I'll write the headline.

"Nobody hurt in burglary. Victim claims on insurance".

Not everybody has an attic to hide in.

They won the battle but lost the war.

You don't seem to understand what a "Pyrrhic victory" is.

Other "Pyrrhic victories", according to Ben Kenobi: Cannae, Agincourt, Austerlitz, Chancellorsville, Fall of France

In a civilized country citizens don't need guns to protect them from their fellow citizens.

only if there were such a place

You're here, you're a nerd yourself, QED.

I like hanging out with them, not a bad bunch of guys. The *******s here are the difficult ones. I must threaten there masculinity or somtun?

The Battle of the Alamo wasn't a Pyrrhic victory. The Mexican Army only suffered 400 to 600 casualties while completely wiping out 182 to 257 Texian rebels and capturing the fort.

Give it up! you'll never understand.

This thread is the whole reason why Texas is the laughing stock of America!

actually the envy of the other states

Keep an eye on this story, DFG. Can't shake the feeling that this kid faked the whole thing.

Indeed.

In terms of tactics. Wait till they're busy carrying the flat screen TV, sneak out and shoot them repeatedly.

[Alexander's Horse]

I reckon the kid was wanking

Now that's a terribly quaint idea. How exactly do you threaten my masculinity ? Or anyone else's for that matter ?

You missed out the Presichimp (retd.) .
