There have been some great and fun ones in the 22 years that I've been around here. But the Great Zombie Manifesto is far and a away the greatest thread ever on here (see screenshot below).

And the greatest board ever on here was the short-lived Thunderdome Board. Easy GOAT.


All of this!!

This is awesome!
My kids went there and my grandfather played on the 1935 National Championship basketball team

OP needs to re-title post


It's confusing as titled

This thread is literally titled "downed PILOTS are safe" and one would assume that means 2 people are picked up

Why is fox saying only 1 pilot recovered?

I was on a plane flight from Houston to New Orleans and we were on approach with the entire "buckle up stay in your seats" scenario and my stomach went ape shite. I tried my hardest but as soon as we landed I had to go BAD and hopped up and ran into the bathroom on the plane. Well fricking apparently per regulations once someone gets up and barricades themselves in a toilet, the plane has to stop. So I locked up an entire runway while flight attendants were banging on the door asking me to come out. I had to speak with police because apparently they were called. The plane had to be searched. There were about 130 pissed off people and I was slightly embarrassed
The one in St Francisville is using a closed system and recycling the water.

I've always wanted a Marlin JM stamped 1894 Cowboy in .44mag, longer hexagonal barrel w/ peep sights.


I have the 1893 chambered in .32 special. Manufactured in 1904 I think and it is the takedown version.

Shielded cable


My problem is that I run all of my cable down to a central location through conduit in the wall. Bulky cable won't be able to accomodate it.

Move to a less trashy place


Good point. I'll move out of my trailer house immediately and hopefully pick up a nice 1 bedroom house where squirrels aren't allowed to live. Probably like Mandeville
I run 8 cameras hard wired with cat6 at my house. Something is eating them. I don't want to run this shite in conduit. Would wire loom work or is there something else that would work better. 2 are currently out because of these fricking squirrels or mice or whatever they are.

That's what bothers me the most about that picture.


I understand your concern but remember that 95% of the time the NG has no ammo or magazines. Just like in this picture. Not a magazine in sight.

Any tips for someone who has bought and sold things online, but never watches and never anything quite that valuable?


Diligence. Never want the deal so bad that you can't walk away. Get the admin from whatever place you buy from to do a check on the seller. If it's a place like Chrono24 or Bob's you can pay for an authenticity check from them. I can give you a ton more when you get ready to actually pull the trigger.

There was a time where you were incredibly safe there because I ran that sales corner for 10 years and sniffed out 20 scammers per day.

It's the same transmission. It was a GM Ford joint effort in development. A huge bag of shite
