Forty Rod SASS 3935

Now, there's name from the middle of the last century.

Saw that happen in a Marine Corps mess hall. The idiot spent three or four days in the hospital, got a Court Martial for breaking rules and having a non-allowed lethal weapon, lost one rank, and was transferred to some place so far away they got sunshine two days late.

I raised beagles and the sign should read "pastrami IN a beagle. " They will eat anything that they can break or chew into bite-size pieces and can't outrun them.

I don't know but a few of thesefolks. Willies Nelson isn't a great singer, but he writes great music and puts on a fantastic show. Johnny Cash was a moderately good singer and a marvelous showman.

And without music so loud you can't hear the singers and it makes your teeth ache.

I don't much care what secret messages are in there, I just enjoy the movie a lot. Watched it for the unpteenth time a couple of months ago. Another WWII movie with Lee Marvin is Heaven Knows Mr. Allison, and one more that I like a lot is Mother Goose with Cary Grant.

I won't pay what they ask for their pre-cooked. I get the old fashioned cook it yourself kind for about half the price of the precooked stuff. It's one of my few self-indulgences, but I'm worth it.

My wife called it "lazy man's bacon". I prefer Hormel's original Black Label bacon, cook it on a stove-top griddle with a cast iron press. Add a few eggs and a couple of slices of toast with the jam of the day. (Surprising how often that is Smucker's sweet orange marmalade.) Also put some it with 50 /50 apple juice and apple juice, and a cup or two of Farmer Brothers Arabica coffee with a bunch of sugar and I'm good to go.

My gripe is with them hiring people who DON'T have any accents, but some little girl (there are male versions, too, but not as often) with a squeaky Minnie Mouse voice and who talks so softly I can't hear what is being said.

Thank you. That helps.

Teeth on any bird are as useless as tits on a chicken.

You're still missing my point. I don't give a hoot about the things you are saying, just the funny landing gears. Done with this message.

If you don't tell us where these "districts" etc. are, your message isn't understandable. A map would help.

....and have discovered that, outside of western movies, the most popular handguns of all time were the Luger, the 1903 / 1905 Colt pocket hammerless guns, and Colt and S&W 38 revolvers of various kinds. Almost every PI, spy, foreign agent, gangster, hit man, local cop, fed, housewife, shop keeper, revolutionary, German officer and other world's military people had one.....even Patton....and many others. There were gazillions of them in movies of that time span. In movies showcasing people like Mr. Moto, Charley Chan, Roy Rogers, Mike Hammer, and a plethora of other movies, good and bad, well-known and obscure, you name it and someone was carrying one of those pieces. From Joe Kidd to The Maltese Falcon to Dick Tracy to Sherlock Holmes and many, many others one or more of those guns showed up. Some were in the hands of the stars, some were carried by miscellaneous people in the major scenes or backgrounds, some just sitting in the scene not carried by anyone one in particular. There were also a lot of little .25 automatics and big .45 pistols, but none as prolific as those three types.

A bird with teeth? Someone in the back room was smoking some home-grown pharmaceuticals when he designed that one.
