BTW, for safety concerns, would it be a good idea to ride my mountain bike with a racing helmet? (like a motorcycle helmet) I was thinking about that mountain biker who was killed by a mountian lion while riding his bike, I dunno if he had a racing helmet or not. Would you be better off with one? All I can think of as to why it's good is cause the lion can ****** with your head, literally! Bad thing though is that you lack peripheral vision IIRC.

how is a 12 year old going to "pwn" a mountain lion?

remember what you said in your post to myjaja? yeah, it still applies to you.

No I don't remember STALKER.

"Wow, if there is any poster that needs to DIAF, it's you. What a waste of time reading this thread. I'd rather read some grumblings from a myspace emo than have to suffer from another one of your threads."

I see, hmm, did someone piss in your cheerios this morning STALKER? I don't consider my self to be a very intriguing person so for you to stalk me is a bit disturbing. Do you find me attractive or something?

no, no one pissed in my cheerios, you're just an idiot who makes stupid posts. i think i'd rather read battosai's posts than yours.
not sure how i can be a stalker when you're the one posting about every little thing.
no, i don't find 12 year old little boys attractive.

So anyone with a decent memory is a STALKER now, because he remembers what you said in another thread?

BTW, you're about as likely to get attacked by a mountain lion as you are to get hit by lightning. If you're that paranoid, lock yourself indoors and keep your tinfoil hat on at all times. And there's no specific type of mountain bike 'racing' helmet. Cross country mountain bike racers use regular helmets. Downhill racers use full-face motocross-style helmets.

And to Mr. "People's replublic of Kommiefornia" -- fvck you, dipsh!t. I live in California, own a gun, and have never been a member of the communist party.

what the hell is wrong with you goku?

posting your stream-of-concsiousness is one thing, but then insulting other people because they call you on your lack of developed thought is just perplexing.

get a glue...then buy the Parkers Bros. Game and go and do that:p

Hes a STALKER because he thread craps seemingly everything I post in. Then recites things that are completely irrelevant just to be an annoying douche.

If you're seriously worried about mountain lions, I would suggest a can of mace to start (easier to aim than a pistol) and a decent pistol to finish. If the cat is close and pouncing, you would be lucky to get one shot off, and no amount of stopping power is going to help if you miss.

That .44 picture- is the last round also .44? Looks like a necked down wildcat round.

most of you are under the false impression that you will see this thing coming and be able to shoot it from a distant. Most hikers or bikers have been jumped from an ambush position. Best case scenario is that it paws you and you get away to run or bike away and you wont be able to shoot at it. If you run they think your prey, so you have to turn and fight. Large bowie knife would allow you at least a few shots in to hurt it even if its gnawing on your leg or arm. If it feels some pain it will probably find you not worth eating.

1. you're correct, they ambush you, if you're lucky you'll detect they're behind you before they attack.
2. They don't 'eat your arm or leg', they go straight for the back of the neck and head, thats what they attack.
3. A mountain lion is more closely related to your common house hold cat than a lion of africa.

You better beleive it but if they get the back of your neck your toast unless you got a buddy whose a crack shot.

My point is that when travelling in lion country carry both a side arm and a big enough knife (depending on your size and skill).
3. A mountain lion is more closely related to your common house hold cat than a lion of africa.

My point is when in lion country carry a side arm and a big knife (depending on your size and skill). Either way your more likely to scare the cat than "pwn" it.

how about one of those big fing knives that someones posted on the forum once? but frankly, i'd rather use a gun and kill the lion from afar then take the risk. a minigun should suffice! :D

Goosemolester, no matter how few screen names you own, you will still be a drain on society and this forum until you pass away or make your self unknown, like crawling into a hole and never coming out again.

:music:Walking down the street
You're the center of my universe
You got the world in your pocket,
My manhood in your purse
You ain't a bad girl, honey,
No matter what the neighbours say,
It's just that you were those skin-tight dresses
With your G-string tuned to "A"

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Heaven sent, you're an angel dressed in black,
Cool, stiletto strut, you're a drop jaw cardiac
You're the genuine, feline, prettiest girl I've ever seen,
With your thief of hearts smile
You're a certified pleasure machine

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur,
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws,
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws,
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws,
She's a heart attack

You treat me good,
Sometimes you treat me bad,
But, keep it up, honey,
You're the best time I've ever had
No matter what you put me through I must confess,
Oh, you got more style than a brand new XJS

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur,
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws,
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws,
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws,
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws,
She's a heart attack...

Walking down the street
You're the center of my universe
You got the world in your pocket,
My manhood in your purse
I know you ain't a bad girl, honey,
No matter what the neighbours say,
It's just that you were those skin-tight dresses
With your G-string tuned to "A"

Sweet, sweet, child of the street

Dressed to kill in diamonds and fur,
You get what you want
With your pussy cat purr

But, the kittens got claws,
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws,
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws,
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws,
She'll blow your stack

The kittens got claws,
She'll tear your heart out
The kittens got claws,
She'll scratch your back
The kittens got claws,
She'll tease an' please you
The kittens got claws,
She's a heart attack...

You scratch my back, baby,
An' I'll scratch yours...:music:
