Possibly the worst National Anthem ever
Cypress Sun replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Jimi's version was not disrespectful in any way. I don't think that Martha Reeves was trying to be disrespectful, but it was disgraceful. Hard to believe that the people that hired her, and her backup singers, had no idea that she, and the backup singers, were so terrible at their chosen profession. Sounded like a burlap bag full of caterwauling cats being dragged behind a truck. -

Fox News seems to make a big deal out of the WBA, Cunningham and Clark. Truth is that 99.99% of the US doesn't follow or watch WBA and could care less. If it wasn't for the media, no one would know who Cunningham is

I was doing electrical service work in a Ford work van that had the company's name in big 2' letters on the sides of the van.... United United United Electric Yes, there were three United's. Anyway, one of the calls was for a doorbell that wasn't working. The location was on a busy road and had a road sign that said "Gifted Psychic" in front the building which set back about 150'. I pulled up in front of the house, which was the office, got out of the truck and went to the door. When I got to the door a woman threw open the door and exclaimed "You're the electrician!" I replied back "Heyyy, you're good!" She didn't think it was funny. I replaced the pushbutton, got paid and left.

Cypress Sun replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I do like some fat back sliced, fried like bacon and eaten like bacon. Now I'm hungry....again. -
I've seen Leon Russel twice. I'm purt sure that TS cares more about his audience than Mr.Russel did at either 'performance'.

Wild Bill shot on this day in 1876
Cypress Sun replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
No one knows for certain, but from the limited research that I have done implies that the 5th card in his hand was a red queen...most likely the queen of hearts. Also on this day, Aug. 2, 1945 The beginning of the rescue of Indianapolis survivors. Rescue Navy command did not know of the ship's sinking until survivors were spotted in the open ocean three and a half days later. At 11:25 on 2 August, a PV-1 Ventura flown by Lieutenant Wilbur "Chuck" Gwinn and his copilot, Lieutenant Warren Colwell, and a crew of three other men spotted the men adrift while on a routine patrol flight.[28] Gwinn reported his findings of up to 150 men back to his base at Peleliu. He immediately dropped a life raft, other life-saving equipment and radio transmitter. All air and surface units capable of rescue operations were dispatched to the scene at once. First to arrive was Gwinn's commanding officer, Lieutenant Richard Atteberry. He and his PV-1 crew relieved Gwinn's crew, ordering them to return to base because of very low fuel. Atteberry continued to circle the area and guided the arrival on scene by an amphibious PBY-5A Catalina patrol plane flown by Lieutenant Commander (USN) Robert Adrian Marks. Marks and his flight crew spotted the survivors and dropped life rafts; one raft was destroyed by the drop while others were too far away from the exhausted crew. Against standing orders not to land in the open ocean, Marks took a vote of his crew and decided to land the aircraft in twelve-foot (3.7 m) swells. He was able to maneuver his craft to pick up 56 survivors. Space in the plane was limited, so Marks had men lashed to the wing with parachute cord. His actions rendered the aircraft unflyable. After nightfall, the destroyer escort USS Cecil J. Doyle, the first of seven rescue ships, used its searchlight as a beacon and instilled hope in those still in the water. Cecil J. Doyle and six other ships picked up the remaining survivors. After the rescue, Marks' plane was sunk by Cecil J. Doyle as it could not be recovered.[29] Many of the survivors were injured. All suffered from lack of food and water (leading to dehydration and hypernatremia; some found rations, such as Spam and crackers, among the flotsam of Indianapolis), exposure to the elements (dehydration from the hot sun during the day and hypothermia at night, as well as severe desquamation due to continued exposure to saltwater and bunker oil), and shark attacks, while some killed themselves. Other survivors were found in various states of delirium or suffered from hallucinations.[30][31] Only 316 of the 890 men set adrift after the sinking survived.[4] Two of the rescued survivors, Robert Lee Shipman and Frederick Harrison, died in August 1945. Hundreds of sharks were apparently drawn to the wreck. After picking off the dead and wounded, they began attacking survivors. The number of deaths attributed to sharks ranges from a few dozen to 150.[32] Ocean of Fear, a 2007 documentary film that was part of Discovery Channel's Shark Week, states that the sinking of Indianapolis resulted in the most shark attacks on humans in history, attributing the attacks to the oceanic whitetip shark species. Tiger sharks may also have killed some sailors. The same show attributed most of the deaths on Indianapolis to exposure, salt poisoning, and thirst/dehydration, with the dead being dragged off by sharks.[33] -
Which one of you Idaho cowboys is this?
Cypress Sun replied to Three Foot Johnson's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I really wish (for him) that his identity would not have been published. -

Cypress Sun replied to Three Foot Johnson's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I saw this on a news site in the Tampa area. Not much was said about the guy with the pistol that may have prevented the killer from further shooting. https://baynews9.com/fl/tampa/ap-top-news/2026/08/01/multiple-people-injured-in-southern-idaho-shooting -

Ain't no problem that a man can't fix with a Colt .45 or a 30.06. My Dad used to say that all the time. -
The resemblance is astounding!

Informing wife of her age category
Cypress Sun replied to Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
You can always backtrack and tell her that no one will notice if she shoots in the Cowgirl category. If that doesn't work, be glad it's still summertime and warm....well, hotter than hell where you live. Could be worse with a cold wind blowing and all! -
Daylight savings time permanent?

Not only that^^^^but it'd be a REAL pain in the arse! -
Daylight savings time permanent?
Cypress Sun replied to Capt. James H. Callahan's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
My understanding is that if and when the bill passes all of the voting and hurdles, it will be up to the individual States to adopt DST as a standard. Each State, except the ones that already have chosen DST or Std time, can opt out of permanent DST and can use Std time permanently but not both. -

Okay, thanks! I thought maybe it was Clays (not Clays Universal or Clays International). -

Hodgdon Clays? I haven't seen Hodgdon Clays for sale anywhere in years. -
He already has the vinegar, so piss and vinegar should be easy if it works.

Unique is available at various reloading retailers including Powder Valley and other....it ain't cheap though. Trailboss has sporadically showed up recently also....it ain't cheap either. Check reloading retailers like Powder Valley, Natchez, Brownells, Midway, Midsouth Shooters Supply and many others. Beware of the scammer reloading websites that won't take credit cards and will only take electronic payment.
