That's a fantasy figure, much like the job itself. He's "researching starting a project management maturity level assessors consulting business." He hasn't started it, he's "researching" starting it. He's practicing using the lingo then, if he ever does "start" his business, he can practice some more while he sits in his living room ("Suite 1600"), waiting for the phone to ring.

l'm feeling really disgusted in my fellow aussies right now. There is some American women coming and the city is apparently filled up with hundreds of thousands of dills waiting for this bleedin' woman. Waiting for the Queen l would understand, but no-one else. Some of these `no hopers' have been sitting around since last night. When l read the paper to find out what this Winfred woman did for a job l almost put a fist through the wall with rage, the joker is a talkshow host or something. IDIOTS! What even worse is this intruder is having a party at the place l need to be at this afternoon...if l have to cancell fists are gonna fly and people are gonna get yelled at.

l remember in the 80's when Prince Charles came to Melbourne. Me and my dad were down the bank of the river fishing and Charles was just up the hill about 200 meters away playing polo. Some people yelled out "are you going to see the Prince"? ...my dad said back "nuh...were fishing".

A Gentlemanly gun says, "with respect old chap" as the projectile enters your chest.

Is this possible that an employer would say "No tie" at interview?

Or is "smart casual" just a desperate plea for no shorts, wife beaters, bare feet or tracky daks and please shower?

I thought airplane pilots had to pass a fitness test and being"fat", in the OPs own words, was a big no no. Or is being fat in USA no barrier to being "fit"

I've got a .22 rifle in the closet. I don't even know what brand it is.

My late brother liked guns. When he died we found all sorts of armaments. It was a little alarming.

And my father has several good shotguns and handguns. I guess I will inherit the whole shebang, and I have no idea what I will do with it all. I'd like to keep the shotguns — who knows, maybe I'll take up grouse hunting — and it would be fun to have a few pistols handy. I think Connecticut's gun laws are fairly sane but I should probably get the ball rolling now before some bright penny decides that nobody can have anything. (They do love to ban things.)

Actually, a "gentlemanly gun" is the sort of thing would take out for shooting driven grouse or pheasant on the moor while wearing your tweed Norfolk jacket or use for stalking red deer in the Highlands under the guidance of a ghillie.

I really dislike AK-47s, AR-15s, Glocks and all those ugly "killing guns."

I thought the point of this thread was to make fun of the people with arsenals in their basement? Or stashed under their beds...which suggests all sorts of unresolved issues from childhood and possibly a focus on the bedroom (great for loners) as opposed to the more public areas of the house (gotta deal with...people). We should be grateful, I suppose, that most heavily armed weirdos seem to keep their guns in their bedrooms, rather than in their bathrooms - do you strip down, clean and oil your gun while sitting on the shitter?
