I think it was Heinlein that said that cats are extremely funny, but they have no sense of humor.
Those people laughing at their cats in the videos will be quite surprised one day to wake up with their throats bitten out because they pissed their cats off.
"How dare this measly human laugh at me!!!!"

I don't mean for the game - jacketed is not allowed in the game.
I mean period. For any reason.
Just curious how it worked.
I have a 32 Smith & Wesson pocket pistol. I have some Pyrodex P. And I have some Berries bullets made for a 32 automatic.
Seems like as seldom as I would wish to shoot it that would work.
Obviously a jacketed bullet would not be able to carry bullet lube which would prevent the secondary job of keeping the fouling soft.

, she and her husband and another couple , she always can=me back pregnant
Call me dirty minded, but my first thought was either her husband was sterile and they would go off with the other couple and that's how she would come back pregnant - the other guy was a substitute. Or they and the other couple was swingers. Either way there was sex involved with the other couple and that's why they would go together and she would come back pregnant.
Like I say, sometimes I got a dirty dirty mind.

How long's it been since you saw 80°, Finnie? 6 months?
How long you reckon it'll be before you see it again? Another 6 months?
And yes, a little cheese would go nicely.

You be watching a show - tv or movie, doesn't matter.
And you say somebody and you think - I've seen him before. Who the hell is that?
I've just started watching PSYCH. The detective - the antagonist - is this guy.
I've seen him before. Who the hell is that?
I look him up. I read his career. Long list of movies and TV shows and - I've never seen any of them.
So I check his filmography. Luck of the Irish. That was a Disney channel special movie. Pretty stupid movie, actually. Involves a boy who was half leprechaun and he gets into an altercation with a far darrig.
THAT'S where I saw him before.

Apparently in Munchkinland she would still be considered a "little person".

Actually I don't understand how Doris was able to get an annulment. I thought to get the marriage annulled it had to have not been consummated. And she knew it had been consummated. So unless she lied...
Nowadays I don't think it matters, but in 1961 I think it mattered.

For the last week or so the temperature has been running in the high seventies/low eighties.
I just went outside wearing a pair of shorts to put some garbage in the can. I like to froze.
54° with a 17 knot North wind.
I don't know which one of you folks up north left the door open, but shut it!!!

I have a 44, which goes good with my Super Blackhawk and my 29-2.
But I need a 41 to go with my 58 and my OM Blackhawk 41.
You must have a rifle to go with your pistols. I have very few small arms I do not have long arms to match. I have 30 carbine (actually, that one is "I've got a pistol to match the rifle"), 9 mm Luger, 38/40, 44/40, 45 ACP, 45 Colt, 44 Magnum. And of course 22 long rifle. Need that 41. Why? Because I don't have one, so I need one.

but I promise you that if you fired one off the bare deck of a ship, the baseplate would slide, ruining any chance of accuracy or control.
Well, like I said - in the book they said that the mortars had not been test-fired.
So take them back to the fantail of the ship and lob a few shells out into the ocean. Not looking for accuracy. Looking to see if they work.

The bottle he had was Polar brand soda water. I spotted that because I drink Polar Seltzer.
Store brand soda pop, the way you tell which is which is the color of the label. Red is normally cola, brown is normally root beer. And blue is selzer. But for some damn reason they put soda water in light blue. And I have accidentally bought that a time or two, because they not only put it in almost the same color but they put them right next to each other. "It's not a beverage, it's a mixer." Yeah, phooey.
Polar has at least a dozen flavors of water. And they all have a different colored label. And like the store brand soda, they put soda water in a "almost the same color blue" label. I have picked it up and put it back a time or two.
Heck, you don't even have to watch it. Just look at the picture. Underneath the red rectangle you can easily see what he has. Polar club soda.

Novel. Army. Ship full of soldiers arrives in Korea with their 50 calibers still in the cosmoline, the soldiers' individual weapons had not been sighted in, and their mortars had never been test-fired.
And I had some thoughts.
Sighting in the rifles would have probably been difficult. Cleaning the machine guns during that long sea voyage would have given them something to do. And they could have at least test fired their mortars, to make sure that a shell would go thataway.
And then I wondered if you could fire the mortars from the deck of the ship.

I thought that was supposed to be "breech" baby, but otto was awful damn insistent.

I had a dream a little bit ago. My (non-existent) wife was telling me about her (non-existent) friends and their "honeymoon breach baby".
Then she asked me what a breach baby was, and while I was explaining it I did a graphic - I spread my two fingers apart like I was showing the number two.
Apparently I not only did it in my dream but I did it in my bed because I woke holding my hand like that.
Which left me wondering about that honeymoon baby. Is that because it was started on the honeymoon - and like Priscilla Presley was born 9 months to the day after the wedding? Or was that because it decided to come out and say "howdy" while on the honeymoon?
Reminded me of a Rock Hudson/Doris Day movie - LOVER COME BACK. Rock pretended to be somebody else to cause Doris to fall for him, so he may take advantage of her. And she does. Then she finds out he was lying to her. For some reason this upsets her. They both get drunk, and end up in Maryland in a motel, married. She gets it annulled, and he gets transferred from the New York office to the San Francisco office. He wrote her a letter every day for 8 months, and every one was returned unopened. Then during the 9th month, Alice (The Brady Bunch's maid) called him (she was also Doris's maid) and said that she might be stepping over the line but she figured a man needed to know when his baby was being born.
He flew back to New York and as they were pushing her into the delivery room the judge is walking along next to them performing the ceremony. He says "I now pronounce you man and wife", and they go through the door the delivery room, and an orderly out in the hall says to his buddy, "That's cutting it close".
Minor legal question here - since they were married when the baby was started, if they had not gotten married there at the end of the movie, so they were unmarried when the baby was born, would it still be legitimate? Seems like it would be to me. Any legal thoughts on that?

That was pretty good.
Would have been better if they had been able to make the computer speak English.
It's not "ah-me-god" said together quickly as one word. It's oh my God - three separate and distinct words. But maybe that's not that important to non-meat.
And it would have went a little easier to follow if the two whatever they are didn't sound so much alike.

Ignore it.
If I were to go to a coffee shop I would not talk to the barista. I will talk to the counter-funky. If I wanted a large coffee I would not get a grande or a vente or whatever the hell they call it. I would ask for a large.
And if I wanted plain coffee with cream I would order a plain coffee.
Back in the 80s I used to eat breakfast at McDonald's for about three times a week. And every time I got the same thing. The official McDonald's name was BIG BREAKFAST. But that seemed kind of stupid to me, and I always asked for scrambled eggs sausage and pancakes. Amazingly, I got what I wanted.
So the coffee shop or the hamburger stand or the donut shop or whatever can come up with these really Fancy clever names for their food, but I will still order scrambled eggs and sausage and I will still order plain coffee with some cream. Well actually I wouldn't because I don't drink cream in my coffee. But you get what I mean.
