....screaming.

The calls for help are very damaging to ZMan, there's already been an initial voice analysis that was deemed not to be his screaming

*sigh*

The nutjobs at FR and Stormfront are going to have a field day with this, if they haven't already.

Limp-bough and his sort won't be far behind.

I'm white and grew up in the Deep South--in the 60's--eating watermelon ALL THE TIME! I don't understand why this is looked at as a "black" thing. It's a SOUTHERN thing.

And I LOVE FRIED CHICKEN, since my mother cooked it regularly! (yes, my hips loved it too, so had to back off). I just don't get it.

I didn't even know they made this tea with watermelon, but now I want to try it.

Ignorance feeds this and so does hate.

During slavery plantation owners would plant a few among the crops as refreshment...Just an inexpensive little work incentive/delicacy...

(that's how my parents told it to me)

Looks like the barrel is bent upward. Is that what ZMan was packing?

Looks like it was run over by a semi...

A good choice for concealed carry, it's one of the lightest 9x19 semiautos on the market, and still holds 10 rounds.

Looks like the barrel is bent upward.

The barrel points up slightly when the slide is locked back.

I inherited by dad's service .45 and have taken it to the range on occasion. I haven't had it out in years but don't remember the barrel pointing upward like that. Unique to the make and model, perhaps...

When the slide moved forward, the back of the barrel got cammed upwards as the chamber closed, which made the barrel point straight when the side was closed. When the slide moved back, the back of the barrel cammed down a bit, so the chamber could open, causing it to point up slightly.

This literally breaks me down, every time I see that can.

I sell so many cans of Arizona Watermelon tea at the store. To a lot of kids. Telling them to be careful has taken on much more meaning for me than just "Look both ways before you cross the street".
