[Pnx]

I've been finding myself filled with quite a few of these lately, and I have no one to take them out on, so I figured I'd resurrect this thread for future purposes.

First one, you know that crazy girly walk where you walk/run swaying your arms about with your palms outstretched to the side. Have any of you guys ever actually known someone to walk like that? Apart from television etc, I've never seen anyone do it unless as some form of joking around.

... who would you look for if you wanted a custom built fold out fan made of... nonstandard materials? Not even sure what the proper name for those things are...

[MagmaMcFry]

Why don't you just take a standard materials fan, take out all the materials that you don't want, and replace them with materials you do want? Or do you want to have custom ribs too?

Anyone know if we have a college thread? I feel the need to rage, cry and moan about my college application process.

[Aklyon]

Theres a free college classes thread, you could borrow that if you want.

[My Name is Immaterial]

Hmm. Tempting, but I'll sit on it for a little.

Does anybody know if a shot from a BB gun will kill a squirrel?

[Squill]

I think so, depending on the gun.
I think that some guns can load pellets or BBs, and if you use pellets then definitely.

[Frumple]

... shot from a BB gun can kill a person if you hit them in the right place, enough times. As for small mammals, squirrels, birds, reptiles of varying nature, yup. Especially if you hit the right spot (like, say, the eyes) at the right angle, or put enough BBs in more or less the same place (I've killed a couple rattlesnakes over the years like that). It's not the most likely thing in the world, per se, and it's not like they're golden BBs (even if they are BBs made of gold) that kill anything they touch, but. Yeah, a small piece of hurtling metal lodging in the wrong (right?) spot can kill quite a few different things!

Wouldn't it be faster and easier to just use the gun as a club?

[Putnam]

They're usually pretty light.

Awesome, I know what I'm getting my kid brother and me for Christmas. There's like 30 miles of unbroken, publicly owned New England forest behind our house.

I thought you meant you were going to buy the forest but then I remembered the conversation.

Faster, probably. Definitely more effort, though. You can kill something that way lounging in a lawn chair or hammock. Clubbing something to death means you have to get up and swing your arm a few times and just bleeeh. Guns exist so you don't have to get up and beat something to death anymore. Plus you have to get closer and with snakes especially that's a possible issue. Better to stay back and slowly dig a hole into its brainpan via repeated projectiles to the skull.

Though yeah, as Putnam says, they're usually pretty light. Getting a good swing or two in would have a fairly good chance of damaging the weapon nearly as much as whatever you're bludgeoning.

What are some cheap and independent ways to learn

• sewing
• cooking
• painting

assuming possession of only basic kitchen instruments?
