  1. If you're interested in trying one, I would be more than happy to send one to you. They are quite fun to write with.
  2. LOL! That was funny.No drunks either. The "good" brothers will either make them drag, or wait for them in the parking lot. Stuff like that isn't tolerated on the job sites I'm working on. It may be more common on some of the other job sites. The power house jobs will give you a never never, (never eligible for rehire) regardless of what trade you try an come back out there with. Southern Company runs most the power houses in the south. So that nixes a large chunk of available jobs.
  3. I'm starting to get sick of this union bashing. Rats are every bit as bad if not worse than their union counterparts, in regards to some things. I know this, I ain't worked with any meth heads since I've joined. I ain't had a problem with my tools walking off anymore either.
  4. En sorte Diaboli! There's more to being in a union and being a good brother than what's being expressed here. Don't judge us based on what one man has to say. And yes we do get paid more than non union workers. We are also expected to produce a higher quality of work than non union workers. I'm not saying non union contractors don't do good work. I'm just saying, there are differences.
  5. Reach out and touch them. Just keep quiet about it.
  6. Always up for more knowledge. Especially on long range shooting.
  7. That's the info I was looking for.
  8. I'm feeling generous right now. What type of pole/pipe would you use to mount a basketball goal on? I'm thinking of cementing one at the end of my parking lot for the kids and teens to play on. This is of course I get apartment approval. I may do it regardless. Just dig and cement the thing at night.
  9. Look at some of the offerings from Waterman. They are nice pens and won't break your bank account. Either go with fine point or medium point. Depending on how artsy you want your lettering to look. Fine point will work a lot better for small lettering. The take away, is its less flashy when doing bigger lettering. Another suggestion would be to buy a fountain pen calligraphy set from your local craft store. One of the ones that have 4 or 5 different nibs in the kit. They are cheaper pens. However, they will give you an idea of the nib point you want to use. Heck, they may even have some you can play with in the store.
  10. I want that d**n pen! Maybe I can find a knock off version of it. The reviews on it are hilarious. Maybe if I'm nice Redline will buy it for me.
  11. Now to blow your mind. My Grandad gave me a hand drafting kit when I was young. Like around 9 or 11. It was his from college. Which would have been around 1946 I believe. It was the year he got back from WWII when he started. Anyway. I'll be damned if I know how to use it. It is cool to have though.
  12. Only problem is. It always works for the other guy. Hell, if I so much as fart sideways the IRS nails me to the wall.
  13. Booming Yay and slanging rocks is hard work. I'll hook you up with a key. You rock up that key, and turn it into 50G I'll let you keep half. Or I'll pay your bills for 6 months. However, you gotta keep on pushing that weight if you choose the second option.Y'all know I'm just funnin. It is disgusting and despicable how our government assistance programs work. You see it quite frequently down here. The meth heads are worse about it then the ghetto dwellers. Hell my crack head cousin is bad about it too. Only she buys food with her food stamps. Can't purchase a rock with food stamps, but you can with cash. Least she used too. I think she has gone back to stripping now. So she very well may be off the food stamps now. Side note. Since I have no shame what so ever. If any of y'all are looking for a crack head stripper to settle into a "relationship" with. I will give y'all a hell of deal on her.
  14. They don't work worth a d**n on "water proof" paper. That I can definitely assure you. I own several different fountain pens. I believe it was 11 at last count. Probably upwards of thirty different nibs too. First question. Have you ever written with a fountain pen before? Its a whole different concept. Least as far as printing goes. Question 2. What type fountain pen are you looking for? Feather dipped in ink? Refillable bladder? Bamboo shaved down? Replaceable bladder? They all have subtle differences in the way they work. As well as the cost. Question 3. Are you interested in doing more than one style of lettering? Different nibs do different sized and defferent style lines. What works for writing in script may look horrendous when writing in print. And vice versa. I use my pens for tattoo designs. As well as lettering. I find you get better control and prettier lines from fountain pens then any other type of pen or marker. I have some that cost 10 dollars for a pen and four nibs. Up to 200 dollars for a pen and 1 nib. Its all dependent on the style of writing you are looking to accomplish. As well as the amount of time you intend to invest in learning how to use one. It takes practice and patience to get proficient with a fountain pen. Its not something you get good at in a week.
  15. That's gonna be the next step. Wait a second. This contains vegetable oil. That nixes veggies from the list.
  16. Radiation. Not experiments. Don't you listen to Enviro Punk?
  17. Ain't given up yet. Its become a challenge now. You ain't kidding. You don't screw around with shipping.
  18. 45 minutes nothing. Its taken a d**n hour and a half and I'm still not all the way done yet.
  19. That would definitely be a hood rat.
  20. Doesn't beat splicer knife though.
  21. http://news.yahoo.com/coke-drop-controversial-ingredient-entirely-163823807.html Coca cola is apparently removing Brominated Vegetable Oil from its drinks. A Mississippi teenager complained about it after she discovered it was also used a a fire retardent. She filed a petition, caused a stir and achieved her goal. Yay her. I hate to burst her bubble. Water makes a good fire retardent too. So does many other liquids. I would be more concerned with the citric acid and hydrochloric acid used in making said drinks. As well as the Polyethylene Terephthalate used as the drink container. On a positive note. It is one less chemical to be consumed. I do commend the girl for her efforts. I just can't help but poke fun at the reasoning for it.
  22. Damnit!!! I just sprayed my cell phone with water when I read that!
  23. So let me see if I got this straight. Ladle beats Raider. Sledge hammer crushes ladle. Paper covers sledge hammer. Scissors cut paper. Sledge hammer crushes scissors. Is that correct?
  24. Its a possibility. My newest sledge hammer beats ladle though.
