And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
The lady has way too much makeup, brand new never-been-worn "outdoor style" clothes, perfectly clean shoes---even the dog's paws are clean---and unruffled hair. Some questions: Is that what dogs, guns and women look like after hunting with a shotgun? Is she resting the shotgun properly? I have never hunted with any gun save for an old 12 gauge in the Paraguayan Chaco. I assure you that afterwards I was no way as pretty as that girl in the photo.
Agree, way too much makeup. Posed photo, no hunting involved. The open breech on the shotgun is a standard safety position. The gun cannot fire and anyone can quickly see it the gun is loaded or not.
John: And both the lady and the dog have the most perfect teeth. Given the choice, I would choose the dog. Less madness, less money, fewer worries and no concerns about infidelity.
Yes, the shotgun has the lines and grip of at least a grade 1 Browning Citori and judging the barrels I would say a 16ga. (my favorite) or 20ga. shotgun....and the lady and the pup are very nice, too....
Actually, I have two degrees, one in History (Summa Cum Laude) and the other in Political Science (Cum Laude). You ask what I did with such majors? Well... 1. I taught History, Economics, Philosophy and Politics at the high school and college level for 12 years in Costa Rica and Argentina. 2. Because a teacher is off 3 months every year, I used that time to solo backpack all through Central and South America, including the Darien Gap and Choquequirao. Look those up. 3. I spent years in the jungles of Honduras and Guatemala looking for gold mines, lost cities---La Ciudad Blanca---and Mayan ruins. 4. Because of all that, I have been kidnapped, chased by armies and Natives, shot at, shipwrecked, attacked by animals---and so on. 5. I took two years off from teaching and lived alone in a hammock and a tent in the jungles, forests, grasslands and Andes of Latin America. There is much more but I have no desire to bore you. And that is what I did with my degree. If you have one, what did you do with yours?
My only complaint is that if we do not use proper English to set an example for the millions of invaders now flooding into our country, we natives will all be speaking whatever language they understand - e.g.: go to a hospital in NYC; go to London.
Well Mikey, you are a legend in your own mind. I see on your list of accomplishments mastering humility was not on it. Keep up the bs you are starting to believe it.
Dear Anonymous---both of you: You might be bold enough to use your own name rather than hiding behind "anonymous". What are you afraid of?
You might see http://mikeaustin.org before you write more about me and what I have done. And as a favor to you both, I remind you that Envy is a deadly sin.
Humility has nothing to do with it. False humility---really what you refer to---is a silly and craven schoolgirl attitude, and not suitable for men. Either I have done what I have said I have done, or not.
Try to be men and post here a list of your accomplishments. I'll wait.
No worries! Actually, here is what I wear while doing such things---sans cape: https://mikeaustin.org/Darien/darien.htm https://mikeaustin.org/bariloche_grin.htm https://mikeaustin.org/AAA/My%20Pictures/old/Austin%201/Finishing_Inca_Trail.jpg https://mikeaustin.org/Darien/ready.htm https://mikeaustin.org/Darien/guate2008.htm https://mikeaustin.org/885651-R1-22-2.jpg
Unlike the skinny little turd up top who loves tooting his own horn (I promise you, no one here gives a shit about your CV), I'm not going to make any assumptions about the subject(s) of the photo. I will say that perhaps the photo is the 'before' picture and not the 'after' as stated. YMMV.
Jeez Louise "Echo Hotel"---alas, yet another blowhard coward afraid of his own real name---when did all the commenters here vote you as their spokesman? Such heated and girlish rhetoric! Yet again, I remind you and those like you that Envy is a deadly sin. Post your own CV right here with accompanying evidence---just as I have done. I'll wait.
Explain to me how what I wrote makes me a "blowhard coward". How is what I wrote "heated and girlish"? Of what am I envious? Why would I post my CV and what does it have to do with what I wrote?
I saw this post had 40+ comments and figured it was another hammerhead type discussion. It did go off the rails for a while. She is nice looking, but I would probably rather be friends with the Lab
Some of y’all need to chill dudes. Glad I don’t hang with a bunch of blowhards who, right away start looking for what’s wrong with a picture of a beautiful woman with a beautiful dog and a beautiful shotgun. Get a life.
Having a hunting companion is always nice. If you know what I mean...
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous, and the lady ain't bad either.
ReplyDeleteThe lady has way too much makeup, brand new never-been-worn "outdoor style" clothes, perfectly clean shoes---even the dog's paws are clean---and unruffled hair.

