  1. I'm a bit puzzled. Has Father Kit been kidnapped? Or did Father Kit kidnap somebody? And if that's what happened, who did he snatch?
  2. That whole article must be a lie. Everyone knows that American troops will not fire on Americans. You hear that all the time. When the orders come down to do THIS to the civilian population and do THAT to the stadium population, and if the civilian population does not let you do it, shoot them - everybody knows that the American troops will refuse to shoot. Everybody knows that.
  3. Have to be later than that. The Lewis gun wasn't designed until 1911.
  4. The Navy mostly has ships. PT boats are boats. Submarines are boats. Are landing craft boats? I think they are but don't know.
  5. While they do not fly around the equator, they fly over London, because they see Big Ben. They fly over Paris because they see the Eiffel Tower. They fly over Germany because they danced together over the beautiful Blue Danube. They fly over Arabia. Somebody saw them flying over the Mediterranean, and called it back in to the Planet. They fly over the Himalayas, where he comments that they're the tallest mountains in the world. So if they're flying above them she should have no oxygen to breathe. They fly over the Golden Gate bridge. So while they didn't do the 24,000 miles around the equator, they also didn't just fly around the North Pole. In the comic books he would wrap whoever he was carrying - usually Lois or Jimmy - in his cape. His cape, as the rest of his costume, is made from the Kryptonian blanket he was wrapped in as a baby, and therefore it is impervious to any damage, and apparently prevents windburn and freezing from flying very high. But he didn't wrap up the little girl. I forgot, they also flew down the center of the Grand Canyon.
  6. I wonder what that critter is? It looks like a rodent of some sort. But every rodent that I have ever looked at their mouth - their teeth are flat. They're not round and pointed like fangs. They're flat and sharp like chisels.
  7. You and me both Pat. I've got three iron skillets - an 8 inch, a 10 inch, and a 12 inch. And I just went and looked. All three of them have a ring around the bottom. I knew the two big ones did but I wasn't sure about the little one. But it's there. Never knew why before. Thought maybe it was like those guys guarding the bench. Tradition. BUT WE'VE ALWAYS MADE THEM THAT WAY.
  8. Do y'all have preserves? As I say, we have three types. Jelly, which is made from fruit juice. As you can see through the jar, there's nothing in there except sweetened thickened fruit juice. No seeds, no lumps. Jam which is made from fruit pulp. As you can see here it is thicker than jelly, and has little bitty teeny pieces of fruit. And preserves which has got big chunks of fruit in it. In the case of strawberry. I prefer preserves over jam, and until I started looking just now I didn't even know they made strawberry jelly.
  9. What is jelly in Australia? Here in the states we have basically three types of fruit flavored spread that goes on toast. One is jelly, which is made solely from fruit juice. Generally all we have is apple jelly or grape jelly, but I suppose we could have pineapple jelly. I just haven't seen it. In Britain, jelly is a gelatin dessert - what we would call jello. What is it in Oz? Do you spread pineapple jelly on your toast, or do you eat it out of a bowl with a spoon, possibly with whipped cream on it? Or is it something else entirely?
  10. I'm like the girl in that Sheldon Cooper clip. How many were there? In about 3 minutes into this clip Supes is standing there by the car while the girl is doing mechanical things. Because Clark is a wimp. And while she is figuring out what the problem is with the car he says that he's going to go see where the kid is. The kid has fallen down in the wheat field and hit his head on a rock and he's lying unconscious, and the reaper is coming. But I don't recall seeing this one, and while Supes looked like Chris Reeve, the girl did not look like Lois. And who was the little kid?
  11. I'm watching The Adventures of Superman. This one Little girl won a contest and Supes flies her around the world. As they about to leave the Planet building, he says, "We'll be back in a couple of hours". Circumference of the earth is just under 25,000 miles. So if they're going to do that in 2 hours, they're going to be flying 12,500 mph. Talk about your windburn.
  12. I bought something at Home Depot sometime back. Get up to the front with it, and see three or four people just standing there. And I'm looking around on the registers, which all appeared to be self-checkout, and one of those three or four people ask me if he could help. I asked him if any of the registers had an actual cashier and he said he'd take care of it and we went over to one of those self checkouts and he rang me up. Works for me. Strange though.
  13. Stuff a trout? Like you would stuff a turkey? Cornbread and sage and celery and chestnuts and stuff like that?
  14. Isn't that just a cure for warts in Missouri? I mean maybe it'll get rid of ghosts in Florida.
  15. Do any of you that have such a critter have a problem with getting a full ejection stroke? I don't have a bulldog. I have owned three charter arms firearms, in my lifetime, and I have not been impressed. So I shall not have a bulldog. I do, however, have a 696, which is a stainless L frame Smith & Wesson in 44 special. It is just a wee tad bit heavier than a bulldog - according to my kitchen scale just now it is 2 pounds 8 and 1/2 ounces fully loaded. But it also has a 3 inch barrel, giving it about a 2 inch ejector rod. That will not eject 44 special positively every time. So I feed mine 44 Russian. Load it just as hot, but with the shorter case we get a clean ejection stroke.
  16. Get one of those "tactical lever actions", and use it to beat to death whoever dreamed this thing up.
  17. I can hear someone talking in the background, although I cannot understand what they are saying. And then at the end of it there is a loud click. But there is no video. The entire screen stays black.
  18. I figured it was something not the sass badges. Like the dirty thirty shooting society or warthogs. But then he went and changed it from ass to sass. Got me all confuddled.
  19. Y'all seem to have misinterpreted the question. It was not whether or not the ghost would still be there. It was not whether or not the new house would be haunted. The question was whether people - you know those idiots that populate the world - would believe that the new house would still be haunted like the old one.
  20. Well, yeah. I always wake up before the dream is resolved. Kind of annoying, actually.
  21. This is not real. This was a dream I had. Somebody was murdered in the house. 10 years or so later somebody else is murdered in the house. People start talking about it being an evil house. It is haunted. Someone tries to burn it down, but the fire department saves it. They can't find any tenants that will stay more than a year. People that live there talk about furniture rearranging itself at night, and strange noises, and cold spots in various rooms. Obviously this house is haunted. And a few years later a third person is murdered in the house. If the arsonists actually succeeded in burning the house down, so now it is just a vacant lot, and they built a new house on the vacant lot, do you think that people would think the new house is haunted and evil, or would the burning it down have gotten rid of the evil of the house?
  22. I must admit to a little bit of puzzlement. If you are white lightnin, sass number 527, why would you have sass badge number 2? I thought that was US Grant's badge.
