida after catching the winning touchdown pass for the Steelers in the Super Bowl.

Both Phelps and Holmes, when caught, had to apologize, and both accepted sabbaticals from their sports. The Steelers held Holmes out of a game the following Sunday, and USA Swimming gave Phelps a comically symbolic three-month suspension. (The next truly significant competition for U.S. swimmers is in July.)

Still, quashing pot is an unfortunate priority in the sports world. Ricky Williams nearly gave up his football career because of repeated positive tests. He said that pot helped alleviate his depression better than the prescription drugs he once endorsed. No wonder he had to be driven out of the public eye.

He was a dangerous man, threatening to unmask the pharmaceutical industry. Next thing you know, somebody might be saying that smoking grass helps take the edge off football's aches and pains more effectively than Vicodin. We can't have that.

Or can we?

In Holmes' case, even the police agreed the infraction was minor, arguing against an NFL sanction and saying that they wouldn't expect a steelworker to be suspended. The Phelps suspension damages the credibility of the sports world's anti-drug movement. Too many people already confuse the concerns about steroids and growth hormone with Victorian prudery.

Common sense says that athletes shouldn't be punished for pot any more than they would be if they ran a red light. Creative thinking says that the sports leagues should lobby for legalization and then treat the stuff like Gatorade or Budweiser. Call it the greening of athletics, which it will be, as soon as the checks clear.


Ah yes, that "Victorian prudery" --
