Never heard the term used in that manner.
When I hear the word "groceries", I think of purchasing commodities at a supermarket, not an action of ingesting food.

Tojo or Hitler wouldn't have stopped at just two, if they'd won the atom bomb race.
We wouldn't have either, but we only had two bombs ready to go. Had Japan waited much longer to surrender, there'd be at the very least a third city added to the list of nuked cities.

think model 34 kit gun are in J frame round butt
The model 34-1 is a J - frame. Model 34 (no dash) are I - frames.
From Wiki -
The Smith & Wesson Model 34 Kit Gun is a small, 6-shot, .22 Long Rifle, double-action revolver made by Smith & Wesson. It came with a 2-inch or 4-inch barrel and has adjustable-sights. It was designed to be easily packed in a hunting or fishing "kit" for small game hunting, plinking, pest control and self defense.
History
Smith and Wesson Model 22/32 Kit Gun
In 1911, the Kit Gun line began as the 22/32 an I-Frame, .22LR, 6-shot revolver. These are sometimes called the "pre-war" models.[1] In 1953, an improved model was introduced, the "22/32 Kit Gun, Model of 1953”. In 1958, Smith and Wesson renamed it the Model 34. This production line continued until 1960, when it was redesigned using the slightly larger J-frame and marketed as the model 34–1.[1] The Model 34 continued to be manufactured until 1991.[1]

Those look quite large for I frame grips assuming that the paper towels are the normal 1/2 size towels. Very hard to tell without seeing the inside of the grips. The grips need to be for a Model 34 (NOT 34-1) kit gun.
Thanks though.

I kinda think of it as The Day That Saved Japan. If it hadn't worked and the Allies had to carry out Operation Downfall, Japan would likely have had 3,000,000 to 5,000,000, some say up to 10,000,000) Japanese deaths from direct military a tion. Add in millions more from disease and starvation.
I don't have a problem with the use of the weapon against Japan, or Germany if it had been available, to end the war.
Although I made these numbers up, I imagine that had we had to invade Japan that every 10th American person you have ever met since 1945 would have never been born and probably every 5th Japanese would probably not be here since 1945.

And in less than a month, Hiroshima and Nagasaki would be a smoking pile of rubble.
Really wish that the need for an atomic bomb had never been needed...but it was.
Americans responded to the need for a war ending weapon and succeeded.
I there was ever a #1 world changing event, this was it. The world was forever changed in slightly over the time it takes to split an atom.

Might want to add 'NO SHIPPING" to the original post.

I've never been a honey person but every once in a while I'll have a taste of it.
The best honey I've ever had was back in the 60's when much of Florida was a giant orange grove. The honey made from orange grove bees was the best of all. There used to be a local place called Orange Blossom Groves that sold honey, it was pretty good but the best honey was from the no-name bee keepers in Polk County.
Boy, that was a long time ago now.

Hmmm.
A roach clip with a digital thermometer.
I do have to say, that roach is undercooked at only 134F though.

Spielberg and Bruce
Jaws still rates as the movie that scared me the most. Saw it at the Capitol Theater in downtown Clearwater when it first came out.
Scared the hell out of me. The 1,000's of times that I went swimming in the Gulf of Mexico....who knew!!?
I talked my step-father into seeing it the next day. He wasn't happy when I busted out laughing when he jumped up out of his seat during the scene where the shark bites the guys leg off and loudly said "OH MY GOD".
Still don't like swimming in salt water.....

Honey is a common source of botulism poisoning in infants and children less than 12 months of age. Older children and adults are less likely to suffer the symptoms of botulism.
I like honey and eat it often. I am 81 years old.
Do your research and proceed safely.
A fairly decent article concerning honey below.

I actually did see this on a stall wall.

So, costume, holsters, gun belts, guns and gun modifications must be period correct and use period correct materials. Carts, immune? Whoda thunk it! Then again, been a loooong time since I shot a match. Live long & prosper!
Guns, holsters, gun belts and gun modifications must conform to the rules and may, or may not, use period correct materials. There have never been cart material/appearance/construction rules that I'm aware of.
There are many items directly involved in a SASS match that are NOT period correct...that blue plastic thing that beeps for one!

I understand that pure honey is the only food that never goes bad.

I didn't like climbing 50 years ago!! Dang sure don't want to now🤣.
My hooks and belt are still in the garage!
I don't blame you. Climbing a pole that's been spiked 200 times invites blood.... lot's of blood and lots of picking big splinters out of one's body.
Thanks but no....Hell No.

I was always told the closed face reels were more reliable but the open faced always seemed to work better for me. With the closed face I always seemed to end up with a knotted tangled mess
This^^^^
I hated the Zebco closed face reels. I know a retention pond that has at least 2 of them in it. Probably pretty deep in the muck after 55 years though.
Edit - That lake has one of these in it also....
