OT LV Metro does NOT fuck around

[Lanny]

We have a Krispy Kremes up here in Clark County, but it's a ways away from where I live and I haven't been there in years.

Amazing doughnuts though!

They're almost exclusively glazed donuts. I've tasted very very few glazed donuts that were different.

"High Tea" in St. Lucia meant Kobe burgers, sweet potato fries, gin cocktails, a whisky and a cigar. Forget this "scones and Earl Grey" stuff. If I was a millionaire I may not have left...

I can't stand Earl Grey tea. The gin cocktails and the whiskey and cigar sound really good, though. I used to smoke a lot of cigars but then I got married. No more whiskey and poker and cigars and dirty jokes, and long mustaches, and loud shirts and staying up late and fast food. On the plus side my wife claims I'm much happier.

 

[Lanny]

I know, man. I was thinking the same thing. The only tea I can stand in iced tea with a little lemon, no sugar. I am just not cultured enough to do the hot tea thing. BUT WITH Doughnuts??? Oh, hell no.

I love ice tea and especially with a squeeze of lemon. I can't have any sugar on my doctor's advice.

If you knew all the drink and foods I can't have you wouldn't believe me.

No artichoke, avacado, nuts, dried beans i.e. baked beans, cooked beans etc. but string beans are okay, no milk products, cheese etc., cantaloupe, papaya, orange juice, grapefruit juice, apricots, chocolate, potato, bananas, brown bread, tomato, spinach, nectarine, I know there's more but I can't think of it off the top of my head. I'm also severely limited in my fluid intake. I cheat and have one beer. Not supposed to have sugar or other carbohydrates except in limited quantity.

LOL, sounds like me, minus the wife.

I just got back from smoking a cigar; the experience of which was less than desirable since my usual smoking joint (the Shilo Inn on Airport Way) changed their hours without me knowing about it. So instead of closing at 12, they closed at 11. I got there at 10:30, thinking I had a nice hour and a half to smoke, and lit up a box pressed AVO Syncro Nicaragua. I paid $12 for it, and had it resting for over a year.

Then they kicked me out, and I had to finish off the second half of the fucking thing in my parent's Cadillac (I'm borrowing it until this heat wave is over; my usual car doesn't have A/C) with the windows open and the wind blowing. Not fun.

Very good cigar though. I definitely recommend it.

I see nothing wrong with this cop's actions. He followed as safely as he could, told the other cop ahead of him to fall back a bit because the guy was shooting at them. Kept reporting to dispatch. Did any of those bullets make it through the windshield? Safety glass? Man he got them though, then emptied another clip into the truck. Daaaammmnn...usually if a cop uses that much ammo I'm talking accessive force, but I think it was neccessary here.

Why if he shoots off a lot of rounds is it excessive force? I've read about tons of cases where a single magazine wasn't enough.

I'm just curious; not trying to start an argument. I think a lot of people have a misconceptions of how bullets and firearms behave. Remember: it's all about shot placement.

As for the windshield, yes, all of those bullets made it out (I'm sure it was loud as hell though!), but if the bullets weren't bonded to the lead core, then it's likely the jacket of the bullet separated from the round when exiting the windshield.

That is harsh..wild guess, sounds like a severe autoimmune disorder. Something like gout or rheumatoid arthritis...although , I bet they throw in the beans and cheese as a favor to your bride

Not excessive force. I guess just excessive. Its situational though. Sometimes fire more bullets than neccessary. Maybe he didn't need to unload that whole second clip. Maybe he did. A lot of officers will take a couple shots, find cover, guage the situation, and continue shooting if necessary. This cop went John McClane. Yippekiyye mother fucker on their ass. It seemed to be very warranted.

Yeah it looked like he was having a hardtime shooting through the windshield. I was thinking the same thing, it had to be loud as hell.

Sly knows where the best cigars are.

I've had gout and now take a med for it. One of the couple of dozen pills I have to take every day. Get my blood tested once a month, sometimes more often. No, the diet has nothing to do with the gout or an auto immune disorder.

I forgot to mention the experimental drug they gave us in Vietnam. They told us it was for malaria but decades later I learned it had nothing to do with malaria. 50 years later and I still don't know what it was for. I guess they thought we were all guinea pigs.

You know, I do wish nothing but the best for you. Do not feel like the Lone Ranger.. I would not be surprised if they still continue the practice today.

I can't believe they'd still do that shit. I feel like more rational people are in power these days. Dear God, they have to be in power.

At the risk of sounding like a conspiracy tin foil hat guy, the Gov has a long standing history of running "tests" and using unsafe drugs that have established adverse reactions. Imagine infecting troops with syphilis just to see what would happen..

At least we know the syphilis thing was over 60 years ago.

ps I would never think of you as a tin foil hat guy. Also, I don't blame you for being suspicious.

I have hard time believing that it is a coincidence that so many of us developed a lot of the same symptoms and illnesses beginning in their twenties, while the rest of the population will see the onset usually in their later years. Much higher rate of heart disease, Gout or similar auto immune disorders, degenerative bone disorders, cataracts and other eye disorders.

When I started having shit go on, civilian physicians would not even test for things that I was considered too young to develop, the VA was right on top of it. met a lot of guys in the same boat.

I've had numerous ailments that no one else in my family history ever had, either side. Yeah, I've wondered, especially since I was the very picture of good health at one time.
