Tonight was National Night Out Against Crimeâ„¢.
Apparently, people all over the nation turned on their porch lights, went outside, and greeted their neighbors in order to show criminals of all stripes that actual people lived in the homes that they preyed upon.
I thought it sounded like fun at first, but I had guns to clean and knives to sharpen.

I make it a point to go out and greet most of my neighbors every evening.
I especially enjoy greeting the two muzzie families with my middle finger while telling them their lawns look like shit!
Worst freakin possible neighbors those douchebags.

Luckily, most of my neighborhood is retired military. We don't have any crime here. Everyone has guns. The worst thing that's happened in 10 years here is a couple cars got egged one night and our mailbox got nailed once by some prankster kids. All the neighbors know each other and talk everyday.
A friend came to our house once and asked,
"What is this? Freakin' Mayberry?". He couldn't believe that people waved at him as he drove down the street and accused us of paying them to do it. ;-)

Same here, Oyster, I live in a small city and everybody in our neighborhood knows everyone, and of course, you know that guns are second nature to us Texans. So no crime, except my yard got rolled three times last year, and someone wrote on my son's truck with a bar of soap.

Yes, sit there in your little holes, sharpening your authentic replica samurai swords and fondling your big, impressive, black guns. Sit there, trembling, alone, waiting for the A-rabs, or Mexicans, or whoever it is, this week, to start trying to kick down your reinforced steel doors. Sit there, naked, in front of your computers, gnashing your teeth to the latest news reports of the coming rapture. Sit there, while your neighbours are outside having a PARTY. What lives...

I often sit naked in front of my computer - but I'm sure as shit NOT gnashing my teeth over the latest news reports of the coming rapure. My technical meditation sesions always involve my "authentic replica samurai sword" and something else coming.
You were close Markie!

Maarrkk, who's scared, and what the hell are you talking about? Read your comment and then tell me what the hell it has to do with anything that was said on this thread? Can you read?
