I approve of and encourage these slides; hell I'd even bang #16. Nice stroll through SFW, although not my work, but I'm a large man and can block my screen from view to those behind me and hit the desktop icon if I hear those light footsteps.
I've got to respect #16's ass. Squats and deadlifts?
Hill and step training?
Endlessly crushin' sloots?
It would be incredibly hilarious if #16 was Rill.
Like a goddamn onion.

#5 is dangerous on many levels.
/looks at #12
//shows self out, heads for masterbatorium
My next house will definitely have a masterbatorium. I'm thinking somewhere in between the breakfast nook and the humidor.
You can go practically unnoticed at the office.
I thought that it called "master bathroom"…
Two sinks?
Number 5 is going to get hurt trying to ride a bike in those heels.
Whoa, whoa, whoa,I lace my heels up one foot at a time like the rest of us, buddy.
Oh. The slide.
Carry on.
Number 10: Cousin It got hot!
Is it too early for TWIC? http://i1305.photobucket.com/albums/s557/hunglikeamouse/FZCR0IC_zps7fec7f94.gif
Never too early.
That's some excellent TWIC hustle.
no, it's not.
Just be a little care belly scratching.
That wet lion smell.
#10 because she's all alone.
The kommentarait's plans for the weekend:
What is wrong with me
Might go to the museum.
These are glorious!
Happy Easter, fellows.
Maybe a show in Japan?
Needs more Mark Ryden.
Mark Ryan creates some WEIRD shit…. so, yeah, I like his stuff.
Another Ryden. This one is Easter appropriate. I saw his "Blood" exhibit a few years back. Very cool stuff. This piece is The Cloven Bunny.
*Mark Ryden
This is one of the Mark RYANs I just found pompadour in the front; party in the back!
So, Kermit faps lefty?
Good to know, frog.
Good. To. Know.
Thanks to the Internet, who doesn't?
Amy Smart. Crank: High Voltage (2009, Mark Neveldine and Brian Taylor).
Megan Fox. Jonah Hex (2010, Jimmy Hayward).
Peakie; almost SFW, but NSFW:
Ariana Marie. Here's the source video, shot in "4K" which is gratuitously stupid because it's a higher resolution than the human eye can perceive. Video is NSFW for full nudity. http://vimeo.com/84894476
What's up, bra?
Run to the beach.
Then just lie down on a blankie.
Nice underwear.
Nice hair!
"So what do you do for Victoria's Secret?"
"Oh, I tie up lose ends."
Adriana really can throw a zipper busting look. Amazing.
Cum to think of it, all of her expressions are zipper busters.
Fucking website. Fuck.
I know where you were going; happy easter.
We're just roommates; why do you ask?
Julie Ege Presents a Gold Record to Jethro Tull
Michelle Bauer. Hollywood Chainsaw Hookers (1988, Fred Olen Ray).
Fuck. Yes.
For those about to head out, we salute you.
Thanks, beer.
Well, they ARE good.
Holly Valance. DOA: Dead or Alive (2006, Corey Yuen).
Booo, shorts/underwear.
Yeah, it was more for the kick and stunt, but I always feel cheated somehow.
Another example of; "WHY did you have to wear your granny panties today?!?"
Damn panties. Should be illegal.
Gemma Atkinson.
Gloria Guida. La liceale (1975, Michele Massimo Tarantini).
Not sure what cosplay, but it she as though she's playing a fun character.
Atomic Woman; Marisa Miller.
Perfection. That is all
And if it's your birthday, have some cake!
Feel free to REALLY get into some cake.
So the clown blew early?
They can get kind of sensitive and have a hair trigger at times.
Holy shit; nice Kari gif!!!
Now is Sunday Jesus' birthday?
I can never keep this shit straight.
Something about a bunny.
@yeah right
It's his second birthday. Motherfucker's so special he gets two each year. The bunny is, uh… well, I mean it's a symbol of, er… Aw, fuck it. Who cares.
He just ran by me screaming something about his eggs.
You didn't dye his balls green again did you,@Old School Zero ?
@yeah right
If he would have just held still, they would be aquamarine like we intended, but NOOOOO…
@Old School Zero:Goddammit.
If you want a hilarious explanation for why there are bunnies at Easter read the book "Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal", but Christopher Moore. Preview is a drunk Jesus running around at the wedding at Cana yelling "I got a dry bunny over here!"

