That's interesting. I thought Winchester was the only one that used that "double barreled" firing pin. It's an excellent idea. Hits the rim in two places at the same time. That way if there's a spot with no priming mixture, the odds of there being another spot under the other side are 20 zillion to one, so you have a much better chance of getting a fire instead of a misfire.

I never used any Vaqueros. I prefer Blackhawks. I like sights I can see. I sent this pair of Bisley Blackhawks off to West Fargo to have old model actions put in them. As others have said, it's been a while since I've shot a match. But these are still one of my favorite sets of pistols.

You are driving down the four-lane highway. Traffic is backed up for two blocks away from the intersection. There is, however, a right turn lane. And you get into the right turn lane and bypass all the backup traffic, but when you get up to the intersection you discover that is not the intersection you wanted. You need the next exit. Legally, can you merge back in to the ongoing traffic? Or do you have to get off, because you are in that right turn lane, and then get back on the four-lane highway? I have seen people miss their exit, suddenly realize it and drive across the shoulder to get on the exit. I have seen people get in the exit, and then realize that's not the exit they want and go driving across the shoulder to get back on the road. I believe both of these things are illegal. Frequently you will see signs on the road - RIGHT LANE MUST TURN RIGHT. If such a sinus present, I believe it would be illegal to merge back into the ongoing traffic. But if there is no such sign, could you legally go back onto the highway when you realize you have got into the wrong exit lane?

The way my mind works. I saw a cartoon. The Pumpkineaters, and the missus is worried that the other children will make fun of the new baby because they named him Peter Peter. This reminded me of Bones, and Booth shot a clown on an ice cream truck, so they made him see a shrink. The shrink was British, and when he would introduce himself he would say his name was Gordon, Gordon Wyatt. At first Booth thought it was like Bond, James Bond. But he wasn't giving you his last name. He was giving you his first name. Finally Booth asks about that and finds out that that is his actual name. Both his first name and his middle name are Gordon. So this gets me thinking about the stupid things people name their children, thinking it's cool, and the children have to live with it. That got me thinking about biracial children. Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and Tracy in one of his "I don't want a colored guy marrying my white daughter" arguments asks about the children. He says that the man and the woman could be going into this with their eyes open, sure they can accept the criticism of their neighbors for being a mixed racial couple, but the poor kid ain't got no say in the matter. After thinking of black/white kids for a while, I thought of Eurasian - which shows that it's not only Americans that are racist because eurasians are despised in every Oriental country - and then half breeds here in America. Indian/non Indian. And that got me thinking about the movie Big Jake. One of the bad guys was a half breed. And he chases the little boy into the barn, where the little boy stabs him in the face with a pitchfork. He starts to shoot the little boy, and Richard Boone yells at him. "BREED!! He ain't no good to us dead." And then I wondered. They grab the kid. They ride off into the desert. You suppose they could kill him and bury him in a dry wash, and still collect the ransom? Start with a stupid name and end up with murdering a kidnap victim. But everything in that chain of thought makes perfect sense, and one leads to the next one totally logically.

I agree. I've always thought of Chief Wiggum as a well-rounded man.

Yeah I've been trying to figure that one out. I think it is either Life is unfair because his big floppy boobies are out where everyone can see them while hers are covered up Or Life is unfair because a guy that looks like that has got a good looking girl Pretty sure it's one or the other Just thought of another one She's thinking life is unfair because his are bigger than hers

There's this movie. Made in America. This pilot gets recruited by the CIA to take pictures of suspected Russian sites in South America. While he's down there he gets recruited by the Colombians to smuggle cocaine into America. He is originally from Louisiana, but the CIA relocates him to some itty bitty town in Arkansas. And because of the drug smuggling he is making bunches and bunches of money. There are three banks in the town - there was originally only one but because of all the money he kept needing to store they built two more - and he's got $10 million dollars in One bank and 15 million in another bank and 13 million and a third bank, and he's got 20 million in a bank in Miami, and he was burying duffel bags full of money in the backyard. He had Samsonite suitcases full of money stuck in the hanger. And he kept doing it. He probably had 150 million in cash, and he kept running the drugs. You hear about these big drug dealers from Mexico and Colombia, and they're sending all these drugs up here to America and they're making all these millions of dollars. And their main problem is where to put the money. And I figure if I had 150 million, I would quit. If I can't find any place to hide my money, why would I keep making money? So if you were making vast quantities of money, could you quit? It would not have to be illegal either. I read one time where Eddie Murphy was paid $30 million dollars to make this one movie. 30 million dollars. I wouldn't make any more movies after that. I'm pretty sure I can live quite well on 30 million dollars for the rest of my life.

