Makes me wonder what is in the "Monster" energy drinks.

[Goofystacey]

Check this one out.

Monster energy drinks are quite yummy. About twice the size of a Red Bull, and better tasting.

Not as good as my favorite -- Amp from Mt. Dew.

Self Darwined.

Patterson Nissan has canceled this year's event and sent remaining contestants home.

That's not fair. How far into the contest were they?

[Bird Jenkins]

Sore loser.

[Goofystacey]

First 48 hours.

[Goofystacey]

He quite on his own. Other reports say he had been in trouble with the law for beating his wife.

Not that Kmart did anything wrong, but don't you think they should lock down their firearms after hours? Seems like every gun store I've been in, has a way to lock the racks at night.

I predict a lawsuit in someone's future.

[PBRSTREETGANG]

Thanks. That's not as bad then.

I've been watching the HOHB contest for years, even judging one and the lack of sleep really gets to some people. About day 3, some of the contestants are ready to kill each other, and you don't want to be the judge that tells them they are DQ'd for pulling their hands off the truck.

Getting a shot-gun and shells, he tried to make his way out, but he was stopped.

K-Mart still sells shotguns and shells? Not any I've been in lately. But then again most of the ones in Texas closed a couple of years ago, although the one in Killeen, adjacent to Ft. Hood is still open, along with a couple of others. They most definitely do not carry guns.

But that's OK, because the "pawn" shop across the road does, both new and used. So does the gun shop about a mile down the road. It has 1700 guns on display and 3,000 or so in stock. K-Mart is not missed.

Lock the racks? Most put the guns away in a vault or safe, or a minimum in some sort of cage. Maybe not in a retail store open 24 hours, even if the sporting goods department isn't staffed all those hours.

ICK! Amp tastes like latex paint.

Makes me wonder what is in the "Monster" energy drinks.

I suspect the contents will be revealed in the upcoming lawsuit trial.

[Petronski]

Six of them!


Good grief.

[El Gato]

I just checked there on line site, and while they didn't show guns or ammo, and I wouldn't expect them to, they did have lots of shooting and hunting accessories. Including 2nd, 3rd, and 4th generation night vision rifle scopes (note NOT used for hunting), reactive targets, clay target throwers, red dot rifle scopes (also not for hunting), regular scopes (convert your deer rifle to a sniper rifle?), etc, etc. So maybe I've misjudged them.

Isn't that the case with all losers of "hands on a hardbody" contests? They always quit on their own, except in the rare cases when they're dragged kicking and screaming from the truck. Sore loser.
