You would think it would be easier for girls to shoot in the prone. They have natural padding that lift's there upper body's up. Of course some get a little bit higher  than others.

Jumping on a cactus hurts also. I'll take the "pain" prone positon over the...
"Stand-up vertical position" any day of the week. Why do you think the body has a natural tendency to "shrink" when things are flying in your direction?

Muslims slam their portrayal in '24'
http://www.miami.com/mld/miamiherald...t/11093538.htm
Quote:
"It's disgusting," Bekhiet said after watching an episode with an Associated Press reporter. "My own kids, if they see this show, they might hate me."
Bekhiet, an engineer with the state Department of Transportation, is worried that the fictional Araz family is the image most of America have of Muslims.
"It seems like on television, everybody has their turn as the bad guys: It happened to the Italians, the Russians. Now it's our turn," he said.
In January, a nationwide Muslim civil rights group, the Washington-based Council on American-Islamic Relations met with Fox executives to complain about the show. A compromise was reached in which the network agreed to distribute CAIR's public service announcements to local affiliates. And last month, Sutherland himself appeared in a commercial during the broadcast urging viewers to realize that the show's villains are not representative of Muslims.

TS....UUUUmmmmmmUUUUUmmmmm
I can't beleive this BS. Everytime I take a trip I come back to see TS beating up on more f**king little people. TS I think I will come out to the left coast and take you out for some fun. Are you still backed up and need a little "CHEIFS" nite life? I know you were a real trip on many of occasions.
PS I will be there in a couple of months. I have ordered another 05 HD and will be in Sturgis SD in August. You should fly out to see you Brother.

I watched it tonight. They had the SECDEF and his daughter kidnapped and made a video of them like the beheading videos. Is this the same one you guys are seeing up there?

Not so weird, they are like 30 years behind in everything else. I am pleasantly surprised that it is only five episodes. 
We're about 6 months behind on SNL. And I'm still not completely sure who the President is.

No, I tried to watch it before. But I got tired of watching his daughter do one stupid thing after another. I'm going to try again.
I like the ring tone on their phones in their little office. Anybody know where I can get one? Ring tones become more important the more the Kid and the Big Kid discover how important it makes them look to have little girls calling them all the time.

NDD, I do know where to get the ring tone, though I am hoping this is an evil jest. Hubby's software is used for the VOIP billing for 24 - and DoD - as it happens. I'm so shallow - I only watch to see the phones light up.
If you aren't jesting, I'll post the link - it is public domain.
