There ain't an ancient Israel, it just came into existence in the late 1940s. Did you mean Ancient Palestine?

Say what now? The Judaic tribes were separated into the kingdoms of Judah and Israel from around 930BCE until Tiglath Pileser eradicated the northern kingdom in around 750BCE. That looks pretty ancient to me!

Some of those names are a bit contrived and I'm sure it's a repost, but still pretty great!

Amen to that!

But it seems that someone here is confusing the Manger Servicing (MS) Corporation with Abraham's Palestinian Penis Lengthening Enterprise (APPLE).

Er... "Amazon" refers to a small-breasted woman.
Therefore your post is broken, anything past that point makes no sense, and the joke is unfunny.
Now go wallow in frustration that someone didn't like the text you didn't even write yourself. Or something.

Oh dear. Someone got out the wrong bed this morning! If you want to be pedantic about it 'amazon' actually means with one breast missing and derives from the legend that the tribe of fierce and magnificent women were so dedicated to the art of war that they would excise the right breast in order to prevent interference with their fighting/bow hand. No mention is made of the size of the remaining breast but, in any case, the term was never used literally and has always referred to the overall wow factor which is captured perfectly in the overall description ...'Quote: large of breast, broad of shoulder and long of leg.
A quick survey of Amazons in art (to say nothing of back episodes of Xena) will quickly demonstrate that nobody believes your 'small breasted' theory!!!!

I didn't find a "Hunter Basket" on the site, but there are several hunting themed baskets. All look tasty, but I was hoping for ammo.

Oh well...
I should shortly have plenty, since after an acquaintance gave me about 200 lbs of brass, I now have a small surplus of cases to reload. About 1000 .45cal, 9000 9mm Para, 1200 .40cal, several 100s of .30-30 and .30-06. If I can find powder and lead enough to fill those, I should be good for a little while.
I wonder if they make a Reloader Basket?

Well, I would say you're well on your way for being prepared.
Prepared for what, though, is the question!

Sand 'gators are a bigger problem here in the Mojave Desert than the government is telling people. I've seen 'em take down entire herds of burros in a single swallow, and after the wind blows the sand over the tracks, there's no sign that there was ever anything there.
Besides, there's a PIEBALDConsultant somewhere near here; I can sense it with my Jedi powers. Or maybe that's just a migraine coming on...

Wait, so a 19-year-old is trying to buy an X-Box for his 4-year-old son, and it turns out he's not particularly intelligent?
Well, that's a shock.

I have a PS2, my brother in-law gave it to us when he bought a new one. And we have a Wii that we bought used for $100 and it came with a bunch of games and a Wii fit board.
As of now they are both collecting dust.
I'm one of those guys that waits a year to buy games when I can buy them for $15 instead of $50 - $60.
