I've enjoyed my time here, but I'm trying to kick the computer habit, and I find I run my mouth too much on these threads.
Not a person here I wouldn't like to hunt with. Some I probably wouldn't want to share a tent with and a lot I wouldn't loan money to...especially the lawyers.
I'll still be monitering, but plan to cut my posting WAY down.
Adios, and may the trail be level and straight.
And I won't let the screendooor hit me on the way out.
I love revisiting old posts...

Don't know about you guys, but through nine rounds in the match between Bart and Gene for the Heavyweight Championship of the Campfire, I have it scored as a draw! At the end of the last round, both combatants appeared a little bloodied and arm weary, so I'm not sure how much longer this battle will go on. But please stay tuned folks we may very well have a new champion crowned here tonight.

Gene, not trying to stir up any more crap here but I am sincerely curious. I don't know a whole bunch about explosives so if you don't mind would you explain the reasoning behind shooting a suspicious abandoned attach� case with a rifle, and then again with a shotgun. Suspected it might be triggered by a motion sensing device? What if it actually did explode and contained dangerous biological/chemical agents? web page
Draw??? BS.... Gene has only been here for a month and a half.... Tucked tail and ran once or twice... Draw my ass.... I've seen a half a dozen hard core trolls come and go... I'm still here... Bart

Yeah but you didn't act like a fool.... AND you checked in at a weird time...... You got your chance and took advantage of it...And did well here... NO???