Could have been worse. In Riley's Luck, Val got two guys to hold full mop buckets - wooden mop buckets - up against the ceiling with the mop handle. So instead of making a little bit of mess on the floor, it would have soaked them and maybe cracked their skulls when the mop buckets fell.

Actually I was wondering if he opened the letter. I don't expect to get someone else's mail in my mailbox, and I frequently open the envelope before looking at who it's addressed to. And a couple of times it has not been addressed to me.

Thank you, thank you. I'll be here all week. Try the veal. And don't forget to tip your waitress.

I was curious so I looked that plane up. It's a 1979 Cessna 182Q Skylane that was owned by a guy in New Jersey. Until 2005. When he sold it to a man in Holland. He owned it until 2012, when he sold it to a man in Finland. Who painted it white and took the boots off. That's where it's currently at. OH is the country code for Finland.

She's got three brothers that's pretty quick with guns. And one of them has a very short fuse.

I've been thinking about dead minnows. I have never had anchovies on pizza. I don't think anybody I know has ever had anchovies on pizza. But we all know it is nasty, because we've heard all our lives about how nasty anchovies is on pizza. One of these days I'm going to have to order one just to find out. It's like coke with real sugar. I keep hearing how wonderful Coke is with real sugar. How much better it is than that nasty stuff with high fructose corn syrup. Bought a bottle of Mexican Coke one time. Two and a half dollars for a 10 oz bottle, while a 12 oz can of regular Coke was 50 cents. The coke with the high fructose corn syrup was better. Why was it better? Because that's all I had ever had. So that's what I was used to. But I have heard for decades - not just for years FOR DECADES - about how much better Coke with pure cane sugar is. Pure propaganda. What tastes better is what you are used to. I've had people bad mouth barbecue Pizza. It ain't bad. I've had people bad mouth Mexican pizza, or taco pizza if you prefer. That also ain't bad. And Hawaiian pizza is pretty damn good. I believe most people that dislike pineapple on Pizza have never tried pineapple on pizza, but are running solely on what they've heard everybody else say.

How much leeway does the judge have? Does he have to abide by sentencing guidelines? Let's say armed robbery first offense is 5 to 7 years. Can he sentence you to 15? Originally, when I come up with this, I was wondering how much he could sentence you for contempt. You're found guilty and the judge sentences you to 3 to 5 years in the state prison, and you asked how much he was paid to come up with that sentence, and he slaps you with contempt. Could he give you 10 more years for contempt?

In English - as opposed to in American - what we call a bathrobe is frequently referred to as a "toweling robe", because it is made of terry cloth, like a towel. I like the way he's holding his knife. I have seen Brits hold their knife that way, occasionally, in movies. But I have never seen anyone do it in real life. He's gripping it like it's a pencil and he's going to write with the blade.

My first driver's license - this would be 1970 - was paper. Thick paper, but still just paper. Not even cardboard. The thickness of a social security card. And it had my information typed on it. No photograph.

Wonder if Pizza Hut still has their wonderful guarantee? Pizza Hut used to have a guarantee - your order is correct or it is free. So they brought my order one time, and it was wrong. I called them up and told them that my order was wrong and that they needed to try again. So the delivery guy shows up and he gives me the pizzas and he turns around to leave. And I called him back. WHAT ABOUT MY MONEY? I mean the guarantee was your order is right or it's free, and it wasn't right, so it ought to be free, so they need to refund my money. He explained to me that the original delivery - the order that was wrong - that was the one that was free. I did not have to pay for that stuff that I did not order and did not want. But this stuff he had brought just now - yeah I had to pay for it. I wrote Pizza Hut a letter - this is how long ago this was. No internet. I wrote a letter. And they rollWROTE back to me explaining that yes the delivery guy had called it right, and that's what the guarantee meant. And here's a couple of coupons for free pizza. Which I threw in the garbage and I have not eaten Pizza Hut in 30 years.
