In loving memory of Cy, 11-15-2009

It is with great sadness that I tell you I lost my best furry friend in the whole world on 11-15-09.

My wife and I were grocery shopping, and gone for only about 1 1/2 hours and returned to my beloved "Puppy Cy" passed away on the family room floor. Cause of death unknown , but we can assume a heart attack. He was diagnosed with a heart murmur, his only medical flaw.

I don't want to go into saying much more, because as I write this my heart is breaking. My wife wrote a beautiful tribute to him on the RAGOM (Retrieve A Golden Of Minnesota) Website on their Rainbow Bridge Memorials.

Here is the link to: Cy's Memorial

The first part is his story, which goes through 12-07-08, the day we adopted him.

12-09-09 is where the memorial starts.

He was the best dog. I miss him dearly.

Guys, please consider the following and remember this piece of wisdom.

If after a long day, you are tired and looking forward to seeing your woman.

No matter how beautiful she is.....

No matter how sexy she is...

No matter how seductive she is...

No matter how cute and sweet she is...

No matter how huge her melons are......................

Shit, I forgot what I was going to say.

Sons Of Anarchy Season 2 episode 12 review

Episode 12 starts out a little something like this....

The Son's, friends, and family of the Son's are all packing up and heading to the Clubhouse to take shelter. Looks like there is some serious shit going to be happening soon. They lock the gates and have armed guards on the rooftops.

The Club talks about protecting Chib's family. They say they will protect Keri-ann, and that he should reach out to Fiona and try to get her in as a precaution.

They talk about convincing Jimmy that Cameron and Edmund have been under the ATF's thumb, it should be enough to convince the IRA the betrayal is in house. They are going to pull the old bait and switch to get their guns. (Later on in the episode, they successfully pull it off too. This REALLY pisses off the Feds., especially Stahl.) They discuss patching in Half Sack. Clay says, "Half a sack, Shitload of Balls".

Jax, Opie and Juice pay a visit to A.J. Weston. Jax tells him "Seems your great white hope only gives a shit about one color.... Green. Zobel is dealing heroine with the Myans." Opie tells him, "Those A.K.'s that you took from us, He gave em to brown. Control the street." A.J. says, "You're talking out of your ass." Jax tells him, "I followed Zobel and one of his guys. They met with Alvarez. Left with a duffle full of heroine." Juice jumps in and says, "Guess they ben keeping you outa the loop. Lotsa private meetings A.J." Jax says, "You being the true believer and all.

Chib's and Fiona have a private meeting in a bathroom. Chibs informs her that the Feds will be closing in on Jimmy, and it may blow back. Fiona asks him if he ratted, and he says no. They makeout and the scene cuts. We never know for sure if they do it or not, you are just left wonderin.

Polly Zobelle pays a visit to Edmund Hayes. They of course get it on. She leaves. The Feds are watching the place and come in to pay a visit to Edmund after she is gone.

Gemma and Tara are talking in the clubhouse. A chick comes up to fill her coffe. Tara said she could get it herself. Gemma said she needs to take that respect. She's earned it. She is not just some CROW eater. She is Jax Teller's Ol' Lady. That means something in this town and this clubhouse, and you don't take shit from anyone.

SAMCRO has a meeting with Henri Lin (Chineese Triad) and Laroy (One-Niners) to make a deal that they all work together; not a partnership but an understanding. They stop Zobelle, then the Myan's loose their guns and their power. Zobelle's been running on the hard earned drug money of theirs, so they will all work together to take back what's theirs, with a little extra. Take out the Myan's and split up their territory. Triad gets everything south of Ghost Town and One-Niners get everything North. Friendly borders means they can focus on business, instead of staying alive. "Agreed".

A.J. Weston walks into the warehouse. See's guns in a crate open, with a bunch missing. Walks around the corner to see a couple of Mexican women bagging heroin and blows the two of them away. Sees one of his own guys, Ule from the League Of American Nationalists (L.O.A.N.) and points the gun at him. Ule says, "This is sanctioned. Zobelle knows all about this I swear." A.J. says, "Where are the guns?", and Ule replies, "The Mexicans. Don't be...." (KAPOW! Shot to the head).....Game over!

Good O'l Chuckie is still around. He tells thee club that he could identify Weston as one of the perps involved in the Arson of Cara Cara.

