What show would that be? That's one of the annoying things they have on YouTube. They will show a clip from some movie or TV show and not tell you where it came from. Sometimes I know - if it's Kirk and Spock I'm pretty sure that it's the original Star Trek, for example - and other times I don't have any idea where it's from. And sometimes I would like to know.
You misunderstand me. There are videos on at least a couple channels that show "fails" of real people at a Range, sometimes an indoor range, sometimes in a field. Some of the videos taken by people that they were with, some from security cameras at the Range, some by other people, that show frightening stupidity with guns.
One that comes to mind is of a female "influencer" at an indoor range. She is NOT dressed to shoot, wearing something that looks like Daisy Duke shorts with knee high boots. When she fires her 9mm, (of course), the brass bounces off the wall and into the top of her boot. She understandably jumps, but when she does, she fires her gun again, but hits her bag which is at her feet.
There are a number of them showing somebody who shouldn't be, shooting a gun far to powerful for their experience, many of them a 12Ga, and they completely lose control of the gun, sometimes having it fly out of their hands. I've seen a few where somebody with a .500S&W or similar gun, when they fire it, the recoil is enough to cause the gun to rotate back in their hands, many time inadvertently firing a second time, into the ceiling. A few had the gun rotate so far back that it pointed at their own head, fortunately without firing.
If you search Youtube for "Gun fails" you will find plenty of this kind of content.

Scenes like that are why I stopped watching the show. However, I've seen far stupider, REAL stupid stuff on Youtube.

I decided to shoot my own turkey one year. Scared the crap out of everybody else in the Walmart.

A guide was explaining to his client that the meanest animal in the world was nearby and he must be aware of it. “It’s the crocagator, head of a crocodile at one end, head of an alligator at the other, mean as all get out”.
Client: “If he’s got a head at both ends how does he poop?”
Guide: “That’s why he’s so mean.”
I've only known one other person that knew about the crockagator. When we wrote our book, we used it as the school mascot.

Nope. Sorry C.J.
SR-71 Pilots and Back Seaters are not granted "Astronaut" status. The SR-71, while flying at 80,000+, does not approach sufficient altitude for Astronaut status.
Thought I'd read somewhere that they did. I stand corrected.

The thing that I have a problem with is them being called "Astronauts" just because they go a certain distance above the ground. I my view, before they earn the title of Astronaut, they have to go into obit around the earth!
I don't think that I'd go that far. The first two Mercury flights were suborbital flights, and nobody says that Scott Carpenter and Gordon Cooper aren't astronauts. Pilots of the SR-71 are considered astronauts too.

The old kind (diatomaceous earth base), not the modern gels. I've used the old stuff to smooth gun actions. It's messy but it works if you're patient.
I believe that I saw on one of the shooting TV shows Lead Dispenser said that he squirted toothpaste with baking soda in it into his Vaqueros as a Action Job and then sat in front of his TV cycling the actions for several hours.

Somebody? It was me that pointed that out. And he crushed the gun more than just once.
And then they had to replace it. Please try and keep up.

I finally gave up on my Asian barbers.
When I was stationed in Okinawa, I LOVED getting a haircut from a local. An Oriental Barber ALWAYS gives you a 30 second massage when you're done. There was even one at a local Barber College that did so as a student.

Having said all that I do NOT see what the big deal is over the "crew" of the Blue Shepard flight being all women.
To make headlines. Pure P.R.

There was discussion on another thread about Superman ducking the thrown gun after the bullets bounced off him. Somebody pointed out that once he did catch the gun and crush it. That must have been the S&W. They then had to replace it and got a colt.
(Sounds as reasonable as anything Alpo would come up with. And I'll bet that Subdeacon Joe could find a video of it.)

Well done, you made it usable again!
Both of our cars are old enough that the headlight covers (lenses?) have become foggy and scratched. I found that "painting" the lenses (plastic covers) with a clear urethane varnish restores clarity. The varnish eventually wears off but can be refreshed, just like re-varnishing furniture.
Something for those with clouded headlight covers to consider. Clean the surface to prep it like you would anything else to be varnished, and try a test spot.
You might try varnishing that fuel gauge lens just for grins and getting your dad's ghost off your back by keeping it as a spare!
I use this stuff on headlights. Works good, but you have to touch them up a couple times a year. A spluge on a polishing pad and a couple minutes by hand on each light works wonders. I use it on the windows of my Jeep too.

William Shatner went up on Blue Origin's New Shepard in October 13 2021.
Publicity photo with him and the others he went up with.

On the positive side, they didn't get lost and have to stop for directions. (Yes, I know..)

NONE of them had ANYTHING to do with the preparation or operation of the “spacecraft” or its peripherals! They were PASSENGERS and nothing more!Aside from that, the only problem I have with this event is that they didn’t leave a couple of those individuals up there!!
At least Captain Kirk went first.

Some places will turn it down if asked, but in most chain stores the staff.....including the so called managers.....have no control over it. "Corporate" controls it, but I'll bet you won't hear any of it in their offices.
Yeah, rap music... the "C" is silent. We have the same "We can't control it" at our gym. Some of it's okay, but then sometimes I'm saying, "Da*m, there's something wrong with the radio."

May I suggest welders supply stores, or any industrial supply. Most trades wear 100% cotton for fire protection.
A welding jacket will probably be green.

But in "Die Hard 2" they said it was completely plastic so that a metal detector wouldn't see them?!

Either way they're not metal! Hollywierd says so.

Glock magazines have a stainless steel frame with a polymer coating. They aren’t “plastic” and neither is a Glock. It’s a polymer framed gun with plenty of steel in the slide and internal components.
But in "Die Hard 2" they said it was completely plastic so that a metal detector wouldn't see them?!

When I was a kid we had a “party line”.
Sometimes you would be in the phone and hear a click. Someone had picked up their receiver. If I didn’t hear another click indicating they hung up I would start talking about the robbery we were going to commit at one of the local banks then after a couple of code words my friend and I would hang up.A friend of mine had a mother that was a total control freak. Sometimes she would pick up another phone when we were talking and just listen. If either one of us heard the "click" of her doing so, we'd say, "Hey, I just heard from Jack", and we'd wrap it up.
Sometimes she'd pick it up, listen for a few seconds, and start dialing like we weren't even talking!

Marines are always giving The Navy crap, but we NEVER did so to our Corpsman. I've seen more than a few times when were on a Forced March, when we would typically stop for about 10 minutes every hour, Marines taking off their boots complaining about their feet, but our Corpsmen were running up and down the line making sure that WE were okay when they had been marching right along with the rest of us.
