Pam Grier is always prepared. “I’m always ready for an emergency,” Grier, 73 told Rolling Stone. “Clothes, keys, boots by the door in case of an earthquake. A backpack with extra water. Anywhere I go, I have a fire extinguisher in my truck, in case people throw a cigarette out the window. And a 20-inch chainsaw, oiled and ready to go.”

And that chainsaw is on hand for any scenario, including cheating men, according to the actress.

“I’ve seen them take their rings off in the elevators when I step in. You think you slick? You think you’ll come home and I’ll take care of you? … Because I’m gonna’ cut your -–- up, -------. Don’t worry about my guns. Worry about my chainsaw.”

I see this all the time here. People bragging about I have this or that gun, and am very proficient, blah, blah...

I looked over the front sight at another person. Later, I looked at him across a courtroom.

I'd rather not have to do either again.

Isn’t Rosey the one who did needlepoint?

[Lee N. Field]

“She sounds nice.”

[PallMal]

Yes, he did the needlepoint.

I'm surprised he's still around at 90, given his size.

[Jamestown1630]

Some people just have good genes.

[real saxophonist]

And Pam had some good jeans.

[Jamestown1630]

I wouldn’t have noticed.

But a man who does needlepoint...

I remember when she was still known as Rosey, the ‘Gentle Giant’. Great defense. Almost saved Robert Kennedy. A bit crochety.

[PallMal]

But at least this goes to show you that a hulking man doing needlepoint doesn’t mean he wanted his weiner chopped off when he was a kid.

[Jamestown1630]

Needlepoint looks easy - largely one stitch over and over. But it’s very exacting. I think it’s probably very relaxing, too, with endless design opportunities.

[Jyotishi]

“’I’ve seen them take their rings off in the elevators when I step in. You think you slick?’”

So she uses men to find out if she is attractive and then blames them for being her test subjects.

[Jamestown1630]

I imagine there have always been plenty of male artists, crafters, chefs, nurses, etc., who don’t want to be chopped, either.

My favorite by Quentin Tarantino. Loved the soundtrack. Robert Forrester was good too.

[RandallFlagg]

Really? Interesting.

[HereInTheHeartland]

“It’s their culture.”

Who’s culture?

[Jamestown1630]

Whose.

[HereInTheHeartland]

Or, “What culture are you referring to?”

[Jamestown1630]

It’s still ‘whose’.

Who’s refers to ‘who is’ or ‘who has’.

Pam was always a hottie and a badass!
