Ugh. Someone delete that counting pic, please.

I've seen enough carnage first hand, thanks. Literally- my hand, my arm, my dad's hands, etc. I could see using a dummy grenade for a hammer, but a .50 round?!

I looked- even found a place to shoot. Haven't had the money. I thought I'd be ahead by now, but with the gf moving and everything else, that didn't happen. I'm just hoping this city doesn't beat my truck to death. The starter damn near fell off the other day. We went to dinner and shopping (45 minutes from home), and got all my shaggy hair trimmed down, went out to the truck and it wouldn't start- just that sickening whine when the starter bendix isn't aligning.

Had to locate an auto parts store, thinking I would walk, but finally got it started and drove the 4 miles instead. Went into an Auto Zone with absolutely worthless employees and had to find the parts myself and changed them in the parking lot. It had been making an odd noise, but I thought it was just a heat shield rattling. Turns out, the long starter bolt was gone and the short bolt was barely hanging on.

What up with the modding of the post? Whatever that pic was, it isn't going to be any worse than the one you left in.

I'd say only 1, 2, 3, and 8 are fingers... all the rest are the internal bones of the hand...the little stub between 6 and 7 looks like part of his ring finger

I was assuming that the fingers flopped over the palm.
