the more humanity waits, the worse the damage gets and we can all wave goodbye to our species in 3 centuries(or less).

So the gun debate rages on but I can buy a legal flamethrower for 1500 bucks.
http://bgr.com/2015/07/31/x15-flamethrower-price-1600-dollars/
Quote: The flamethrower, which you can order online here, is developed by a company called XMatter that’s based in Ohio and that specializes in making flamethrowers that are priced for the average consumer.
In XMatter’s FAQ section, it claims the X15 has a range of up to 50 feet if you use the recommended fuel mixture of 90% diesel and 10% gasoline. Using this mixture also lets you fire out three gallons’ worth of fuel in just a minute, the company says, although since the entire fuel tank holds three gallons, you probably don’t want to waste it all in one shot.
In addition to selling the flamethrower itself, the company also sells its own napalm mixture that you can use as a gelling agent for your fuel that will cost you $139 a pop. Don’t worry, though: Together, each pack of the napalm mixture will last you for around 55 gallons’ worth of fuel so you won’t be constantly ordering pricey refills.
As cool as this sounds, there is an elephant in the room — namely, is it legal to sell flamethrowers to consumers? XMatter says that it’s not legal in Maryland and that you need to have a proper permit to own one in California. In all the other states, however, flamethrowers are basically unregulated… for now at least…
We’ve posted some videos of the X15 Flamethrower in action below for your enjoyment.

I highly recommend that you buy two.
I wish they sold fuel when I had mine. The fuel was the trickiest part to get right.

Hey now, priorities. We gotta get guns out of the hands of senior citizens who don't handle their own finances. Unregulated napalm flamethrowers are the least of our worries.

Moving roller coasters is doable, but a pain. I suggest starting elsewhere on the Great Lakes and arriving in Sandusky by boat to visit.
It's a much more enjoyable trip than driving through Ohio.
If you've never done it, may I suggest you keep it that way.

My flamethrower dreams of childhood were crushed a long time ago on youtube.
There isn't a boy who ever shoveled away a Lake Erie snowstorm that didn't dream of speeding that job up a hundredfold with a flamethrower.
But it turns out it's really not a very efficient means of snow removal at all.

my friend did it when we were kids, it turned the entire driveway into an ice sheet, & when his dad ran out of the house to whip his ***, slipped & fell on it.
funny story, but he just got double the *** whoopin' later on.

And guns are for hunting armadillos.
http://www.refinery29.com/2015/08/91701/texas-man-shoots-armadillo-hospitalized-instead
Quote: It's all fun and games until the target fights back. Or, at least defends itself with its built-in armor.
A Texas man was hospitalized this week after attempting to shoot an armadillo, only to have the bullet hit him in the head instead.
Is anyone else not surprised this was the outcome? Did he not know the armor usually acts as a natural bullet deterrent?
According to The Guardian, the man fired three shots just before 3 am on Thursday, and was airlifted to the hospital where his jaw was wired shut after a bullet ricocheted off the (probably pissed) armadillo.
It's unknown whether or not the animal survived. Considering he got the last laugh, if he did die, at least it was after exacting sweet, sweet revenge.
The craziest part: This isn't the first time someone in the US has tried to fire at an armadillo. In April, a Georgia man shot at an armadillo and the bullet ended up lodged in his mother-in-law's back. (There's got to be a joke in there somewhere).
Wildlife management claims shooting is an effective method of disposal, but we say just leave the suckers alone. Sure, they uproot flowers and dig holes, but is a little extra time cleaning up the garden worth possibly getting shot? Nah.

I can tell you right now the women advocating being topless aren't large-chested women.
Bra burning is reserved for those who view them as some sort of sign of male oppression and not, you know, a needed orthopedic support.
Apparently, habitual bra wearing contributes to sagging and are only useful if their weight contributes to back pain.

Everyone is ok with boobs until you remember that there are alot of boobs you really, really don't want to *** see.
Not much different from topless guys. Nothing like pepperoni nips and more chest hair than your local Sasquatch.

Which was my point. The girls who want rid of them apparently don't have to deal with sore backs. ^^;

Honestly, I couldn't care less. In fact, I'd forego seeing nice ones and not so nice ones if it meant those people weren't in my way EVERYWHERE I go. Truly, this world would be wonderful if there weren't so many people in it.
