    When I get the junk calls asking if I've received my federal food card,  or whatever they call it, I say, "No, I haven't,  please send it to me." and hang up.  Still haven't received it...Wonder why?:D

    When I get those "We want to buy your house" calls, I tell them "Sure, just send me a check for a Million Dollars, and when it clears, I'll let you know."

    "CLICK".

    There is a gif. I've seen it dozens of times on many different sites. Two guys on ship firing automatic weapons, and the brass goes down the guy's butt crack. Cleavage.

    I was going to post that and ask if he was willing to kiss that cleavage. 

    Okay Alpo, you win THIS round!:D I'm surprised that Subdeacon Joe didn't chime in with that one.:rolleyes:

    That was my thought also.

    Although in the movie Nevada Smith, Brian Keith gives Steve McQueen a 5-inch Schofield, which gets shot frequently.

    They also show Keith reloading the fired ammunition. One of the few shows I've seen where they reload.

     

    Again, just a guess, a movie might have the budget to have blanks special loaded for it, where a TV show would not.

    Or I might very well be talking out my butt.

    In the episodes I have watched recently, the Schofield was never fired.  When the character fired a handgun it was a single action.  Good show, though.

    Just a guess, but the 5 in 1 Blanks of the era might not have fit the cylinder.

    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.

    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.

    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.

  11. 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.
