I was walking back to my office from the bank and heard someone shouting my name. It was a guy who used to work for me. He seemed very happy to see me, although judging from the odor emanating from his person, I expect that his enthusiasm was enhanced by a large volume of cheap alcohol. He was one of many people I really hoped I would never see again.
He was one of two men working for me at the time who had been convicted of manslaughter (the other ex-con was LDS, and a very nice person who I would be happy to see again). He had a violent temper. One one occasion, he went berserk with a sledgehammer. He was chasing people around, swinging wildly. I started yelling at him and walked right up and got in his face. He gave me the sledgehammer and apologized. I fired him.
I really didn't want to see him again. He pointed toward my office and asked if I was still in the same office. I couldn't lie. He said he would come and visit me some time. Cant wait for that.
I guess I will go check to see that my clip is full. |

| I kept waiting for some a tie in with nudity. I've got some people I would classify as "never want to see again" but none that make me want to pack heat. Yikes. |

packin' for defensive purposes is different than doing so for offensive purposes. 'tis more noble, to say the least. but it's rather difficult to do concealed carry in the nude. There are only one or two places that a very small weapon will fit without some measure of discomfort.

You'd be amazed at what can be stashed away in those "places"! LOL! |

No matter how hard I tried I just could not stop myself from thinking it.
Two guys are walking alone a nude beach (nude of course) when shots ring out. They dive for cover and one of the men returns fire. The other guy asks him, "Where did you get the gun." to which the other guy says. "From a gun shop, where do you think."  or "Guess!"
Also I could not stop from trying to figure out "TWO" places a guy could hide a gun, I figured out where a woman could which was just way to unnerving to think about so thank for that experience, no really I will treasure that knowladge for ever. If the person has several "spare tires" on them they could hide something in them. Just another reason not to be a boarder and costoms gaurd. My brother told me some stories form a guest speaker who was a boarder gaurd and some people hide the strangest things in the strangest places.
Remember the simple things are the fundamentals of life. Choose ye your path this day. |

I love it, RWB!
And yes, indeed, the spare tire would be #2.

Couple of ideas.
First, it seems to me that all nudists would favor Open Carry over Concealed. Same principle. Willy Nelson sings a song that advocates this idea; I'll see if I can find it.
2. How about a combination towel and holster? Couple of pockets for spare clips and you're ready to roll. |

A couple of other nude carry options:
Two of these as earrings, or maybe automatics. Bling also available. Makes my NAA mini look unwieldy.
Or you could go Bruce Willis style and duct tape your carry piece to your back (I think this one's out of the question for you HairyBare - pulling your weapon might put you in shock). |

OK, this is somewhat off topic but still on the topic of people I never want to see again, but probably will. Just to warn you, this will likely be a somewhat of a rant to vent steam. So I just got back from a movie with friends, spontaneous thing, got a call asking if I wanted to come see a movie and if I did to be at the theater in under 20 minutes. The movie was irrelevant so I will not bother to tell you what it was, was not good not bad enough to rant about. So after the movie I stay for the credits just for the fun of it, family joke. As I am leaving the theater a guy stops me and tells me to put my unused popcorn in the trash, I had 3/4 of a bag left, I do not tend to eat during movies. I am also not the type of person so wast things so of course I am not going to throw my popcorn away, I bought it, it is mine to do with as I please and I please to eat it. So I ignore him and try to move past him, he moves and blocks my way and tells me to put it in the trash. I look him in the eye and kick him in the groin hard. No, I did not do that....but I wanted to. Instead I told him "No, it is my popcorn so get out of my way now." I am normally not that aggressive but he was pushing my buttons at the end of a stressful day. I poked him aside and left, however before I got ten feet he called at me and said. "I'll let you go this time but don't steal popcorn from here again." OK, now I was really tempted to turn his outy into an inny and make him sing soprano for the rest of his life, to give him three adam's apples. But I chose the high road and walked away. When I got home I ranted to my brother about it and he asked if it was a guy who looked like...... and described the same guy exactly. Last year the say guy tried the same thing on my brother and also accused him of stealing popcorn. What is wrong with that guy? What is his problem? What right does he have to accuse me or anyone of stealing popcorn. They have a sign that says you can not bring outside food of drink,including water, into the theater but saw no sign saying you can't remove your food from the theater. What does he care what happens to it after it is paid for, you would think him grateful that I did not leave it there for him to clean up, all the less work for him. OK, I am going to post a photo of him and if you ever see him you have to throw rotten tomatoes, cabbage or bricks at him.
Just joking, I am not going to post a pic of him anywhere. I will forgive him his trespass against me and forget I ever had the displeasure of meeting him and hope to not repeat the displeasure ever again.
There I am done ranting and have cooled down. You may go back to reading other stuff. |

