    It is all pure bullshit (which I realize is a bit unfair to actual male cattle, who have a legitimate excuse).

    Pure bullshit can also be sold, at a high price I might add, but I'm not seeing the general public buying what they are selling.  And as the muskrat continues, it's only going to get worse.

    Yes, but he comes from this fantasy royal family of Dunkel.

    Yeah, but the House of Dunkel keeps having magical members.  Granted, they tend to be clones, which doesn't help the inbreeding factor, but it does keep the line alive.

    Besides typing in Welsh, what can cats do on computers? 

     

    They can be of great help.  At least that is what Explorer keeps telling me.  She turns off the screen saver by batting at the mouse some mornings.

    Might this be a reaction to meds?

    Oh, yeah, most of my meds have a side effect of being blood thinners.  The proximal cause was walking into the metal frame of my bed, that cut my shin.  It's been a few days and it is only now starting to scab over.

    If fired straight up, the bullet will fall at terminal velocity for a lump of metal less than one ounce.  Think hailstone. 

    If fired in at an angle, it may follow a ballistic arc and maintain a significant fraction of muzzle velocity,  

     

    The MythBusters proved that guns fired straight up aren't fatal, will not even break skin.  They even published and got peer review for that study.  One of their few where it was “proved” by modern scientific standards.  Adam, on his podcast, was quite proud of that.

    At least Jay did not scream "RUN AWAY" as she made her withdrawal. 

     

    No, but I'll bet she was thinking it quite loudly.

     

    What?  Am I the only one that has volumes on thoughts?

    Still, I think they got the state question wrong. Nor should it be, "Would you like chili with that?" What they really want to ask is, "What would you like with your chili?" (Although, like my first bowl of chili in NM, you can get your chili straight, without other additives.)

    I miss the mom-and-pop restaurant on the highway that ran through McGregor range.  Never did find out why they were allowed to be there, but they served damn good food.

    Ah, thanks for the explanation.

    Danes are fireworks mad. I have seen people spend $25 or more on a single rocket. There is a reason I take cover every New Year's Eve, which is when every Dane goes mad with firing shit into the sky.

     

    There is a 24 - hour 365 days a year firework store in Small City, Kansas.  We get fireworks for most federal holidays, as well as when the high school football team scores a touch-down, never mind winning a game.  

    And, yeah some of the bigger rockets or mortar shells are expensive.

    If you are going to add chilis to something, other than as powder, pretty much always green.

    That is my answer as well.  However, as just “red or green” it's the NM state question:

    Quote

    In 1996 the New Mexico State Legislature passed a House Joint Memorial declaring “Red or Green?” as the official state question.  This refers to the question always asked whether one prefers red or green chile when ordering New Mexican cuisine.  This measure was passed to signify the importance that the chile industry has on the economy of the state.  New Mexico produced 99,000 tons of chile in 2000, valued at nearly 49 million dollars, the number one cash crop in terms of sales in the state.  With the adoption of this state question, New Mexico is acknowledging the financial gain and national recognition that chile generates for the state.
