  1. Garbage gets picked up the same day, or maybe the same two days, every week. So you put your garbage out to the street. But the day that it's supposed to be picked up is a holiday, and the garbage pickup doesn't happen.

     

    Would you bring the can back up to the house until the next trash day? Or would you leave it sitting out there until they eventually come along and dump it?

     

    My garbage gets picked up twice a week, and one of the pickup days is Friday. Which, of course was Independence Day, so there was no pickup.

     

    I saw many cans sitting at the curb. But by about 4:30 Friday afternoon nobody had their cans sitting out there any more. Except me. It's still sitting out there. And it's going to stay sitting out there until somebody comes along and dumps it. And if the city don't like it, they need to get the trash truck out there.

    I prefer them over CCI for sure.

    I actually like CCI. Fully seated they work just fine. 

    When I started loading I used CCI. Many years later I bought a Model 642 Smith & Wesson. Hammerless. Because of that concealed hammer it had a shorter stroke so it didn't hit as hard. And it would not always go bang. So I bought some Winchester, because I heard they were softer. And all I loaded with the Winchester was 38 special, so I could shoot it in that 642 with no problems. Continue using CCI with the nine and the 40 and the 32.

     

    Then I bought a PPK. And I was having the same problems -no go bang every time. So I started loading 380 with the Winchesters.

     

    Found out the problem with the Walther. I bought it used, and a previous owner had performed a "trigger job". Cut two coils off the mainspring.

     

    When I replaced that thing with a factory mainspring I no longer had failure to fire problems. With anything.

  3. I don't know about Pokemon cards, because I never had anything to do with Pokemon.

     

    But round about 2000 I was in an antique store and they had these.

    That's the kind of crap that makes you feel old. It's bad enough that they have the toys you played with as a kid. But when they've got the coffee cups you've still got in your cabinet. Dayum.

  4. I am surprised. All these replies, and not one person commented on the sugar in the cornbread recipe.

     

    Normally if there's a thread, on any board I've ever been on, involving cornbread, about the third post somebody will complain about the sugar.

  5. I'm watching the mummy part 2. And one of the good guys' horse he's got this knotted macrame looking thing hanging down in front of his face.

     

    I've seen pictures of Arab horses - not Arabians like we got here but actual horses owned by Arabs over in the desert - with these tassels before.

    Is that just for pretty, or does it have a purpose? Like maybe keeping sand out of the horse's eyes?

  6. I think part of it is they're embarrassed.

     

    "Oh my God, he's asking me questions and they've got a camera on me, oh my God. I'm going to be on YouTube oh my God!!"

     

    And then of course we have the idiot asking questions badly - "what part of 10 is 6.2?"

     

    What the hell does that even mean? Then he rephrases - "percentage wise. What percentage of 10 is 6.2?"

     

    Well stupid, you should have just scratched that off, and not asked her that. Go find somebody else and ask him the question correctly - "6.2 is what percent of 10?"

    This note must be later than when I was a kid.

     

    When I was in the 5th or 6th grade there was a convenience store down at the end of the road, about half a mile. And about halfway between my house and there lived a man in a wheelchair. And he would sit out at the edge of the road until a kid come by, and he would give him some money and send him to the store to bring him back a pack of cigarettes and a loaf of bread and a pack of Bologna. And for running this fair and (ERRAND, get the peanut butter out your ears otto) the man would give you a dime. Never heard of anybody taking his money and not coming back. Christmas that year I went down to the same convenience store where I had been buying cigarettes for this man all summer, and I bought a five pack of Tampa Nugget cigars for my father's Christmas present. I was 11 years old. They had no problem selling me cigarettes and cigars. I didn't need no note.
