Fake Army Ranger Outs Himself At FR

In my time here on FR, I claimed to have served in the US Army Rangers. While I served in the Army from 1988 until 1991, I was a 31K (Combat Signalman), never a Ranger. I never served in a Ranger Unit. I served with 11th Air Defense Artillery out of Ft. Bliss. I won't get into why, how I came to do what I did. To do so would be to make excuses or to try to make a justification for what there is none. To do so would cause more offense to those I have offended by my actions. Instead I offer a deeply humble apology and stand ready to deservedly recieve any ridicule thrown my way. I say only this, I have never said one ill word against the Rangers I so longed to be, the Army in which I ...
SKINNING AND FUR HANDLING

Proper fur handling is very important. It can bring much personal satisfaction from doing a job well and it can also result in a better price from the fur buyer. Fur handling starts at the trap site. If trapped in the water, the fur bearer should be rinsed clean of any mud or vegetation. Next, attempt to remove as much excess water as possible. Muskrat can be held by the head and shaken to remove much of the water. Fur bearers can be stroked with your hand from the head to the tail to squeeze out water, or rolled in dry snow to clean and soak up excess water. In cold weather, do not lay a wet animal on ice or any metal surface because the guard hairs will freeze to the surface and the pelt ...

Third Time America may be ready for a new political party. Thursday, June 1, 2006 12:01 a.m. EDT Something's happening. I have a feeling we're at some new beginning, that a big breakup's coming, and that though it isn't and will not be immediately apparent, we'll someday look back on this era as the time when a shift began. All my adult life, people have been saying that the two-party system is ending, that the Democrats' and Republicans' control of political power in America is winding down. According to the traditional critique, the two parties no longer offer the people the choice they want and deserve. Sometimes it's said they are too much alike--Tweedledum and Tweedledee. Sometimes ...

SLASHDOT -- Mariox19 wonders if people have thought about "what to do with your disposable camera when you're finished with it? TechTV has an article describing how to reach out and zap someone with a home-made stun gun." Now that would be a real Kodak Moment. In his latest Cryptogram, Bruce Schneier half-jokingly warns not to let airport security find out about this, lest they ban cameras along with nail clippers. Accordingly, the first rule of the Home Stun Gun Club is. Don't go telling people about your garage armory--the place with the assorted sledge hammers, nail gun and potato gun. I don't know about hand-rolling a taser from a disposable camera. Compared to a real ...

In the fall of 1998 I built my Coffee Can Foundry. It worked much better than expected and served as a proof of concept test. After the success with the CCF MkI I decided to move up to bigger and better and embarked on the CCF MkII project. Procedure The MkII isn't really a coffee can foundry. The shell is a festive holiday popcorn tin about 10 inches in diameter and 11 inches tall. This was lined with a layer of castable refractory insulation approximately 2" thick. I used a recipe found here to make my own refractory insulation. The Raw Materials The first layer of refractory in the bottom of the foundry body. My crucible It is a 6" length of 3" diameter steel pipe with a ...

How to Ask a Lady Out

Pretty Lady had to chastise the Pundit, once upon a time, not so long ago, whilst the Pundit was still single and actively chasing females on http://Nerve.com. He complained to her, "I get chatting with a woman, and everything seems to be going fine until I give her my phone number. Then things just trail off." Hello? Pretty Lady was momentarily speechless. The Pundit, she thought, had little excuse for this. Pretty Lady met the Pundit once upon a time on http://Nerve.com, in fact, and he was one of the very few gentlemen she accepted into her inner circle. The Pundit is a Real Man, a mature and intelligent soul, and he knows how to treat a lady. The fact that Pretty Lady did ...
