Forty Rod SASS 3935

We cross-supported some Aussie bomber pilots and their guys in Vietnam. They said the same thing about us.We both said the same thing about the Wisconsin reserve unit that was activated and sent over, and we all said that about the southerners and east coasters from here. Dialects are fun.

Sing song speech patterns drive me crazy. This guy made and art out of it and I lasted about as Alpo did.

That would scare the sh-- out you...or knock it out! Either way it would cure any constipation in a heartbeat.

Why don't you all simply disconnect otto. I don't know how to it.....but my daughter did and I haven't had to deal with otto for about three years. Now, punctuation is another thing all together.

Can you say "anticlimactic"? I knew you could. (With a tip of the hat to Mister Rogers.)

Utah has some dandies. too. My favorites are Tooele and Tipanogos. I knew a college professor (originally from New Hampshire but thirty years in Logan) who insisted on calling Tooele "Toolie". It's tuh Willa. Want to try Timpanogos? There's wonderful cave there that's a National Monument and I've heard people who have lived within a few miles of it who still don' know how to say it.

I was raised in Toppenish (nearly silent e) on the Yakima Indian Reservation. (Also spent some time at Fort Lewis near Tu-COMB -uh Spanaway was a cinch). We pronounced Yakima "Yak uh MA". Now I'm told the locals pronounce it "YAK i muh". I'm constantly annoyed by people who live here and still pronounce our towns Press Cott...especially on things like radio commercials. Also Prescott has a Courthouse PLAZA! Folks, it is NOT Courthouse SQUARE! It's a rectangle!

There has to be more to this story. Let's hear it.

This very sign is on a wall at Jen's 7th Avenue Cafe in Prescott Valley. If you're in the area stop by from 6:00am until 2:00. It's about the best cafe in the entire state, maybe in the whole world. Watch a great staff at work and get a fantastic meal to boot.

Nah! Too pleasant looking.

Not sure why you'd want an accurate varmint.

I bought one of the rifles in .30 U. S. Krag back when they first brought the repros out. Mighty fine rifle.

Prescott and Prescott Valley,Arizona: Both are PRESSkit, rhymes with biscuit. Then there's Buena, Washington. NOT bwyana like Spanish, but BYOO Enna. And don't even tackle Puyallup, Washington without a guide.

Might also be a good way to get crippled or killed. Why risk it?

I had a close friend in school who bought a Russian 95 and a Krag at the same time for a total cost of about $50.00 including a few dozen clips for the 95 and a few boxes of ammo. That was about 1961 or so. I don't think he ever fired the 95 but we hunted mule deer and elk with the Krag and my sporterized 02A3. He even got a black bear in Wyoming when I wasn't with him. He died about 15 years ago and one of his daughters told me that they sold the guns for $1200.00. I thought that was a low price because both guns were as issued and in 85% condition. Both had slings and one had a bayonet.

He was even seen in 'Nam when I was there. My Dad saw to it that I put everywhere I went.

LOVE KNOWS NO BOUNDERIES!

I don't have to do any homework. I am speaking from a total of 57+ years of personal experience. I'll take that over any number of opinions of people I don't know and don't believe anyway.

You do have your moments, Amigo. Once again I have to admit I agree with you 100%.

Ooooooooooooo, yer gonna pay for that one.

Yeah. So....?

Don't laugh. If that actually were to happen you can bet the rent it was funded by a government grant.

Lately?

OH, THAT '76. I was looking to read about you in 1776 when you were just a kidlet.