So after I finished voting for candy corn during this week's draft, I finished third in our weekly Wii golf tournament at the rec room.
That Nurse Ratched is a right B.i.T.C.H I tell you.
Don't make me spell it out for you.
They had the grooviest band playing..
Do you understand?
Candy corn? Well, they are always around so some large percentage of the population likes them. I doubt if it is a plot by BIG CANDY.
Time for my nightly reminder, thanks to Hannibal:
Hannibal cleaning fish, for some reason, was one of the more disturbing things in this show. And then… dinner is served, and the tentacles make it look even more menacing. Yet totally delicious.
Somehow I suspect this horse is at Mason Verger's estate, which means shit's about to get weird.
Already Margo has me all confused, because she's crazy and damaged, but yet…
Wait, a fucking bird in her chest? And something in the back of her throat, for a Buffalo Bill moth callback? What a great goddamn (and gross) autopsy scene.
Also, are Scott Thompson and Aaron Abrams good in this show? http://media.tumblr.com/04473423f3530ed546905ca0f5beff30/tumblr_inline_mup1ftwKam1qgp297.gif
Ahh, Jeremy Davies… the perfect guy for a vulnerable and damaged character who you might not totally trust. I like it. http://media.tumblr.com/1388f50330bb623d6d74227ce394d306/tumblr_inline_mqsz3fziot1qbqv0l.gif
Still can't top Amanda Plummer's killer of the week role, though. She was superb.
Will and Hannibal therapy sessions are the fucking best. I just try not to do my own therapy and ask why I'm so obsessed with this show.
Hannibal's telling Margo to think about some heinous stuff. Still, he seems to know what he's talking about.
Dr. Bloom's messing with creepy pretty guy's emotions, and he's being pretty creepy, since inside he's all: http://media.tumblr.com/c52693567d5a138e6bca200a4741c790/tumblr_inline_mm66mu3sxk1romrs2.gif
Still, dude is whacked enough that he seems to pass muster.
"Peter… is your social worker in that horse?"
That's how we greet each other these days?
And Hannibal just casually checking out the horse and walking away? Jeez. That's some cold shit. http://media.giphy.com/media/qFMECHz2DYHQI/giphy.gif
This show, goddamn. And the engineered beast exoskeleton coming in the next episode? Holy shit!
Shit, I stayed faaar too late at the tavern last night and missed Hanibal. I guess it's time to get that DVR set up my DTV provider keeps whoring.
Really liked the gifs OSZ.
So I guess pick it up at season one?
I guess if you streamed five episodes a week you would be caught up just in time for the season two finale? Some are free on IMDB 'cause I ain't payin' Amazon shit.
I'll just binge it sometime; I've got too much on the ol' DVR as it is.
Where's all the white men at?!
That said, #8 = would bang. I like my wimminz more hippy than whore. Free spirited > jaded 999 times out of 1000.
@Seizures2 : Welcome to the party. Moose just went out to get some replacement white men and some White Castle. He should be back any time.
Agreed with the free spirits, they're the only ones I remember. Many of them fondly.
Here's three in one shot.
But they all have shirts on! If you're just gonna phone it in, Moose…
Here you go.
We have no idea what your TASTES are.
Tastes: nakedness, muscle butts, muscular chests/shoulders/arms, and OF COURSE the almighty bulge. That aside, RDJ as Iron Man = lady wood. Mmm mm MMM!
Oh and firemen. OH and Native Americans. OH OH OH and guys with puppies, cuz beneath my crusty exterior lies a big ol softy.
OK, we've got it narro….. well, we've got an idea.
Did you eat all this acid?
That's right!
Best song on my ipod this morning.
Local boys. Irvine I believe.
Beer thirty.
Hey it's Good Friday -note the use of caps- We need something spiritual. You know what's the problem with this site man? You need to get to church!
Get your ass to church!
Dammit wasn't Moms hitting you on the noggin' enough?
First offering.. Love this tune.
Is a hell of a drug.
I thank the Great Spaghetti Monster every day that my parents were fairly neutral on religion.
If this site needs more church then:
I'm not into clubs like this though.
@Moose (The Thread Ender): My parents force fed us the old timey religion from birth. Pentecosts, they were, you know the holy rollers? Speaking in tongues and shit? Scary business.
Apart from weddings and funerals I haven't been in a church since the '70's.
I'll keep my old-timey science, thank you very much.
Coincidentally I'm serving spaghetti monster for dinner today.
"Now I believe in this and it's been tested by research;
He who fucks nuns will later join the church".
I think it was just to fit in but at my 7 though 9 years I started going to bible study my parents rolled eyes, but let me do my thing. The capper was church camp when I figured out my sense of humor would never fit into this crowd, they didn't know how to cook breakfast, and two of the preachers spit al la Bill Cower when they talked. Plus the fact that none of it made sense to me any more.
Fun times.
He has risen.
…and he needed adjustments to continue.
He has indeed risen. Images for your easter sunrise service.
Oooh. Megalyn Echikunwoke.
How could ABC have cancelled that show (Mind Games) after only five episodes?
Then again I never knew about it until I looked up who the gif was. Oops.

Karolina Kurkova should be part of the Kommentariot.
I thought I had more of her. Did you all know she played Cover Girl in G.I. Joe? The one with C-Tates.

