Beware of Amazon QR Code scams
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Sedalia Dave's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Which my flip phone can't do, so I'm good. Yes, I know, I'm being a jackass. This is good intel that any smartphone user should be aware of. It's just things like this that make me hate the things worse than I already do. -

You need a smartphone to scan a QR Code, right? I'm good. -
Mack Brothers Vehicles
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Subdeacon Joe's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
You all know that Mack uses the Bulldog as their emblem. There used to be another company that used a Husky for theirs. Brockway Motor Company, which began as Brockway Carriage Works in 1875, was a builder of custom heavy-duty trucks in Cortland, New York, from 1912 to 1977. They were a contemporary of Mack from about the same era and similar technologies. Mack Trucks acquired Brockway in 1956, and the Brockway brand was used until the company closed in 1977. My friend Tex, had a liking for Brockway, so when we started calling my Jeep The Muddog, and I said that I was going to get a Mack Bulldog to mount on the hood, (you could get them from J.C. Whitney), he declared that I would not. HE would get me as Brockway Husky. The only place you could get one was at a Brockway dealership. So that's what he did. He paid about $20, (this was 1976 money, and that was a lot for a 20 year old kid in those days) and we mounted it on the Jeep. He's gone now, but I still have the Husky. It's been on four Jeeps now, and will be there until one of us is no longer around. -
I wonder, at times, why people fall for this
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Alpo's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I have the same question about the Nigerian Prince scam, the Car Warranty scam, the We want to buy your house, Social Security Benefits, IRS is going to arrest you, and all the other things I get in my email, on the phone, etc. To me they're SO obvious that it baffles me that anybody could possibly STILL be falling for these things, but if they weren't, they'd go away. -
Flat trigger verses normal

Is this normal in pro wrestling

Wild Bull Curry, and my favorite, (of the time), his son, Flying Fred Curry. I got to see them live in about 1972 or 3. -

I keep thinking about studying the Classics. But I never seem to get done doing nothing to get around to it. -

Well, I wasn't going to sit here all day looking for them, Not to mention the bandwidth it would take up here. Even Alpo would get bored looking at everybody we could think of. While I don't remember him specifically, everybody started out as the No Name Nobody to get beaten up by the Name Wrestler in matches. Well, except maybe Andre the Giant. Miss Elizabeth was gorgeous, but useless except to run and get Hulk Hogan when Randy Savage was getting his butt beat. I saw the Tag Team coming after about the second time she did that. At least she didn't do stuff like distract the ref, (She would have been GOOD at that) or hit the other guy with a chair like most "Managers". -

I haven't watched "wrasling" since Hulk Hogan left the WWF. However, at that time, yes, many of the more colorful characters would come down the ramp in some kind of fancy outfit to start their match, removing most of it to fight. Occasionally, the "bad guy" would attack the "good guy" WHILE he was doing so. That guy usually lost. Here's something to give you an idea how some of them appeared. After they got in the ring, most of them just fought in shorts. -
A 9mm Autoloader Question for Those in the Know
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Pat Riot's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I wholeheartedly agree. Although, there have been one or two occasions where working with such a gun can have positive results. Bigmouth, my EDC 1911 couldn't shoot for crap when I got him. I got so frustrated that I was ready to trade him off. On a whim, at an indoor range I frequent, I stepped out and got a box of WW White Box to try instead of the cheap gun show ammo I was shooting. Made a total difference. The Hungarian Hi Power I mentioned earlier was such a POS with the first shooting that I nearly returned it to the store. It wouldn't fire more than 2 shots without jamming. Again frustrated, I went into the "shop" side of the range and grabbed a couple USA magazines for it. I asked and they agreed that if they worked I'd buy them. HOLY COW they worked. I got a third and those magazines are still with the gun today.- 57 replies

Just a WAG, but I'd think that if they were in "combat", force vs. force, it would be considered a KIA. But if Hitler were shopping in the Market and a soldier walked up and shot him, it would be murder, however justified.

G.I. style 1911s get me that way too. My EDC has a Commander style hammer so it doesn't. Most new Hi Power type pistols have a Commander style hammer too.- 57 replies

A 9mm Autoloader Question for Those in the Know
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Pat Riot's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
This is a "Just for askin'" , but why don't you like a Hi Power of CZ75? I've got a FEG, (Hungarian) Hi Power that's pretty good. Some years back, I decided for absolutely no good reason that I needed a "wonder 9". That should tell you how long ago THAT was. The 9mm wasn't THE cartridge yet, and Micro 9s hadn't even been invented. I handled every 9mm that my favorite LGS had in stock, and in doing so, decided that the Hi Power fitted me best. As I didn't have as much money as a "real" Hi Power cost, I wound up with the FEG. It does everything I ask it to, though the front sight is too short, and the rear dovetail is an oddball size so that nothing in my parts box fit it. If I were to get one today, I'd get one of the SA's or a Tisas's, and I think that Armscorps, (Rock Island) makes one too. but since it's just a plinker, I doubt if I'll bother unless I manage to come into Money somehow.- 57 replies

Gene Hackman and wife dead UPDATE
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Rye Miles #13621's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
From the article on Breitbart: Jarrell said data from Hackman’s pacemaker showed its last activity over a week before his body was found when maintenance workers were unable to access the couple’s sprawling Santa Fe property. “Based on this information, it is reasonable to conclude that Mr. Hagman probably died around February 18. Based on the circumstances, it is reasonable to conclude that Miss Hackman passed away first, with February 11 being the last time that she was going to be alive,” said Jarrell. Full article here: https://www.breitbart.com/entertainment/2025/03/07/gene-hackman-and-his-wife-betsy-arakawa-cause-of-death-revealed/ But yes, they could be more respectful. The problem is that he was a straight white man who was a decent guy. They can't have that stand. -
About ten years or so back, before the Zombie Apocalypse, when the media was looking for some kind of pandemic to scare us all, (bird flu, swine flu, ebola, etc), there was a Hanta outbreak in Northern Arizona, mostly on the Indian Reservations, that THEY were trying to convince us was going to kill us all. It didn't.

Dr. Heather Jarrell, the chief medical investigator at New Mexico Office of the Medical Investigator is saying that she died first. For once, the media is merely reporting. -

Anti Police Legislation
Sgt. C.J. Sabre, SASS #46770 replied to Lawdog Dago Dom's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Even not being an LEO, if somebody's trying to fight with me, I don't CARE why. I don't care about his mental health, drug and/ or alcohol use and abuse, where he's from, his race, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, or whether his father ever told him he loved him or not. I'm just going to do whatever I have to to make him STOP. And I'm too old to fight and too fat to run, so there's probably only one option left...
