I never had any intention of doing that with my gun, but I've seen several posts over the years of people that remove the button mag and pull the full length mag tube on theirs to give them a 10 shot 32/20 to compete with. They never mentioned it, at least I don't recall anyone mentioning it, how they held the far end of the tube up. Get a barrel band off an SRC, or cut it dovetail in the bottom of the barrel. It's funny - I think it's funny anyway. I like 32/20 rifles. I have three. A circa 1890 73, a circa 1914 92, and the afore-pictured Browning. And I have some Smith & Wesson M&Ps. But I just do not like the feel of the single action army in that chambering. Because I like the cartridge so much, when I first started cowboy I bought a single action army (not a Colt, but) 4 and 3/4 inch, I don't like that length either. And I traded that off to 3Es for a New Service in 38/40. I much happier. He seemed to be much happier. To me, the balance is all wrong. Because it's a 45 caliber frame with that little 32 caliber hole in it. Now the K frame Smiths - they are a 38 caliber frame with a 32 caliber hole and they feel good. Funky.

That would be a smoking deal. I paid $400 for mine in -- damn, that was sometime back in the late 90s. It would be a shame to cut down a stock as pretty as that one though.

You were a Marine in the '60s, right? Did they wear their hair high and tight, with the size (damn it otto SIDES) of their head shaved and only the very top of their head having any hair on it and it all less than half an inch long? I'm reading a story. Two of the principal characters are a 16 year old boy and an old man who was in the Marines in Korea. The boy commented that he needed a haircut, and the old man said that it was getting a little long, and then he suggested, "I can give you a high and tight like we used to wear in the Marines". The boy turned down the offer, but I'm sitting there thinking - I don't think they wore their hair like that in 52. Yes, they got their heads shaved at Parris island, but I thought once they graduated they were allowed to have hair. I believe, and I certainly could be wrong on this, that this whole high and tight nonsense is not a regulation, but just they've decided I WEAR MY HAIR LIKE THIS AND EVERYBODY CAN TELL I'M A MARINE!!!!! I realize there's a vast difference between 53 and 66, but if they weren't wearing it high and tight in the '60s I'm pretty sure they weren't wearing it high and tight in the 50s.

I just watched a commercial, for chair tai chi. The actresses in the commercial were AI. The fat woman, that was supposed to lose all the weight using chair Tai chi, is standing there in a bikini. She has a large tattoo on her right thigh. A large tattoo on her upper right quadrant. And a large tattoo on her left upper arm. Now, if you get a tattoo when you're skinny, and then you get fat, the tattoo spreads, right? But what happens to it if you get tattooed when you're fat, and then lose the weight?

I just received an email from them. Says they sell ammo, but they only sell it by the case. That's okay. But where did they get my email? Down at the bottom of the email it says You have received this email because you subscribed at justincase.com And I thought to myself, I thought I thought - I never heard of just in case, so how could I have been to their website and subscribed? This means they bought my email address. SPAM!!! And away it was sent to my spam file. Any of y'all ever heard of it? Sound like spam to y'all?

I have noticed a similar reaction to the giving birth thing. Well (I really wish otto would learn the difference between WELL and WHILE. It would probably make my posts be more intelligent) I have never given birth, I have occasionally been semi constipated. And the stool feels like it's about the size of a baseball when it decides to leave. Lamaze breathing helps. And cussing helps.

And then there are "ice lollies", which I am pretty sure is a popsicle. You do not spread jelly on bread. Jelly is jello. So they only have preserves and jam. Interesting. Pudding is any kind of dessert. I was told by an Englishman that while most cookies are biscuits, chocolate chip cookies are cookies.

Not too bad for AI.

Just the way he was saying it. You remember the lunchroom scene in Animal House? Otter (Tim Matheson) walks over to the table and offers to buy Mandy (or was it Babs?) her lunch. She points to the tray. "Oh I see you have your lunch. Can I buy you some milk?" She holds up the carton. "And you have your milk too." And that's the same impression I got from the scene. "Can I buy you a cup of coffee?" And she sitting there drinking a cup of coffee at the time. Many restaurants, in my area - when you order coffee they not only bring you a cup of coffee but they bring you a thermal carafe which has got maybe two or three other cups in it. They don't have to come fill it up. Just keep topping it off as long as you like.

Appears to be a woodpecker. And this is what videos used to look like on my other phone. But this is only the third video that someone is posted since I got my new phone, and like I said, the first two downloaded instead of just letting me watch it on the site. I guess it was the type of video posted, and not my new phone.

Did you replace the Mastodon grips, or is that a different gun?

Is this happening with other people? Or is it just because I have a new phone? Bob's post has a link. I clicked on it and it downloaded the movie. One of Kris's threads has a video, and it also downloaded. Just wondering if it's doing that for everybody or if this is just something my new phone likes to do? My previous phone, when someone would post a movie, I would click on it and it would sit there and think about whether it was going to run, and then it would play in their post. And it would not end up on my phone. But these two from Bob and Kris downloaded to my phone.

