Send me and @Biotech the snow next winter (without the biting bugs).

Now go back and use the internet and search Minnesota cold snow and biting bugs.

The owners of the company I work for are members of the local Rotary Club. They put on a fund raiser pinewood derby event, and it sounded like a wonderful waste of time. I bought a ticket & kit car a couple of days before the event, so I had to throw a car together & test in one day. Toe Pincher is the result, and it taught me two things, aerodynamics come into play, even within 44', and money wins races. My car was first out of the gate every time, but got creamed on the straight away. Fun was had by all, and the Silver Dome in DePue, Illinois was packed tight. At least they let you step outside with a beer, nobody gets shook up in small towns.

Hey, I like this idea! Great start @Ruggerxi and thanks @BlackRose for taking on the task. Trying to interview idiots will have its own challenges.

Ok @Ruggerxino one else said !fu for being Chief Idiot so i have to! !fu. for everything

This is really awesome. Rugger....first thing...thanks for creating the clan. What a great group of assholes I love to game with. Second.....thanks for doing what you do. My son had a rod put in his broken leg a year ago and your tooling probably made that possible. You've made our lives better. Good luck in MN. Best wishes!

This is a cool way to know a little more about the members ? I looked Minnesota up on the internet and the nature looks beautiful ?

I for one can vouch for all that you said about his place.... I do not know many people who could do what he did on his own. He is a very resourceful person and refuses to give up. The Desert either Destroys Men or Makes them GOD Fearing Men as strong as Steel. I give him lots of credit, his place is absolutely Beautiful and he is Content!!!! ?

Great idea!. Thanks Rose and Rugger

, I like this idea! . remember all you idiots

pfeeew for a moment there i thought she was going to say ' send the snow to me and the bugs to bio '

Great profile I like this feature.

I love this!!! Thank you for all you do, Rugger!

Its very intersting to know whos the human behind the players we know... i like this iniative.

Tell him I've bought him a Christmas present, for a true idiot in the desert, a nice pair of:- SNOWSHOES ?

Thank you very much @Ruggerxi for keeping on taking care of the clan website and servers! So much fun and interesting news brought to the idiot community! Great life! I used to work in the machine tool business as well in France ? but not in the manufacturing part as you.

I've got a question for you Beer. In 1933, Executive Order 6102 made it a criminal offense for U.S. citizens to own or trade gold anywhere in the world, with exceptions for some jewelry and collector's coins. Done by Executive Order. Years later restrictions were put in that disallowed the Presidents power to do this, so his rights to do so were limited to times of War and National Emergency Being as we are continually at war, such as the war on terrorism and etc. and other such... War's. Do you thing Sleepy Joe might try this again ! Man everything would go to hell in a handbasket then.

So he is doing good? Miss that idiot. He definitely put the Extreme in Extremeidiots lol.

Just a fyi...Me and Carrie have to go look after her father for 10 days and I will be unable to connect to pretty much anything outside of my cell phone...We will be leaving Saturday and may not be back until sometime after the 10th of April... Those who may need some help with things have my number and can call See you idiots on the flip side

Made it back home after driving for over 24hrs of traffic hell with bad rain...Ghost accidents all over the Southern States that if I did not know any better I would swear someone hacked in to Google maps to sabotage traffic...Accidents reported every where North and South bound and none to be seen...Even the accidents being reported moved as you got close to them and nothing there...Bumper to bumper stop and go thru 2 entire States that ended as soon as we crossed into Florida WTF... Carries dad was grateful we could sit with him and tend to his needs...We will be contracting soon in the area there soon so back we go for a few months as her mother is having problems getting around the house and such Got home opened the door to find the AC had taken a crap while we were gone and the house was full of hot humid as hell air...It is a holiday so no service til Monday today so we went out and purchased a large portable AC that is now part of the Kitchen lol...Central location to house We did manage a Family (part of) Easter get together on my end...From one comes many ? Dad on bottom left and mom when she was much younger...Picture represents a fraction of the Children,Grandchildren,Great Grandchildren,Great Great Grandchildren and 1 Great Great Great Granddaughter...Dad was from Texas and you know the story...Everything from Texas is huge and Our Family is no exception...I myself have 6 children 23 Grandchildren and 1 Great grand daughter....I hope everyone had a joyful Easter like we did...

Please Welcome Intruder To Our Clan

Hello everyone. I'm THEPUNISH3R. Known as FrankCastle as well. I have been gaming for quite some time now, since the first Atari in 1977. I was a little boy but fell in love with gaming since then and have not looked back since. Also, I have been playing with lots of XI players for many, many years. Looking forward to being part of the XI Clan/Family. I'm from NYC and probably very close to the home of the XI servers, which, of course, is always a good thing ?

Been talking about this for many years. You can't print wealth, or make it up digitally. That takes agriculture, manufacturing, and mining. All of these things have been uprooted, regulated out, and diminished in the US of A. The last thing remaining was the good faith & trust in the government, but the world has voted on that for real, not by mail or dominion. The US produces nothing the world needs, and the world has responded by dumping the dollar. Hang on to your britches, because it's going to get real rough, real fast. Enjoy your banana bread & circus show in New York, because they won't tell you what's really going on, you might not like it. $30 trillion in debt on paper, over $100 trillion in unfunded liabilities, and a pile of dumb-asses that still believe they can coin money & sell treasury bonds to cover their game of monopoly.

