Gonna come right out and say it. I still want my own doomsday bunker/missile silo. I think deep down every man does, just so he can act like a Bond villain when he has houseguests. "And in zis room, ve keep ze missile. In that room, ve keep ze radioactive spider monkeys..."

I too form codependent bonds with strangers I've known for a week. I also cry at the though of separating from said strangers. That loving douche is unreal.

The real question is, do you really want to even have the sort of house guests you would wind up with being in the middle of no where in Kansas?

But just think of it - now we can pitch him as being Russel Brand's estranged brother - as reported by Legitimate British Media! When we started watching the episode, I mentioned to my girlfriend "I wonder if they have an outrageous douchnozzle this year, like the SEAL from last season. Then they showed the Guy Fierri fucker with his high gauge jewelry in the opening montage and we both shared a look like "Douchetarget acquired." Then that one guy started crying like a bitch over having to shoot Terry's target and I realized that the producers doubled down on the douchery.

Mine were: Fernando "Nando" Parrado came and spoke at my high school. The class chucklefucks had to ask the obligatory questions "What do people taste like?" The teachers shut them down pretty hard. My favorite question to this day, though, was "Can I call you 'Nandy'?" That guy was awesome. I'm glad that I got to meet him.

I've dreamed of having my own underground bunker for most of my life. Why? Because, drat it. Just. Because. Luckily, I now have a spouse with the same dream. IT WILL HAPPEN!

I asked him about whether he felt survivors' guilt (he didn't), because I was a  serious student Parthogenecide - Jesus Christ that hurts my eyes. Make it stop!

What's up with how Colin wears those foamies in his ears? They're all sideways and not in his ear canal.

You have over 2000lbs of horse traveling at maybe 10mph(?) All centered on a point of the lance thats diameter is less than an inch. It seems to be a pretty nasty hit.

All centered on a point of the lance thats diameter is less than an inch. It seems to be a pretty nasty hit. It's closer to riding your bicycle into a pole than it is to a highway collision. Probably less so, since they are probably not holding their lances so that their shoulder is behind it like a rifle, or else it would almost always just be the fattest dude with the heaviest armor staying on the horse even if he misses and the other guy connects.

Colin could be the poster boy for how not to wear earplugs. Also, can't wait for my bromigo George to make an appearance in more than the just the opening this season. Edit: holy poo poo Colby "have you guys become close during this competition"? That and every other sound clip from that part of the episode. I never knew I Top Shot could make me laugh so hard.

Anyone else like: WTF?! When they decided to go from crossbows in the team challenge to pistols in the elimination? I kind of expected another modernized primitive weapon... bandannas are cool

My girlfriend watched with me again. After the bandana fiasco, when Colby told Blue team "you have to stop the bleeding," she deadpanned "Good thing he has that bandana now."Nubcakes posted:Anyone else like: WTF?! When they decided to go from crossbows in the team challenge to pistols in the elimination? I kind of expected another modernized primitive weapon... I was thrown by this too. I expected either another crossbow or a conventional bow. I guess they kept the moving targets thing. The challenge itself was a pretty neat design. I'm excited about next week's team challenge - I too want to swing on a rope and fire a dang pirate pistol. Maybe this year instead of the individual green shirts, they'll just hand out frilly pirate shirts (Greg would be cool with that).

All centered on a point of the lance thats diameter is less than an inch. It seems to be a pretty nasty hit. Well, remember this- the lances are flexy as hell and will dampen any force sent through them, and they are made to break. The way he described it, he appeared to believe that horses (1000 pounds for a heavier horse) going 5-10mph and with their riders (200 lbs. w/armor) transferring a small portion of their energy through a flimsy wooden stick is the equivalent of two 3000 pound cars colliding at 50 miles per hour.

Colin did seem pretty irritating. He also had, like, zero grip on that M&P. Littlejohn is kind of weird and chokes under pressure, but he's interesting to watch. Also, Iggy better do something soon, because right now he seems like a pretty poor performer that's just waiting to be sent to an elimination.

I kinda got the impression that they were going to do that elimination challenge using crossbows, but realized that an arrow stuck in the wood would stop the pendulum from swinging. So last resort they decided on pistols. Otherwise why use balloons instead of explodie targets?

Can't have been that last minute, the setup was designed for pistols, what with the trigger plates on each side and all. Also that would have taken forever with crossbows. e: Found this on some gun blog http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RkH9NQz1TU e2: Also this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZvSmuxVsaM Anta fucked around with this message at Mar 9, 2012 around 13:46 |

Am I seeing 'Sons of Guns' commercials right that Vince is back with them? I bet the producer called him up and said, 'poo poo son you know that drama's normally all scripted and I couldn't thank you more for what you did there. If you don't mind enduring the scapegoating and bullshit as an unskilled, complete oaf gets more attention than you as an actual competent gunsmith, I have here a very, very sizeable stipend...'

I tried watching an episode recently, it was the one where Ted Nugent came into the shop. They replayed Vince shaking his head looking pissed like seven hundred times during that segment. Also what the gently caress is with all the Native American stuff now? Last I saw the dude had a terrible Louisiana accent or something and now hes the tattooed Indian warrior "Red Jacket" and his daughter has Native American heirlooms to give to that guy she is marrying or whatever.
