    Hey Kirk, what can you tell us about Sarah Palin? Is she the pro-courier choice?
  1.  
    Our little Sarah is quite pro-life. Funny thing she came in as a reformer talking about openness and clarity and ethics and has pretty much ignored it. The guy she replaced was such a jack-ass that she still can be counted on as an improvement.

    There's a picture of her sitting on a couch that has a massive bearskin-head and all-draped over it that her father shot.It looks surreal and does n't go with the curtains....

    Kirk; are you the father of Bristol's child? that would be quite an MT scoop.

    Will, my lovely wife would most likely castrate me if went anywhere near the govenor's teenage daughter or anyone else's for that matter.
    Overdrive, hunting and the shooting sports are so common up here, that every fall I want to put in for a moose tag because it's just something men do. A good trophy, trumps good interior design for some hunters. Me I'm of the "if you kill it you should eat it camp" and I tend to look down on trophy hunting. Dam it, just writing this makes me remember how long it's been sense I've eaten fresh game. Now I'm going to have to talk myself out of buying that Saiga .308, again. Just have to keep reminding myself how much work is involved in packing out a quartered moose.

    It's certainly a different way of life where you are Kirk but isn't it great how bikes can bring people together?
  3.  
    Sure, enough.

    Watch out Overdrive; the place is full of Huntengers

    Overdrive, I didn't think you were. I was kind of afraid people would be on my ass for wanting to turn one of God's most magnificent herbivores into tasty dinners. Sorry if that offends my vegan brothers and sisters. Now, any offended meat-eaters I have a much less polite response. Alaska is a very different place then England and Anchorage is just plain weird because in spite of it's small size it functions as "The City" for example. I live in a nice suburban upper-middle class neighborhood (I married well and she's got a couple nickels) where moose eat our trees but I could show you the site of a recent "gang related" shooting and we'd only have to go a couple blocks. Rugged frontier types mingle with whiny liberal arts majors. I could go on. Anyway, if you do make it over here (like I always say to my fellow messengers both current and ex.) look me up. We'll drink some beers and if your into it we could go shoot some guns. I'd need some advanced notice on the last one because most of my buddies have more and nicer guns then I do and they'd love a chance to share our sport with someone from a place where it's not allowed . Love to shoot 'em hate to buy 'em so I only have as many as I actually have a use for, one right now but it's getting at least one companion this fall.

    ooh, oooh - kirk, me! i wanna shoot guns. but not at animals though. can i shoot tin cans or something..?

    before you make your offer, i should come clean: i only see in 2D and often walk into walls b/c i've misjudged where it is. :cry:

    but i know there are enough wide open spaces in alaska to make my dream come true! :bigsmile:

    I meant some playful casual target shooting. Oh, and I put the order wrong it's shoot guns then drink beer. I have'nt gone hunting sense I was a kid and you have to deal with all kinds of permits for most anything except varmits. BTW Aren't there like clubs in the UK. you can join if you want to shoot, if I remember correctly . With your optic problem a nice indoor range seams just the ticket a straight lane with only your target in front of you, also how do you ride a bike?

    alas i see my jokes have missed the mark. :sad:

    i mean, i really do want to shoot tin cans in the american countryside, but it is part of some weard gummo fantasy i have.

    (that was a joke too. i have no gummo fantasy.)

    but i do, one day, maybe when i move back, want to shoot tin cans in the sticks. *nods*

    One of my jokes is to answer a joke with a straight answer. Once a well known gun writer was offered a custom made string tie like you see in cowboy movie the artist said he'd make the part that holds the two strings together in the shape of the writers favorite thing to shoot. This man who had hunted everything on the planet requested it be in the shape of a tin can. I always liked that story.

    Now about Sarah, some people think that McCain choose her to pander to women. I think they're wrong as her most ardent supporters tend to be men. The ones who look at some of the weirdness in her administration trooper-gate, her backing away from that whole "open and transparent" thing that got her elected and all the other stuff that makes most people at least ask a few questions, they see and think she's just aces. Mostly guys. I imagine right now somewhere in America an ardent democrat male is cutting the Pallin part of a bumper sticker to add to his O'bama bumper sticker.
