I see the headlines, but I’m making a point not to read the articles for a few days. Gonna let the dust settle a bit. Right now, all the “news” looks more like a dust devil blowing across the highway.

So much of our game isn’t period correct that I don’t sweat those details. Plastic peanut and pickle jars work great for me. Just water and a little dish soap. Brass goes into the jar after the stage. The ride home does the job of agitation. Rinse when I get home, place on towel to dry in the basement or outside, weather permitting. Easy peasy.

Yes I did. He was a mighty good boss. I was his Quartermaster and the ship's Chef.
You the one who served up the unicorns?

Tail light lens?
No, those appear to be intact. I’m still looking and can’t figure out what might be missing… 🤪

Now, that's just wrong on so many levels.
Thank you, I was wondering what the punchline was.

I tried to get this meme thread back on track with another meme after derailing it over the pen joke (sorry), but the mods must’ve found something objectionable and pulled it. Here’s another. Happy meming!

That's why I either use a piston fill or converter.
Had to look that up as I wasn’t aware of them. Kinda cool.
I’m old enough to remember fountain pens that had an internal bladder. There was a lever on the outside of the pen that when lifted would squeeze the bladder. On release, the bladder would expand and draw ink from a bottle in through the nib.
As a tyke, I thought that was cool. What I didn’t understand is that if you lifted the lever again, you’d squirt ink everywhere. Dad was NOT pleased… 😱

Do you have a shirt with a top pocket stained blue?
In grade school (Catholic) we were required to buy “washable blue” ink as opposed to permanent, which was important because boys had to wear white shirts.
The unintended consequence was that it encouraged “pen fights” where you whip the pen, making it fling ink on your opponent. Hey, it was supposed to be washable, right?

My kids are in their 40s and wouldn’t have any idea of what they are. I’m thinking you’d need to be around 70 to recognize them. I haven’t seen them since 3rd or 4th grade.

It was actually an art display, but I love the jokes.
The art display and the joke are one and the same.

It was Rick (his Dad)'s Sheriff hat...different head sizes.
Thanks for the synopsis, folks. I’ve never seen the show and didn’t get the joke.

I tried the behind-the-ear muffs like Canby, but didn’t care for them. They kept sliding down my head which reduced sound attenuation.
I now use custom moulded plugs from my audiologist. They have a small hole that allows me to hear instructions and the beep, but block the gun shots. Cost me $150 about 8 years ago. No batteries needed and unlike muffs, don’t interfere with my hat.

Both answers are accurate. But we all know who’ll be offended. And who’ll have to apologize.

What do you wear in the rain for competition?

I HATE shooting in the rain. I once shot C&B in a downpour with no place for cover. I quit after the first day of two as everything was soaked through and through. Had to tear my guns down to the last screw. It poured the second day too. If it ain’t fun, I ain’t staying’.