If you didn't buy the popcorn shouldn't you get a refund for the unused portion? Tah |

| You should be nice to him, he'll most likely be a cop someday. |

Whoa-ho! You read my mind. And he'll have the full force of the law behind his bullying. A childhood friend of mine is now a lieutenant in a small town Texas police force - he was the neighborhood bully when we were kids.
My wife once asked if I could ever forgive him. I told her something like "I'd rather escort him to Hell and open the gates for him." But that's not true. I've forgiven, but that doesn't mean I have to subject myself to his idiocy ever again.
So, yes, he and his "running buddy" are those I never want to see again. |

Just a little note about someone I really hope I never run into ever not even for a fist time. My brother got home very late and told me of someone he saw on his way home. He was taking a shortcut through an ally (Yeah, I know,dark ally at night(hence dark), not a good place to be in the first place) and he said a guy came out of someones backyard and quietly latched the gate then walked toward my brother looking back. The guy made it to within ten feet of my brother he said before looking ahead and actually seeing my brother. Then my brother said the guy looked shocked/surprised and immediately turned around and walked swiftly away and back into the shadows and up to the side of a garage where he stopped and stood facing the wall but trying to discreetly look over his shoulder at my brother.
My brother said that from the moment he saw the guy he could sense a creepy vibe emanating from the guy. What was the guy thinking walking up to the side of a garage and just standing there? No, that is not suspicious at all or incredibly creepy (she said sarcastically ). So now I am a bit creeped out that there is a peeping Tom around, way to spoil a good evening bro! What is all the more creepy and worse is that my brother said he is 80% sure the backyard this guy came out of belongs so a house or Sisters in my Ward. It was dark and he is not use to seeing the back fence or the place so he said he could not tell for sure which one he came out of but he Home Taught the Sisters there for several months and the number of houses in was about right plus lets face it, a house of girls is a Peeping Tom's dream come true, so it fits. He is going to call them in the morning and tell them about the potential threat.
He said he would have done or said something then but it did not sink in until a block or so later just were the guy might have come from. He also said he will do a quick walk by their place from now on when he has to walk home that way again. Now that is a devoted Home Teacher, no longer has them on his list but still looking out for them. I am sure he would do that for anyone he knew even if he never was their HT. Have I mentioned he is a rally nice guy.
Hmmm...just had an interesting thought. If that friend of mine does come back here and reads what I wrote and figures out it is me then maybe she will also read how awesome my brother is and that I am not a freak and maybe want to join the family???  Well now he can't say I've never done anything to help him find a date. |

RWB--You are really a good sister and I hope your brother appreciates you. Did your brother say why he didn't call the cops when he saw the guy acting so strangely? They would probably step up the patrol activies in the area if they knew about him. |

When I was a student at BYU I was walking home late one evening well after dark. I was taking a standard shortcut through an alley, which of course now was dark, when to my side and only a few yards away a window suddenly lit up. Of course when everything around you is dark and there is suddenly a bright spot of light, you look. What I saw was a woman, about my age, taking off her shirt.
I had no intention of being a peeping tom, and although I can't explain why, my feet stopped moving. I didn't WANT to stop. In fact, I would have preferred to NOT have been seeing what I was seeing, mostly out of fear that someone would see me seeing and get me in trouble. I watched with shock as the girl reached behind her to take off her bra, and in all honesty I said to myself, "I can't be here! MOVE!" But I didn't move.
All of a sudden, and before she undid her bra, it either dawned on her that she was stripping in front of a dark window in a well lit room, or, she was suddenly over come with the creepy "somebody is watching me" feeling. Either way, she suddenly lunged for the window and yanked her curtains shut, once again plunging me into darkness.
I have always wondered why my feet suddenly came to that involuntary, grinding halt. And why they didn't start walking again when I told them to. She was a very attractive girl, and I wonder if I would have responded the same way if she hadn't been.
And I also bet that, if she had known who I was, I would have been on her "I don't ever want to see him again" list. |
