I was doing a pretty good job of controlling my gun lust...until you posted the picture of that Smith. Dang it, gun lust is expensive!
YD LOL'd and LOL'd ... I came to see what she was reading, and I laughed too. Thanks - I needed that.
19. "Push to test."

"Release to detonate."
I used to teach my Soldiers that if they returned to the fighting position and couldn't remember which direction the claymore mine was pointed, it was pointed towards them.
"Equidistant between the extremes you generally find the truth."
After, listening to both sides for almost 37 years in law enforcement, that's a truism.
Safe Journey.

B.- +1 on rule one! I also have to give bonus points for anyone that actually quotes MST3K period. Number 19 is really sobering as well.
And hey, I like UNIX! I take offense as an old AT&T geek!
Have a great week and take care. Safe trip home!

The picture is an experiment, don't know if they work here. If they do, I have many toys to share.
Fearless Vampire Killers, I can't watch without seeing Sharon Tate torn apart by the Manson family or Roman Polanski, taking advantage of a 13 yr old girl.
They Live, one of my favorites, along with one of my favorite quotes.
Now one of my mundane own. From Army of Darkness.
Ash " good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun "
Brigid great list, laughed and laughed. M25 beat me to it but the Army of Darkness quote was perfect.
Ash: "good, bad, I'm the guy with the gun"
As for the MST3k...hmm I think I have a new series of DVDs to hunt for. Thanks for reminding me of them
Travel safe.
Based on nearly 20 years of hacking Unix/Linux, I believe 21 is true, but, after looking at Lisp variants and EMACS this summer as part of a self-education process, I've come to believe that MIT has better drugs than Berkeley's LSD -- designer molecules left over from secret Army experiments which are still classified. :)
Number 15 is a quote by Barry Goldwater during his 1964 presidential campaign.
Always liked that one.
That reminds me! Where did I place those claymores?
#15 - Barry Goldwater

Outstanding list ... ya’ gotts sum real keepers ’der!
Numbers 6, 7 and 15 have been in my top ten for a while.
Some of my other favorites...
When teaching the newbies (F.N.G.s) safety on the range:
• “Keep your booger hooks off of the bang switch!”
From one of my heroes — John Wayne:
• “Life is hard; it’s harder if you’re stupid.”
This one is a little long, but it drives my liberal friends apoplectic:
• “Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say, ‘What should be the reward of such sacrifices?’ If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen!” — Samuel Adams (1722 – 1803)
BTW, you are a gifted and talented writer ... please keep it up.
Semper Fi.
