Your biggest ownage moments

[½ A Gram]

my most notable blades happen to be a perfectly balanced throwing knife i found behind my garage, a meat cleaver that never gets used, but is kept in the kitchen for show (it'd be pretty useless in a fight. Chopping weapons are clumsy and leave you open for longer) a machete (light, sharp, and pointed ended) and an * inch hunting knife i got from my grandfather on my fathers side, in a fantastic leather carrier, embossed with a moose. very nice, yes?

[vitg]

Pictures nao !

I used to have a really nice one piece metal Gerber knife about 20 years ago.
The handle was finished in textured dark grey and it came in a beautiful leather sheath. I have not been able to find a picture of the same knife but it was about 8 '' long, from memory.

Unfortunately I lost it, when it got stuck in my last victim, errr........
I meant to say when we moved house.

I can't say i can get pictures. I haven't been able to find the case anywhere, and it just ain't the same. The throwing knife? I have no idea where it is. the machete is currently at my feet, if you want pictures of that.

I actually have a three piece set of Chicago Cutlery knives that I bought at Wal-Mart. They're all-stainless, very durable, and seem to hold a pretty good edge (as far as kitchen knives go). I like how they look, and the all-steel construction (one piece of metal, no seams, etc.) makes for very easy cleaning. I figure if I ever get to go hunting again, I'll probably just rig up a nylon sheath for the 6" slicer and use that for whatever dressing I need to do. Or, I may just go with the 3.5" utility. However, the 8" butcher knife is just far too unwieldy for such use.

Remember, knives are not for killing! They are for cleaning/dressing whatever you have killed by more "bullet-flinging" means. If it was not killed with a gun, then it just wasn't killed violently enough. ;D

Our kitchen knives are Chicago Cutlery. They do hold an edge pretty well. We've had them for many many years, I don't even remember not having them. Half of them have a wood handle that encases the single piece of metal, the other half has the plastic handles.

Igni: A friend of my old man hunts with a bow. he could easily take down 3 or 4 deer, if he wanted to, as it's nice and quiet.

Stealth>Splatter

Now, i don't think he could take down a moose, unless he got plenty close (Something you really wanna think over) but i think he could take down a good sized bear, with a good shot.

I'll try and find batteries for pictures of the machete, at least. i'll also try and find the throwing knife.

AND: my newest ownage moment. We have a trampoline set up. and we also have a resident magpie that shits on it every damned morning. Today, frankly, i got tired of it, and decided to get revenge. Taking my air pistol (I don't own any real guns, obviously) and loading it with spear tipped pellets, i clambered up onto my garage roof via our fence, and waited.

He came round soon enough, and left a real nice blob on my good and clean trampoline. waiting for him to land on the neighbour's roof, i lined up the retrofitted 4x scope from my old canister pellet rifle, and peppered the little shit with all 18 shots from the pistol. I hit him a good few times. What did i say?

"Haha, now their dogs can shit on you!"

I agree, using a gun really takes the sport out of it. It's also cowardly and less skillful.

If i could afford it, I'd get myself a bow/crossbow and practice. No license needed, reusable ammo, and less conspicuous.

A burglar holding this:

I agree that using a gun can seem somewhat cheap or whatever, but then again, using a gun can also be an art of its own. For example, have you ever tried to shoot an 8" target from 350yd. across a canyon, slightly uphill, through variable winds? It's not so easy. Not like shooting some fat slob behind the ear from point-blank range.

Have any here ever stalked within 50yd of a North American whitetail? They're notoriously skittish, and at the slightest hint of noise will bug the hell out. It's difficult to get there, much less to take time to line up a shot and not give yourself away (their eyes detect movement very well).

I have used a bow quite a lot, and dearly love it. I am not a very good shot with it, but I can kill efficiently. I have also hunted black bears in NE Arkansas with this bow. I never got to take one, but I have NO doubts whatsoever about the capabilities of a 125 grain broadhead. I have also stalked within a mere 15 yards of a small clutch of whitetail deer. They never even saw me (they got spooked and bugged out when my Pappy shifted his feet to take a shot). Still, I prefer the gun. There's no smell that thrills me quite the way that spent gunpowder can. It is heavenly...

[½ A Gram]

uhh...125 grain?

Jaime (My old Man's friend) hunts with 325grain 5 point, IIRC. 300+ FPS. Now i don't know much, but that's gotta be fast.

haha

My dad does a little bow hunting. It's much more challenging and you have to be more serious about what you're doing than with rifle hunting. Bow hunters need to be better camouflaged, eliminate scent, and remain damn near motionless for much of the day when hunting things like whitetail.

Actually, hunting antelope by bow is a pretty good time, or so I hear. They're really curious animals, so they're much less skittish than whitetails.

And for anyone that cares, mule deer >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> whitetail. They get bigger, taste a little better and in general have bigger racks. Unfortunately, all we have here in Minnesota in serious numbers is the whitetail. When we lived in Montana, my dad would often come home with 220+ pound mulies (after gutting). Whitetail that large are much more rare.

This isn't ownage by myself, more of a parental ownage. A few days ago I got wrangled into working ER exclusively the last couple hours of my shift, and I came across a patient with the last name of Buttram. That patient is still hospitalized today, but hopefully they've already undergone surgery. I think it was hip replacement, clumsy old fart. Anywho, I think I'd change my name at some point during those 70-something years.

There was also a black dude with the last name of Whiteman, but that's not quite as funny as a name describing acts only seen in extreme hardcore anal pr0n.

Possibly funnier, however, was the asian lady whose med orders we came across one day in the pharmacy. Hung Twat. Yes, that's someone's name. I just about wet my pants.

Ok, so I never really attempt to own anyone, and we/if I do, don't bother to recognize it much, but this is just tooo stupid not to post here. This is from the Uncharted board.

Simple question, right?

GG_ORDAN, stop being a shallow minded fanboy and accept that some PS3 games have counterparts of your precious xbox achievements. In case of Uncharted, it's actually a lot better since you're rewarded with more than just a number to look at.

WTF! Ok.

Ok, this is going to get deleted, but you're an idiot if that's how you interpreted my post. It was a simple question because as far as I know, achievements are an Xbox exclusive, the rewards in Uncharted aren't exactly the same thing.

Second, I don't own an Xbox and have no desire to, so your comment about being a shallow minded fanboy would only be true if you're calling me a PS3 fanboy. And really, I don't see being called a fanboy much of an insult and reflects more of your own fanboyism calling me that.

Third, yea, from what I know about Xbox achievements, they're completely useless, serve no purpose other than "I have more points than you!" and are a really childish marketing point for Xbots.

Thanks for making yourself out to look like such a jackass. I've never had any reason to say this about my own post, but Final_Auron, you've been PWN'D! And mostly by your own comments.

Expect this to be reposted in edited form when this does get deleted. Thanks for your time and concern.

[nightmare75]

Wow. Just wow. How could you be so ridiculously dumb? "Aren't achievements an Xbox thing, not PS3?" is about as simple a question as there is and has zero malice towards anything that you could glean from it. I'd like to know the thought process that brought him from reading that question to calling you a fanboy.
