One Hundred Pushups

I took the test tonight and did 17 pushups without stopping. Let's see if this plan really works.
"If you're serious about increasing your strength, follow this six week training program and you'll soon be on your way to completing 100 consecutive push ups!"

Gun Owners are Diverse

From the Missed Connections on Craigslist:
"coal creek armory - m4m - 25

You are a really handsome guy. I thought we had a small moment when I checked out before you today and we candidly spoke about what gun i was holding. Tell me what gun it was and what stall you were in. id like to hang out sometime if your interested."

Prepping

I like her style.

China puts the US on ebay

Funny read... China puts the IS on ebay.
With no bidders in the first 24 hours on eBay, China admitted that it would be challenging to unload the US, but it still held out hope that a buyer would step forward: “We’ve got our fingers crossed for Zuckerberg.”

Being a tree-hugging hippie, I need a "green" vehicle. I want the BMW i8.