Martin; thanks. This one has more camel toes than the Silk Road.
That VS white bikini shoot may have a little age on it but DAYUM it can still get it!
/pants fall off
The Is have it.
Anne legs.
Selma Blair and Christine Baranski. Cruel Intentions (1999, Roger Kumble).
re: Anne Hathaway's stems – My 75 year old paternal grandmother has nicer gams than that chicken legged blandita.
Otherwise, I applaud your taste though. Selma Blair's character in CI is possibly the sexiest retard I've ever come across. Actually, there's something erotic about that whole gif. Christine Baranski truly gets hotter with age.
We don't usually criticize other's tastes in women on Sexy Friday; it kills the spirit of Sexy Friday. Plus it is a fucking subjective opinion.
@Seizures2 Pics or your grandmother's legs don't compete
More movie leg crossings; in honor of Sharon Stones best scene ever.
Cameron Diaz. The Mask (1994, Chuck Russell).
Crotch shot;
My bad Moose. Please accept these pics of super sexy catwomen as recompense.
I tried to post pics of Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar twice by way of apology Moose, but the internet doesn't wanna let me today it seems…
No apology necessary; people just get used to complaining or criticizing and it spreads to all posts. I think the intent of Sexy Friday is a place to go to appreciate the range of tastes of others (including Sarah, jeeze) and have fun. That also may be why there are a few regulars and other skip it because there is not enough anger.
@Seizures2 Just post the URL, one per post.
Or better yet go fuck yourself until your attitude improves.
Also we will endeaver to post more dudes when you post; I tend to prefer guys that seem cool to me which are mainly 40s, 50s, 60s dudes so they are probably not your taste, but what the hell?
Dude was pretty ripped before there was that much rippage showing.
What Moose said. Sexy Friday should be a place where all sorts of beauty are appreciated in an accepting and loving environment.
And masturbation. Lots of masturbation.
Posting scenes of Cool Hand Luke without the Joy Harmon car wash.
Many have copied it, but never to the same affect.
Totally understand, I think my snark just overflows sometimes. Also, thank you Martin, that is what I was doing wrong (two links in one post). Tryin again, cuz Eartha Kitt is really just so lovely.
One more because she deserves it.
Well, my penis said 'no', but I knew he wanted it, the way he was dressed.
We are here to help nurture perversion.
Well, hair dryers have many uses.
No bad at all; I think we get in a certain mentality via the internet and it is a lot of times a negative, grinding, wearing thing that our first response is to criticize something we don't like. There are some places we can get away from that an let things flow.
Eartha is well named; talented in many ways, unique, and because of the times did not realize her full potential.
Also some more old school:
Leslie Parrish: born Marjorie Hellen, renamed Leslie Parrish for her starring role as Daisy Mae in Li'l Abner (1959)
The other thing I like is the situation; she is tall and has a short dress, both combine to make things ride up, she doesn't want/wants to show a little, but not too much, the awkwardness of the crossing makes me want to take a peak.
More red carpet shenanigans.
Here are a couple more from before the split. http://martinksk.tumblr.com/tagged/red-carpet
Martin; I had not seen that Kelly Brook one before; I like her attitude.
Oh yes. There's a whole set of those. That's just the best one that shows off her panties and erect nipples poking through her dress.
Speaking of Kelly Brook, I was looking at old photos of her from a thumb drive I found and she was really skinny around 2009 (a couple years before she got pregnant), and ever since then she's been this much more substantial and amazing woman.
Geez. It's been three years. :(
Enough of that.
TITS! http://24.media.tumblr.com/8bb0fbe4ef188721b3f269bff72d0212/tumblr_mzu3p6pifq1s9eeryo1_1280.jpg

I like a woman who enjoys her damn titties!
Fucking A right!
Scar-Jo; epileptic fit.
"OK boys; LET HER GO!"
Just a reminder that she's fully nude in Under the Skin, which opens in theaters soon.
How could I forget?
If Jayne Mansfield were still alive today (19th) would be her 81st birthday.
Ashley Judd's 46th b-day as well. (Pictured age younger and pokier.)
Aaaaaand holy shit I'm older than Ashley Judd.
Kate Hudson is 35 today.
Why in the hell did I start this damn thread? I'll blame the day drinking.
Maria Sharapova is 27.
If Jane rose from the dead, she'd have to do it twice.
Nice birthday thread.
Maria is a tall drink of water.
Maria is another one that to keep the fantasy you can't listen to her talk.
Old school; always enjoyed the maid/rich girl thing.
Didn't care that much for the last episode, definitely enjoyed True Detective. Here is a SFW of one of our favorite cast members.
Cannot see her anymore without thinking of her Witch Eyes.
She has eyes?
ABC Family; teens having sex.
The show's title, Switched at Birth, gave me serious pause.
Then I was like: http://stream1.gifsoup.com/view7/2541318/no-no-yes-o.gif
"You've changed; it's like I don't even know you any more."
For some reason this cracked me up; which is probably what he's been smoking.
Almost forgot doughnut porn.

Well, and here's to you kind sir.
Edited version of the first with more contrast. http://i.imgur.com/8AArBbz.jpg
Nice. Damn nice.
Are these from Under The Skin? My buddy says it's worth the movie ticket just for her…
"It's down there somewhere; KEEEEEEP LOOKING!"
Back in the day….
I remember the first time I saw this scene. I was 3 or 4.
It clearly left an impression.
The second one, from Cannonball Run 2.
Man, I love the Cannonball movies. Funny how certain things shape you as you grow up.
These were mine at 10, 11, 12, 13: were The Godfather, both in terms of the violence people did to each other and Simonetta Stefanelli's nice tities.
The Reivers; I thought Steve McQueen was cool as shit and his girlfriend was a prostitute; which I did not figure out what they did until that point in time.
and Raquel Welch in Fantastic Voyage; the zipper of the wetsuit.
I mentioned my first onscreen tits/softcore sex scene before, which was around the same time. It was fucked up. I saw hardcore before I saw The Godfather.
@Moose I think the ass bent over the car seat is that Gloria Guida babe you posted up higher. She's nice; Here's some frontal.
Martin; I'm glad I was brought in gradually, but at one time I was drawing cartoon like Blondie naked. My aunt's nursing manuals were the real teachers.
Spanky; interesting color pattern on her undies.
Some reality show; I don't want to know who or what, but….
It's Lindsay Lohan
I told you I didn't want to know.
Just kidding, I figured it probably was with that network and the face. The bend-over tits still work for a living. Plus in the second one she's talking with her tits.
Sorry Moose
Just kidding. She does have great tits; it's just what's above them that is fucked up.
Natalie Wood: American actress, married three times to two men: Robert Wagner, Richard Gregson and Robert Wagner.
Always had a deal with Natalie. To me the prototypical face.
Gumby is around here somewhere!
Wow. Eliza Coupe.
She was very nice on Happy Endings, but needs more showing off her tits.

