You can always sell quality equipment.

I buy and sell archery equipment regularly. I like to try different bows and when one doesn't feel right or I get tired of it I sell or trade it. I very rarely lose money...well, as long as you don't count shipping cost :)
Is it tough to clean the human blood off the arrows?

My arrows are so beautiful and meticulously crafted that I would never waste one on a human.

That's what my .223 is for.

these are my ugliest arrows I make...not necessarily ugly but easiest to make. By using wraps as opposed to hand dipping and painting. I weigh each arrow to +/- 2 grains...a postage stamp is 10 grains. I fletch, weigh, straighten or check for straighness, spin test every arrow I shoot and anyone I ever coach, my arrow builds can get them an extra few points in a tournament....Nah I would never waste that on some random dude

That’s not what the first episode of Fantasy Island would have you believe.
Fantasy island were all the washed up stars come to realize that fantasies aren't always what they're cracked up to be with Mr. Rouke guilding them?

Or one the dozens of the Richard Connell adaptations of The Most Dangerous Game?

Thanks Bleed. I've actually decided I'm going for Indian. That will also give me good leftovers for lunch tomorrow.
I have yet to eat any Indian food, but there’s a place near where I live and it smells amazing. And there were like 4 or 5 different kinds of restaurants coming in and out of that space and they would only last a year or less, but this place has finally stayed the last 3 years now.

I keep saying I’m gonna try it, but with my luck I’ll order something that isn’t whatever smells great always coming from there and I won’t like it.

I recommend - if they have it, or another place - a buffet. That way you can try a little bit of everything.

Buffets are a good way to go if you haven't had it before, and want to get a sense for the flavors.

If you've had it a few times, then I'd skip the buffet because it generally doesn't have the best dishes on the menu.

My recommendations for people who want to try Indian food without getting anything crazy spicy or pungent are to get tikka masala (paneer or chicken), malai kofta, and saag paneer. Get any of those with an order of garlic naan and a samosa, and you'll love it.

Lol. It's actually not that difficult. I think for most it's a patience and attention to detail thing. Traits that seem to get more scarce by the day. As it's all by hand, it's not something that gets away from you quickly so you generally don't end up with a big mess. But you can certainly end up with an ugly fly.

Ugly flies get the razor blade. Cut it apart and do it over...and over and over.

After months of looking for a new job, I finally got a good offer, and accepted it this morning!

I also just gave notice at my current job.

It's been a crazy day, but I'm looking forward to celebrating this weekend!
Congratulations. Are you going to have to relocate at all?

So as a few of you might know I’m a Beatles fan. I listen to a Beatles related podcast as part of my rotation when I exercise. It covers the Let It Be/Get Back era since so much of it was recorded. Well something not covered in either Let It be or the Peter Jackson Get Back was in this podcast. On January 8 1969 during a rehearsal George was middling around on a piano. He stared inprovising a mid tempo rolling riff. It’s 90% of Imagine. Really obvious. No way John didn’t hear it. George should have gotten partial credit for Imagine. Really surpsiing to hear that. You learn something new everday.

That truly is surprising.

My first English teacher was a huge Beatles nerd. He had long hair and looked like someone you could imagine playing Beatles covers in an English pub. He would play us guitar and show stuff like Monty Python and we couldnt even understand the language properly let alone the jokes. He would laugh at all of them though, despite probably having seen them like 100 times. He was a really cool dude and one of the few teachers I got along with. I hope to run into him one day and have a legit chat cause teachers get no respect whatsoever.
