Yes, and as previously stated, the Allies called them "potato mashers."

Hmmm. Granted, I'm a right handed shooter, but my old 12ga win Model 50 is one my parents got from a neighbor (used) and gave me as a Christmas present. I love that shotgun and I marvel still at its reliability, intricacy and its quality, not to mention it's sentimental hold on my heart.

Don't overthink this, boys.
This ain't a "story;".it's a joke.
Take a deep breath.
You guys gotta think ahead. Bracko is all but, GONE!

>>>>. Today's Lesson in American History <<<<<
The two most important events in all of history were the 'invention of beer' and the 'invention of the wheel.' Beer required grain and that was the beginning of agriculture.
Neither the glass bottle nor aluminum can were invented yet, so while our early humans were sitting around waiting for them to be invented, they just stayed close to the brewery. That's how villages were formed.
The wheel was invented to get man to the beer and vice versa. These two were the foundation of modern civilization and together were the catalyst for the splitting of humanity into two distinct subgroups:
1. Liberals
2. Conservatives
Some men spent their days tracking and killing animals to BBQ at night while they were drinking beer. This was the beginning of what is known as the 'conservative movement.'
Other men who were less skilled at hunting (called 'vegetarians' which was an early human word meaning 'bad hunter') learned to live off the Conservatives by showing up for the nightly BBQ's and doing the sewing, fetching, and hairdressing. This was the beginning of the 'liberal movement.'
Some of these liberal men evolved into women. Others became known as 'girlie-men.' Some noteworthy liberal achievements include the domestication of cats, the invention of group therapy, group hugs, and the concept of democratic voting to decide how to divide the meat and beer that Conservatives provided.
Over the years Conservatives came to be symbolized by the largest, most powerful land animal on earth, the elephant. Liberals are symbolized by the jackass for obvious reasons.
Modern Liberals like 'light beer' (with lime added), but most prefer white wine or imported bottled water. They eat raw fish but like their beef well done. Sushi, tofu, and French food are standard liberal fare. Another interesting evolutionary side note: Many liberal women have higher testosterone levels than their men.
Most college professors, social workers, personal injury attorneys, journalists, film makers in Hollywood, group therapists and community organizers are liberals. Liberals meddled in our national pastime and invented the 'designated hitter' rule because it wasn't fair to make the pitcher also bat.
Conservatives drink real beer. They eat red meat and still provide for their women. Conservatives are members of the military, big game hunters, rodeo cowboys, lumberjacks, construction workers, firemen, medical doctors, police officers, engineers, corporate executives, athletes, airline pilots, and generally anyone who works productively. Conservatives who own companies hire other Conservatives who want to work for a living.
Liberals produce little or nothing. They like to govern the producers and decide what to do with the production. Liberals believe Europeans are more enlightened than Americans. That is why most of the liberals remained in Europe when Conservatives were coming to America. They crept in after the 'wild west' was tamed and created a business of trying to get more for nothing.
This ends today's lesson in world history. It should be noted that a liberal may have a momentary urge to angrily respond to this post.
A Conservative will simply laugh and be so convinced of the absolute truth of this history that it will be shared immediately to other true believers and to just piss-off more Liberals.
And there you have it. Let your next action reveal your true self, I'm going to grab a few beers and grill some steaks!
Merry Christmas, One and All..!!!
AND, Happy New Year!!

The Sierra Club and the U. S. Forest Service were presenting an alternative to the Wyoming ranchers for controlling the coyote population. It seems that after years of the ranchers using the tried and true method of shooting or trapping the predators, the Sierra Club had a "more humane" solution to this issue. What they were proposing was for the animals to be captured alive. The males would then be castrated and let loose again. This was ACTUALLY proposed by the Sierra Club and by the U. S. Forest Service.
All of the ranchers thought about this amazing idea for a couple of minutes. Finally an old fellow wearing a big cowboy hat in the back of the conference room stood up, tipped his hat back and said, "Son, I don't think you understand our problem here. These coyotes ain't fxxxin' our sheep; they're eatin' 'em!"
The meeting never really got back to order.

You should NEVER use smokeless loads in a firearm which was not designed to handle smokeless loads.

