Presidential Debate

Or perhaps people were. -
Then there's 'not-buying pleasure.' When after long work life you have some extra money, and can look at good stuff and think, I could write a check for that right now. But you don't. You don't really want it anymore, or whatever. It's a nice feeling.

Could be, but on the other hand, perhaps not. I know two guys who came close to drowning in adulthood. But they still went around water, just more carefully.

I think that Leonard's stories were made into more movies and TV shows than anyone else's, except maybe Shakespeare"s. Around 25. Probably because he wrote both great Westerns and crime stories. A few: The Tall T; Joe Kidd, 3:10 to Yuma (two movies), Hombre, Valdez is Coming, Last Stand at Saber River, Mr. Majestic, Get Shorty, Be Cool, Jackie Brown [Rum Punch], 52 Pick Up, and several others, including Justified, as JBar said. Amazingly productive man. -

Boone a great villain also in The Tall T, one of the Budd Boetticher movies with Randolph Scott. -
Reminds me of my favorite Dorothy Parker quip; "I love a good martini, two at the very most. Three, I'm under the table; four, I'm under the host."

Precision Rifle? Or just "Close Enough?"
Red Gauntlet , SASS 60619 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I've been curious about the accuracy (as to which I'm ignorant). Why were they not able to put shells directly into the pillboxes at the Normandy invasion? Or were they? -

Since it was used to shoot the former President, I suppos that requests may have been expedited at all levels. -
Would you let someone try on your wedding ring?

The oath is good for the trial, but often the judge will remind the witness that he's still under oath if there has been some time between the examinations. This is for the jury's benefit as well as the witnesses. As for "I remind you that you are under oath"-- I may have heard this a time or two over the decades but very, very rarely. It would make the examining lawyer look foolish in my opinion.