Look at the shadow her hand and phone cast:
Hell of a thread this weekend, folks. You're doing the good work for all of us. For crying out loud, someone grant Martin embedding rights!
I never knew: She always played a mom.
Stella Stevens: born Estelle Eggleston in Yazoo City, Mississippi, posed nude for Playboy January 1960 at age 23.
So today is Easter and 4-20. I'm going to try and make a connection eventually.
Anyone else want to celebrate the occasion? I'll join in at 4:20 PDT.
I'll just have some beers.
Same here.
@Moose (The Thread Ender):@Martin:
Sounds good. What are you fine gentlemen drinking today? I've got most of a 12 pack of Stella, a sixer of Racer 5 IPAs and some icy cold cans of Budweiser.
Think I'll start with a Bud. Can I get you boys anything?
Olympia then moving on to Bulleit Rye
Let me look at the five left in the ol' fridge: a Guinness and this
and three of these:
While getting my grilling stuff in order I found a lonely bottle of Crabbie's original so I'm gonna release the Kraken and slice limes until it's empty.
Alrighty then. Todays specimen is J-1. A California medicinal grade sativa. I don't go much for the indicas. Shit, I have to watch Game of Thrones in a couple of hours.
And I found some Easter music.
Happy 4-20 folks.
Let's put another dime in the juke box.
I've got the screen door open..?
Emmanuelle Chriqui (semi-NSFW) http://thechive.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/emmanuelle-chriqui-17.jpg

It's warm out; not quite warm warm, but getting there.
I thought we'd
go to
the beach
at least in our heads.
We might see a celebrity like Kelly…
or Giada…
or Kate…
Maybe the latest in beachwear.
or shop for summer…
maybe just stay home and grille.
This morning's walk on the beach was goddamn glorious. About 65, light haze and a whole collection of hot ladies exercising.
Martin's link from… up there a ways.
Sexiness aside. I should start DVRing this show. Just seeing the screencaps made me laugh my ass off. http://imgur.com/a/Bc5xY
The Steve Harvey version of Family Feud is the best since Richard Dawson was kissing half the country.
Other game shows…..
The Way Way Back is on HBO. It suffers from some of the same flaws of every revisionist take on the screenwriters' failed adolescence, but it's still pretty good and Sam Rockwell is great as Sam Rockwell.
I've had some awesome cars in my life, but I never had a Beetle. I like how this one gives zero fucks to being hit by Dead Reckoning. http://i.imgur.com/tVdttdG.gif
A friend had a Beetle during my twenties; that was the best fucking snow/stoner car ever. Reliable easy to drive, good traction in snow, easy to fix, cheap, perfect for that age. This looks exactly like it.
A friend of mine as a teenager had a Golf GTI Mk I that looked exactly like this.
It's why I still drive a Golf GTI:
Maybe this affected Rex when he was young.
Claudine Auger: starred as assassin Dominique Derval opposite Sean Connery as James Bond in Thunderball (1965).
Ann-Margret: real-life motorbike enthusiast and rider in a production still from The Swinger (1966).
BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIG hair!
Raquel Welch: Texan-born model, started on American television breakout movie performance as Loana the cavegirl in the British movie One Million Years B.C. (1966).
hey guys

Guatemalan coffee is arguably the crown jewel of Central America. That doesn't not mean all Guatemalan coffees are good ... but it does means that the potential on the upside, the possibility of 88+ point coffees, is greater from regions in Guatemala than its neighboring countries. Great Guatemalan coffees have a bright cup character, floral hints, clean fruited notes, moderate body, and a lingering clean aftertaste. With varying qualities, farms ranging from huge estates to tiny small-holders perched on steep slopes, and different cup characteristics from within the same micro-regions, there is much to learn to appreciate the complexity of Guatemala coffee.
Guatemala Acatenango Gesha
Acatenango Gesha has perfumed florals, jasmine and orange blossom, along with a clean, honeyed sweetness. The cooling cup is complex, with fresh tropical fruits, red punch, herbal and black tea flavors, and brilliant acidity. This coffee cups Gesha all the way, and makes for a stunning cup of coffee.

It's the first time I've ever done one of these and I anticipated getting "burned" but I'm not TOO mad about it. At the same time every time I log into Ebay there's a feedback reminder and I'm not leaving positive feedback if I didn't get what the description stated. Penny for your thoughts.

