Oh great. HCP put down "Taliban" in a thread and now were all going to be on the government watchlists!
The RG only allows Multnomah Sheriff and Portland Police Officers to enter the RG with their guns. All other law enforcement must check the gun into the Command Center and be picked up after the event.
They said on last night's broadcast that they'll be set at a very low level so as not to be triggered by change or keys.
I'm so wrapping a zucchini in aluminum foil tonight... EDIT: Anyone have a Damon Stoudemire bobblehead I can borrow?
Unless, of course, he is a proud owner of a Neolitic glass steak knife, yours for only $169 + $15 shipping in the continental US. The knife has a Whale bone handle with an authentic rawhide wrap at the blade/handle juncture. Aged and waxed.
Does that really set off some alarm? Just by typing it, Denny Crane his his special ops commando troops are gonna break down my door!
Well fuck. What's the point of everybody getting their panties in a bunch at the airport over my fingernail clippers when shit like that exists? Jesus.
Fuck that... there's absolutely NO WAY that I'm going to remove my hat in order to enter the building! If I don't wear my hat, then people will try to steal my fucking thoughts... and I DO NOT put up with any sort of "idea theft." Identity theft is bad enough, but when people fuck with my ideas.... THAT, my friend(s), is where I draw the line in the sand. I don't have a pic' of my finely hand-crafted "hat," but here are some like it (although, admittedly, these are much, much less aesthetically appealing than mine--so, please, keep that in mind, would ya?): Furthermore, if asked to remove my cap upon said entrance into The Rose Garden, I shall recite this paraphrased version of the U.S. Marines "Rifleman's Creed": This is my (hat). There are many like it, but this one is mine. My (hat) is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I master my life. My (hat), without me, is useless. Without my (hat), I am useless. I must (wear) my (hat) true. I must (wear it) straighter than my enemy who is trying to (steal from) me. I must (stifle) him before he (succeeds). I will.... My (hat) and myself know that what counts in this (thought-theft) war is not the (thoughts that) we (steal), the noise of our (brain-waves), nor the smoke we (enhale). We know that it is the (thoughts) that count. We will (think)... My (hat) is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weakness, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its (protective-lining) and its (interstellar-antenna). I will keep my (hat) clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will... Before God I swear this creed. My (hat) and myself are the defenders of my (brain). We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life. So be it, until victory is (our's) and there is no enemy, but Peace.
Interesting choice of words in light of the recent airline incident. Could it be a signal or some kind of secret code? Just asking.
I think the fact we got jobbed last night by the refs and the fact there were metal detectors was not a coincidence. Stern decided before the season started which games the refs were going to control, then the refs agreed to change the games Stern wanted as long as they had protection from fans, the metal detectors.
