WTF? Shouldn't that have been Sammy Hagar's drummer?!? (Don't ask me which one is him!)

Nor did Waylon Jennings narrate it. It also didn't it freeze in the middle of the jump for a commercial break!

Anyone seen Ted?

Picked up a pristine Marlin Model 60 at the fun show this morning, $125 out the door and except for a few minor marks on the stock (which I've already fixed), it looks new. I picked up a Ruger 10/22 a few months back and I can't wait to compare them. Most of what I've read is while there are more "goodies" for the Ruger, the Marlin is a better shooting rifle. The biggest difference is that it's tube-fed, and not magazined like the 10/22; but I am keeping it stock with the iron sights as most people recommend that. Range report to follow... Cheers! M2

That site has potential! Tired Of ‘Chair Force’ Nickname, Colonel Bans Chairs

That's what a father here did--with his bare hands--after catching some piece of shit molesting his 4-yr-old daughter. And the grand jury refused to indict him! Another great reason to live in Texas!

I'm sure some of you youngsters may have never heard of him, but for those of us who did; he portrayed a quality long lost in today's society... For you young'uns, go out and see if you can find a copy of No Time For Sergeants (it's not on Netflix!). Godspeed Andy!

It's legit, so quit shitting in, on or anywhere around this thread... Get your eyes checked, over 85% of the board is female...

Sure cuts in the DoD are warranted, but not before the freeloaders. Sorry, but there's a huge difference between earned and entitled...

And that answers his question.

May they finally rest in peace...

Which only makes everyone sitting ducks in Federal facilities, as those intent on breaking the law don't give a rat's shit about "DoD policy." And, by the way, the Federal law (USC 18, Sec 930) only disallows firearms in facilities, not on base. Usually that's the commander's policy, but the US Code only doesn't allow personally-owned firearms in buildings...

If my eyes weren't going bad thanks to old age, I'd keep that negative face Suunto Core; but I think the positive face version--while not as slick looking--will be a lot easier to see... "Only 1 left in stock--order soon!"

More... And this one is really weird...

Another reason to avoid Houston... Houston Council Approves $5-Per-Head Strip Club Fee Well, that and the fact that the city has over 6,600 unprocessed evidence collection kits from sexually-based crimes. And let the jokes begin concerning the choice of words for the "head"line (STS)! Intentional? Cheers! M2

I guess you're entitled to your opinion...

Eh?

I have the Taurus PT738 TCP and it's probably the best .380 I've ever shot, but it too will be history when the XDs finally goes on sale. I also plan to part with my 9mm pistols as I prefer to have my primary and backup weapons in .45 ACP. Nothing against the 9mm or the .380 (which is just a short 9mm), I'm just old school in my beliefs that the larger the caliber, the better the wounding effect. And once the XDs becomes available I won't have a need for so many modern polymer semi-autos... Cheers! M2

You're probably right, I was just passing along the info posted with the pic. I'm not a huge follower of Hendrix, I'm more of a Pete Townshend fan myself...

To quote Rainman, "No shit." Don't let it be a distractor...

Saw this posted on a different forum, felt it was worth sharing here... Cheers! M2

Yep, that's a rare photo of Private James "Jimi" Hendrix of the 101st Airborne, playing guitar at Fort Campbell, Kentucky in 1962. That particular guitar is at the Rock n Roll Center in Seatlle. It's a purple Danelectro and was Jimi's first-ever guitar (and the one he learned how to play on). It's valued at about half a million dollars... Cheers! M2

Name the soldier playing guitar...

OK, in case anyone cares enough to be tracking the developments on this, I did return the Vector and picked up a Core All Black... But I've come to realize that the back back/light letters just doesn't cut it in lower light situations such as being indoors. That is due in part to the fact that the black/negative face on this watch reflects a lot thereby making it tougher to see the display. Also, I've learned that it also shows all the fingerprints and smudges that somehow get on the face. So then I found that Amazon.com has the Core Regular Black with the light/positive background for $190 with free shipping, so guess what I've just ordered?!? Yeah, the bezel is slightly different (the two glow-in-the-dark dots at top are missing), but for the most part I am pretty sure I will be able to glance at this watch and be able to read all the information being presented without having to squint or move the watch around. The Highgear I've been wearing for nearly seven years was the same, and I never had any issues seeing it under any conditions. I really like the Core, it's a nice watch and has some cool features (yesterday evening when a storm front rolled through the area, a weather alarm on it went off!). The compass is pretty accurate as well. I think it will hold up better than the Vector, which was a nice watch but had a bit too much plastic on it for me (especially the battery cover, which I shredded on my last two watches). It's also nice and thin, which makes wearing it under a shirt sleeve a lot easier than my old watch, which was chunky to say the least. I'm hanging on to the Core All Black until the new watch arrives, then I'll see which works better (I am pretty sure I already know, but I will still test both out) and return the other (unless I can't decide, then I'll probably keep both as they are pretty inexpensive)... Cheers! M2