Want to know how to get a gun?
Just ask Chris.
The skinny teen attends high school in Chicago and is a talented athlete. But he's also a notorious gunslinger.
As a shooter in a South Side gang, he can get his hands on a gun as quick as you can get a burger at a fast-food restaurant.
"I will make a call and say I need a gun. I will ride down the street on my bike and get it — five minutes."
The Chicago Sun-Times sat down with Chris for a lesson on how gangs get guns. Armed gangs like Chris' have driven up Chicago's murder total 28 percent above the tally at this time last year. And Chris is on the front lines of the shooting.
"For your 'hood, you can't stop [getting] guns because it's war season. A gang need any gun it can get," said the teen, who has worked as an informant for police and asked for anonymity. The Sun-Times is identifying him by an alias.
'Gun guys'
He knows men whose full-time job in the underground economy is to buy guns from suburban stores and illegally sell them to criminals.
Chris calls them the "gun guys." The cops have another name for them: "straw purchasers."
"Gun guys" have clean records allowing them to obtain Illinois firearm owner's identification cards. With FOID cards, they can legally buy guns at stores in the suburbs.
Then they illegally sell them to gang members banned from owning guns because of their criminal backgrounds.
Most of the guns recovered in crimes in Chicago were bought in suburban gun stores, according to a new University of Chicago Crime Lab study of police gun-trace data.
The police sometimes interview the people who originally bought the guns. Often, police are simply told the guns were stolen from them.
But authorities say most straw purchasers are lying when they say their guns were stolen. It's hard to catch them unless they confess to the crime.
"It can be a man or a girl, but it's mainly a guy," Chris said of the straw purchasers he knows. "Somebody that got a gun license, they buy the gun, scratch off the serial number and sell it to you."
Chris said the big drug dealers in his neighborhood have the cash to pay straw purchasers for guns — more than $600 for a decent semiautomatic handgun, a markup from the retail price.
But Chris doesn't sling dope. He doesn't have a job. He doesn't have the money to pay a "gun guy."
So he and his crew look elsewhere for guns.
Stealing 'gats'
Their demand for handguns is insatiable because cops seize them or they have to ditch them after they commit crimes with them.
"Say one of your guys gets bumped [arrested] with a gun," Chris said. "Now your gang need another gun. It's a lot of people who get bumped, a lot of people who get caught. The chances are like 50-50. If I get caught, I'm gonna need another gat."
"Or you may have people who did a murder and want to get rid of their gun," he said. "Now they get another gun and you take theirs."
Chris said one major source of guns in his neighborhood was a ring that burglarized suburban gun stores.
In January, one of those stores, Maxon Shooters Supply & Indoor Range in northwest suburban Des Plaines, was looted of about 200 guns after thieves broke in with a sledgehammer, police said.
Lots of those guns wound up in the hands of gangs on the South Side — including people Chris knows.
"They sold people the guns — and when those people got caught, they snitched," he said.
Police have arrested the suspected thieves, including some members of the Gangster Disciples street gang. But police are continuing to try to track down all the guns, officials said.
Another source of stolen guns is "the freights," Chris said.
He was talking about the freight trains parked on easy-to-access rail yards on the South Side.
"You bust the lock," he said. "Once you get in there, you may get the wrong thing. You may get shoes or something. You feel me? But you keep trying. We tried it before and we know what kind of containers they in. They're carrying all type of handguns — in crates."
But the revolver Chris most recently acquired came from yet another "hot" source: a friend who stole the gun from a relative who legally registered the weapon with the city.
The friend lent the revolver to Chris, but he never gave the gun back.
"It's a grimy world these days, I won't lie," he said. "I told my friend I lost it, but I kept it for myself."
The gun had a serial number on it, so Chris scraped it off with a screwdriver. The cops can't trace the weapon back to the original owner without the serial number, he explained.
"I don't want no one to snitch on me," the teenager said.
He'd like a 'Nine'
A revolver isn't the weapon of choice for Chris or his gang buddies.
They prefer "nines" — 9mm semiautomatic handguns — but they're harder to get.
"It can hold like 17 shots," he said. "A revolver only holds six shots. And I like the grip on a nine. I don't like the revolvers, but that's what I've mainly been getting. People holding on to their nines."
Chris said his crew members hide their weapons in their homes, but keep them "steady moving" to different locations to avoid police seizures.
Anyone in the gang can use one of the weapons, Chris said. Five of his crew members also have guns, he said.
The crew needs its weapons about three times a week, he said. Sometimes, it's for self-protection.
Sometimes it's to go shooting at rivals — or "drilling," as he puts it.
Other times, the young gangsters simply pose with their guns in homemade rap videos they post on Facebook and YouTube.
Chris credits the Chicago rapper Chief Keef with inspiring him to carry a gun and use it over the past year.
"I wasn't doing this before I started watching the videos. The females want to see you be a tough gang-banger," he said.
Unlike the Hollywood caricature of a gangster who points his pistol sideways to fire at his rivals, Chris said he knows how to shoot correctly.
"Two hands on the weapon, arms straight out," he said.
In his neighborhood, nobody calls the police when he practices with his gun in his backyard.
"What are they going to say, like, 'I just heard a random shot?' "
He said he takes the gun with him when he and his friends are venturing into the neighborhoods of rival gangs. He calls his rivals "ops" for opposition.
"If I'm going to go over there and kill somebody, if we're going to go over there and drill or if we're trying to get past the ops to go downtown or the beach, we [have] our guns," he said.
Guns or games?
Chris said he wants to leave gang-banging and concentrate on sports — and his dreams of attending junior college.
Often, he escapes his neighborhood to hang out with high school friends who live in places where he won't cross paths with his gang rivals. He and his high school friends shoot hoops instead of guns.
"Everybody wants out of this," he said. "Everybody would love to live in a mansion, move out of town and live in the suburbs."
But the reality is that retribution is a powerful force that keeps gang members like him from changing their ways.
It motivates Chris to keep hanging out with his crew members in the 'hood — even though cops, ministers and other authority figures have encouraged him to get out of the gangster life.
He notes that four of his friends have been killed in gang shootings.
"You want to shoot back," he said. "You want to go over there and drill."
Asked whether he would feel bad if he fired at a rival and hit a child, he quickly answered:
"I ain't gonna think about it. If it's his nephew or something, he gotta feel the pain because he put his nephew there. If you a gang-banger, why you have a little kid with you?"
Chris said he doesn't think the police will ever rid the streets of guns in Chicago — unless legislators make getting caught with a firearm punishable with an extraordinarily harsh sentence, such as life in prison.
He said his first gun-possession arrest, which resulted in probation, was a "joke."
He was standing with his crew when police stopped and frisked them and found a gun on Chris.
The arrest taught him how to avoid getting caught with a gun, Chris said.
Now when he goes on the street and needs a gun, a girl carries it for him in her purse.
Chris said he's confident he and his crew will always be one step ahead of the police.
"You'll never stop us from getting guns," he said. "You feel me?"