A.J. Storms in on the Cigar shop while Ethan Zobelle and his daughter Polly Zobelle are talking. A.J.'s pointing his gun at Ethan and confronts him. They argue about the cause, and the big picture, and being a trader. Eventually A.J. and gang leave. Ethan tells Polly to call Hale for protection as someone has threatened their lives. Ethan is going to secure new protection. He kisses Polly godbye. It was really GROSS! Like lover's kiss. Eew.

Cliffy and Duke, A.J. Weston's two boys are being taken away from A.J. for now because they were home alone unsupervised with the guns. This was set up by Jax to piss off A.J. Jax and A.J. have a stand down in the street about this and this is when Jax sets up the fight between Son's and the L.O.A.N.

Chuckie talks to the Charming P.D. and tells them about A.J. Weston being involved in the Cara Cara Arson case.

Gemma and Tara talk. Gemma is a little more at peace now. She knows what her job here on earth is. God want's her to be a fierce mother; that's her path. She tells Tara her job is medicine, to be a healer; and nothing should ever stop her from doing that. Wait'll you get a load of what Tara does with that piece of information after she chews on it for a while.

Tara is sitting at a desk completing her charts and explaining this to the administrator, Margaret Murphy. Margaret tells her she should have had them done already. Tara says she knows. The bitch says that she may not have to worry about paperwork after next week. Tara says some shit to her and verbally nails her. After Margaret retorts with a comment about Tara's true colors and "her biker whore (Gemma) that she ......." Then Tara snaps, and gets up to choke her. She say's, "You don't know her, You don't know any of them." and releases the choke hold. Margaret says, "Oh, my gosh! You hit me. You are finished. I'm calling security. This is assault."

Tara shoves her backwards slamming her into a wall shelf unit, and proceeds to say, "No... (PUNCH TO THE FACE), That's assault". Then Tara proceeds to tell her that SAMCRO has Charming PD on payroll and she knows where she lives. If she doesn't drop this bogus charge on her she is gonna come after her and her family. (Holly shit was I pumped after that. I think I have rewound that seen at least 6 times now. Can't get enough. Go Tara!)

The club goes out and has their fight. This was supposed to be an unarmed fight. Of course as expected, The L.O.A.N show up armed. The Son's have Backup too. The Triad and the One-Niners are both backing them fully armed. They agree to fight no guns. The cops show up. People scootin every which way trying to get out.

A.J. gets arrested for Arson. The rest leave.

Unser relieves the other two cops who were watching Impeccable Smokes. SAMCRO shows up too. They have Ethan Zobelle at gunpoint when Hale shows up. Unser is about to let what happens happen, but Hale isn't about to let it be that way. Ethan saves his own ass with his daughter by admitting that they have heroine behind the counter. The cops find it and Ethan demands that they be arrested. Charming P.D. abide to the arrest request. On the way out, Jax tells Ethan, "We're gonna kill you."

The show fades out to the music "If someday never comes......"

Wow, oh Fucking Wow!

Season 2, Episode 13 Season Finale review coming up next!

TOOLS EXPLAINED

At lot of bikers, biker's spouses, significant others are handy, or know someone who is, or at least thinks they are, therefore we can all relate to some of these. Some of us maybe more than others. (You know who you are.) Enjoy!

DRILL PRESS:
A tall upright machine useful for suddenly snatching flat metal bar stock out of your hands so that it smacks you in the chest and flings your beer across the room, denting the freshly-painted project which you had carefully set in the corner where nothing could get to it.

WIRE WHEEL:
Cleans paint off bolts and then throws them somewhere under the workbench with the speed of light. Also removes fingerprints and hard-earned calluses from fingers in about the time it takes you to say, "Oh, shit!"

BELT SANDER:
An electric sanding tool commonly used to convert minor touch-up jobs into major refinishing jobs.

HACKSAW:
One of a family of cutting tools built on the Ouija board principle... It transforms human energy into a crooked, unpredictable motion, and the more you attempt to influence its course, the more dismal your future becomes.

VISE-GRIPS:
Generally used after pliers to completely round off bolt heads. If nothing else is available, they can also be used to transfer intense welding heat to the palm of your hand.

OXYACETYLENE TORCH:

TWO-TON ENGINE HOIST:
A tool for testing the maximum tensile strength of everything you forgot to disconnect.

HOSE CUTTER:
A tool used to make hoses too short.

HAMMER: That BMF
Originally employed as a weapon of war, the hammer nowadays is used as a kind of divining rod to locate the most expensive parts adjacent the object we are trying to hit.

