Looking To Buy My First Rifle...

Cleese is a professional comedian, and I don't think he's laughing at this particular instance.
I think he was referring to Mr. Cleese's height of 6'5". Of course he was also trying to divert the subject away from his arrogant dismissal of anyone he considers beneath him, which seems to be pretty much everybody. Couple that with the fact that he has steadfastly refused to say anything about himself, as many of us here have, and you have the unhappy situation in which he thinks he's part of the crowd but doesn't seem to realize exactly unliked he is.

I know, "it's not a popularity contest", but many of us here do try to maintain some amount of friendly kinship. Tribesman just likes to crap on people.

You need to identify the piece from the Frost years to get it.

it played a role in the piece:yep:

Don't talk nonsense Steve, you are usually better than that.
The dismissal is because he has simply repeatedly told the most stupid lies again and again and made the craziest claims about himself.

Couple that with the fact that he has steadfastly refused to say anything about himself
Now you are in the realms of fantasy.

Except for the part where you do it to everybody. No discussion, just insults.

Now you are in the realms of fantasy.
Really? Who are you then? Pictures? Stories about yourself? Anything? All I know about you is that you call yourself Tribesman and you like to insult people, and that you seem to hate America and Israel about equally. Other than that?

So how is that fantasy?

You really are having a bad day with your memory:rotfl2:

About as far from reality as you could get.
As I have explained before, your perception is rather warped.

And you do it again.

So what is the reality? Are you going to actually say anything, or just keep playing games?

[Tribesman]

As said, work your memory. You do say you are cursed with a good memory
See if you can recall my occupation, countries I have lived in, countries I have worked in, my views on America or Israel.... come to think of it my views on any nation, what sports/activities do I do, do I have kids/a wife?

Heres a good one especially for ya...what is my favourite war and what is my favourite period of naval history:03:

It has all been posted. (Plus of course there are PMs to clarify important background details on issues when something may seem overly contentious)

Come to think of it can you see why.....Couple that with the fact that he has steadfastly refused to say anything about himself
....wasn't a very clever statement?

And if you were a decent human being you would have just posted a link. but no, you get on your high horse and make fun of people some more.

You like playing troll, don't you.

[Tribesman]

And if you were a decent human being you would have just posted a link.
A link? don't you mean dozens of links.
After all when you make such a wide ranging blanket statement that at the same time is absolute it does cover a hell of a lot of ground.

but no, you get on your high horse and make fun of people some more.

Hey I even threw in several easy ones for ya from discussions you had partaken in, how is that making fun of you?
Plus of course as I have mentioned before on this forum I no longer own a horse so it wouldn't be my horse I was getting on:03:

You like playing troll, don't you.
That again is a matter of perception.

So I'm late to the party and the topic has gone off tracks, but I thought I'd throw my two cents in.

1. You're girlfriend is the only one whose opinion matters to you, and yet you use the derogatory term of "woman" on her.

2. Unless you own your house and your barn, you should ask your parents whether or not they're okay with you owning a firearm under their roof. Even if they're away a lot, it's still their house at the end of the day.

3. You're going to shoot someone because they're messing around in your barn? Would you actually take a human life because they're stealing from outside? If so, that's a bit excessive. I can understand shooting someone in your house(I'd do it in an instant), but if they're in your barn, unless they are armed with a firearm of their own, or run for the house, I couldn't personally shoot at someone. Also as Oberon pointed out, shooting at someone who is in your barn is a great way to kill one of your horses.

4. As others have said, if the issue is your barn, get some good heavy duty locks for it, and then get motion detected floodlights. Cheaper than a firearm, and the lights will scare most people away.

5. If you're going with a rifle for "self-defense" purposes, Semi-auto would beat bolt any day of the week.

6. It may be different in your state, but you only need a concealed weapons permit for pistols, it's kind of hard to conceal a rifle or shotgun. You can't own a handgun until you're 21, so a concealed permit would be pointless until then. While it is wikipedia is a pretty good summary of all the state firearm laws:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_%28by_state%29

:oops: I'm not exactly sure how I ended up at this topic, but I was under the impression it was relatively new. I never bothered to check the dates. :haha:

I thought the debate between Tribes and Sailor Steve was actually happening right now. :damn:

Thankfully indeed. I have realized how I ended up here. I started in the awards thread, followed the link to the lolboot thread, and then followed it to TLAM's post.

It's kind of like how you end up at the shady parts of youtube, you start out in normal youtube and then you get lost.

So that's how you discovered ponies... :haha:
