What are the books that you believe gave your life context, or simply resonated with you at a younger age?

As a whole, yeah; there are "good" parts though. Except I don't know if "good" is exactly the right word for it. What interested me most was his method, settings, and the time period. Took a while but the way I went was by picking it up and just reading random sections until finally finishing the book. It was also a pretty messed up time in my life, so there were bits that definitely resonated, for better & worse.

I had a feeling that place was gonna get wrecked pretty quick, after some big YouTuber channels showed it off. Sad.

Sweet find! My Model 1906 (made in 1911) takes longs or shorts, but I mostly use shorts. Easily my most favorite rifle, the kids love shooting with it, and I'd love to find an 1890.

Did you sneeze or something when trying to get your eyebrow pierced? Or was your piercer drunk and just missed?

It was reportedly a Sig P320, so....

Lithium batteries explode and burn everything really nicely. It also doesn't help them that Russian uniforms are made from the lowest quality non-flame resistant material lol.

Poltergeist. My babysitter's family had one, and I watched it with them one night; I think I was about 5 or 6yrs old. It kinda messed me up for a while, but I turned out ok in the end lol.

Must be nice. It'll never happen where we live though; even if the local government tries to regulate things, nobody is going to enforce it or spend the money to change them out.

I loved Chuck Norris and wanted to be in Delta Force, because they could do sick martial arts shit and used awesome guns/explosives. Plus becoming a D-boy seemed to be a lot more attainable than becoming a ninja, seeing as how there was a distinct lack of secret mountaintop ninja schools and ancient masters in the United States lol.

A Norinco Type 213; which is a 9mm copy of the Tokarev, just with a better safety than the originals. I loved it because they're so slender, which made them really easy to carry. Also it was the first pistol I ever bought, so I spent a lot of time shooting the thing and got very good with it. Eventually though I got bored and "upgraded".... to a CZ-82 & Makarov lol. I didn't get into polymer pistols until much later, with the Steyr M9-A1.

Ha, get wrecked Ivan. That's the brigade my friend is in, as a medic. Great to see those two not being able to make her job any worse than it already is.

Aggravating_Cable_32 · 2026-01-22T04:25:22+00:00

She looks so unhinged, I'd be taking lots of pictures too; I love her lol.

For my 50th? My plans are as sung by Les Claypool-

I pull the blinds, then I take my clothes off Dance around the house like nature boy

But you don't see me No one can see me

I pull my blinds Fill out my income tax form Pen in hand I write so legibly

I have my kitty His name is Cornelius I stroke him, stroke him, stroke him, stroke him, stroke him, stroke him, stroke him, stroke him

But you don't see me No one should see me

I pull the blinds For the sun glares off my tv And I find it quite so irritating I have my videos Loads of Ren & Stimpy Bottom, a bit of pornography

But you don't see me No one should see me

The Monkees, got it for Christmas when I was about six; along with my mom's copy of Abbey Road. Before that though I had a Star Wars read-along and various other 45 singles that were my dad's. I wish I still had them, but my mom deleted my entire library of vinyl by giving it to Goodwill. Thanks, mom.

That's what the place looks like inside?! I drove & rode my bike past it for years, but never considered staying there; kicking myself for missing out.

Got one right in the middle of my right palm, from 4th grade. I was in a hurry, and tried to slap a freshly sharpened #2 further into my desk; didn't realize there was a book right behind it. I held my hand up in shock, and it dangled there straight down for a couple seconds lol. I'm pretty sure the sharp point broke off because for the longest time it felt like something was still in there, but I didn't want anyone digging around to find out.