UTILITY KNIFE:
Used to open and slice through the contents of cardboard cartons delivered to your front door; works particularly well on contents such as seats, vinyl records, liquids in plastic bottles, collector magazines, refund checks, and rubber or plastic parts. Especially useful for slicing work clothes, but only while in use.

Son of a bitch TOOL:
Any handy tool that you grab and throw across the garage while yelling "Son of a bitch" at the top of your lungs. It is also, most often, the next tool that you will need.

Author unknown

Who is Ethan Zobel's Daughter you ask?

Photo above was obviously borrowed from LIFE Magazine.

I've gotten a lot of questions from readers as to who is Ethan Zobel's daughter Polly Zobel played by?

For those of you who want to know, she is Sara Jones.

Now stop gawking and get back to work!

B.T.W. Proper spelling is Zobelle., but most questions have come with spelling of Zobel, so that's how I posted this one.

Sons Of Anarchy Season 2 episode 11 (proper) review

Back by request.... (Thank you Marie), I am doing a proper review on Episode 11 from Season 2, and will get to the remaining episodes of the season after this one.

We start off the show with Tara and Jax talking while Jax is sittin at the table sewing his Redwood Original charter patches back on to his cut. Tara apologizes to Jax for not saying anything to him about what happened to Gemma. Jax tells her that she did the right thing.

Clay stops by Jax and Tara's place. Clay apologizes to Jax, and Jax returns the apology. Clay tells Jax that he can't do this on his own. Jax tells him that he ain't going anywhere. Clay asks Jax, "How do you want to handle it?" and Jax replies, "We Kill em all."

In the Clubhouse, the crew talks about Jax not going Nomad, and then talk about what happened to Gemma. The club instantly starts talking about getting bloody and cutting off heads. Jax interrupts this violent revenge talk and says that they got to find a weakness and unravel them. Clay orders the club to swallow the urge to kill Zobel or any of his crew if they see them on the streets until they come up with a proper plan.

Gemma confesses to Tara that she is worried that Clay won't want her anymore after the rape since she has been "violated".

Tara comes clean about her suspension at the hospital and the hearing coming up. Jax supports her and tells her that they'll get through it. She then unloads on Jax that she couldn't handle it if he was sleeping with anyone else and that she needs to know that this relationship is going somewhere more than just playing house. She wants a baby, maybe two. Jax assures her the relationship is going somewhere. That what ever it is, he wouldn't have told her what he has if it wasn't.

With Gemma feeling sorry for herself, thinking Clay won't want her anymore, she kind of leads Tig on. They almost get it on...but not. Tig gets his head on straight and stops. He says, "What are we doing?, What are we doing?"

In a round about way, Tig confesses to Opie in the club parking lot what happened to Donna. He tells him Donna wasn't supposed to be in the truck, and that Agent Stahl was the one who really killed Donna due to the set up. Opie beats the shit out of Tig, and he takes it like a man. Then Opie takes off after Stahl. All the while the club is watching this unravel, and is shocked at what they have just heard and witnessed. Oh boy, If looks could kill, Piney and Bobby would have killed Clay with the looks they gave him.

Opie finds FBI Agent Stahl, and threatens her; makes her feel what he is feeling; pretty much makes he whimper into a little puddle quivering and sobbing crouched down low by her car. He doesn't shoot her, but tells her(not exact words)... that she needs to remember, the outlaw showed mercy, and she needs to remember that the next time she tries to set someone up.

Because Unser is planning on helping the Son's, he tells Hale to consider himself acting Chief.

The Club agrees to keep Donna's cause of death a secret.

Half Sack shows his incredibly infected nut to a few, including Tara. She tells him he needs to go to the E.R. immediately.

A.J. Weston get shut out of a "meeting" that Zobel is leading. Hmmmm, Wonder what they are holding back on him? Maybe the fact that they are dealing guns to brown?

Because the Chinese connection isn't happening, The Son's are too short on A.K.'s for getting revenge on Zobel and crew, so they gather up all of their own personal stock in guns, only to realize they haven't got a chance with the small amount they have and with lack of automatics. Thus, Clay feels they will all have to swallow their pride (mostly Chibs), for the sake of Gemma's revenge, and repair their relationship with the Irish. And they do.

Opie spots Chibs with the FBI while he was out earlier trying to locate Agent Stahl.

