A true champion of freedom and justice. RIP

I should have known it would be a bitch to get the body out of the trunk, she even had told me it would, but there was no way for me to anticipate the bags ripping and subsequently spilling their contents all over the side of the highway. I peered down the miles of road ahead of me and saw no encroaching lights, but upon glancing the other way, I was greeted with a set of headlights rapidly approaching, maybe 5 miles out, their shine illuminating an unmistakable set of red and blue reflections from the roof of the car. I fell to the ground and started pushing the chunks of meat beneath the car, surprised at how quickly the flesh and meat had grown cold and hard, a body once capable of so much movement and grace one minute only to be reduced to cumbersome bricks of waste the next. I could hear the roar of the engine and stood up, using my heel to skirt the remaining pieces beneath the bumper and forcing the warmest smile I could muster under the conditions. As I stood in eager anticipation a blinding light appeared from one side of the vehicle, forcing me to shield my eyes, partially obscuring the individual that emerged. As I peered beneath my hand I could see the silhouette of a man creeping toward me with his right hand sliding toward his waistline. "Hello" I said to the approaching man, "Nice evening, I am just putting away my tire jack" hoping to distract him as I slightly angle my body to cover my reach for a weapon. Is that a second person in the vehicle behind the glare of the lights, will I be able to take them both out if it comes to that. My hand grazed over the slick metal of my .44 S&W Special nuzzled tight within the interior of the trunk, fingers wrapping its polished rosewood grip, a gift from the wife on our 15th wedding anniversary. I heard the words "Everything...", and "allright"... while all the possible scenarios played out in front of me, and choosing the one future where I did not immediately die or spend the rest of my life in jail, I yanked the revolver from its holster, spinning around and leveling the weapon's sights to the head of the police officer before me. It was so fluid, he never saw it coming; hell it was like I had just taken a single breath and my .44 S&W was 6 rounds liter. My heart pounded against my breast as I confirmed the kill of the officer, one shot clean through his right cheek bone, then I slowly approached the vehicle to confirm my other 5 rounds found their intended target. I glanced about nervously, checking for any oncoming traffic and contemplating how I would dispose of yet another body. As images of possible consequences of my actions raced through my mind, I reached down and grabbed the policeman's limp body and dragged it off the road, covering it with a layer of brush while an idea began to form in my mind, a way to take care of all my problems in one fell swoop. The first body I disposed of much like the second, hurrying myself; The last thing I wanted was another set of headlights to come down the road. With a few hurried steps, I cleared the brush, almost tripping over the cop's foot on my way past. As I got to the door and pulled it open, I glanced over my shoulder one last time to assure everything looked some semblance of the word normal. "Normal........." I never liked my apartment, but on three "jobs" a week what could I expect. As I stared at the ceiling, I decided that if I ever managed to get out of here I would never paint anything "slate gray". It reminded me too much of my own life, too much of....I closed my eyes trying to keep the colors out. As memories of the previous night filled my head, like a cup with too much water, I seemed to forget as much as I remembered. There was budding light from between the shades, beams creeping along my floor with suspended dust looking like salt shakers in space, and my thoughts turned to her. She could be the death of me, or even worse, I of her, but she had been right about the trunk, so it is possible that a third outcome exists, one of a prolonged and beautiful mutual destruction, like two typhoons colliding, taking out everyone along the way. My contemplation was interrupted by a loud banging at my front door accompanied by muffled shouts. As I reluctantly slid out of bed I approached the door, each step bringing greater clarity to the voice’s purpose and a greater understanding of problems to come. I slipped my .44 special behind my back and into the waist of my pants as I peered through the peep hole in my front door. It was Miss. Crookshanks, the land lady, stumbling around with her hair in rollers and a pure gin martini in hand, half burned cigarette hanging out of her mouth; that woman wouldn't even need a reason to call the cops on one of her tenants, so I un-bolted the door and prepared myself. I opened the door with one hand and rubbed my eye with the other, still groggy from just awakening, and I said to her, "This ain't groovy on my dreams at all lady, you're bein' a drag on my dreams." I then placed myself between the door and the worn, cracked frame of my apartment to keep her sights on me and not the several cans of FallsCity beer strewn about the chintzy apartment. As the old crow began to speak I immediately tuned her out as painful memories began to seep out of my brain; memories of a darkened room, an angry man barking in my face, her. Through every painful recollection I kept thinking of her shape, her face, her lips; culminating into an emotional climax just as I felt a sharp pain on my cheek. Her sharp, hoarse voice snapped me back into reality as she took a puff of her cigarette while her hand came across my face, "Are ya even listenin' to me ya birdbrain?!" Something seemed to snap inside me as I grew constantly tired of her bickering and noxious personality; I invited her in by saying, "Ms. Crookshanks, as your company is always 18 karat, I would like to take a minute of your time to put in a complaint about the cat upstairs .." I stepped aside and she waltzed in, her tattered pink robe billowing behind her as a cloud of Aveeno and liquor molested my nostrils. I shut the door and turned to watch her survey the room, her brow furrowed and her head jerking back and forth, up to the ceiling and back down to the floor, like an angry pigeon that just stepped in its own shit. As she continued to move forward through the mass of crushed beer cans and pizza boxes, my first instinct was to silence her, quick and quiet, like I had done so many times before. As angry thoughts ran through my mind, the night’s events kept repeating over and over in my mind, and the possible consequences of offing this old bag were not worth the rewards.

