When they get that big, they're called an abscess and can kill you. Damn that's gross. I've seen women with smaller tits than that thing.

LOC my thoughts a prayers are with you in this difficult time. Joe, thanks for the picture and keeping us al in the loop on our brother. The only bright side I can see in all of this is that LOC still looks much better than Joe.

Holy shit! Logan posted something on the forums. Somebody call the networks, this is big news.

Or a skull fracture.

Sounds like you've had your share of bad apples Loader. You would think they would have forgiven a nearly 30 year old warrant for showing your butt plug in public.

Happy birthday buddy. If you have the guts to show up in the COD2 servers on your birthday, we've all agreed to give you a bash for each year of your age. So that's what, like 75 bashes?

He would have stayed in the game? Bullshit. Hockey players get helmets and still leave the game injured. A baseball and a puck weigh pretty close to the same weight (between 5 and 6 ounces), and travel at close to the same speed when hit (100 to 110 MPH). So how many goalies without pads and a helmet stand in front of other players who are making a slap shot, as MLB pitchers do in front of batters?

For those of you with an axe to grind with law enforcement, I understand your feelings and realize that a few bad experiences can give you a jaded outlook toward cops. Just as with any profession there are bad apples, and unfortunately they make the good ones look bad too. I've personally seen asshole cops, firemen and military members do some pretty fucked up things just because they can. But I don't let that change my opinion of the rest of them who would (and regularly do) put themselves in harms way to help the rest of us. The cop that parked on the sidewalk should have used better judgement. He knew he was wrong and didn't feel like dealing with a kid who was recording every word he said. That chubby cop and his slurpee (just like all other cops) are trained to deal with nut cases like this and often do, and for that I choose to not make a big deal about his parking habits. http://www.policemag.com/videos/channel/patrol/2013/05/t-stop-ambush-in-ohio.aspx

http://now.msn.com/pearl-cantrell-105-says-bacon-is-key-to-long-life Woman, 105, says bacon is the secret to a long, happy life Pearl Cantrell, a 105-year-old resident of Richland Springs, Texas, filled local TV station KRBC in on the secret to a long, happy life: bacon. "I love bacon. I could eat it for every meal, and I do!" she said, and encouraged others to do the same. Somehow, Oscar Mayer got a whiff of Cantrell's evangelical fervor for fried pork and sent over some chipper young employees to give Cantrell a ride — "shotbun," the local station said — in its Wienermobile. The generous employees also gave Cantrell a large supply of bacon. "I will never, ever forget this, for the rest of my life," Cantrell later said, tucking into a plate of bacon. We truly believe her. What I found to be truly inspirational about this is, how many women that age can say they recently rode a huge wiener?

Very cool. Good find Ter.

Well, we will just have to agree to disagree on this one. First of all, the cop wasn't on a public sidewalk he was on the private property of the store where he bought the drink, probably a 7-11. If the store owner has a problem with where the cop parks "he or she" would have been within their rights to question the cops parking habits, but then they probably wouldn't have gotten a great response time the next time they were robbed and the store owner expected that same cop to show up and save them from the bad guys. Second, the kid is obviously an aspiring cop watcher and the cop knew it. I've seen it happen in my own town when people act agressive toward cops to get a reaction out of them while they record the whole thing. Of course they're hoping the cops will do something illegal and capture it on video. If the kid walked up and asked questions about how cool his motorcycle is, I'm sure the cop would have been sweet as pie, but a kid walking up recording a conversation with his cell phone asking why he parked there? Gimme a break. The cop kept his cool and could have told the kid to go fuck himself, or grabbed the phone and "accidently" ran over it with his motorcycle. Most cops are respectful when people they deal with are respectful toward them. Most kids today think respect was something people did back in the horse and buggy days. I've been pulled over 3 times in the last 10 years for moving violations, and not ticketed once. Every time I was polite, respected the badge, and didn't give them any shit for doing their job. Cops (by law) don't have to give their badge numbers when asked. Many police departments may tell their officers to give it when asked, but there is no law stating they have to say it out loud when asked. The badge is in plain sight and if somebody wants it bad enough all they have to do is look.

As long as the cop is there when needed to protect and serve, he could have parked his bike next to the slurpee machine inside the store. People trying to become "Youtube famous" by confronting cops and other people while recording what happens are morons. Yeah, some cops take little perks for protecting the rest of us. I don't have a problem with that.

Damn that sucks. Tell him the whole clan is wishing him a fast and complete recovery.

We have a medal for fat chick lovers?

How often does that happen Steve? Not nearly enough!..lol... Seriously though, we can go an entire evening without a shootie. Its all dependent on whom is voting and if you have players that dont care for them, they never get voted on. Do we hear complaints then (minus myself lol). One thing about last nite, as much as that was mayhem, people were having fun and laughing their asses off, while shooting someone elses... I think people afterwards because they were so friggin tired of running and gunning... It almost never happens, but I thought we all talked a while back that certain types of maps didn't come up one after another. It's not a big deal to me, I just noticed that people were leaving last night when it happened.

