You can't make this stuff up
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Okie Sawbones, SASS #77381's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
As more info comes out about the Chiefs parade: When asked what led to the fight, one of those charged with shooting said, “He was staring at me.” Nope, you can’t make this stuff up. -
Wonder if he still carries a Beretta 92

Heavy sigh. Sometimes it’s just time to let a franchise die a natural death. -
Trying to be a Gentleman

I see this a lot on this forum. Why is it “the” wife in instead of “my” wife? Sounds like she’s an employee like, “the” maid. -
That’s Biden, back when he said he was in boot camp.

I used to shoot Frontiersman a lot. A pard wanting to sell his Dragoon let me use it for a match. By the 5th stage my thumb, wrist and forearm were so tired and aching, I could barely complete the string. Cool pistol, but not for competition, so I passed.

I love the ‘62 Ford hardtops and convertibles.

Yes Yes

Awesome cars, especially the Rebel. Dull styling killed them. https://www.hemmings.com/stories/article/1957-rambler-rebel-2#:~:text=To cut to the chase,Chrysler 300C ran 7.6 seconds.

Oops! I read too quickly

I thought the “Tri-5” Chevys are 55-57. The ‘58 was significantly different in appearance.

“Posey” isn’t the “P” word I’m thinking of…

This ^^ Chrysler is a close second.

Dad was VQ-1 pilot 1958-1960 and is why we sailed to Iwakuni. Small world.

Would you drive over/through them?
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Doubtful, especially with a car like Calvin’s dad. At best all that would happen is they shear off at the level of the frame. Not much traction available when the weight of the car is spread out over a mattress of snow. Most likely the car would build up a damn of packed, heavy snow in front. Can’t power thru that. -

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Snowmen are possible because of wet, heavy snow. No damage to the car unless you slam into them. Either way you’d get hi-centered with a lot of packed snow underneath. Then you’re stuck good. -
A Sad Day In Our History

Palmetto State Armory is just as bad. Had to move them into the spam blocker. -
I logged 11 days aboard the troopships USS General Mann and 8 days aboard the USS General Mitchell before I was 8 years old - as one of two-dozen or so dependents. The other passengers were Marines. That’s how we transited the Pacific in the late ‘50s & early ’60s.

Chiefs Parade shooting
Abilene Slim SASS 81783 replied to Abilene Slim SASS 81783's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
And to underscore one of my other posts and the NR column, another shooting has occurred at a Waffle House in Indianapolis. One dead, 5 wounded after an altercation among two groups. No need to read an entire article about it. It’s the same as all the others thru the years. “Police said two groups of people were involved in an altercation inside and outside the Waffle House before the shooting happened. Investigators are still searching the area for witnesses.” -Fox News