Well, it didn't. And shooting it wouldn't release any kind of chemical components, although it would have blown it up had there been explosives in it. It being a breifcase, it couldn't have contained enough explosives to really do any damage at the range at which we were shooting at it. It had already been moved by employees of the store, and therefore was relaitively safe from motion-activated devices. And the weight just wasn't there to indicate a thermo-nuclear device.
Actually, I have attended chemical and explosive device schools. And the biefcase I shot (and shot pretty damn well) contained only routine letters and documents from a real estate agent.
Of course, we could have called in the CDC or FBI bomb squad or the EOD or whoever dealt with that stuff at that time and corodoned off the area, and they would have established a zone and closed down the road and traffic for three days while they shot the hinges off the briefcase.
To put it in context, ghis was after the anthrax scare in Washington and we were getting calls from people who found that white stuff they coat envelopes with in their mail. It will leave minute specks if you look for them...it's a white clay=like substance that some people eat, actually. Pregnant women especially.
Figured we needed to display a little reality. I think four people died (maybe less) in the enitre United States, and it caused panic all over the US. Reprehensible.
But the Sheriff chose not to call in the Feds. It was a wise decision. BTW, weapons-grade anthrax (which was in the news then) is destroyed by an explosive. The heat kills it.
We were wll back and covered. No worry....I've blown up lots of stuff in the military.
Kinda fun.
Not many problems you can't fix With a 1911 and a 30-06
In January 1997 , Gene Langston was appointed Chief Deputy by the Sheriff. He replaced retiring Chief Deputy Gerald Guntharp. The Chief is the Sheriff's right hand man and is charged with overseeing the operation of the entire agency.
Before becoming Chief Deputy of Oconee County , Chief Langston worked with the Athens Police Department. He then taught Community Education and Creative Writing at Meriedith College , Duke University , and Wake Tech , Chief Langston also taught Criminal Justice and English at Central Texas. He holds Master of Fine Arts from Vermont College. " The picture won't come up on my computer, I have my firewall tightened down a bit too much.
What I don't understand is why would a well educated person such as yourself use such gutter language and engage in such profane provocations to others?
You wrote previously: "Well, if I'm not right with the board, I guess I'll have to settle with being right with myself and God." (bold mine)
Digressing for a moment to examine a few of your prior posts: " "Yes, you're one of the p*ssies I refer to...". (note - had to put in the asterisk else Rick's software bleeps it). "Never heard it called "black and gold" except from some high-school football player. Don't think that's an army term, and I dont' think you've ever served. Maybe in the motor pool?
I agree that you're estrogenically-enhanced. I'll bet you're wearing a mixpad right now."
"Personally, I think you're making this up and probably spent 8 years in jail, observing correctional officers while being some Bubba's punk boy."
"Barak, just to be clear, I think you are a fraud." "Meanwhile, I'm convinced Barak is a woman posting as a man."
"Sorry, Bart, I was just having fun pissing you off. "
Calling people you've never met wimps, [bleep], cowards, homosexuals and liars, particularly Barak (who you might ask about Kairos), intentionally baiting people so you can laugh at them... JMHO, but you might want to revist that "right with...God" part. At the very least you might want to ask God what he thinks about the way you treat people.
http://cache.zoominfo.com/cachedpage/?ar...+7%3a45%3a23+AM "Chief Deputy Gene Langston is a military combat veteran and a veteran of over 23 years in law enforcement. A certified instructor in both general instruction and firearms, Chief Langston represents the Sheriff in his absence and supervises most all the day to day operations here. He can be reached at 706-769-xxxx."
Obviously you occupy a position of some responsibility and which one would assume would require a certain amount of professionalism and diplomacy, yet your posts here reflect exactly the opposite. It is an interesting dichotomy.
"Sheriff Scott Berry and Chief Deputy Gene Langston arrived. ... Langston said he shot the briefcase with a rifle "to see if it would blow up." When it didn't, another deputy shot the briefcase with a shotgun to open it. It was full of invoices. Later the man contacted Lowe's again to report he had inadvertently left the briefcase in his buggy. Langston said he replied "we're afraid we've got bad news about your briefcase." Published in the Athens Banner-Herald on Saturday, April 13, 2002."
Well, you have demonstrated a consistent sense of humor when it comes at someone else's expense.
Finally, I've attached a more recent picture of you from July of 2001. You are the one on the right in uniform.
"Issac, actually I have improved my looks quite a bit since my picture. "
Jeez---the guy has more chins than a Chinese phone book!! Another thing when I pull up the Oconee LEO site I hear a certain song from �Deliverance� !! I wish you could post a wav file of your voice saying �louda boy� you might have a 2nd career after you fall over from tooooo many doughnuts and free hamburgers strong armed from the local businesses. I would ride by you so fast that you would squeeze all of the jelly out of your doughnut all over your comic books!!! Mouthy Jerkwater Redneck Leo�s don�t really impress me much so go ask some other people to �squeal like a pig� and if you think you can shoot better than I can I will be at the Missouri State Championships in a couple of weeks�be there! Personally, I don�t think your thinly veiled homosexual tendencies are that thinly veiled!
I think I've said this before, but can't remember. When I got this here computer a few years back, when my buddy loaded it up for me he said " well, you don't need to worry about finding a handle, you already have one!" I didn't know it was inpolite, not politicly correct, or anything else. Cat

OK Jim, let's all sing now:
Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Kumbaya my lord, kumbaya Oh lord, kumbaya
Now isn't that a lot better than that awful man who uses all those nasty words?

Gene has pushed my buttons, too... But I think we need to cut him some slack. (I'm serious... not kidding.) He's gotten a bunch of people angry at him and he wants to get back in the good graces of the group. So his way of trying to be "one of the boys" is to have some fun at some others' expense. He's having some fun at his own expense, too. He's kind of like the boy on the playground who wants the girl to like him but doesn't quite know how to go about getting her attention... so he goes up and pulls her pigtails.
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'm beginning to like Gene. Georgia good 'ol boys aren't really my thing, but I can accept him for who he is, as long as I know that he's not really trying to hurt anyone with the insults.
Maybe it was just the army picture that drew me in... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
BTW, thanks for your service to our country. I never supported the Viet Nam war, but I certainly supported the men and women who answered their country's call of duty. The Viet Nam vets got a raw deal, IMHO...
