Our local neighborhood thief
Notice he has his eyes closed? It's a common tactic amongst convicts, knowing that eyes are what people remember the most, that's why cons try to blink when their mug shots are taken.
That's all good, motherfucker. I'll never forget your face.
Alto was keeping him busy when his ol' lady shagged her ass down to my place this weekend for backup.
He won't be around our neighborhood again after we dealt with his ass. We reached an "understanding".
Neighborhood Watch in action. Old School Neighborhood Watch, that is......
I can handle a liar, I can understand a fucking junkie but I hate hate hate a thief.
Fighting knives
Why in the fuck is it that all these so-called fighting knife makers have the finger grooves on the same side as the edge?
Anybody that's even slightly familiar with knife fighting knows that if you slash down, you hit bone. You slash up, you hit tissue. Think about it - down, you connect with skull, shoulder, or ribs. Up, you're getting throat and gut.
True, if you're having to resort to a knife then you're in serious shit but that's just my point - you're desperate and NEED to end it now.
The best fighting knife I ever owned was a Gerber Mk II dagger that I talked a Legionnaire out of in a bar in Paris, but that was stolen from me a couple of years back by an ex-friend.
I did buy a knife made by SOG that has potential last month. It's got a 6" heavy blade, shaped like a meat knife, but it has no hilt, just a groove in the blade to fit my index finger, but again, it's on the wrong side. With some slow filing (so as to not ruin the temper) I can shape it to fit my thumb comfortably, but why in the hell am I having to do that?
What I do like about the knife is I can undo the keeper and the knife is secure, but pull it out 1/2" and while the sheath will retain it even upside down, it's quick and easy to pull.
Never mind the dog hair on the carpet, CharlieGodammit is shedding like a motherfucker and I haven't vacuumed in a couple of days.
My everyday knife is a Buck 110 in a nylon holster. I've used lapping compound so that can open it one-handed, I've cut serrations on the thumb rest, it's razor sharp and I put in the holster the same way every time so that I can pull it, open it quicker than a switchblade and put it away blind, but it's a tool although it can substitute as a decent fighter in a pinch.
Does anybody have a suggestion for a decent fighting knife for under a hundred bucks? Keep in mind that carrying a dagger is a felony here in Kalifornia (carrying a firearm is either a misdemeanor or felony at the discretion of the officer, figure that one out) and I want a legal weapon. Remember, heavy blade, finger grooves on the opposite side of the edge, but grooves are optional, I can do without them but the handle has to be ergonomical.
Any help would be appreciated

GOP runners
I gotta tell you, I'm not following the presidential race so far - it's way too early to even think about a decision as to who I'm going to support but I have to say a couple of things about 2 of the GOP candidates.
Donald Trump - you're a fucking joke. True, you've got a huge fortune and you obviously know how to balance a budget and manage money, but you're notoriously anti-military, you have a reputation for financial ruthlessness (think eminent domain here, asshole) and your hairpiece is fucking ridiculous.
Newt Gringrich - nobody takes you serious either. If you were to by-some off-the-wall chance win the primary, you'd be handing Obama a victory. Fuck off.
Seriously. I think of all the candidates so far, Herman Cain is my choice. But if LTC Allen West were to throw his hat in the ring, he'd have my vote hands down. He understands that a strong military is essential, he obviously has organizational skills (keeping a military unit in beans & bullets AND earning their respect is no easy task) and above all, he has some fucking balls.
But what do I know, I'm just a dumbass redneck........

I bet I know who won this one
Emergency crews are responding to an accident in the northbound lanes of Highway 99 near Turlock. A big rig reportedly ran over a motorcyclist. The California Highway Patrol has closed the northbound lanes while a medical helicopter lands on the freeway. The southbound lanes remain open; traffic is moving slowly.

Just sayin'......
President Bush tried and failed to find and kill bin laden. President Clinton tried and failed. President Obama tried and succeeded. The moral of this is.....
If you want someone dead, hire a black guy.

Thankee, thankee
To all the kind folks that gave me tips on my earlier post worrying about CharlieGodammit getting poisoned by my soon-to-be-ex-neighbors:
Thanks, some of the suggestions I will implement right away, such as suggestions about baiting him and using a shock collar which I bought tonight.
Some will go into effect in a week or 3 concerning cameras as soon as I can possibly afford them.
Some I can't do (but still appreciate) such as putting him in the garage or caging him in the house. It was 95 degrees here today and I have a detached garage. I went in the garage to get an AC filter today and broke out in a sweat after just a few seconds. The heat would kill him. I won't cage a wolfdog (or any dog, for that matter) he's just too active. Caging him would break him and I don't want that. Plus, I'm gone 14+ hours a day.
Now. Only me feeding him. He's funny about that. The Sikh market down the road employs a guy a couple hours a night to help out with re-stocking and Donnie is a little slow but he's a great guy. I have him hold CGD when I go in and slip him a few bucks and a doggie treat for CGD while I go score my beer. CGD will never accept the DT from Donnie until I come out even though he likes him.
CGD was an adult when I got him so I never got the opportunity to train to not eat anything from the yard. And believe me, that motherfucker is a chowhound. He kills and eats birds, ground squirrels, and I suspect the occasional stray cat that wanders into his yard. I try to keep his weight down so I only feed him one sixteen ounce can of dogfood a day, a couple of doggie treats and 1 piece of velveeta (at bedtime) a day. Now, that motherfucker runs his ass off all day long, patrolling his yard - I know, because I watch him when I'm off - yet when I tried to weigh him on my digital bathroom scales for this post, it wouldn't even register. I climbed on with a weight of 209, then picked him up and tried again. It wouldn't even register which tells me he's in excess of 90 pounds (the scales max out at 300 pounds) but I figure he's at about 125 pounds. He's getting his calories somewhere.
He's a big-ass wolfdog. He was a slim and trim 90 pounder until I cut his nuts off, then he gained more weight - all muscle and attitude.
And this is why I bought the shock collar - to keep him from eating shit that I don't personally give him. I plan on spending the weekend watching him from inside, and nailing him whenever he tries to stalk anything, eating shit friends and strangers (to him) throw over the fence, and anything else he may find. And I'm hoping that not only will this keep him from getting poisoned by my asshole neighbors but it may also help him to drop a few pounds.
But again, I want to thank each and every one of you motherfuckers that took the time to suggest something. I appreciate it, I really do. Y'all kick ass.