Zobel makes a deal with Myans leader Alvarez to deal his heroine in prison for a 50/50 proffit cut.

Opie and Jax talk about what to do about Opie staying in the club and sharing a patch with Clay and Tig, the two Brothers who killed his wife. Jax tells Opie that burden falls on the Club, not them. He said that Clay is who he is because the club made him. Opie asks Jax, "How do we undo him?" Jax says, "I been trying to figure that out, but can't do it on my own. I need you Bro." Opie replies, "I'm here man." Then they embrace each other in a Brotherly hug. Then Jax tells Opie he has something he wants him to read. Its John Teller's book, which we later on see Opie reading on the rooftop.

Opie decides he is going to stay in the Club and the truth about Donna dies here. He also tells the club about him seeing Chibs with the FBI, and that he will have to tell his side of the story and that the club needs to hear him out and trust what he has to say.

The Club has another meeting. Jax says, "Zobel's in bed with the Myans. Alvarez's only commodity is heroine." Juice asks. "What would Zobel want with heroine?" To which Jax replies, "It's the missing piece. This was never about a race war. Guns are about controlling the H traffic. Feed the Myans weapons so white can control the heroine trade." Bobby asks, "Hows that work? Weston and his guys are hardcore color haters." Jax says, "That's why Weston wasn't at the heroine deal." Clay says in question, "So, Zobel's doing all this behind his lieutenant's back?" Jax says, "Judas." Clay says, "Sounds like something we can unravel."

Just then Chibs walks into the meeting; tells about his meeting with the FBI, but says he didn't make the deal. Then Piney bursts into the meeting and tries to blow Clay's skull off his shoulders. He misses, and is taken control of. Opie ultimately gets them all to make peace.

Tig tells Clay that Gemma is worried that Clay won't want her anymore since she has been violated. Clay and Gemma get it on at the end the episode.

Till next time. See you soon.........

sons Of Anarchy Season 2 episode 11 review

Last weeks episode was absolutely kick ass! I can't say enough about how much action they packed in and what was revealed. I was out of town and am far behind on posting so I'm not going to go into every little last detail about this one like I have in the past. Besides, only got two comments on the last review, so I'm guessing the posts reviews are getting too long to read.

Can you believe that Opie now knows? Wholly shit.

Can't believe he stayed in the club. Poor Tigger. He took his beating like a man, full knowing he deserved it. He's lucky Ope didn't kill him. I can't believe the club is accepting of all the shit going down.

Wow. is all I have to say.

Can't wait till the next one. Till then.....

more stupid shit seen on the road.

Driving behind this, I felt kind of insulted.

"Hey, Who you calling a bimbo?"

Sons Of Anarchy Season 2 episode 10 (90 minute special) review

Looks like Jax is really going to go through with going Nomad. Clay said he didn't strike a match.

Jax is going to go through with it anyway. Jax finds Piney, and tells him of his plans. Jax said if he stays in the club around Clay one of them is going to wind up dead. Piney says, "and we both know who that should be."

Chibs is freed from the hospital, and finds out about what has been going on in the MC world while he's been on his hospital hiatus. He's in the van talking to Half Sack when he finds out about Cara Cara being burned, and about Jax going Nomad. He makes Half Sack take him to see the IRA. He makes threats, and runs into Jimmy O. Jax comes in, and they get out. Too bad the place is bugged, and FBI agent Stahl is listening in on the conversation. She now has proof that they are tied in to the IRA.

Stahl is waiting for Jax sitting in his house to pay a suprise visit. She confronts him and his reasoning for leaving S.A.M.C.R.O. Tara catches wind of this and is a bit pissed, but more hurt that Jax was making this decision without talking to her about it. Regardless, Jax isn't changing his mind. Stahl makes threats to Jax that if he doesn't give her some information on the Irish that she will come after him. For now S.A.M.C.R.O. and Jax are living in grace.

The Sons stumble across an amo making Indian Tribe as a result of a Repo they did. The vehicle is loaded with cases of home made ammo. Looks like SAMCRO will be adding to the list of what they will be dealing.

Jemma talks to Tara about how bad of an idea it is for Jax to go Nomad.

Chibs is confronted by the Feds to make some deals. Being He is a true line to Jimmy O'fallon, He is a prime candidate for the deal making needed by Stahl.

