Here we would still be being told that it's "too soon" to call it a terrorist attack."

Maybe "unremember" would be a better choice. I rather like it. Very topical for the late '70s.

WOW! Now I want to hear what he has to say about the "pedophilic tendencies" that are so deeply embedded in the school industry. And so much worse than abuse by clergy of any sect. About 15 years ago I did some digging and found that across the boards abuse by clergy is at around 2%, compared to about 1% to 1.5% in the overall population. School industry is about 5%.

Great little article! Thanks, SD.

Funny how everyone of that persuasion knows that "Trump is a rapist" yet there has never been a conviction, or even a credible accusation. And, of course he is a conman of sorts....all businessmen are. So are all politicians. Since I haven't watched it, other than clips on YouTube, it wouldn't mean anything for me to boycott the show. But people do need to write to whatever service it's on to let them know, also the producers and any sponsors.

My guess would be not many. Word would likely spread quickly to Not Try That. https://www.warhistoryonline.com/war-articles/japanese-knee-mortar.html

It's not often you see them in desert colors. That must be it.

An interesting page

That's weird. When I went in for the, ah, rear view camera testing, I tired to leave off the little socks they gave me. I kept pushing them off, the staff kept putting them back on me.

Here's the photo from which that was cropped: She's not gripping her elbow. She's not grabbing her shoulder. That arm is just floating there. When you see this stance in movies the gun hand will be over the middle of the forearm, with that support arm just floating in the air. As I wrote, it must be a Hollywood thing. I agree that IF you can lock up that supporting arm by grabbing the opposite elbow, shoulder, etc. you will have a more stable platform than classic Bullseye stance. Maybe. Some of those Bullseye shooters are rock steady. And the Olympic shooters are like robots.

I was trying to find a certain pistol stance as in illustration for another thread and found this gem

If you want lyrics

That looks more like Rugby. In soccer they would all be on the ground pretending that they had been skinned alive.

Must be a Hollywood thing. Every time I see it in the movies the left arm is out, unsupported, just bent at the elbow and floating there, and the gun hand is braced on it, or at least the right forearm is braced on it. Never seen it in real life.

I've never really understood how using an unsupported arm as a rest helps.

Traces of Texas · The Texas Quote of the Day is a description of the notorious outlaw-turned-rancher King Fisher, who was apparently quite the dandy in his day: "King Fisher and his followers stole the settlers' livestock; robbed their corn cribs; and murdered those who opposed them. Fisher was then [the late 1870s] about twenty-five years old, and a perfect specimen of frontier dandy. He was tall and exceedingly handsome. He wore the finest clothes procurable, and of the picturesque, dime-novel type. His white, broad-brimmed sombrero was ornamented with gold and silver lace and had a golden snake for a band. His Mexican short jacket of fine buckskin was heavily embroidered with gold. His sheer, expensive shirt was worn open at the throat, with a silk handkerchief knotted about its wide collar. A crimson silk sash was wound about his waist. His chaperejos, or "chaps," were made of a royal Bengal tiger, ornamented down the seams with gold fringe. The tiger's skin had been procured at a circus in Northern Texas. He and some of his fellows had literally captured the circus, killed the tiger and skinned it, just because the desperado chief fancied he'd like to have a pair of tiger skin "chaps." He wore high-heel boots of costly leather, and silver spurs ornamented with little silver bells. He rode the best horses he could steal in Texas and Mexico." ----- N.W. Jennings, "A Texas Ranger," 1930

Nope.

New Jeep speedometer.

Some of the comments on it suggested it might be Swedish, maybe a Husqvarna.
