I don't just look, I wiggle them. I used to just open it and look, until one day I could not get an egg out of the carton. It was cracked on the bottom, and the egg white had leaked out and glued the egg to the carton. So now I wiggle them. Make sure they're all loose in the pockets.

Mary had a Little Lamb A little toast, a little jam A little pie, a little cake Mary had a tummy ache Mary had a little sheep And with the sheep she went to sleep The sheep turned out to be a ram Mary had a Little Lamb I'm fairly certain I have never had sheep - either mature or adolescent - for a meal. I used to work with a guy from Kentucky and he was explaining to me that while Texas barbecue was brisket, and Alabama barbecue was pork, Kentucky barbecue was mutton, and there was nothing else that delicious in the world.

I just realized you wrote four PLE, like triple but one more. I originally thought it said four PIE, which really did not make sense but I was giving you points for playing.

I was thinking four-parter, but that didn't have the sound of trilogy.

Okay, admit it. Who else read the title and immediately thought of the Dear Abby pencil test?

If you have a book series or a movie series, and there are three parts to it, it is called a trilogy. But what if there are four parts? Does it have a name? If so, what?

If the MJ stands for major on his name tag, why does he have railroad tracks on his shoulder? I mean, I've heard of a sergeant major, but a captain major?

How often do they have to put in the red food coloring?

Kaylee is the youngest (I thought that would be River but River is a year older). She's 45. Jayne is in his early 60s. These are old people. You really think they going to be out there doing their pirating smuggling stuff? They can redo it, like they did with Star Trek, with a new Spock and a new Kirk and a new Uhura and a new Scotty. But these people were in their 30s and 40s 25 years ago when the show was on.

Maybe Rocky pushed him out.

Scouts were normally civilians. As a civilian he could carry whatever he wanted. There were a few fights during the Red Cloud War, where the army had 1866 trapdoor rifles. Single shots. And the civilian teamsters had Henrys.

My understanding is that there were two things. One is it the military wanted to reach out and touch somebody. Five or six or 700 yards away. A 44/40 will not do that. A 45/70 will. But the main problem was they were afraid of wasting ammunition. That's why the US military first repeater - the Krag - had a magazine cut off. You load the magazine, you flip the switch, and you fire the rifle as a single shot. Holding the magazine full in reserve unless and until you are in danger of being overrun. Then you flip the switch the other way and you can use the five rounds in the magazine. But if you have a repeater you have a tendency to shoot it faster. They did the same thing with the 1903 Springfield. And again, you were supposed to have the magazine cut off engaged, and use the rifle as a single shot. I know this is true - I'm talking about burning ammunition with a magazine - because my brother had a single shot 22 and I had a 15 round repeater. We would go out and shoot and I would shoot a whole lot more ammo that he would.

Back to the original subject of culinary magic:

I know people like those 44 specials. But 45 ACP seems to work better for me. Cut down 1917. 625, Model of 1988. And a Thunder Ranch 22-4. Also have a 1937 Argentine, but apparently I have no picture.

They need to clean the taps. Look at all that crud in the head on that beer.
