Guess you're missing out on some delicious moose steaks then.

One of the worst things in the current kinja format is that you can't tell what post I was replying to.

Now, if you took it with a boar spear, you'd be crowing about it for years. Stand your ground against 200 lbs of charging pig with those big tusks, plant the but of the spear against the ground and aim the point into its chest.

It might be a flash suppressor. Looks like they were night hunting when the pigs are most active. Flash suppressor will help preserve your natural night vision for a follow-up shot.

I say leave the curio and relic guns alone. And really anything else antique that was made with ivory. Ivory was the plastic of the last century. It's soft and pliable and easy to shape like plastic. That's why it was so commonly used. No reason to destroy antiques.

Are you....flirting....with me.....

Wild animals have a very different flavor than domesticated. Just try the difference between farm raised and wild caught salmon to understand. not to mention different species have different flavors. A lot of Brazilian restaurants will offer a wide variety of meats to try.

Hunters were the first conservationists. After losing wild buffalo and passenger pigeons to over hunting, they learned their lesson. Protection of lands and species to make sure they don't go extinct. because you can't hunt extinct species.

Am I the only one who read the headline and pictured The Flash in a wheelchair?

And have a real interest in a wide variety of topics that the will make you boring at most parties, like art history, Victorian playwrights, 1930's scientists name Will, musicals in German, and words that ryhme with orange.

If I was spending hundreds of dollars on these figures, I'd have to do something with them to justify it. Like make a stop motion film.

What if it was a 40lb diamond of exceptional color and clarity?

Philisophically, the only thing that is truly "me" is my brain. A combination of biochemistry and memory collection.

The kernel of truth to that is similar to what Bruce Lee felt about martial arts kata. Kata are those rigid forms that are taught in karate and kung fu that you see practiced in old martial arts films. Bruce Lee felt that they were too rigid and formal. They teach you to respond to a certain set of forms with

Yeah, I'm seeing the entire Shark Tank going "Ewwww" at that price point.

I studied at a Jeet Kun Do school for several years. JKD is the martial arts philosophy that Bruce Lee started with Dan Inosanto. It can be summarized as learning every martial arts skill you can, throwing out what doesn't work for you and keeping what does, thus creating your own personal martial art.

I can believe it of those masters. It surprises me when I see a web cartoonist who usually draws in simple lines and shapes post a piece of masterful artwork. There's skill in their simplicity.

In "On Writing", Stephen Kin pointed out that you need to know the rules of proper writing (grammar, spelling, sentence structure, etc.) before you can break them. That really applies to everything. If you don't really know how things work, if you don't know what's in the box, you can't work outside the box.

Two guys walked into a bar. Which is really dumb because you would think after the first guy hit it the second guy would watch out.