We learn about Chibs history with Jimmy O. He excommunicated him from the IRA and took his wife and daughter. Left him with his face scar as a reminder. Chibs has had to swallow a lot of pride to deal guns as a member of SOA whom is using the IRA as a pipeline to get the guns.

Jax tells Gemma about going Nomad. They talk. Gemma tells him how bad of an idea it is. Tells Jax that she doesn't think his father's death was an accident. She said that she thinks He hated his life, and let the road take it. She told him to read page 449. (Which is revealed later to talk about John Teller's struggle in his own mind if he should go Nomad).

Chibs has a meeting with Jimmy O. Jimmy O has a lot of balls and is truly a wicked fucker. Chibs said he doesn't need to help him. Jimmy say to Chibs, "Yeah you do, I banished you, I took what's yours. These are the facts. You'll do as I say." Chibs replies, "Go to Hell Jimmy." Through conversation we find out just how much of a scum bag Jimmy is. He makes sexual comments about Chib's daughter. Ultimately, to keep his daughter Cari-Ann and his wife Fiona safe, Chibs is forced to help restore the relationship of the IRA and the Sons.

Bobby tells Jax he doesn't think Clay had anything to do with Cara Cara burning.

Tara gets suspended. She got busted for keeping Chibs in the hospital with fake symptoms.

Bobby and Jax visit Juice in the hospital. Talk about Jax wanting to transfer. Informing about needing Juice to proxy his vote.

The Sons do end up making a deal with the Indian tribe. They are going to make ammo for the Sons. As part of the deal, They end up dealing some psychedelic mushrooms. To make sure they are any good. Clay has Half Sack and Tig try them out. They get truly fucked up. This is some hilarious shit. While Clay is trying to show the One Niners how good the shrooms are because they will be dealing them, they see Half Sack sitting with his legs in a mud pit. He says, "It's cool and warm at the same time. It's cwoorm." He has this stupid shit eating grin on his face and he starts singing cwoorm. Then we see Tig looking at the Indian souvenirs totally vegging the fuck out. I literally laughed my ass off. Seriously. I have no ass anymore. LOL!

Opie and Lila get it on. Did you know Opie actually has hair under that stupid hat of his?

Unser convinces Jax that it had to be a crew that torched Cara Cara. Couldn't have been just one guy. Not Clay. Jax talks to Clay and apologizes about accusing him for it. He asks Clay if he still wants him gone. He says, "Yes."

Gemma sees the conversation between Clay and Jax, but did not hear it. She walks out and talks to Unser who is walking by. She asks him to help protect the club.

The Club reluctantly votes a unanimous Yay to release Jax from the Redwood Charter, and allows him to go to the Nomad Charter. Jax takes off his cut and puts it on the table, and cuts off his charter patches right there and tosses them on the table right at Clay. Jax looks really pissed off and really hurt all at the same time, like he might cry.

Based on a tip that Chibs gave the Feds, they go on in and do some serious harassing of the IRA

Young one. Make some threats, a little black male, and get him to be a rat.

Gemma gets Jax, Tara, and Clay together with her. To help keep them together, She tells Clay and Jax what happened to her, that there was no car accident, that she was gang raped by Zobel's crew. While she is telling the story, we see all kinds of screen shots of all the different SOA crew and cops doing different things. They show Halfsack still sitting in the mud pit now naked pleasuring himself, and they show Tig still there, crying and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." After Gemma is done telling the whole story, Clay embraces her and Jax and Tara get up to leave. Jax picks up his charter patches on the way out.

After watching this one, I thought this episode was the best one yet. But as you know, I was already an episode behind. I've already seen, as I'm sure many of you have episode 11 of season two. I think that even tops this one. If you haven't caught it yet, Hang on to your seat. It's a Hell of a ride!

Next Post of the last show Season 2 episode 11 coming soon.

Long rides can make you think of some pretty CORNY things.

Cruising down the road the other day, (It was a long ride), my mind started to drift. Looking at corn fields didn't help me keep my mind where it needed to be either. (On the road.)

You know in the corn fields how they always have those herbicide and seed signs like , Pioneer, Dekalb, Asgrow, Etc. Well, I saw some of them thar signs just like it.

Well, you know what they say; "All corn's good fer is fattenin up the pigs."

So as I'm cruising it dawns on me; If you eat too much corn on "DEKALB"........

it'll only make your "ASGROW" bigger?

Just a twisted thought I had.