I bought 1000 new .38Special Starline cases on Gunbroker about 3 years ago for $50.00, shipped, BuyItNow price. Turns out the mother of an Afghan-deployed Marine was selling them for her deployed daughter who asked Mom to liquidate a bunch of her possessions. I sent her $215 for the brass, and for shipping. I got a nice letter from her dad, a retired Marine sergeant. He included in the box, 3 boxes of loaded .38 cartridges his daughter bought prior to deciding to reload her own.
Dumb old me? I sure as heck didn't feel like it. Her dad's letter was very nice. I sure hope she made it back home okay.
I buy stuff on eBay, mostly backup Win97 parts. Sometimes you can get good deals, but if you're serious about buying them (unless you lay in a large going-in bid), you have to haunt that particular auction, being ready to place a higher bid, in case someone tries to outbid you at the last minute. There's just some stuff you don't want to let get by, such as a brand new, unused, fully assembled factory Win97 Bolt and Carrier for about $35.00. I figured that auction would end at about $150.00.

When I open the SASS website, it works just fine; when I click on "Forums", I get a warning from Norton that there is a problem with this site's security certificate, and recommending that I do not open the site.
Is there something happening here?
LL
I THINK that if you go into your Norton settings, that you should be able to eliminate the issue by lowering, or dialing back, the Norton security settings. If your Norton software reports home while you are online, Norton may have automatically raised your security settings for you. There may also be a way in the Norton software on your device, to tell it to ignore certain sites.
I don't know if this will work for you, but it would not hurt you to give it a look.

-- DITTO --Awards for zero accomplishment, another way to spell it-- SOCIALISM!
Blackfoot
Socialism is a stopping point on the road to Communism.
It's also a direct threat to our robust Constitution and our Democracy.
Make no mistake. Socialism is also a tool of entrenched socialists to chip away at our way of life and to subjugate and guarantee votes from a population intoxicated by government handouts.

I have seen it referenced only a couple of times myself, most notably in Waterman Ormsbeys book on the 1st thru passage on the Butterfield Overland route, which are actually his dispatches covering the trip west, to the newspaper he wrote for in St Louis? I believe. I have seen it mentioned in one other publication on the Butterfield, which is locked away in my books on the Butterfield. It is incredible country the trail passes thru here in the Southwest! I have traveled much of the trail from west Texas to Arizona. 40 miles in that desert during summer will kill horses,in shape or otherwise!
Thanks very much. The only legitimate work where I've seen this "greaser," term referenced, is in a book called "Indian Slave Trade in the Southwest," by Lynn Bailey. I believe this was published sometime in the 1970s. In this book, the reference was to the French and Spanish influence in New Mexico, wherein virtual slaves of Indian and Spanish descent ("Mexicans") had to follow along next to two-wheel oxcarts and constantly apply some kind of organic grease to the axle and wheel assembly to keep the wheel and axle from burning up.

Horses were not run, and oxen or sometimes mules were used in the desert crossings on the Butterfield trail in this part of southern New Mexico. There is a term for the station hand that tended to the greasing at stage stops.... They were often referred to as greasers, and they were often Mexican, hence the derogatory term still around today.
The stage stop distances were based on climate, terrain and water, 40 miles would be a long stretch, hopefully flat country. High desert and the Rocky Mountain region stops were much nearer to one another.
Captain Clark,
I've only seen that "greaser" explanation in one obscure reference. Out of curiosity, where did you see it?

When we were actively showing horses, the 1st thru 5th got awards. I personally believe that the shows should have awarded only the top 3. I believe the same should be done for CAS matches....top 3 only.
I do like the idea of nice pin for all participants to commemorate that specific event. But then, a name-tag-pin with Alias, date and other pertinent information serves that dual purpose.

The guy who came up with this theory probably received a $500,000.00 Federal grant for it, partied for a couple years, then during the last week before delivering the finished work, got high and desperately fabricated the thesis out of a series of profound daydreams.

What is SOS?
yuk yuk :-)
My dad was a career Army officer.
When we were little, He'd often whip the stuff up on Saturday morning (if he didn't go in), roll our asses out of bed for breakfast saying we were having SOS for breakfast, only he'd say what it was. We'd scramble in there and wolf it down and ask for seconds. We didn't know it as "SOS;" we never caught any flak for using its given name. :-)

Cultivate it; don't mess around cleaning yer ears. A little dirt and water is good.
If it grows too long, braid it.

Cat - Toys for Tots is a Christmas thing. Why would they be having it in May?
That should be the first clue that the chainmail is bogus.
I think the story is true, minus the last paragraph/section wherein the perp "falls off the curb."
The article I posted is dated May 20, 2011.
When the event actually occurred is unimportant now. I posted this as a humorous diversion. Apparently this guy is a thief and went from the frying pan into the fire, when he stabbed the Marine in a failed effort to get away after being caught shoplifting. Maybe I should get that fact checking software, but if it comes to all that, I'm gonna lose interest rapidly.
