For context, the full quote is "Not wishing to be left behind by Hank Azaria, I would like to apologise on behalf on Monty Python for all the many sketches we did making fun of white English people We're sorry for any distress we may have caused." This after Azaria apologized to "every single Indian person" for voicing Abu on The Simpsons. Very much tongue in cheek.

Thankfully, no.

Overcompensation?

Yes you did, before you proceeded to analyze away the humor.

Savage Revel new .22 rimfire lever gun
DocWard replied to Crooked River Pete, SASS 43485's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have a 9422M. It is one of three guns that if I were homeless and living in my car, and my car broke down, I wouldn't get rid of. -

I've often said that I want to die like my grandfather, peacefully, in my sleep. Not screaming in terror like the passengers in his car...

Having read a few of her opinions in law school, I'm inclined to agree. And yes, the fact that Justice Scalia thought well of her, and she of him, speaks volumes about not only the intellect, but the humanity, of both.

No worries, I just let all the air out of my tires to get low enough! Seriously, I lowered the tripod, folded the legs, removed the counterpoise, and put it in the back seat, then hooked my radio back up to my normal antenna (at the rear corner of the cab).

KE8PHY, Amateur Extra. My daughter is KE8PHZ, she's also an Extra. I'm a member of our local ARES group and for UHF/VHF I run a Kenwood TM-V71A in both my truck and at home for both ARES and club nets. I use a Compactenna for both applications. At home, I have the antenna on a tripod in a spare bedroom that I use as my shack. I haven't yet figured out how to do something with my new Subie other than a Yeasu FT60 running to a mag mount antenna. I've not done anything with my Extra privileges as of yet as Mrs. Doc is not fond of the idea of antennas around outside the house. Like @Linn Keller, SASS 27332, BOLD 103, I am interested in POTA, and picked up a Yeasu FT-897 and tuner off of QRZ. It works fine on 2 meters, and as soon as I can get an antenna and power supply, I plan on hitting some parks. Below is a picture of my truck when I was out with ARES during the solar eclipse. I brought the antenna from my house, just in case I had to go simplex. I can hit the 2 meter repeaters in our county from the counties to the South, East and North without any real problems using just the antenna on the truck. I haven't tried West.

Yeah, that was the one downside of it. That 360 with lower ratio gearing was thirsty.

With new vehicle prices approaching, and in the case of some trucks, exceeding what I paid to have my house built, it's no small wonder. 190K on a Toyota with a solid frame and body doesn't sound all that hateful. I am approaching 240K on my '08 Tundra and everything still appears to be working as it should. It could use a touch of bodywork and a paint job, but mechanically, it has been a good performer.

I had one. Wish I still did.
