I had one way back when they first came out. It may have been improved, but there was one fault: if you had any respect for your right thumb you would have to grind down and polish the cylinder latch. I did after the first few rounds and loved the ugly little brute.
After I got to where I wasn't comfortable with the recoil I sold it to my son, who found some oversize softer grips for it He has since sold it to his son who at six foot five and two hundred eighty solid pounds thinks its just perfect for him.

Saw a Navy CPO do something similar with a 1911 in 1976. He got four rounds in backward before he asked me for help.

Why stop at the statue? Get rid of the UN entirely.
I've been saying that for years, but before we bail put in a clause that states the UN MUST meet i whatever country the head of the UN (Secretary General?) is from. Let them live and operate under some of the backwoods countries and the laws, driving conditions. squalor , etc that the new country offers.
Give them 90 days to get out, then turn the UN buildings into something useful, like a home for unwed stray cats......ot a vacant lot.

Doesn't much irratate me. I never heard of her until I read this post.

My thought is very simple: I simply don't have room for under-the-counter-heaters....and the cost saving isn't enough and the convenience isn't enough to justfy it.

I go to a cafe with a bunch of like minded folks once a week. I started ordering a quarter pound patty with country gravy about a year ago. It just went to $12.00 US dollars and I'm not going to eat there any more. Maybe toast and coffee, but then again, maybe not.
I also go to Denny's on Wednesday morning and a short stack with a scrambled egg and two slices of bacon is only half that much.
Sorry Zeke, I just can't afford you any more.

Shoot the entire committee or department or whatever.
My wife and daughter visited Ireland many years ago and my wife caused a commotion when she tried to buy Bunratti (SP?) Castle.
She was kidding but the people there have no sense of humor.

I was thinking of the relative rates of the ranks in different services. For example, an Air Force brigadier has one star. An army brigadier has one star. And a marine brigadier has one star. All of them are the officer rank of O8, and therefore none of them should outrank the other. Except by date of rank but that's not part of the question.
Enlisted, on the other hand. An army PFC should be an E3 by my count - recruit, private, PFC. And a marine PFC should be an E3 - boot, private, PFC.
Next rank up in the Army is corporal, so corporal should be an E4, right? But the next rank up in the Marines is a lance corporal. Logically a lance corporal is an E4, so corporal is an E5.
Does that mean that a Marine Corps corporal outranks an Army corporal?
My original ponder on this was about Buck sergeant - three chevrons no rockers. But because there is a lance corporal, a buck Sergeant in the Marines should be an E6 while a buck Sergeant in the army is only an E5.
Yes/no?
What are you smoking that generates all these fun questions?
When I was a 2LT I was told that rank among "shavetails" is like virtue among prostitutes: it doesn't exist.

Sad part is the number of .idiots who believe this crap. At 93 million a day there won't be anyone left alive in this county by Wednesday next week. The REALLY sad part is that this is impossible and these fools will still be alive ansd we'll still have them spouting this garbage.

Oh!
I thought this was a test of our ability to Remember a time in our life.
When our local library got rid of the card catalogs I had a chance to buy ten of them for $20.00. Nice light oak finished in wonderful shape.
I have kicked myself for not taking that offer.
I ordered my birth certificate from the Oregon repository two years ago and they told me it would take a long time because they were still on microfiche (remember those?) and hadn't been converted to computers yet. Three weeks isn't "a long time".....and I accomplished something in under a month, and for only $60.00 (I ordered copies) that Obama never did get done.

Biggest stampede I ever saw was six steers running from a young dog.......in a three acre fenced lot.
The puppy was having fun, but those dumb steers thought they were going to be lunch.
Thanks for the story. I never heard of Teddy Blue Abbot, but I'll try to find more of his story.

I've tried every variety of Ovaltine that I can find and like I said about, it isn't the same.

Current Ovaltine is sort of crystalized. It is not powder like Quik. It comes in chocolate and malt. It is in most grocery stores.
Been drinking Ovaltine a long time.
Yeah, so have I., but it's just not what I remember from my childhood days when we had to boil water and milk over a dinosaur turd fire. It tastes different.

You'll notice that the same planes keep getting shot down throughout the series, and some of our P-51 fighters will go from "razor backs" to bubble tops from angle to angle in the same raid.
Otherwise it's a really good series.