I NOTICED YOU DIDN'T SAY WHAT YOUR HANDICAP IS....

Thanks Skuz!

Police said that this dickhead pranked a guy at the food court in a Mall and a fight broke out. It ended when the dickhead got shot. The Dickhead is not getting charged but the guy that shot the Dickhead is getting charged with aggravated malicious wounding, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony and discharging a firearm within a building. Aggravated malicious wounding is 20 to life in prison in Virginia. His attorney is a public defender. Most likely he will get railroaded unless Dickhead refuses to press charges.

Spoke to HXTR last night. He has 10 acres of prime desert real estate - built himself a small cabin on it. The world is safe because he is in the middle of nowhere. The rattle snakes and jack rabbits may have a problem though. Fortunately there is an army base not to distant. Bottom line he's happy and content - something not everyone is - doing what he wants - by himself - God bless!

Happy Trails Hxtr, wishing you the very best!!

made this a few years back lol

He was the most dedicated and funny idiot, loved the clan and his buddies, but drove Rugger mad at times, Rugger (as he states above) did his best to get him straight many many times, nobody 'won' but even Hxtr understood why he was banned, he just went too far. I played with him on the cod2 server at times, and you actually felt the raw energy in the man, the King of conspiracy, and a true character. Hxtr I for one miss you, but understand why the Boss had to make the decision he did, it is never easy to make hard decisions. I wish you all the best in the future and (in UK terms) I'm 'chuffed' that you are ok, I'm sure we all are, so one last time buddy FU. Rob

Never got to experience Hxtr so I can not say whether we would have gotten along , but as for his letter to the clan members I have nothing but praise. Here is a guy who stuck to his convictions right or wrong and did what he thought he had to do to survive. It was honest , real and raw and I really enjoyed reading it. Thank you Hxtr.

Hxtr our last interaction was not good at all, I would say one of the worst interactions I've had with a member. And you did this after I went to war for you getting you back into the clan I believe multiple times and keeping you in the clan after you pissed off so many people multiple times. It really hurt and I hope that isn't the person you are today. Best of luck in the coming years and hope to maybe cross paths sometime down the line.

Me neither, but honestly it doesn't look that great if I remember well ?

Let's have a HXTR party - we can get drunk - act like IDIOTS - wait - we do that all the time anyway!!!!

Rob is crying, truly I'm crying Miss you my friend, and you are correct it is hard work keeping it going, but our legacy is to try, despite the haters who never do anything but hate.

Cuff one off for communism Spank bank for socialism Choke the chicken for gaia Rob, you're a dirty thread stealer. Keep up the fine work. ?

Does anyone matter? we all like to think we do, but realistically there are far far too many of us now crowding this planet. So to all you younger readers in these forums NO MORE SHAGGING PLEASE - SAVE THE WORLD

Sorry, been working long hours this week. Somebody has to pay into this crippled system. It boggles me that the industrialized powers took so long to come to this decision. Why pay a third party a pseudo-tax to conduct business between clients? The USofA has nothing to do with transactions, but washington gets a cut of every transfer, because they're in dollars. Why does the world deal in dollars? Hey, after the Russian/Ukraine debacle, why bother with greenbacks? These people are run by a cabal just as corrupt as anyone elses', so why cut them in? Bingo, the world realizes we don't matter.

lol I read this forum title wrong and went here at first ---> https://www.makersmark.com/?gclid=Cj0KCQjwocShBhCOARIsAFVYq0jddEJRfV0MLN81xyZNcYKEGnaPlFvVTntPhRi5itgbhYvwPoQQ1-AaAoYxEALw_wcB BOURBON, it's all about BOURBON!

I have been warned about people like You and Rob...

I wish I could get into the political forums still, but what you say is absolutely true, you actually produce your goods in past and future enemies countries (Vietnam and China) because of cheap labour. Just work out how many people are now employed in service industries, and how few can grow, manufacture or innovate, I repeat you are fcked, but we are the same. This debacle currently happening in New York is to distract you from the truth of your incompetent and corrupt governments wrongdoings, politics in your country have now turned to hatred. Meanwhile your enemies are at the gates, and pitching the Black tent, good luck.

I have vegetables and meat in the yard, just in case what you’re saying comes true! I can cook, maybe not as good as @RobMc!

If people had only been paying attention to what was going on in California, they would have seen the writing on the wall. 40 years of Democratic control has destroyed this state. It was easy to see there methods were not working yet the lemmings here followed in there foot steps. We have some of the most fertile land in the world for agriculture in the Center of California, yet we import a ton of our food into this state and have built over the top of these areas. We produced tech innovation here, but produced the product in other countries. The companies that had created the boom in California with there innovations have and are leaving the state since it has become to expensive to base headquarters here. Now that disease has spread across the US. As soon as we became a 3 party broker for others goods starting about 25 to 30 years ago we lost any edge we had in not being dependent on anyone else for what we really needed. Now look where we are.

Hey Mike your offer of a bed still open? I can cook

Time to start prepping !!!!

I think they are starting to get the idea, but it is too late we are fcked, well and truly.

Happy Birthday! ?