Son's Of Anarchy Season 2 episode 9 review

Clay tries to get Opie into the club deeper. The deeper in he gets, the less of a threat he will be, when and if he finds out that Clay had Tig try to execute him, and instead killed Donna.

Clay tries to shut down Cara Cara without a Club vote. Ain't gonna happen.

Him and Bobby are talking about it, and Bobby says Jax will make it go to a vote. Clay tells Bobby he doesn't give a shit about what Jax wants. "He'll handle the little prince."

Gemma finds religion.

Opie and Lila get a little closer. There's real kissing. Eeew.

A couple of the Cara Cara girls get picked up for prostitution. It was a set up. No one knows for sure whodunit.

Jax and Clay argue about Cara Cara. It turns into a verbal fight in front of the whole club house.

The exchange went like this....

Clay: "You had your little romp as porn king. You tied us to prostitution. You got one of our members Old Lady killed."

Jax: "You are really gonna stand there and lay the guilt of a dead wife on me?"

Clay: "You remember that promise I made?"

Jax pulls out his gun, cocks it, and says, "Let me make it easy for ya." & then lays it on the table in front of Clay. He opens up his club vest like her I am man. Just do it; then turns his back to Clay and holds his arms out wide like here's your shot . Of course Clay does not shoot Jax. Then Jax says, "You need a majority vote to shut down Cara Cara. We put it out at church tomorrow night." Then he walks outside, sits and has a smoke. Bobby follows Jax shortly after he walked out. He asks Jax what that dead wife shit was about. Jax tries to cover it up as best as possible with a bullshit answer. He said it was all about Luanne getting killed. Bobby confides in Jax, and tells him that he was banging Luanne. Me thinks that Bobby is catching on.

Hale gives Clay the address of where Darby is cooking crank and runnin prostitution.

I guess the guys did not really expect the old judge to be so strong willed, and surely didn't see the possibility that the judge didn't really give a rat's ass about his son either. So much for emotional leverage eh? Luckily they find pictures of the judges wife & her shrine of a bedroom They threaten to destroy it as leverage.

Darby wants revenge on SAMCRO for blowing up the meth lab. He talks to Zobel.

A.J. Weston and crew take Darby with to SAMCRO's porn studio and torch the place. Darby gets taken out just prior to torching it, and we can also assume that Chuckie might still have been in there too.

Jax is convinced that Clay had everything to do with torching the porn studio. He looks really really pisssed. He says to the guys, "This was Clay. Couldn't let me have it. Talk to Quin. Tell him I wanna transfer. I'm going Nomad."

Thus ends another kick ass episode of what is in my opinion, one of the greatest shows on air right now.

Can't wait till Tuesday night!

Here Kitty Kitty!

While doing an appraisal today, the owner's kitty decided to follow me up the ladder onto the roof. When the cat realized I saw it, he turned around and went back down the ladder head first!

I called the cat back up, and it came right back up onto the roof. When it was time to get down, instead of taking the ladder, he just jumped right off of the roof like it was nothing!

Cats can be quite amazing, and quite amusing!

Son's Of Anarchy Season 2 episode 8 review

*Tara kicks this episode off by putting down John Teller's book on the table in front of Jax. She says, "I finished it." Jax says, "What do you want me to say? " Tara replies, "You keep saying you want to change things, but you keep repeating old behavior. You can't have it both ways." Jax asks Tara, "Is there anything you love so much you'd protect it no matter what the cost; or the damage it did to you?" Tara replies, Yeah, the child." Jax said, "That's how I feel about this club. Since I was five Tara, all I ever wanted was a Harley and a cut. Now look, change wont happen quick, or without blood; but it'll happen. It has to."

*Gemma decides she needs to have a "Family" dinner to try to hold the club together. It's what the "family" needs right now.

*Bobby starts talking to some of the guys about what Clay and Jax are fighting about. Bobby mentions he thinks it might be something about Donna. Tig says it ain't that. Opie says he'll talk to Jax about it. The conversation breaks up when Jax walks into the room.

*Elliot talks to Clay about protecting the town against Jacob Hale and his plans to take over the town. Elliot as much as Clay and the rest of SAMCRO want Charming to stay the way it is without new real estate development coming in. In exchange for SAMCRO's influence, Elliot will give a small piece of land to SAMCRO to use for what we can only assume, gun trade.

