This is what I see on my screen:

WOW!!

Did your rifle look like this? This is my Mossberg .22 made for military training. That’s a 6-round detachable mag just ahead of the trigger guard

Pic is reversed for some reason. That’s quite a contraption.

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there.

Thanks. Like I said, I’m old. Cultural jokes & references are becoming increasingly foreign to me.

Crayola crayons…Marines..? OK, I’m old.

I don’t care who you are, that’s funny right there. And true…

They left out East St. Louis

I know, right?

In this country, Kix was/is a kid’s breakfast cereal.

Whoever manufactures them in Fargo…

Yup. It’s a unique and unforgettable aroma - especially on a hot day.

…and after the beep on the firing line.

I always loved landing on dirt/sod instead of concrete. There’s something primal about it - like black powder instead of smokeless.

Looks like an airstrip on the edge of the property in the third pic.

Of “corse”…

I rode a Kawasaki Mach 3 750 triple a couple of times back around 1971-72. Acceleration was mind-numbing and combined with marginal stability for such a bike. Think I might have had to change my underwear after my second (and last) ride… Oh, to be young and stupid again!

Which is why I haven’t watched one in the last 20 years.

From a friend who was at a "Red Dawn" match last year.

The best thing to come out of Iowa is I-35… Apologies to my Iowa pards. That’s a cheesy Kansas City joke!

Hijack alert!! Ok, so the M-79 was deemed obsolete as a stand-alone weapon and also not versatile enough, so it was combined with the AR platform to make the M-203. But now, the M-203 is obsolete and they're going back to a stand-alone weapon with an improved version of the M-79 with the M-320? I don't get it.

Is that an MG-42? And is that Aaron Rogers preparing to fire on the defensive line?