One thing I want to point out that happened last night that cleared the servers was that we had two shottie maps and then the pistol map one right after the other. While there are those who love this (I won't mention any names PETE), we went from 15 players when I joined down to 4 players by the end of the pistol map. Those three should not come up on consecutive votes. I enjoy those maps too, but by the time I was done playing all three one right after another, I needed a break as did many other players. Most were joking they needed to take a blood pressure pill. You barely have time to think in those maps, it's just a cluster fuck of carnage.

There are ways to increase the odds of a map you want winding up the winner on the map vote. You have about 15 seconds to make up your mind of first and second choices. 1. If the only maps voted on have a single vote, the highest one on the list wins every time. Even if there are 20 choices, if none have more than a single vote, the one closest to the top of the list wins. This is true with all ties, the highest on the list always wins. 2. If it looks like a map you absolutely hate is going to win with 2 or more votes and if you would rather play any map but that one, vote on a map higher on the list so it has at least an equal number of votes. That way your second choice wins. Number 2 comes in especially handy when Pete votes for a shottie map and cries like a baby when it loses.

Excellent suggestion. I believe we should move past this nonsense and just enjoy the servers.

You lost me there glove. On the one hand you state: "I understand that this clan is going to allow camping, spawn killing, setting trip wires and mines just slightly outside the spawn." And immediately after that you state: "We can make the choice to not do anything about these issues or we can admit that they are happening and act accordingly to make changes." You understand that we as a clan permit these "issues" to happen and have for a very long time. Nobody is denying they happen and nobody but you is asking for changes to be made. The fact of the matter is that there is no way we are going to please everybody. What you see as issues don't seem to bother the vast majority of players. One would assume if those issues did bother them enough, those people wouldn't play on our servers any longer, yet they continue to do so including yourself. I play almost daily and see the very same people there, and yes there are always people who don't like something but obviously they're still here and can live with the issues and continue to play and have fun. There are players who piss me off too, but I would rather simply ignore them, continue playing and have fun. If I let a small percentage of the players ruin my gaming experience, I wouldn't play there any longer. Instead I make it my mission to put those players on the top of my hit list, which makes the game much more enjoyable for me. There is nothing more satisfying than sneaking up on a camper and bashing their head in. You should try it some time, the experience is quite enjoyable.

Love is a very strong word Hxtr. We (the XI members) took a vote and decided you aren't exactly our type, and we just want to be friends, not lovers. 80

I woke up at 3:AM last night and took a piss in a pitch black bathroom with my eyes closed and didn't miss the bowl. Can I get an award please? By the way, I've been here 2 years longer than you and have one less award. What's the big deal?

I'm not really referring to "spawn camping" although that happens as well. I can't count the times that I have been killed right as I spawn by a nade or bullet. There are also many times that I have died via a trip or mine just a couple of steps outside of a spawn. There are people who will deny this or say that it can't happen but I assure you that I wouldn't bother making this stuff up. Sorry I misunderstood your original post. If you're only talking about camping then I'm afraid you will just have to deal with it. Some servers have limits on camping, XI doesn't have any restrictions on general camping what so ever. Perhaps the additional few seconds of spawn protection will help your problem. As far as trips laid close to spawn areas are concerned, we've gone over this subject a number of times in the past. As long as the only exit from a spawn area isn't tripped then it's perfectly ok to do. Our servers are programmed not to allow a trip or mine to be laid on a spawn spot, but very close to it. I realize that there are some who push this limit to the extreme, but the powers that be have declared it to be acceptable and that's just how it's going to be.

Occasional spawn camping is something just about everybody does, sometimes intentional and sometimes not. But, if somebody regularly lays in wait at known spawn points and kills everybody who spawns there, we consider that unsportsman like and will warn the person doing it to stop. I would strongly suggest recording the offenders on Xfire while spectating them or even in game and PM an admin/s for their input.

That was nice of you to acknowldge Pete. Many of us in XI feel that you are forever in our shadows.

When I moved to California I was 17 and finished my senior year of high school here. I was surprised to find that instead of playing ball for PE we had sailing, and across the street from my school was San Francisco bay and a fleet of school owned Laser sail boats. I learned fast and ended up buying my first boat at 18 from the Laser factory which was right in my town. From there I had various Aluminum fishing boats mostly Gregor and Klamath. I partnered with a friend on a Bertrand 35 ft sport fisher for a few years then ended up with a Grady White. Then marriage and kids ended up taking most of my time and I got out of boats, but I'm ready to get back in as soon as possible. I miss fishing in the bay and ocean and looking forward to spending my retirement doing lots of it. By the way TSW, I had a down payment on that same Proline boat a few years ago then ended up getting an RV instead. Biggest mistake I ever made. Never EVER listen to your wife. Their advice is really dumb.
