OK, so I've been thinking about doing this for a while, and hopefully putting a stake in the sand here by declaring my intent will get me motivated. I've had some weird things happen in my life that individually don't seem to be that big of a deal, but looked at as a whole make for interesting pieces of a life. It wouldn't fill a book, but maybe ( Read more... )

So the Georgia code states that (section 16-11-126):

(a) A person commits the offense of carrying a concealed weapon when such person knowingly has or carries about his or her person, unless in an open manner and fully exposed to view, any bludgeon, metal knuckles, firearm, knife designed for the purpose of offense and defense, or any other ( Read more... )

Hey ernunnos, if I'm left-handed and left eye dominant, what does it mean if I consistently shoot handguns of all makes and calibers low and to the right? What causes that, and how do I fix it?

Screw your opera and Wim Wenders, Steiner, Hot Boyz is on UPN right now. This movie has everything: guns, stunted acting, voiceover narrative, roles for every rapper on Master P's No Limit record label in 1999 (including P himself, Snoop Doggy Dogg, a pre-rape charge Mystikal, and Silkk the Shokker in the lead, among others), plenty of fake tears ( Read more... )

Sifu is also a strong believer in cross-training, and ( Read more... )

So I started a new job a month ago, after three months of glorious unemployment. Unfortunately, it's with a national cable company that was previously subcontracting all of their cable modems to Excite@Home ( Read more... )

Had my first Wing Chun class this weekend, immediately followed by my first Kali class. (Wing Chun is a style of Kung Fu, and Kali is a Filipino weapons-based martial art also known as Escrima.) They were both pretty cool, but my initial impression is that Kali is going to be easier to pick up at first. Wing Chun is focused on precise, exact ( Read more... )

I would really, really like to go drinking with Dave Attelle. And I'm not just saying that because of "Insomniac", either. He's been one of my two favorite comedians for a long time, along with David Cross (who I actually met one Thanksgiving night at a bar here in Atlanta, and was a very cool guy). Dave Attelle just seems like the kind of guy ( Read more... )

I mentioned a few days ago that ernunnos is my doppleganger, so I guess I should follow through with an explanation. Perhaps, though, a better analogy is that he is me with the dial turned to 11. Evidence ( Read more... )
