    Snail (Snell) always falls apart whenever the bats start cracking, same way with Glassjaw (Glasnow). Only difference is that Glassjaw will claim a convenient  injury while Snail just acts like an ass and hits the batter that started the cracking of the bats.

     

    BTW - I started calling Snell Snail before the pitch clock was ever adopted, he took his time to finally deliver the pitch. His walking around the mound, kicking the mound dirt was way past the usual stuff. Then, finally, he'd throw the ball....only to get it whacked out of the park. 

     

    A bunch of Ex-Rays on the Dodgers. Don't care for any of them.

     

    Hope the Blue Jays take the title in 4 games and stomp the Dodgers in every one of them.

     

    I guess I just like the players on the Toronto side better

     

    Hopefully the new owner of the Rays will put the team on a tract back to the Series. I'm looking forward to being a Rays fan again,

     

    Go Toronto...Eh

    Do you have a printer?

    I used to have a printer but never used it and the $30++ ink either dried up or got clogged. Got tired of buying ink to print something every blue moon. Gave it to my gal who gave it to me to begin with.

     

    My gal does a lot of craft work that requires the use of printers. If I need something printed, I'll send it to her printer and print it. So no, I don't have a printer.

    Hi point carbine

    Forgot to add - There is a special tear down tool that comes with the carbine that looks sort of like a small bottle opener. DO NOT throw this away. It makes the removal of some of the parts MUCH easier to remove and replace during disassemble/reassembly.

    Had one that I got in trade, pretty much the same as pictured above. It shot okay with no malfunctions although I only shot about 100 rounds through it. When I got home I went to clean/lube it up, so I looked up the basic cleaning disassembly on YouTube. WHAT???? I'm not going through all of that just to clean it.

     

    Between the disassembly/reassembly procedure and the dorky looking extended magazine, I decided to sell it and got more than I had in it.

    I hear their lifetime warranty is a very good one.

    Kinda wish I didn't sell it as it wasn't expensive and worked correctly but I'm just not a big fan of cleaning hard to work on guns.

    Are you running out to buy a glock?

    Out of all the homicides committed with handguns what percentage involve Glock switches? Almost all use of them seems to be by gang bangers too.

    The only polymer handgun I have is a S&W Shield. I do really like it. If I had to use a full size polymer I like the M&Ps better then Glocks. We carried Glocks a n d previously Sigs when I was a correctional officer. Didn't really like either but they are both solid reliable guns.

     

    Are you asking about homicides where the intended victim died after being shot by a Glock with the "switch" or unintended victims that were hit by mistake when the idiot with the "switched" Glock couldn't hit their target with a machinegun pistol and hit innocent bystanders instead?

     

    I shot a Glock 18 with a 17 round mag 20' away from a paper target. Hit the paper one time, the rest went (unintentionally) into the berm. There's simply no way to control it. Once was enough for me to see how only an idiot would want, or own, a Glock machine pistol.

    The wisdom of our original SASS Wild Bunch is obvious...if money is involved there will be cheating.  Hence, no cash prizes in SASS.

     

    It applies equally well to any sport and pastime.

     

    Yet, people still cheated. Cheated for some damn cheap trinkets, ribbons or trophies. Mainly prevalent when scoring was done by hand but I've seen other means also.

    I saw several pictures of the small piece of supposed shrapnel on the hood of the patrol car. The hood had a dent under the piece, not a big dent but an obvious dent that the shrapnel miraculously stayed in without bouncing off.

    I'll wager that it was all staged by someone with CHP and that greasehead Newsome immediately blamed the military and nearest high ranking Republican.

    Not as specific as you are.

     

    But I have noticed over the years that my dogs' eyes glow green, while feral cats in the yard seem to glow yellow.

     

    Never jack-lighted animals so haven't really seen any other species in a flashlight beam.

     

    I've heard that deer are red.

     

    The only animal that I've jack-lighted was raccoons. Their eyes mostly shined blue if only briefly.

     

     

    do you remember the last time you had duck?

    In the late 80's, I lived in an small apartment complex in Largo, Florida. Behind the apartment complex was a retention pond that was about a block long and 50' wide. It had some pretty good bass in it although I wouldn't eat the ones I caught due to the fact that it was a pond that road runoff channeled into it.

     

    Between the lake behind the complex and another nearby lake, there were about 100 Muscovy ducks living on both lakes. Muscovy ducks are (IMO) a nasty, messy duck that breeds prolifically. Anyway, a restaurant that abutted the lake at one end went belly up and a Chinese restaurant moved in. Within 2 months, there were no more Muscovy ducks anywhere to be found. I doubt if anyone actually knew what they were eating when they ordered the Peking Duck, or probably any chicken dish, at the Chinese restaurant. I never ate there.

    My brother-in-law is a duck hunter. Almost every holiday that we have spent together at his house he does duck bites on his grill. He cut the duck meat into 2" balls/cubes, marinates them in some kind of semi-spicy sauce, wraps them with bacon and toothpick and put them on the grill. They are delicious, so much so that I have to make myself only eat 8 or 9 of them.

     

    He also is a deer, hog and gator hunter. The sausage he makes with the deer and hog are excellent also. The gator tail he does much the same as the duck.

    That's it. When the Romans was making roads, it was so long ago the dinosaurs had not yet turned into petroleum. So they couldn't use asphalt and their roads lasted longer.

     

    Besides the fact that the road in the post is made of concrete, Romans didn't salt their roads either. Salt and poorly sealed concrete don't play well together.

    If someone GAVE YOU a new gun

    Would you sell it cheaply? It's a $600 MSRP gun, and you have exactly $0 in it, so you can sell it for $250 and make a profit. Would you sell it cheaply? Or would you have to get the $600 that it's "worth"?

     

    If someone had a gun that you wanted, and it was brand new, and they were selling it for less than half MSRP, would you buy it? Or would you figure it was stolen, or there was something seriously wrong with it -so you would be afraid to touch it?

     

    Question #1 - I would not expect to get retail value for even an unfired gun is the gun was free to me. I would try to get at least 75% of going price but would more than likely use it for trade bait.

     

    Question #2 - Sometimes the seller is unaware of the going rate, sometimes they're in hard times and need the money, sometimes you're about to get ripped off for a gun that has major problems and sometimes the gun may be stolen. Really depends upon the venue in which the gun is presented, the gut feeling that you sense and whether my freedom is worth saving a few bucks has it's factors. If in doubt, take it to an FFL and have it checked. If the seller balks, the buyer walks.
