Finally an answer! Why Chicagoans do not put ketchup on hotdogs
Alpo replied to Pat Riot's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Why is it split? -
If it wasn't a Ruger. If I got a Smith & Wesson double action revolver in 10 mm, I would get another cylinder - probably one in 357 - and have it rechambered to 38/40. This would give me a lovely gun with two cylinders that I could fire three different cartridges in. That would be neat. But unless they have changed their policy, Ruger will not sell you a cylinder. So finding a spare GP100 357 cylinder would be difficult.

Somehow I think it's a camera trick. I'm supposing that's a hot dog in a bun. In my experience, if you got a hot dog that burnt, it would have split the casing at the end. The rounded end would no longer be lovely rounded. And I can't imagine how you could burn a piece of bread that black and still be able to see texture. Camera trickery.

The Revenge Flying Beast That Completely Fooled Germany
Alpo replied to Sedalia Dave's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I enjoyed that video. It was a great story. The title, however, makes absolutely no sense. If they were disguised as a German plane, I could see where that would fool Germany. If they flew all by their lonesome to Berlin, to bomb Berlin because the Germans bombed London, I could see where that would be revenge. But neither of those things happened. And I have no idea what they're talking about with the "flying beast". But as I say, title aside, that was a good video. -
And big hands.

I trashed my knee one time. Was out for 3 weeks from workman's comp, and when I came back in I was on light duty. Boss calls me into the office about a week later and says, "can you pass a piss test?" I told him I could, and he asked about the painkillers for my knee, and I told him I wasn't taking any. I was taking Tylenol. He says, "good. Tomorrow you're going to North Carolina." We were doing a job at this location, and our crew got caught in the random piss test. And failed. So they were sent home. The next day a different crew showed up and as soon as they drove through the gate they were told to pee in a cup. And then they went home. I guess if I had flunked that would have been "three strikes you're out" and we would have lost the contract.

I had three kids in the same school. And I told them. If you get in a fight, win. If that means you got to pick up a stick and hit him upside the head, pick up a stick. And you two - if you see that your brother or sister is losing, you best jump in on his side. Cuz if I find out that one of y'all got beat up and the others just stood there and watched it, I'm going to tear you a new one. Y'all are family. And it's y'all against everybody else. I completely understand and agree with - "your son was in a fight" did you win? I would rather that my kids did not get into a fight. But if they do get into a fight, they are supposed to win. By any means necessary.

A bear broke into a home in Vail, Colorado and proceeded to “play” the piano. The whole scene was captured on the family’s home surveillance camera. Katie Hawley came home to find her kitchen and living room trashed. Hawley assumed she was the victim of a robbery and called the police. Once in the home, the Vail police suspected the intruder was an animal and asked to review surveillance footage. To everyone’s surprise, a large black bear appeared in the footage and seemed to enjoy playing the piano and made off with some food from the freezer. It is believed that the bear got in through an open window, according to local reports. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=iTPuZYVuGd0 Well shucks. It has been blocked from embedding. Got to go to YouTube to watch it.

I have taken a few, in my lifetime. This or that job. But this was new to me. Online story, and the high school athlete is taking one. When he goes into the stall to pee in the cup, the water in the bowl is "a bright neon blue". I assume that is to prevent him from diluting his piss with toilet bowl water in the attempt to mask his drug use. But in all the tests I've taken I've never seen that. Has anybody ever taken one where they have colored the water in the toilet so you couldn't put some of that in your urine? Wondering if that's a real thing or if the author just made it up.

Who is he, and why would I be putting anything with zip ties in his panel?

I wonder why nobody blames America? They blame us for everything else. And if my understanding is correct, the Hindenburg was full of hydrogen because America would not let Nazi Germany have any helium.

Did you notice that The Moon is a prequel to one of his juveniles. The Rolling Stones. In Moon there's this little girl. "Redhead, no cushions". "She's still a boy". Hazel Mead. Hazel eventually marries into the Stone family. But even though she is only 11 or 12 years old she is one of the founding fathers of Luna Free State. Signed the Declaration of Independence and everything. The Rolling Stones is about a three generation family. Grandma Hazel, her son Roger and his wife, and their four children - the daughter Mead, the twins Casper and Pollux, and the baby boy Buster. I say baby but he's about five I think. The twins are 15 or 16. I don't know if the daughter is older or younger than them. Don't recall. There's a part where the entire family is wearing their spacesuits, standing at the airlock waiting to go on the surface. Some tourists are coming in, and one of the female tourists says to her husband - "look at that little man over there. He's wearing a gun!!!" And Mama asked Grandma why she wore a gun. And Grandma Hazel said she wore a gun because it was her right. She knew it was her right to carry a gun because she put it in the Constitution. Then we had a sequel - The Cat Who Walked Through Walls. I guess that would be a sequel. Grandma Hazel, some two or three hundred years later.

Am I the only one that does not imagine myself getting in a gunfight every time I walk out the door? I have been carrying a gun for 40 years. I have never pulled it on anyone. I have never had to shoot a criminal. I don't expect to get in a gunfight with a Mexican cartel or mutant zombie bikers. But that appears to be the thoughts of everyone that's responded to this thread. The only reason they carry a gun is to defend themselves against people that are attacking them. If I'm walking around in the woods, I've got a gun. If I shoot a rattlesnake, my gun is now one round shy of being loaded. Taking out a loose round and topping it off just makes all kinds of sense to me. And it doesn't matter whether it is a revolver or an automatic. I like to carry a loaded gun. If I fired one round - whether it a tin can or rattlesnake or a mugger - I want to reload the gun. Yes, trying to reload a magazine with loose rounds in the middle of a firefight with a bunch of gang bangers would probably be a bad idea. But that was not the point of the question. But it sure seems like everybody thought it was.

Actually, mine is a PSP. It takes a slightly different magazine than a p7 M8. They have not been made for many a year. And yes, Colt Ace 22 magazines are on up there too. Look
