Quint: I value my life a whole lot more than $3,000 chief. I'll find him for three but I'll catch him and kill him for ten. For that you get the head, the tail, the whole damn thing.

Any bets on the first poster to insult a large number of Christians and bait "young earth creationists" into jumping into this thread?

Why do this?
