Although I love the big bores, I don't think the 45-70 in a pistol is on my list of 'Things to do that can hurt me'. I got the 460 and 500 Smith's and I have to wear a wrist band and glove to shoot them.....but I do enjoy blasting away with them. Anything bigger would be a no-no for me. .........Widder

My kind of woman...... humble and modest. ..........Widder

Iguana Taco's? What do you fellers think you been eating in those 'real' Mexican restaurants all these years.....black Angus beef? ..........Widder

When cousin Homer told me you had gone to the bank to borrow some $$$ to buy some gas and vittles and got involved in the middle of a robbery, I just took for granted that it was at the bank. I didn't realize the robbery was at the gas-food-cold beer outlet. They do make good sammiches. Did you get the sardine & mustard sammich or the sardine & olive oil sammich? They both go gooooood with a cold Pepsi. ..........Widder

Ole TW was visiting one of his favorite hangouts this morning.....1st Nat'l Bank of Murfreesboro. A armed robber came in and ordered everyone..."Face down on the floor". Then the robber walked over to a patron on the floor and ask..."Did you see my face"? Patron replied.....YES. BANG, shot the patron in the leg and threatened to kill him if he told police. Again, the robber walked over to a patron on the floor and ask....."Did you see my face"? Patron replied....YES. BANG, shot the patron in the leg and threaten to kill him if he told police. Then the robber walked over to where TW was laying face down on the floor and ask...."Did you see my face"? TW replied....... "NO, but I'm pretty sure my wife did".. The man (TW) is a living history book. Another true story! ..........Widder

Just to share a little more helpful info, the Male's are meaner than the Females. The Females will rattle their tail and have a large forked tongue. The males just ...'hissssss'. ..........Widder

Yea, that's the way to get rid of them I 'had' a friend, Bless his heart, that found a nest of them in his back yard. So he drank up a few swigs of Uncle Johns 'splo' (moonshine to you foreigners) and decided to 'P' on them and light a match. Indeed, it killed out the nest, but it sorta hastened the demise of my good friend. True story. ..........Widder

this is a skit she performed with Martin Short as 'Ed Grimley'. Watch as she tries to mimic his facial expressions. I think its hilarious. I always liked her and thought she was a beautiful lady. ..........Widder

Beware of Snow Snakes. TN Williams got bit by one yesterday afternoon and nearly froze his butt off! This one will qualify as an ALPOISM: If you dilute your mouthwash with equal amounts of water (50/50 ratio), does that mean that it will only kill 49.995% of those germs that cause bad breath? AND....did you know when you gargle with that mouthwash full strength before you go to bed and kill off 99.99% of those germs that cause bad breath, that bad taste in your mouth the next morning is the corpse of those dead germs that have rotted in your mouth all night. Here in E.Tennessee, we are snowed in this morning and I ain't got nothin to do expect watch T.V. and think about stuff! ..........Widder

She always looked good in irons. One size fits all! ..........Widder

As previously posted a few weeks back, I got meowndangself a Rossi .454 Casull rifle, all black w/16" barrel. Although I ain't shot it yet (nasty weather), I put an Ultradot 'Matchdot II" green on it today. I've already got some good 300 grain Sierra, 300 grain XTP's, some 250 grain Barnes XPB's, and some 325 grain 'hard cast gas check' Rim Rock bullets all loaded up and waiting for those Jurassic creatures to venture close to Fort Widder. But here is the good info: my .45 Colt loads will cycle thru this Rossi R95 as smooth as they do my Marlins. And I didn't do any modifications for it. Really smooth! Can't wait to blast away back on the farm. So far, all looks very good and promising to be a dandy of a rifle to own and shoot. Disclaimer: I don't own any stock in Rossi nor do I know any employee(s). ..........Widder

It's called 'The Domino Effect'..... Should have ordered Pizza Hut gone to Wendy's for some good chili and a frosty. ..........Widder

Spoken like a true Mibster! ..........Widder

Howdy RYE. Somewhere in my house is 100 pieces of brand NEW, 454 Casull brass. Don't feel too bad, I gotta a friend that's lost a 'Performance Center' smith & Wesson 629 somewhere in his house or truck (no, it ain't the one I swiped)..... We usually find these things in the last place we look. ..........Widder

I never considered myself any kind of fast draw, but heck, In my prime about 10 years back, I could draw and fire a LIVE round in the low .3 range. And my pistol was a standard Ruger Vaq, not short stroked and using factory standard hammer. I would think 'Fast Draw' would atleast be in the .2 range. ..........Widder

Is it true the last eclipse was actually his shadow moving across the equator? ..........Widder

In my experience.... as CC stated.....Yes. But, there are exceptions, such as permanent hearing loss, which is my disability. My nerves in my ear drum are useless, and they know it thru certain test they gave me. Basically, my % of disability doesn't require periodic hearing test. Therefore, my disability is considered permanent. ..........Widder

Hey Rye. If TW 'Tight Wad' Williams would buy one, I would do a little 'midnite requisition' and have one to check out. He'll never know its missing from his inventory, just like the S&W 629 Performance Center 'Comp Hunter' i got from him. He still don't know its missing..... ..........Widder

I've never checked out the Rossi .22 Wonder if it can be "Soft Stroked" like the Henry .22? ..........Widder

TN Williams is rumored to have Pyroflatulence. A cold bed to him is just another way to blow off his gas. He gives the term 'gaslighting' a new definition. ..........Widder

If you think about it, WE do about the same position on a cold night in a cold bed..... we get into the fetal position (curl up) and try to stay warmer. ..........Widder

We do have much in common...... ..........Widder

I can only account for this one Rossi I own (model M95) and a couple new RUGER 1894's that Slater has worked on. Basically, I think BOTH companies have done very well. Slater tells me that a couple 'gunsmith type mods' seem to be incorporated into the new 1894's. And as I've stated above, the new Rossi has a couple areas in the manner I would add into its workings. Slater tells me the Rugers are clean inside.....machined very well. My Rossi M95 also is machined well and clean inside. Both seem to be in the 1K price range (which includes tax and background check cost). ..........Widder

Here's a true story. Yea, I know I'm not known for telling true stories, but this one is. On Tuesday of this week, my brother and his son drop over to deliver me some fire wood for my fire pit in the back yard. Well, my nephew brings his 1+ year old daughter along for the ride. My brother and nephew begin to tell me that 'Layla' was born breached and that when she delivered, her little legs were bent up over her body and her feet were basically up around her head. I quickly said......"Did you tell the doctor that was the same position her momma was in 9 months earlier"? They both laughed! ..........Widder

Longfoot: I think you are on the same 'brain waves' as I am on this modification. Here's some more info to share: The rifle is the newer Rossi M95 in .454 Casull. I advised my friend that he would be better off with the M95 in 30-30 and switch out the barrel, and possibly have to modify the bolt face. Yes, he was consulting me because I understand timing issues and the inner workings of the Rossi M95 are very much like the Marlin. The M95 in 454 Casull is a shorter action than the 30-30 and 45-70. I think that's why he likes the 454 action for his modification. Do I think it will work..... oh yea. Setting up the timing would be no problem. His biggest obstacle will be in EJECTIONS. An empty piece of 460 brass will clear the port but a live round won't. So he would be greatly hindered in removing live rounds from the rifle. Pulling the barrel and rechambering would be no problem for him. BUT....I was concerned more about 'pressures' because he was thinking that 60K generated by the 454 Casull would be the same as 60K generated from the 460 mag. And the red flags started generating in my brain. I knew some Saloon Pards would know more about this stuff than I....... and their info has helped ALOT. Thanks again, everyone. ..........Widder
