Did you know you can cut a drinking straw into a short portion, put it on a muzzleloader nipple, put in a pistol primer, and have one really hot cap?

Staple one end of a Wendy's drinking straw shut and fill with 22lr. Makes a great speed loader for my tube fed Marlin 60

I want to ban Patchouli oil, and the use of chalk and climbing anchors.
But manky 1/4 bolts holding hand bent bits of .065 CroMo from the 70s are still good, right?b

I went to a restaurant with this dude who told the waitress not to bring our table any straws. I said WTF, over? He says they are bad for the environment.
When he got up to use the bathroom I ordered his meal for him....liver, extra rare.... 😀

I wish there was a better alternative to plastic but for some things there isn't. The overuse of plastic as it relates to packaging is sickening. A small USB sized piece of merchandise boxed in an 8x10 plastic container is a disgusting overuse of anything but especially plastic. We recycle virtually everything here and don't produce but one small garbage can per week for all of us.
Plastic is bad m'kay. Packaged to reduce shoplifting.

Aught to be a law against shoplifting.

Aught to be a law against shoplifting. You might be onto something there. While we're at it, we should make arson illegal too. Kids burnt down some friends' old, (vacant) house yesterday. And that less than a month after kids burned the contents of our connex, along with my hunting snow-go, and a whole bunch of personal items including the few trophy items I've saved over the years. Thankfully there are no laws specifically against grinding human beings into salsa....  The Troopers care...sort of. I learnt that on TV. Pretty sure they are against salsa though.

No need to be formal, Mike. My friends call me Eeyore these days.  And to be fair, the Troopers have a job that is not only impossibly difficult "out there", it's also largely thankless as well. (They did lasso a recent 8th grader for some portion of the crime.)

Mark, maybe you can get them to widen the intent of the DLP law and shoot a few of the arse holes arsonists.

That's just wrong.
How do the expect the dopers to snort their coke? Why with $100 bills of course.

Marlin,  How did I not think of that.........? (FWIW, I learned of 'our' fire at 1 AM on June 13, and started driving to ANC to fly home at 3 AM. Once I was home, I installed a 12 gauge shotgun barrel through a hole in a boarded window with an appropriate warning. ) ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/DSC000522.JPG) Aside from personal value on items, the sno-go was probably the single highest-value item. This was it in April. ![[Linked Image]](http://www.hunt101.com/data/500/medium/IMG_10095.JPG) ..and in June after a few puffs on the propane and hairspray, then a match... (picture won't configure to display anyway except sideways.

Plastic is bad; plastic is good.
The stuff that is probably most troublesome is the smaller stuff that can be suspended in water...the microbeads, (as well as flame-retardants and all that), which don't break down and end up in the water stream.
Plastic straws simply represent the tip of a needless iceburg of plastic throw-away stuff....like water/beverage bottles and stuff.

all of the plastic that can't be recycled into even more plastic can be converted to road-paving compound, a kind of asphalt if you will. plastic is our friend.

Staple one end of a Wendy's drinking straw shut and fill with 22lr. Makes a great speed loader for my tube fed Marlin 60 A used aluminum gamegetter arrow shaft works much better. Makes a perfect speedloader for my model 60. Cut to length and capped with a pencil eraser.

Straws can also be used as packaging for single use fire starters, Neosporin, lotion, wound seal, hydrogen peroxide, ext, by heat sealing one end, fill with single portion, heat seal and cut off. Repeat.