While I was researching recent sports for my article I noticed that the Leafs have a couple of great goalies, I don't usually follow hockey but I hope the Leafs kick their arse!

There is a lady I know that owns an embroidery shop. I might see if she can make patches for anyone else that wants one, heck maybe t-shirts too!

It was top notch, the emotion on the faces of the actors is hard to forget. So many things happened too, they really shook things up. It reminded me of the final episode of the Second Season a lot.

Happy Birthday Bradley!

Dude, 22 years in retail here, I know exactly what you are talking about on this one. 10 years at CompUSA I saw my share of bullshit, I was so glad when I got outta there and I have never looked back, or attended any Black Friday sales, heh,

The sad part is I also heard he was coming back from a charity event and that he was not driving, but a friend of his was, terrible thing to happen so close to Thanksgiving with his family. R.I.P.

If you are speaking of staying signed into the forums, the best way I can think of is to click "yes" when your browser asked you to "Remember/Update" passwords. Many people look on this, and rightly so, as a potential security risk for you, however, if your pw for the forums is something you never use anywhere else, your good. I hope that's what you are asking, I am more of a general knowledge guy, don't know a lot of specifics of internet protocols.

*ashtag!

Booher...*sigh*....hehe just kidding buddy! Congrats on the achievement!

Excellent Gardner, AMD processors work very well with ATI Video cards (since AMD owns them) As of late I have used Intel processors but I have a gaming buddy of mine who swears by AMD processors. I think you'll be just fine with what you got.

Well said 1st LT! Everyone have a great day of family, friends and FOOD!

Gardner, It is my understanding that Windows 8 is very good for gaming. The OS uses the memory on your computer more efficiently, so smoother gaming. Also all the hardware on a new computer should be up-to-date with the latest Directx and drivers that are out there, its a win win. The only downside is you have to get used to the metro, however if you are familiar with using the File browser in Windows 7 they put in a "start button" with Windows 8.1 that lets you toggle between the Desktop and Metro easier. I haven't tried 8 with older games but I can only assume they can run them, and if not natively in compatibility mode.

Awesome Powell, my first laptop I ever got was an IBM(now Lenovo) I loved it too, but it wasnt a gaming one heh. One thing, your link didnt seem to work for me...

Nice Gearhart, lol! Happy Thanksgiving to Everyone, Four days off for me, I'll see you on the pub!

Gardner, This is a subject that has many interpretations. There are several companies like Dell (who now owns Alienware) , HP, Falcon Northwest (kinda pricy) and Xoticpc (which allows you to configure a laptop with many companies) With your price range you will need to be looking for the essentials: a good processor (Core i5 would be nice) lots of RAM (8GB is good more is better) a very good video card (Try to get a standalone video card, shy away from laptops that have integrated video such as Intel video cards) Outside of that are things like screen size, hard drive size and cosmetic things (style and color) Try out several websites before you make your decision, even if you a convinced on one, check one more site to be sure, because laptops have limited upgradability, especially in the essentials I have listed, so go for the baddest processor, most RAM and super-hottest video card you can that's in your budget. Just a few thoughts I have, I leave to others to give you more specifics they might find.