*A pretty funny moment happens when some of the guys are at the porn studio talking about going to Gemma's dinner. None of this is exact words exchanged here, but the general ideas is covered.... Opie mentions he want's to take Lila with. Jax says Gemma won't mind. They ask if he's "hittin it". He says no, and mentions that she's been a lot of help with his kids. Bobby says, You gotta hit that. She is a porn star. They guys ask Bobby, "What do you know about hitting porn stars?" They totally raz Bobby, and the stuttering and fumbling over his words was truly hilarious! Of course Bobby has never told any of the guys about him and Luanne.

*The porn studio gets broken in to. They stole the H.D. Camera and Luanne's laptop that had 3 rough cuts on it. The guard dog was also killed. In the guard dog's blood on the door was written, "dead bitch". They know it was Georgy, and Jax takes the lead with some of the guys and goes to seek revenge.

*Clay and crew meet with one of the Chinese, Lin, because he wants A.K.'s and will pay double for as many as SAMCRO can get. Remember Chuck? He's the guy who had an OCD jerk off problem? As a show of good faith Lin wants to give (the master baiter) back to SAMCRO. They "whacked off" all but his two pointer fingers. "If you can't grab it, you can't pull it." Reluctantly, SAMCRO leaves with Chuck. He can do some accounting. You only need two fingers for the calculator.

*Chib's "WIFE" shows up at the hospital. What kind of shitstorm will this bring?

*Clay and crew surprise visit the young Irishman's house. They ask where the Russian A.K.'s are. He says they were sold. SAMCRO leaves. They put Kip on first watch. They will find and get their guns.

*Gemma and Tara are in the hospital. Shortly after Gemma explains some history about Chibs' wife to Tara, Gemma asks Tara about how Chibs' insurance is holding out. Tara say's it's gone and he will have to finish his healing at another hospital. Gemma says, "That can't happen. Chibs and his wife have to stay in their sights". Tara says, "You see that redhead? That's Margaret Murphy, Chief Administrator. She's been up my ass about the club. I try anything, She'll be all over it. Can't happen." Margaret Murphy gets on the elevator, and Gemma hops in for the ride down as well. From the smirk on Gemma's face, you know she is going to start something.

*Tig and Clay talk. There is an interesting dynamic between these two. All along, we think of them as being kind of buddy buddy, but it's almost more of a father son thing; more of a doubtful that the son has the balls to do anything when needed, and disappointed father son kind of thing. Clay is doubting that Tig is the same guy he was before the whole Donna incident. Clay thinks Tig wont have enough balls to do what it takes to make a hard call anymore.

*While Jax and crew are going in to talk to Leroy from the One Niners, Clay and crew are trying to take guns back from the Irish and A.J. Weston. They Mayan's are at the One Niners club and a shit storm happens there. They almost get killed. This hold up is why they weren't able to answer their cell phones from Clay's calls to help get the guns back. With some fancy talking, they get out by the skin of their teeth. Any love between SAMCRO and the Mayans is dead. In the meantime, Clay and crew, while attempting to get the guns have really bad timing. Just as they start a gun fight to take the A.K.'s, more people show up to start in on the gun fight. SAMCRO makes it out with just a few of the A.K.'s.

*People are gathered at Gemma's for dinner. Tara confronts Gemma with a piece of paper. She say's what did you do? Did you threaten her? No, I just had a chat. The piece of paper was a hostile work environment claim filed against her and her proxy, filed by Margaret Murphy. Tara could loose her job over this. Tara shows that she is really really pissed off. Just then Tara turns to see Lila. And out comes some of the best lines I've ever hear in my entire life. "Perfect, Serving hand jobs for desert?" Then Tara talks to Jax. He asks her to ease up a bit on Lila. She says, "I know, She is just doing her best. Trust me, I keep hanging out with this family, I may be sucking cock to pay my bills to."

*Remember when Jax and company got revenge on Georgy? Just as the arguments are getting good, Hale walks in and they all shut up. He apologizes for interrupting. He informs them that they just found Luanne off of county 18 beaten to death. Clay asks Jax, "Did you cause this? Pay Back?" Then a huge fight explodes. Even a Comment about killing Donna is tossed in by Jax. Gemma silences everyone by slamming the dinner platter onto the table smashing it into bits. She is shaking. The episode ends here.

HOLY SHITake mushrooms, I did not know one could pack so much into one episode. They never cease to amaze me. Can't wait till tonight!

Good God! Joke. The Harley Davidson Facts...

                                The Harley-Davidson Facts                                  

The inventor of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle, Arthur Davidson , died and went to heaven.

