dubbing a movie requires dialogue change
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
My only experience with dubbing was in a hospital room waiting for some test results. The TV over my bed had 140 something channels. Most were crap but I found one with old My Three Sons On Horseback reruns dubbed in Spanish.......with English subtitles. Strange at first but I adapted and before I left they put on Gun Smoke dubbed in Spanish.......with English subtitles. -
Fiction is fiction...until someone figures out to do it or find out what it can be made to do. THE ORIGINAL CONCEPT REMAINS FICTION!

what is the latest time you would expect a delivery?

Like two today...right house number and ZIP code, just three blocks east of the right street. The name of the lady has about a dozen letters. Taylor has six. -
This is different, a machine gun
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Probably a Mk.17 fully automatic. Saw an early version demonstrated at Aberdeen proving Ground in 1965. Really an impressive weapon in action. Never saw one in the field.....nor even ever again for that matter. -
Of course it isn't reality. It's science FICTION! it has plots aimed at 12 year old kids and people who simply want to kill time enjoying a stupid movie...like I do.

What to wear in the courtroom?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Trailrider #896's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
My wife's boss, a well known attorney and a wonderful gentleman, answered my question about getting out of jury duty: "Tom, you're probably already in possession of whatever I tell you that you need." The list: A very nice black cowboy hat. No fancy hat bands. Take it off in the courtroom and the waiting room. A pair of dark rimmed glasses without any tint (I wore very thick glasses in those days). A two or three-piece suit, preferably navy or dark gray and with very thin pin stripes if possible. A plain undecorated white dress shirt, with or without a button down collar. A dark red necktie with no decoration other than a red and /or blue diagonal narrow stripe. Find a Marine tie bar. A gold or silver pocket watch and chain, or a very elegant and unpretentious wrist watch with a genuine leather band. No alligator or other materials. . Wear your wedding band. Polish your black boots like you learned how in the Marines. Put a small Marine emblem and a very small Bronze Star pin in your left lapel. Buy and carry a fountain pen and a matching mechanical pencil in the left inside breast pocket of you coat. A small leather covered pocket note book, also in your breast pocket. Take a note or two, not too obviously. Carry two linen handkerchiefs. You may not need them, but....! Get a relatively short "business man's" haircut and an unpolished but buffed manicure. Carry any firearms magazine or National Geographic with your address label on it. He finished with "Go in with authority and confidence, but try not to be overly stiff, almost militarily professional. Talk to no one except the courtroom staff. Sit alone midway back if possible and to the judge's right. Sit calmly, scan the room slowly, and then start to read your magazine." I asked him why. He told me to ask the bailiff when I left to room. He will help you with all of you questions. If not, come back and I'll tell you. Ten or fifteen minutes after going into the waiting room, the bailiff told me I had been excused. I asked him why. He followed me into the hallway. The first answer to why I was being ecxused he said, "Sir, look at your self. You are the picture of 'Joe Conservative' and no defense attorney on this planet will let you sit in judgement of his run-of-the-mill defendant. You are the kind who is dangerous for several reasons, mostly because you won't show any mercy but will sort the facts and weigh them carefully. Secondly because people who look like you tend to sway a lot of jurors who think you are smarter than they are or, at least know the world better than they do. We call it the "leader image". They wouldn't admit it but we've seen it often enough to believe it. It might even be subconscious." I was 61 years old and had my own business. Mr. Jaffee was right: I had most of his list already. I was never even called for jury duty again. -
I started my son off with a Winchester 9422 and my daughter with a Nylon 66. Both were big enough for me or my wife to use if they lost interest. My son's gun was stolen ten years later and he graduated to a Winchester 94 in .30-30, and later to a number of other guns. My daughter kept the 66, but almost never used it until she married a guy with a bolt action Remington nylon rifle. She's more comfortable with her hand guns (I think she now has four).

Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Prime (Amazon), UPS, and FedEx, yes. Prime delivered on Christmas morning the year before last. USPS is never here after 5:00 pm and almost never before 11:00 am. They often put mail for someone else in my box and I have had neighbors bring me my mail from their boxes. All have been known to deliver on Sunday....but not often. -
Mama's recipe called it Mississippi mud pie
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Why is it necessary for everyone on any electronic medium, and most live performances of any kind TO SCREAM? I miss out on a lot because I just either go to another site or shut the damned noise off. I try to never buy any product that has screaming, loud, repetitious, or childish ads on my tv, radio, computer or any other annoying, painful crap. I'd like to go into their corporate offices, work places, lunch rooms and parking lots and play their BS ads on every screen or sound system I could get in the places....any and all times that anyone is in those places. -
Some of the Arizona Indian Reservations go in and out of Daylight Savings Time. The state in general just keeps standard time year around.

what would they do in this instance?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
The D.I. would lay the rifle on the man's back, right side (operating handle side) up, left side on his spine. If the push ups were done properly the rifle would not fall off, the back would remain straight, and the man would get a physical workout that would teach him how to look like a Marine when he stood up. -
what would they do in this instance?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
It would ride on the recruit's back, right side up, muzzle on the head end , butt on the butt, while he was doing his pushups. Saw it P. I. and SanDiego both. Adds weight and forces the 'cruit to keep his back straight. -
Trams have generations. Who knew?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
And what does the third gen tram look like and how is it better. -
Atta boy. Sure a lot of folks out here proud of you.

My dad made it to 81. Osteoporosis from cortisone shots got him. Otherwise he was in great shape, his skeletal structure did him in. Mom was 96. She suffered from Alzheimer's for the last six years. Neither one knew squat about all these "good for you / bad for you" things....and at 84 I have chosen to ignore most of them. I'm not in great shape, but I blame it on breaking bones, tearing muscles, over-stretching joints and muscles, too much drinking in my younger years, and noisy guns, turbines, automobile engines, etc. and some early ear infections, living too big to survive, some serious infections and wounds, and a lot of day-to-day mistakes. None of those mistakes were from what I ate or didn't eat.

Gad, Dad, you been had by a SPAD. Heard that in 'Nam after a Sky Raider took down a MiG. Saw a lot on the ground and in the air. Never saw one in action.

Hey, Alpo...you could pass for a fire plug.

And probably pretty TIRED when she got off, too.

I have been using Kerry Gold for years. A few years back Consumer Reports did an article on butters. Kerry Gold came in number two but number one was about $16.00 a pound. I have a neighbor through the block who gets me two dozen eggs every ten days...if her hens cooperate. They tase better, have better shells than store stuff, and are easier to separate than others. I try to get rid of the whites unless I'm making something that specifically calls for them...like home made divinity or merangue.

Widder knows best. Takes almost no time at all and Crisco is so cheap I don't know how they stay in business...and a can will last a LOOOOOONG time.) All the rest is overly complicated and doesn't do anything special. (This opinion comes for 60+ years of doing this over and over again.)

Do you have a printer?
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have an HP 8015 ink jet. I've had several HP printers over the years and liked them all....until I bought this poorly designed, poorly made, clumsy, plastic that doesn't fit, slower than hell POS. I'll look at HP again before long but I'm going to be super fussy next time. -
What Was Happening In 1946?

I was busy being four years old and learning to love our servicemen.