^ (@ TheSpectatingLoner, as a couple more posts came in while I wrote this) Though "only" for a day, you were a political prisoner.
You made a good choice. Walpole is not suitable for any living creature.
In 1990 I was accosted, and told "You are under arrest for the possession of marijuana." (I had two joints on me.) Things changed, though, as the process moved on. I was in the drunk tank for a couple hours as they figured out what they were doing, after they confiscated all of my money (because their drug dog did a positive "hit" on a bunch of cardboard boxes I was transporting, which can get a little smelly on a deep overcast and humid day) - "obviously" my money was derived by making a big sale or something.
I had some discretion in what I chose to do. This was more than 300 miles from home. I could have fought it in court, and very likely won, but spending a ton of money for a lawyer (probably nearly as much as they seized from me), and making the trip to Court only to find out the prosecution had put in for a continuance. (How many continuances and wasted trips? Three? Five?) No matter what happened, even if acquitted, very likely there would be some trace of it on my record.
At the time I wasn't thinking about the ability to do things such as entering Canada for a visit (which I think is impossible with any kind of CRIMINAL record, no matter how trivial - speeding tickets and such are VIOLATIONS not crimes).
My decision included having to make some assumptions. After they finished their processing, I was free to go, no jail, no court date assigned. "NO COURT DATE? Um...I think this is their PARTYING money, and I don't think there's any official paperwork anywhere, and therefore NO police record."
The "receipt" they gave me for the seized money was ANYTHING BUT official, it was just a small mimeographed or photocopied half-sheet which didn't even fully explain the seizure. That further made me realize that no report of any kind would probably ever be seen outside that small town in Minnesota. I just let it be, confident that doing so would assure that nothing ever showed up, because this was nothing more than a shakedown.
Which, in my case, I consider to be THEIR crime of armed robbery...and I left, thankful that they didn't steal my car as well, etc.

Anodized aluminum finishes are almost as hard as diamonds, and are one of the most durable finishes available. The anodizing process places the aluminum in a chemically stable and non-toxic bath. An electric current is passed through the bath, causing the surface of the aluminum to oxidize and form a stronger coating than the original surface of the aluminum. The resulting oxide coating provides outstanding surface properties including excellent resistance to abrasion, erosion, and ultraviolet light degradation.
Additional processing can add color to anodized aluminum ranging from bronze-tones to black, giving it the appearance of other metals. This process produces finishes in: black, champagne, clear anodized, dark bronze, extra dark bronze, light bronze, and medium bronze.
To inquire about anodize finishes, warranty information and aftercare instructions contact your Marvin Dealer.

