Shawn Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 I once knew a guy who shot his Chevy Nova full of holes because it left him stranded out in the woods when he was hunting. He emptied all of his remaining shells into the car... ...then he had to hitchhike home...with a rifle! He walked the entire way... Quote

papsrus Posted July 26, 2008 Report Posted July 26, 2008 (edited) Lets just hope he doesn't run into anyone in the joint who's carrying a blade. ... Could be trouble. (He looks a little like Nick Nolte in that mug shot. ... a kinder, gentler Nick Nolte, frankly.) ... no wait, Tom Delay, that's who he looks like .. Edited July 26, 2008 by papsrus Quote
