SOB, you've got a problem. You are like the BBS superman. You seem to like to rush to jump into a thread and make comments about how sad or otherwise messed up a poster is.

Tool.

I thought homicide was illegal in the US.

I also thought that hard "recreational" drugs were illegal in the US.

And I know for a fact that Tax Evasion is illegal in the US - that's the one charge that stuck to Al Capone.

But I don't think air pistols were covered in the 1997 gun "ban".

One thing I do know - I love NUKE!

Yea.. but oddly enough he jumps into the threads where the posers.. I mean posters... reall DO have problems. So maybe he really is a tool, kinda like a devining rod or something.