David induces the princes and people to offer willingly. (1-9) His thanksgiving and prayer. (10-19) Solomon enthroned. (20-25) David's reign and death. (26-30)
Verses 1-9 What is done in works of piety and charity, should be done willingly, not by constraint; for God loves a cheerful giver. David set a good example. This David offered, not from constraint, or for show; but because he had set his affection to the house of God, and thought he could never do enough towards promoting that good work. Those who would draw others to good, must lead the way themselves.
Verses 10-19 We cannot form a right idea of the magnificence of the temple, and the buildings around it, about which such quantities of gold and silver were employed. But the unsearchable riches of Christ exceed the splendour of the temple, infinitely more than that surpassed the meanest cottage on earth. Instead of boasting of these large oblations, David gave solemn thanks to the Lord. All they gave for the Lord's temple was his own; if they attempted to keep it, death would soon have removed them from it. They only use they could make of it to their real advantage, was, to consecrate it to the service of Him who gave it.
Verses 20-25 This great assembly joined with David in adoring God. Whoever is the mouth of the congregation, those only have the benefit who join him, not by bowing down the head, so much as by lifting up the soul. Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord. Solomon's kingdom typified the kingdom of the Messiah, whose throne is the throne of the Lord.
Verses 26-30 When we read the second book of Samuel, we could scarcely have expected to behold David appear so illustrious in his closing scene. But his repentance had been as remarkable as his sin; and his conduct during his afflictions, and towards the end of his life, appears to have had a good effect on his subjects. Blessed be God, even the chief of sinners may hope for a glorious departure, when brought to repent and flee for refuge to the Saviour's atoning blood. Let us mark the difference between the spirit and character of the man after God's own heart, living and dying, and those of worthless professors, who resemble him in nothing but their sins, and who wickedly try to excuse their crimes by his sins. Let us watch and pray, lest we be overcome by temptation, and overtaken by sin, to the dishonour of God, and the wounding of our own consciences. When we feel that we have offended, let us follow David's example of repentance and patience, looking for a glorious resurrection, through our Lord Jesus Christ.
1 Chronicles 29:1-9 . DAVID CAUSES THE PRINCES AND PEOPLE TO OFFER FOR THE HOUSE OF GOD.
1, 2. Solomon . . . is yet young and tender--Though Solomon was very young when he was raised to the sovereign power, his kingdom escaped the woe pronounced ( Ecclesiastes 10:16 ). Mere childhood in a prince is not always a misfortune to a nation, as there are instances of the government being wisely administered during a minority. Solomon himself is a most illustrious proof that a young prince may prove a great blessing; for when he was but a mere child, with respect to his age, no nation was happier. His father, however, made this address before Solomon was endowed with the divine gift of wisdom, and David's reference to his son's extreme youth, in connection with the great national undertaking he had been divinely appointed to execute, was to apologize to this assembly of the estates--or, rather, to assign the reason of his elaborate preparations for the work.
3, 4. Moreover . . . I have of mine own proper good, &c.--In addition to the immense amount of gold and silver treasure which David had already bequeathed for various uses in the service of the temple, he now made an additional contribution destined to a specific purpose--that of overlaying the walls of the house. This voluntary gift was from the private fortune of the royal donor, and had been selected with the greatest care. The gold was "the gold of Ophir," then esteemed the purest and finest in the world ( Job 22:24 , 28:16 , Isaiah 13:12 ). The amount was three thousand talents of gold and seven thousand talents of refined silver.
5. who then is willing to consecrate his service--Hebrew, "fill his hand"; that is, make an offering ( Exodus 32:29 , Leviticus 8:33 , 1 Kings 13:33 ). The meaning is, that whoever would contribute voluntarily, as he had done, would be offering a freewill offering to the Lord. It was a sacrifice which every one of them could make, and in presenting which the offerer himself would be the priest. David, in asking freewill offerings for the temple, imitated the conduct of Moses in reference to the tabernacle ( Exodus 25:1-8 ).
6-8. Then the chief of the fathers--or heads of the fathers ( 1 Chronicles 24:31 , 27:1 ).
princes of the tribes--( 1 Chronicles 27:16-22 ).
rulers of the king's work--those who had charge of the royal demesnes and other possessions ( 1 Chronicles 27:25-31 ).
offered willingly--Influenced by the persuasive address and example of the king, they acted according to their several abilities, and their united contributions amounted to the gross sum--of gold worth about $125,000,000; and of silver, about $17,000,000, besides brass and iron.
7. drams--rather, "darics," a Persian coin, with which the Jews from the time of the captivity became familiar, and which was afterwards extensively circulated in the countries of Western Asia. It is estimated as equal in value to about $5 in American currency.
of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand talents of iron--In Scripture, iron is always referred to as an article of comparatively low value, and of greater abundance and cheaper than bronze [NAPIER].
8. and they with whom precious stones were found--rather, "whatever was found along with it of precious stones they gave" [BERTHEAU]. These gifts were deposited in the hands of Jehiel, whose family was charged with the treasures of the house of the Lord ( 1 Chronicles 26:21 ).
1 Chronicles 29:10-25 . HIS THANKSGIVING.
10-19. Wherefore David blessed the Lord--This beautiful thanksgiving prayer was the effusion overflowing with gratitude and delight at seeing the warm and widespread interest that was now taken in forwarding the favorite project of his life. Its piety is displayed in the fervor of devotional feeling--in the ascription of all worldly wealth and greatness to God as the giver, in tracing the general readiness in contributing to the influence of His grace, in praying for the continuance of this happy disposition among the people, and in solemnly and earnestly commending the young king and his kingdom to the care and blessing of God.
16. all this store that we have prepared--It may be useful to exhibit a tabular view of the treasure laid up and contributions stated by the historian as already made towards the erection of the proposed temple. Omitting the brass and iron, and precious stones, which, though specified partly ( 1 Chronicles 29:7 ), are represented in other portions as "without weight" ( 1 Chronicles 22:3 1 Chronicles 22:14 ), we shall give in this table only the amount of gold and silver. Taking the talent of gold as worth approximately $25,000 and the talent of silver as $1,700, we arrive at the following amounts of contributions:
Sum accumulated and in public treasury ( 1 Chronicles 22:14 ): | |
Gold | $2,500,000,000 |
Silver | 1,700,000,000 |
Contributed by David personally ( 1 Chronicles 29:4 ): | |
Gold | 82,000,000 |
Silver | 12,000,000 |
Contributed by assembled rulers ( 1 Chronicles 29:7 ): | |
Gold | 125,000,000 |
Silver | 17,000,000 |
A grand total of approximately | $4,436,000,000. |
Though it has been the common practice of Eastern monarchs to hoard vast sums for the accomplishment of any contemplated project, this amount so far exceeds not only every Oriental collection on record, but even the bounds of probability, that it is very generally allowed that either there is a corruption of the text in 1 Chronicles 22:14 , or that the reckoning of the historian was by the Babylonian, which was only a half, or the Syrian, which was only a fifth part, of the Hebrew talent. This would bring the Scripture account more into accordance with the statements of JOSEPHUS, as well as within the range of credibility.
20. all the congregation . . . worshipped the Lord, and the king--Though the external attitude might be the same, the sentiments of which it was expressive were very different in the two cases--of divine worship in the one, of civil homage in the other.
21, 22. they sacrificed . . . And did eat and drink--After the business of the assembly was over, the people, under the exciting influence of the occasion, still remained, and next day engaged in the performance of solemn rites, and afterwards feasted on the remainder of the sacrifices.
22. before the Lord--either in the immediate vicinity of the ark, or, perhaps, rather in a religious and devout spirit, as partaking of a sacrificial meal.
made Solomon . . . king the second time--in reference to the first time, which was done precipitately on Adonijah's conspiracy ( 1 Kings 1:35 ).
they . . . anointed . . . Zadok--The statement implies that his appointment met the popular approval. His elevation as sole high priest was on the disgrace of Abiathar, one of Adonijah's accomplices.
23. Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord--As king of Israel, he was the Lord's vicegerent.
24. submitted themselves--Hebrew, "put their hands under Solomon," according to the custom still practised in the East of putting a hand under the king's extended hand and kissing the back of it ( 2 Kings 10:15 ).
1 Chronicles 29:26-30 . HIS REIGN AND DEATH.
26. Thus David . . . reigned--(See 1 Kings 2:11 ).

