I don't know why, but for some reason I thought this was going to be about the guns used in the movie.

30 bucks. Damn. Well, 23 plus tax plus $5 shipping so yeah, 30 bucks. You get three so that's only $10 each, but you don't have the option just buying one.
Thanks Pat. You da man.

That made me think of my bicycle Adventures.
I didn't have a cool spider bike like that. I had a full size 26-inch - what they call a cruiser nowadays. I wanted a cooler bike but the parental units kept turning that idea down. I did manage to promote motorcycle handlebars and a banana seat.
So I'm riding down the road one day and for some reason I have decided to ride in the gutter. And them big motorcycle handlebars caught a mailbox, and I went sliding down the street. Still have the scars from that one.
Another time I am pulling somebody - don't remember if it was a friend or my brother - behind me on my bicycle. He's on a skateboard. We were doing fine until I turn the corner. I had long ago removed the fender from my bicycle, because it was much cooler without fenders. So I turned the corner and the rope comes down behind the seat and the tire grabs it and pulls it down and the bike stopped and I went over the handlebars and slid down the street. No scars from that one.
And then there was the time I was trying to do a Pony Express Mount. You know how they would do that in the western movies - run along beside the horse holding on to the saddle horn and JUMP up into the saddle. So I would run along beside my bike and have my left foot onto the pedal and while pushing it down swing on to the bike. That was really cool. Until the time I missed the pedal. And went down on the cobblestones.
I remember Mama was more upset that I tore the knee out of my pants than she was about the blood running down my leg.

Well I now see why I could not come up with a song about a barracuda. That first song sounds like a car commercial. The next two apparently were released in the twenties, which is 50 years after the 1960s hot rod car thing. The song about the dance is so stupid it wouldn't have stuck with me, and like I said that last one by heart is not about the car.
But I wish to thank everyone for playing.

Actually I know what it is, I just want to know who makes it. I don't know if it's really worth a damn but it looks extremely cool.
It's a snap on hammer shroud. It fits over the hammer of your J frame double action revolver, so you can stick it in the pocket and draw it without having the hammer spur catch. And as you pull the trigger double action, the hammer goes backward and knocks that off.

Book I was reading the other day. The protagonist had just graduated from the free Belgian University. And I have no idea what the free Belgium University is, but what it sounds like is college that you don't have to pay for. Like public school, is paid for by taxes.
And I think I read once upon a time that at least one of the Scandinavian countries has free college.
But I was listening to this guy on YouTube the other day, and he was talking about how the states were different and how in this state this was allowed but in this other state it wasn't allowed, and then he said that some states have free college.
What????
Free college? Here in the good old US of A?
Does your state have free college, that you are aware of? I mean, hell, Florida might have free college but nobody ever told me about it.

I found this meme. I agree with it.
But then after thinking about it a while, I couldn't come up with a song about a barracuda. Little GTO. Little Cobra. 409. Lots of songs about hot rods but I couldn't remember one about a barracuda.
Heart has a song called barracuda, but I just read the lyrics and it's not at all about a car.

Oh, I think they know it happened,
They just want to try to do it again.
Some show I saw years ago - don't remember if it was movie or TV. This pro-nazi idiot was proud of it. "Yes we did it. It needed done. Damn Jews are the curse of the world."
And at the end of the show a politician - someone you would never suspect - is telling him, "You damn fool. Keep your mouth shut. Let them forget about it. Let them think it never happened. Then we can do it again."

Here we have a zebra-horse (I guess they couldn't come up with a cute name for that)
And here we have a zebkey
If they ever make an animal version of The wizard of Oz, she could play the witch that Dorothy drops the house on. Already got the striped stockings.

In a previous life this was a little girl trying to learn how to shoot.
See why you always make them stand up straight and not lean back.

I did not want those two pictures to merge, but apparently the Saloon (ACS) did.

It actually reminds me of a Dick Van Dyke episode.
Dick had the boys over for cards, and he was winning. Big time. Because it turned out that they were playing with a deck that belonged to Richie. They were from his magician kit, and they were marked. Dick wasn't even thinking about it, he was just reading them. Not trying to cheat just reading the cards.
And when Richie commented so and so has got this hand and he knows that because the cards are marked and he can read them, everybody gets mad, the money gets returned, they start over with a new deck. And Richie still knows what they've got then. Because he can see the reflection of the cards in their glasses.
They weren't wearing "man with no eyes" sunglasses, but the light on top of the card table allowed him to see the reflection of the cards in their glasses.

You asked about the Harvey, but not the KC. Does that mean you knew what the KC was?
I didn't know what either was, but your link explained the Harvey and there was a link in the Harvey site explaining the Krupp Cemented.
