  1. Lo Bueno Lo Malo y Lo Feo
  2. The front wall is glass. The door is open all the way, 180°, so the door is lying flush against the glass wall. The doorway is completely open. The woman sees the door, pulls it towards her and attempts to walk through the glass wall (thinking it is the open doorway), bouncing off.
  3. Nope. I was thinking of Mad Jack Churchill. Went to war with a broadsword and a longbow.
  4. Something to consider. If it is already been accepted by the ATF, and is listed with them as exempt, that's great. If it has not been accepted by the ATF, either because it was made after NFA or because the barrel has been bobbed, but it is papered, that's also great. Cost you another $200 over the price of the gun, but it's great. But if it has neither been exempted nor papered, that makes it contraband. Now I don't know how the ATF handles non-registered NFA items. They have had a couple or three times in the past 90 years an amnesty, where you can bring in unpapered items and have them papered. This would usually be machine guns. "Something Daddy brought home from the war." But they are not currently having an amnesty, so I don't know if you had, for example, a gun made in 1920 with a barrel that is shorter than is legal and no paperwork, you can get it papered. I think I would want to see paper from the current owner. If it is registered as an SBR, he has paper. If the ATF exempted it from NFA, he should have paper saying that too.
  5. Remind otto that there is only one P in scraped. Pilonchillo is too good to be scrapped.
  6. You know the seven words has shrunk down to four? Numbers 3 4 5 and 6. One two and seven are used on television all the time.
  7. That's a little disillusioning, you know? Seeing those sheep in the background implies that George was hunting dragon over bait. Very unsportsmanlike.
  8. That took me the longest time to figure out what was going on.
  9. My signature, on a couple of other boards. Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for thou art crunchy, and taste good with catsup - George of Lod, Year of Our Lord 297
  10. Is that the guy that went into battle with a claymore? I remember some Brit during World War II with a big honking sword and a kilt.
  11. Back when Michael came to pay us a visit, and we were without power for a month. My daughter and her sister came down to help. The first morning we fire up the propane stove and boil some water. Take the basket from the Mr Coffee set it on top of the carafe, then pour the hot water through the coffee into the pot. That's a lot more difficult than it seems. That afternoon, my daughter's sister is looking through the cabinets and she turns to me accusingly and says, "YOU'VE GOT A FRENCH PRESS!!!" Apparently we were supposed to use the French press instead of trying to make Mr Coffee squatting on our knees on the driveway (my daughter had expected that this might be messy so we did it outside). But I had forgotten all about the damn thing.
  12. I had another one. I don't know where it went. Can't decide between a single cup And a small pot Have absolutely no interest in a cappuccino/latte/whatever else you have to foam the milk for But a moka pot is on my list And I keep flip flopping on a coffee grinder. Do I really want to get that involved?
  13. When I first talked to the doctor about getting contacts he told me to stick my finger up and touch my eye with it. I asked him why. He said that if I could not touch my eye with my finger there was no way I would be able to put contacts in. Fortunately I had learned years before that the way to touch your eye is first lick your finger. Because tears and spit feel the same. If you have saliva on your finger you won't feel it on your eye, but if you stick your dry finger up there your eye will start to burn.
  14. No, I like to drink my coffee. My understanding is that Turkish coffee needs to be chewed.
  15. I like number one. Everyone should know how to swim at least a mile. I know how to swim a mile. I can't do it, but I know how to. It's like running a marathon. I know how to run a marathon. I can't do it, but I know how. On the first episode of Bones, Zack says that he is halfway through two doctorates, so that should count as having a full doctorate. Using that thinking, since I know words and phrases in well over a dozen different languages, I should be considered fluent in a foreign language. Right?