At the gates, St. Peter told Arthur, 'Since you've been such a good man and your motorcycles have changed the world, your reward is, you can hang out with anyone you want to in heaven.'  Arthur thought about it for a minute and then said, ' I want to hang out with God.'  St. Peter took Arthur to the Throne room, and introduced him to God.  God recognized Arthur and commented, 'Okay, so you were the one who invented the Harley-Davidson motorcycle?' 

Arthur said, 'Yeah, that's me...'

God commented: 'Well, what's the big deal in inventing something that's pretty unstable, makes noise and pollution and can't run without a road?'  Arthur was a bit embarrassed, but finally spoke, 'Excuse me, but aren't you the inventor of woman?'  God said, 'Ah, yes.'  'Well,' said Arthur, 'professional to professional, you have some major design flaws in your invention!

1. There's too much inconsistency in the front-end suspension.

2. It chatters constantly at high speeds.

3. Most rear ends are too soft and wobble about too much.

4. The intake is placed way too close to the exhaust.

5. The maintenance costs are outrageous!!!!

'Hmmmmm, you may have some good points there,' replied God, 'hold on.'

God went to his Celestial supercomputer, typed in a few words and waited for the results. The computer printed out a slip of paper and God read it.  'Well, it may be true that my invention is flawed,' God said to Arthur, 'but according to these numbers, more men are riding my invention than yours'.

son's Of Anarchy Season 2 episode 7 review

• This episode started out with SAMCRO members in prison. Jax says, "The Ariens put out the word. Us white boys are on our own". Without any protection in the big house, the club is in danger of being killed 1 by 1. Clay tries to buy some protection from the One Niners. Clay asks, "If we do this, Black got our back?" The reply was, "When they are both delivered, Harley's gettin all kinds of love from the Fat Man". The Club is to deliver a snitch which was successful, but ultimately got Juice stabbed. (By the way, he lives.) They are also to set up a prostitute, which Opie does successfully from the outside, but this ends up in Trammel getting shot by the prostitue. He says, " I guess she didn't want to be set up."

• Agent Stahl shows her face up again. She tries to work some angles by saying she has no intent of creating any collateral damage in Charming. She is playing the side of the "good" FBI agent by trying to get down to the bottom of the Irish and Zobel.

• Opie's Ma drops the kids off with him. She says she is going up north to see Piney. She packed up all her stuff. She ain't coming back. Opie says she couldn't be a Mom 20 years ago, and she can't be one now.

• Gemma talks to Elliot, and convinces him to post bail for the club. He puts his property up for collateral. $300 against $3 Mill.

• Opie does a little confiding in the porsnstar Lila. Actually agrees to let her take his kids for a while. When she comes to get them, Gemma and Tara won't let her. The verbal exchange of insults between Tara and Lila is pretty funny.

• Bobby tells Jax that it falls in him to squash what ever it is between him and Clay. Jax asks why he should. Bobby tells Jax, "Because Clay is old and mean & He is never going to admit he is wrong & He's earned that." Jax says, "Nah man, time don't mean shit." Bobby says, "I'm doin the best I can to hold us together, but if this split gets any worse, I'm gonna hafta pick a corner. You know this club needs a healing Brother, and you got to be the one to deliver it."

• Jax and Clay get questioned while in prison by FBI Agent Stahl. The questioning is individual and private. She tries to play them against each other. Clay gets questioned first. She shows him a picture of the Irish and Zobel making a deal. She says she will make things go back to normal if he will give her information on the Irish. She says she is only interested in catching the Irish, not SAMCRO. Clay doesn't buy her line, and says he knows nothing about the Irish. Before questioning Jax, there is a HUGE BRAWL between Clay and Jax. The club and the rest of the inmates, let the brawl go on. They both mutually kick the shit out of each other. Then it's Jax's turn for questioning. Same thing happens with him. Jax doesn't bite either. He tells her that she took a huge risk asking them for information on the Irish. He said that because of this he knows she ain't got shit on SAMCRO. Then Agent Stahl, tells them they are free to go. Bail was already posted.

• The boys return from prison. Gemma and Tara are at the clubhouse parking lot when they roll in. They all but Jax go in the one clubhouse main door, and Jax in another. No one speaks a word. Gemma and Tara truly look stumped, like WTF was that all about?

• Thus ends another fantastic episode. I can't wait to see how they will top this one. We'll see soon!
