I think that's what Kim Jong Un tells himself. 😀



Thats your example?

Might as well agree I am right.

There is a whole nation of people that currently fear Kim and based on the news of his weapons testing and presidents unsure how to handle him I would hardly call him a powerless and unfeared person.

Kim can rightfully call himself the most feared leader in the East



Whatever you have to tell yourself. Also, giving you some goals to work towards. If you ran your regime like he does you probably wouldn't have gotten robbed.

Kim can rightfully lay claim to Most Joked about leader in the East as well.



Umm, that was my point two posts ago. More power means more ridicule.

Thanks.

P.S. I just am not evil or unscrupulous enough to get into violent behavior. Yeah maybe I wouldn't have gotten robbed or maybe I would have been robbed anyway but the thieves would be wearing cement shoes.

As I am sure we will learn at the Mob museum being feared may lessen your victimization but nothing can eliminate it.

Even Presidents can be assassinated. There is no one powerful enough to be immune to all shenanigans

I'd like info on this as well please. I would call myself a beginner, without specialty equipment... but having said that I did a 13 mile hike up a mountain in Alaska last year.....

I'm probably more concerned about the heat than anything else.

Weekend of May 11th was the agreed upon, right? Just want to double check before booking everything.

I think there would be many people that would enjoy this. I can think of 10 off the top of my head. I have yet to try it but have have been talking about getting a group together and doing it.

I have no idea what it costs. I do know there's some cheap/frugal guys that attend the SF event.

Perhaps we can get Nathan to fund it.

You see a lot of off road vehicles out at the Pioneer Saloon in Goodsprings on weekends. I understand it’s a great ride through the dessert from the area around the M. Not sure if there is a rental location near there or if they trailer them there for you.

Seems like a great ride for a good Burger and Beer.

As to the hike, I've never had to make a decision before, because nobody has wanted to go. I'm open to group suggestions on length and difficulty. However, if there is no group consensus, I suggest Kraft Mountain. It is about six miles round trip, offers light bouldering, and great views of Vegas.

We were able to rally a group at one of the meetups, but sadly it was the time that your father had just passed away. But it was a good hike with myself, rudeboyoi, one of his buddies, and another forum member I don't recall the name of...was a good time. I wish I could remember what route we did.

It's only about two miles of very flat walking to get to the last tunnel. From there, the hike is all uphill the last mile or more. The tunnel portion is a Sunday stroll, you just have to watch for bikers who think they own the trail.

Please tell them it's a very fun fairly short hike.

Regardless of what we do, can I pencil it in for Sunday? Maybe lunch after. Normally I'd suggest the Red Rock, but it will be Mother's Day and the restaurants crazy. There is a new beer & pizza place in Blue Diamond I like that I think the mother's day crowd won't know about.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I don't swing that way. I can probably hook you up tho.

p.s. I have no clue about guys, but I noticed that chicks don't wear pantyhose much anymore. Anyone else notice that?

So now that its openly known where we are having lunch is there a fear of casino execs checking us all out

A bunch of AP's all having lunch together announced openly on this forum must have a few members sweating coins

Naturally I have nothing to fear as I have masks I can wear



Lunch will only be about 8 -10 people and probably none of the aps. Dinner is a double super secret place.
Expect the worst and you will never be disappointed. I AM NOT PART OF GWAE RADIO SHOW