ReplyDeleteAgree, way too much makeup. Posed photo, no hunting involved. The open breech on the shotgun is a standard safety position. The gun cannot fire and anyone can quickly see it the gun is loaded or not.
DeleteI agree, Mike. The young lady appears attractive with the makeup on, but what about without the makeup. I'd take the Lab in a heartbeat, though.
DeleteJohn: And both the lady and the dog have the most perfect teeth. Given the choice, I would choose the dog. Less madness, less money, fewer worries and no concerns about infidelity.
DeleteLooks like a beautiful gun and dog, and she is a lot purtier and a lot less wrinlkles than me !
DeleteFAF
DeleteAnd what's on that mutt's neck?
Bitch bitch bitch!
ReplyDeleteIs the shotgun a Browning Clitoris?
ReplyDeleteHa!
DeleteYes, the shotgun has the lines and grip of at least a grade 1 Browning Citori and judging the barrels I would say a 16ga. (my favorite) or 20ga. shotgun....and the lady and the pup are very nice, too....
ReplyDeletewow,,, the way youz guys bitch i don't think the dirt or the corn stalks are real either.
ReplyDeleteYou might try writing like an adult rather than a teenager. Capitalization, grammar and proper diction are a bitch, yes?
DeleteAnother outbreak of grammar pedantry sydrome.
DeleteBut what else can you do with a major in english lit?

Uh-Oh
DeleteMike opened up a 12pak of WHOOP ASS!
Ghost: Both you and I are good at that.
DeletePosed? Yes absolutely. Does that mean she can’t hunt/shoot? Not hardly…
ReplyDeleteSuperposed. TIFIFY,
DeleteKeep the hands off the bluing. Please.
ReplyDelete-Snakepit
thank you for that.
DeleteI’ll take that 20g.Browning please.
ReplyDeleteKlaus
Mr. Austin, I sincerely hope you neither soiled or wrinkled your cape while performing those exploits.
ReplyDeleteIdiom: Bug up your ass
DeleteTo have a bug up your ass is to be angry about something trivial or to be constantly short tempered
LeadFurn,

Pfurn and anons, this is the only way that a retired teacher can plug his web site.
DeleteAnon, just like the Ukraine starting the shooting there, good ol Mike pushed hard for the fight instead of just enjoying being a guest here.
Dave: What exactly do you mean about Ukraine and "pushing hard for the fight"? Try to write clearly and concisely.
DeleteAs for "plugging my website": I see you visited it. So my "plugging my website" worked! Thank you! Actually, it has been a going concern since 2003.
Who started this fight?
ReplyDeleteWOW!

DeleteYou're not very bright are you?
Can't we all just get along?
ReplyDelete-Rodney King
Working on it. But all men understand that simply "getting along" comes with many qualifiers.
DeleteI might fold her up like a stepladder.
ReplyDeleteOr maybe not. shrug
I'd wash off that makeup first.
DeleteA couple of ultra-maroons… Signed A. Nonny Moose
ReplyDeleteBeautiful. . . reminds me of one of the gorgeous women in this video on Sundresses: https://youtu.be/pkYZu4YegUs
ReplyDeleteI saw that video! Beautiful it was, with gorgeous women.
DeleteI saw this post had 40+ comments and figured it was another hammerhead type discussion. It did go off the rails for a while.
ReplyDeleteShe is nice looking, but I would probably rather be friends with the Lab
I already have Marco my yellow lab and a motorcycle. That's really all a guy needs. But truthfully in my younger years I'd give her a try.
ReplyDeleteShe would have made a better wife.
