I suggest we all consider our standing with God, as we never know when our day will come. We all know about hell, but let's take it seriously. All those people that were burned to death in some of these accidents faced hell on earth. But if they were saved by God's Son, Jesus Christ, they were quickly brought out of their misery, and will be in God's presence forever. Any who were not saved from their sins face hell forever and ever, and that fire will never be quenched. They will continue to burn for eternity. Where will you be if you die today?

Every year, I will scurry to the literature to see if anything new has been developed. I will still see many of the nonsensical recommendations like the 'fish trap' that is presented in an Ohio State fact sheet. This procedure instructs the caller to hang a smelly fish over a bucket of soapy water. In a perfect world, greedy Yellowjackets will take more fish than they can carry and drop into the soapy water where they will drown. Clever idea and, yes, the procedure far from boring, but I really doubt that it cuts down the resident Yellowjacket population very much.

Since this seems to be drifting towards the possibility of hijacking and the weapons that might be used I thought I would mention that the entire business of banning such things as nail scissors and nail files etc. is a complete joke. There is a dirty little secret they don't want the public to know about. It's called the ceramic knife. Anyone with $71.99 can buy a Kyocera 5.5" ceramic chef's knife in any good knife store. It is undetectable to a metal detector as it contains no metal. It also doesn't show up very well in x-rays. Tape one to your thigh and you will have no trouble getting on board with it.

Absolutely everyone does it to some degree, though usually you will only get accused of min/maxing if you take it to silly extremes. An example would be a fighter putting an 8 in Charisma (minimizing weaknesses Ehe doesn't need Charisma much anyway) while putting an 18 in Strength (which he needs to fight well). An example of silly min/maxing would be having the same fighter put 18's in all physical scores while putting 8's in all mental scores. He gains more from high physical scores than he loses from low mental scores, so he's a pretty effective fighter. On the other hand, this character is not even remotely realistic. The chances of someone being born this unbalanced are next to nothing.

All right, but the REAL ending of the movie is when they fight the MIGs at the end, all right? Because he has passed over into the gay way. They are this gay fighting fucking force, all right? And they're beating the Russians, the gays are beating the Russians. And it's over, and they fucking land, and Iceman's been trying to get Maverick the entire time, and finally, he's got him, all right? And what is the last fucking line that they have together? They're all hugging and kissing and happy with each other, and Ice comes up to Maverick, and he says, "Man, you can ride my tail, anytime!" And what does Maverick say? "You can ride mine!"