Victim's parents call McCowan conviction 'small piece of justice'
By James D. Wolf Jr. Post-Tribune correspondent February 27, 2013 12:04PM
Article Extras

VALPARAISO — During a news conference about Tuesday's murder conviction of 20-year-old Dustin McCowan, the Porter County Sheriff's Department said his father, a Crown Point police officer, is also under investigation.
Detective Cmdr. Jeff Biggs said Wednesday morning the department has been investigating Elliot McCowan. Chief deputy prosecutor Matt Frost said this could lead to aiding-after-the-fact charges based on information from six months ago and testimony details during trial.
Sheriff's police have no others under investigation, Biggs said.
John Vouga, who represented Dustin McCowan with Nick Barnes, didn't know of any charges.
"It's the first time I've heard of it, but I'm certainly not going to tell the Porter County Sheriff how to do their job," Vouga said. "If they want to file trumped-up charges against him, it'll be my honor to defend him."
The rest of the news conference reviewed the 17 months of investigation and the more than three weeks of trial for the murder of 19-year-old Amanda Bach.
Officials and Bach's parents thanked all those involved, including those who helped with the search in Union Township for her body in September 2011 and who gave tips to police and comfort to the family.
For the Bach family, McCowan's conviction and his scheduled March 28 sentencing leave mixed emotions.
"This is a bittersweet victory. Although there is justice, there are no winners," Sandra Bach, Amanda's mother, said. "Amanda did not deserve to be killed by a sick, jealous coward."
Paraphrasing what the defense team said about the murder, "it would take a sociopath to commit this crime. That would be Dustin McCowan," she said.
Amanda's father, Bill Bach, said he kept strong "through my faith and through Amanda. Amanda needed some justice. This really isn't justice, but it is a small piece of justice. He won't be out killing another girl," Bill Bach said.
The family is considering establishment of a scholarship at Portage High School in their daughter's name.
Biggs thanked the FBI, Valparaiso Police and Lake County Sheriff's Department for their help in the investigation.
Although the defense argued that police targeted McCowan, "The focus was Amanda Bach," Biggs said.
He said there was no need to get everyone's fingerprints and DNA because "the only person whose alibi didn't check out was Dustin McCowan's."
This was not his first brush with the law.
In December 2010, he was one of the seniors who broke into Wheeler High School and vandalized it as a senior prank. The school handled the discipline internally.
Biggs also said although there was an incident outside the Porter County Courthouse after the verdict Tuesday night, no arrests were made.
A McCowan supporter allegedly drove by and shouted at a group of Bach supporters that the real murderer wasn't found. A squad car chased down the car.

Promotional products can be used as advertising materials, used as displays or as parts of displays in retail stores to draw attention to your product.
Direct-Mail Marketing
Using promotional products with sales letters can decrease the cost of securing a sales appointment by 65 percent, according to a 1992 study by the Silver Marketing Group for the Promotional Products Association International. The same study found that the inclusion of a promotional product with a sales letter yielded nearly twice the response of a letter with only a business reply card, and offering an "expensive" clock increased the percent response four times.
Employee/Community/Customer Relations
From building goodwill in the community to calming the waters after a crisis, companies, municipalities and organisations have used promotional products to inform, educate, thank, remind and apologise.
Clubs/Society Identification
People are usually proud of their affiliations and enjoy wearing, carrying and displaying products bearing their club or organisation's logo, colours, slogan, etc.
Cause-Related Marketing
From the "fur is not a fabric" movement to promoting breast cancer awareness, cause-oriented groups, organisations and charities use promotional products to promote their messages, and many companies will support those causes or market their own products and services through them.
Brand Awareness
In an ever-cluttered marketplace with too many consumer choices, brand marketers are relying more and more on promotional products to garner brand loyalty.
Fund Raising
From libraries to charitable organisations, fund raising is often a huge undertaking that can last anywhere from a few months to an entire year or be ongoing, encompassing multiple requests for donations. Promotional products are sometimes used in those requests or used as incentives/rewards for donations, often on a scale.
You might be commemorating your company's 100th anniversary by giving employees a gold-toned hammer-shaped keytag, representative of your company's number one product, or you might give community volunteers brass railroad spikes to thank them for their backbreaking work on refurbishing the town's railroad station. Souvenirs and remembrances are used to mark myriad occasions.
