[Revolting cat!]

An isolated incident, I’m sure.

Midland....Dubya territory.

Stay safe, Mr President.

Amish beard cutters??

If he wasn’t Muslim, they would have released his name.

Notice:

This was NOT an attempted Terrorist Attack.

. . . just thought I'd get in front of the authorities.

Fishy. Day old fishy. With flys.

[Scotsman will be Free]

TSA discovered it therefore it will turn out to be fake because those clowns couldn’t find their asses with both hands.

HAHA

[Eleutheria5]

Only a radical minority within the Amish community. The vast majority of Amish are pieceful and law-abiting.

[cartan]

Muslim? Or a redneck who finally wanted to do something about that mole in his garden?

Back in 1964, when I was 12-years-old, my father (a general contractor) used to send me down to the local hardware store on my Yamaha 80 to buy a case of dynamite and blasting caps whenever he got to the point that a hole he had to dig would not go any further.

They sold it to me, charged it to my father's construction company, I strapped it on the scooter and drove it across town.

I often have to contemplate why something like that is not even possible today and what would happen to all of the participants if it were.

Sad.

Can anyone clarify or define ‘military style wrapping?’

Big deal, dynamite! My father used to send me out to buy him cigarettes.

Just Texas freepers going to celebrate new years.

Active duty, getting transferred, had his family with him. Probably nothing more than training materials.
