I bet you've been just waiting for this moment, to pull that one out, haven't you?

I was a boy scout and loved The Lion King; I am always prepared.

[–] Daft_ish@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Prepared for what?

Ill understand if you dont respond.

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Everything possible and a few things that are impossible; just in case.

I was thinking more the dialog between Shenzi and Banzai.

Well I would hope I am prepared well enough to not need a pack of hyenas to accomplish my goals, and even if I did, I would very much be prepared for them to betray me, like a successful tyrannical dictator would wont to do.

And I just noticed something: that’s a white house, and the roof and upper floor has been thoroughly washed in dried blood from impaled jabronies. :(

But I'm a gunsmith, not a carpenter. You don't want me building houses. However, if you need some tips on making firearms out of things easily lifted from home depo, I'm your man.

“Alright, so get your power drill, and carefully duct tape it to the gun. That way, when you pull the trigger, you got a revolver.”

[–] Kolanaki@pawb.social 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Are you saying you can't build a gun big enough to live inside?

[–] seathru@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 2 days ago

Challenge accepted. The HOA is not going to be happy.

But a lot more stable in the long run.