This is in an online story. I have read it before, and at the time I pondered about which way I would do it. So here we go. You have been invited to go to a museum opening. They're paying everything - plane fare hotel bill, everything. It is February. You leave West Texas - Fort Stockton if you're curious - and you fly to Chicago, where it is much colder than it was in Texas. You contemplate on that as you get picked up in the limo to take you to the hotel. When you check in they tell you that they have a nice suite for you, and the museum is picking up the bill, so anything you what, just sign for it. On the way out to do some sightseeing you remember the blizzard going on outside, so you stop off in the hotel gift shop and buy a warm coat. Would you pay for it yourself, because you should have had enough intelligence to bring warm clothing if you were going up inside the Arctic circle? Or would you just sign for it and let the museum pick it up? I haven't decided. I think I would have brought warm clothing with me and the question would have never come up. But still --- I had a similar experience. Again, in February, I flew from Florida to New Jersey. I got on the plane wearing a light jacket and a t-shirt. I picked up my rental car keys and walked out the door and immediately walked back inside. It was cold out there. 😄 Fortunately I had some warm clothing in my suitcase, so I just squatted down in the middle of the airport corridor and put on warmer clothes.

I wear a beard. I want(wore) a beard most of my life. But even when you wear a beard there are still parts of your face that you shave. Your neck. Your cheeks above your beard. And since it's summer I've actually cut it down to a goatee. So there's a lot of my face that still needs to get shaved I use a straight razor. I'm taking a shower this morning and as I'm washing my armpit there's lumps of stuff caught in my armpit hair. It's antiperspirant. I knew what it was. I've had it happen many times throughout my life. You kind of catch the lump between your fingernail and your thumb and just pull it off of the hair. A minor inconvenience. But this morning I wondered if I shaved my armpits I should not have that problem. Right? And I'm not some high school job(jock) that I need to show off my testosterone by showing my hairy armpits in the locker room. Now, understand, I have no actual intention of shaving my armpits. It's just a random thought in the shower. Then as I am drying off, and I have my hand pointed up in the air so I can dry my armpit, I'm looking at my armpit in the bathroom mirror. And the thought - how in the hell would you shave that with a straight razor without cutting yourself to death? 🤔 Maybe THAT'S why women didn't used to shave their pits. Had to wait until the safety razor was invented. 😆😆

Yeah,^^^^^, what he said.

That raises an interesting thought. Would he log them out of his bound book to himself, or to the person he gives it to? If he logs it out to himself, does he have to do a 4473? If he does have to do a 4473, could he put all nine of them on one or does he have to do nine?

I am watching Meet Joe Black. Hasn't been on very long so I don't really know what's going on, but the girl has just met Brad Pitt in a restaurant. They're in a big city - New York, Washington, I don't know. She's sitting there eating her breakfast, and drinking a cup of coffee. He sits down eating his breakfast and drinking a cup of coffee. He starts chatting her up. She says she has to leave and he asks if he could buy her a cup of coffee. He says he understands she has to get back to the hospital - she's a doctor - and he has to go back to his apartment and get ready to go to work. But still he would really like another cup of coffee. Yeah so she agrees. Now they both had coffee with their breakfast. Every restaurant I have ever been in, coffee refills were free. He leans over the counter - they're both sitting at the counter - picks the coffee pot up off the burner, raises it up so he gets the attendance attention, then pours the both of them another cup of coffee and puts the pot back on the burner. So apparently he's going to have to pay for these two extra cups of coffee. This is not a coffee shop. I can see them charging you for a second cup at Starbucks or Dunkin or whatever. But a restaurant? So, you ever been in a restaurant where they charged you for a coffee refill?

MY DADDY SLEEPS NAKED "Late again!" the third-grade teacher sternly said to little Ranger. "It ain't my fault this time, Miss Russell. You can blame this 'un on my Daddy. The reason I'm three hours late is my Daddy sleeps naked!" Now, Miss Russell had taught grammar school for thirty-some-odd years. Despite her mounting fears, she asked little Ranger what he meant by that. Full of grins and mischief, and in the flower of his youth - little Ranger and trouble were old friends - but he always told her the truth. "You see, Miss Russell, out at the farm we got this here low down fox. The last few nights, he done ate six hens. "Last night, when Daddy heard a noise out in the chicken pen, he grabbed his double barreled shot gun and said to my Ma, 'That fox is back again - I'm a gonna git him! Stay back,' Daddy whispered to all us kids! "My Daddy was naked as a jaybird - no boots, no pants, no shirt! To the hen house he crawled. Then, he stuck that double-barreled 12-gauge shotgun through the window of the coop. As he stared into the darkness, with a fox on his mind, our old hound dog, Rip, had done gone and woke up and comes sneaking up behind Daddy. Then, as we all looked on, plumb helpless, old Rip done went and stuck his cold nose in my daddy's rear!" "Miss Russell, we all been pluckin' chickens since three o'clock this mornin!"

I used to hear that people that competed with 97s had to have three. One to use in the match. A spare, for when the one you're using in the match breaks. And the third one at the gunsmith getting repaired.
