Goes back to beginning of humans: "my God can whip your God" and then the killing starts.

Why "the western"? The church was founded in New Yawk.

The Court-Martial
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Funny, that subject came up our weekly Marine Corps League breakfast just this morning. If they do keep the new names I'm not sure my son will even exist any longer: he was born in the Army Hospital at Fort Lee, Virginia. My daughter was born at the Army Hospital at Camp Kue (pronounced KOO eee), Okinawa and they changed the name on that one already. -
We used to watch the Osmonds before they were "The Osmonds". They would go around singing in local Wards from time to time.

I don't want to shoot anyone. Doesn't mean I won't! The second he became a threat to my wife or kids or me he is going to get shot. Probably more than once.

Yeah! I'll bet Trump gets blamed for that, too.

I'm back after a couple of years!
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Knuckles Bandera #43963's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
What did I miss? I asked that question in a bar once and was told by one guy "If I remember right, you missed dang near everything you shot at." Every man jack in the place...and most of the ladies, too....laughed their butts off. I got even with them though. I went to another bar from then on. -
Cimarron customer service
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I love that place. I ordered a Uberti First Model American in .44 Special, nickel plated with a 8 inch barrel andwalnut grips. I paid cash up front. Took nearly a year and someone called me about weekly to keep me in the loop. I finally settled for one in .45LC because they couldn't get one in .44, It came with checkered walnut grips at no additional cost. I checked and the new cost was nearly $300.00 more than I paid. I asked about it and was told that I paid for the gun at the original price and that was I got it for. The grips were free because I had waited so long. I called them back a week or so later to order another one just like it and they said they weren't importing any more plated or with 8" barrels. There were only a few like it brought in. Oh, well. -

It started before sunup this morning. We haven't had much snow for the last two or three years and the water table is in serious straits and we can use the water. It' still snowing, coming down for almost eight hours, and like I said, we need the water. But so much, so fast.....it's just beyond belief. Why, it's piling up to the point we must have 1/4 inch. maybe twice that much in some places. I hope it goes on for another month or more. I bought a snow shovel about seven years ago. Had to wait a week because they just don't stock a lot of snow shovels here. By the time I got it the snow had stopped and I have only used the thing four or five times since.

I have an old style flip phone. It's very small, handy and convenient. I don't have hundreds of things on it that I will never use...and I can't receive texts nor send them. I've told hundreds of people to NOT text me and then I get letters asking why I didn't respond. (It's one of very few complaints I have with the VA and almost nothing else matters.) Now here's the part I like best: I got this phone with all the discounts for NOTHING. Nada. Nicht. It costs me less than thirty dollars a month. I had one office tell me "well, you'll just have to het a smart phone." I said I would, but when would I get the check. "What check?" The check that YOU or you Micky Mouse company are going to send me to pay for a $2,000.00 piece of crap so you don't have to simply pick up a phone (which you did to make this call) or send me an email, or, perish forbid, an honest to God LETTER!" A supervisor got on the phone who told me "You just don't understand....." "No sweetheart, YOU don't understand. The Veteran's Affairs pays you a lot of money because they don'rthave a machine to do this scan, but you do. A few hundred other places from Phoenix to the Utah state line DO have them and I'll call whoever I have to to get you removed from their list." Know what? They send me a email now and no one gets on the phone an insults me...at least from that office.

I remember my dad telling me what he earned his first year as a school teacher. I don't remember how much it was but he said if they had offered him $300.00 a month he would have signed a lifetime contract. MY first year teaching I was paid $330.10 a month..... and we got by. At the end of the year we moved to Pekin, IL and I went to work for Caterpillar for $780.00 an month and It went to $815.00 five weeks later when I finished my training. When I sold my share of a four partner business and retired I was averaging a whole lot more.

Colt 45 the movie - interesting and confusing guns
Forty Rod SASS 3935 replied to Warden Callaway's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
No, but Stenbridge Arms was pretty adept at making dummy guns that would. A close up would show you that they weren't real, but a quick look would pass. -
My Mother's family were half Italian. Latin was the language of Rome (Italy) so I'm 1/4 Latino on Mom's side. Want to start a fight? Declare that in LA. And when some puke challenges you, call him "Chiquita" and refer to the pukes with him as his "girlfriends". It hurt a bit and the colors faded after a week.....but it was SO MUCH FUN! Hint: do in front of a couple of local LEOs who are your friends.

Before I left California I applied for a resident CCW permit. A few hundred dollars and ten months later I had encountered a whole mess of "do it over again" and " you need to do this" run-arounds. When we decided to move to Arizona I called the proper agency, had the forms in my hand in a week or so, submitted the forms with a check for (IIRC) $38.00 and got them back a few days later saying in essence "Dumb ass, you didn't sign the space on page two". I signed, resubmitted, and had the card in my possession in another three weeks. Don't think California won't put everything possible in the way to make it almost impossible to get an Out Of State CCW....if for no other reason than being spiteful over losing a court battle. I lived in that state for almost 38 years. I know what they are capable of and I know that they have no respect for citizens, courts, nor anything else that stands in their way of controlling everyone.

The stork! . . . . . . . . . . Not really, but I just wanted to see if I got a reaction. Actually, we decided together. We both had a day off and it was convenient. We eloped. I still have the reciept from the JOP: $12.00. I paid two ladies we found on the elevator $2.00 each to be witnesses.
