  1. Another Mythbusters test. They tested several types of door security systems for break in difficulty, and were surprised that this type was particularly effective. When the Build Team assembled the lock, they used much longer screws than were supplied making it extremely difficult to defeat.
  2. By agreeing to take the picture, the undercover was an active participant. The narc was just observing. Totally different. If the narc was asked to hold the money, HE would become an active participant.
  3. It doesn't matter WHAT kind of handgun it is, Glock, Sig, 1911. Striker fired, hammer fired, DA/SA, SA only, revolver OR semi auto, they ALWAYS put in the sound of an SAA being cocked.
  4. Ask Forty Rod. I think that it might his school photo.
  5. If it was, wouldn't the writing be backwards? I know, I know, the image has been reversed for the meme. And I should have had a shirt like that.
  6. I played sports as a kid. My parents signed me up for it. I played baseball in elementary school, got hit in the mouth with a pitch. I played football, I made a really good Defensive Tackle, but it just didn't do anything for me. Dad and I went to a few Columbus Jets baseball games. He enjoyed them more than I did. My Grandpa took me to a few OSU football games. We always left early because he'd get P.O.ed that they were losing. I just can't understand getting wrapped up in watching somebody else do something. Especially as invested as some people get into it. I know I've told this before: When I was stationed in Massatoshits, if one of the local teams, (Celtics, Patriots, Red Sox) lost a game, all it took was to mention that they lost to have a couple of the Marine Reserves on duty jump up ready to throw hands over it. I've been to Cowboy shoots on the days of University of Arizona games, and seen people pack up to leave after the third stage of a five stage Shoot so that they could go home and watch the game. I was flabbergasted. I know that we've had this same discussion before, Rye. I'm glad that you enjoy it, I don't, and I never will under how people can get so involved in it to the point that their lives are consumed by it. Sometimes it seems like they've become a hivemind, like the Borg. Or ants. Or bees. Maybe it's just me being contrary, I'm good at that, but I don't need the accomplishments of other people to give meaning to MY life.
  7. Reasonable question. No I don't. Because I've NEVER watched sports of ANY kind. I have no interest in football, basketball, baseball, hockey, soccer, NASCAR, or wrestling. Okay, I used to watch wrestling, but I stopped when Hulk Hogan retired. I've mentioned this before, but when I was a kid growing up in Columbus Ohio, my family was NUTS over OSU football and basketball to the point that I almost had it rammed down my throat. Every family gathering turned into another session of the men huddled in front of the TV yelling at it over whichever ball game was being played while the women sat and gossiped over people that I didn't know, many of them being relatives that were dead long before I was alive . Add to that my Dad's constant watching sports on TV, caused me to develop a healthy dislike for it. I don't like sports, and I consider my life that much fuller for it. I refuse to be one of the millions of sheeple that blindly follow something so trivial with such rabid ferver. Flame Suit on.
  8. Hit 'em where they hurt. Stop watching them until they get the hint. Stop buying their stuff. Find something else to do on weekends.
  9. I liked that video too. But he made the same mistake that most everybody does. He said that Mal's rifle was a Hollywood Henry, just a another rifle with the forend removed. But Mal never said that HIS rifle was a Henry, he said that his FATHER'S rifle was a Henry, which it was. Mal's rifle was a '66 Yellowboy with the forend removed.
  10. When we were kids, when you went to a movie theater, the lights weren't on before the movie. I used to close one eye when we were buying tickets, keep it closed while getting popcorn, candy and a soda, so that when we got into the theater I could find us seats. So yes it works.
  11. Absolutely no offence meant. I said for the most part because there are some warriors that rise in the ranks and don't forget why they're there in the first place. Forty Rod, and Utah Bob come to mind. Also why I mentioned General Gray.
  12. Same thing in the military, (for the most part). Even though I've been out for over 30 years, it was obvious back then that any officer over Lt. Col. was more politician than warrior. The one exception I saw was Col. Al Grey. When he was made Regimental Commander of the 6th. Marines, one of the first things that happened was that the entire Regiment received BRANDY NEW weapons. M16A1s, M60 machine guns, 81mm Mortars, all brand new. He went on to be Commandant of the Marine Corps, and he made huge changes there too. He'd have made a great Secretary of Defence.
  13. I would say that the discontinued ones might be priced at a little more than priced as marked, the still available somewhat less than marked. Put them up on the Classified forum as you see fit with a "Or best offer" and see what interest you get.
  14. For starters, is/ are the holster/s still being made? Are they a specifically desirable holster? Are they from a large manufacturer, (Bianchi, Galco), or from a small, semi custom type shop, (Kirkpatrick, Mernickle)? If they are something still in production and readily available, I probably wouldn't charge much over the marked price. If they were something no longer available, again, how desirable is it? I'd bet something like a Big Ed Douglas San Pedro holster would be almost worth it's weight in gold.
  15. The simplest answer is because these rules were first written 200 years ago. It took a lot of time to travel to where the newly elected needed to be. Ad to that time to communicate to everybody they needed to, and it was necessary. Why hasn't it been changed? No idea.
  16. My friend is very into WW2 models. he has so many kits that if he were to work on them 40 hours a week, he's have to live to be about 110 to finish them all, (he's 68). And that doesn't include the ones he just bought but hasn't received yet.
  17. Oh no, you're NOT getting away with teasing ME like that!
  18. Since it IS Men's Day, I suddenly feel a need to post this again. Man Rules: Man Rules: We always hear 'the rules' from the female side. Now here are the rules from the male side. These are our rules! They are all numbered (1) on purpose. (1) Men are NOT mind readers. (1) Learn to work the toilet seat. You're a big girl. If it's up, put it down. We need it up, you need it down. You don't hear us complaining about you leaving it down. (1) Crying is blackmail. (1) Ask for what you want. Let us be clear on this one: Subtle hints do not work! Strong hints do not work! Obvious hints do not work! Just say it! (1) Yes and No are perfectly acceptable answers to almost every question. (1) Come to us with a problem only if you want help solving it. That's what we do. Sympathy is (1) what your girlfriends are for. (1) Anything we said 6 months ago is inadmissible in an argument. In fact, all comments become null and void after 7 Days. (1) If you think you're fat, you probably are. Don't ask us. (1) If something we said can be interpreted two ways and one of the ways makes you sad or angry, we meant the other one. (1) You can either ask us to do something or tell us how you want it done. Not both. If you already know best how to do it, just do it yourself. (1) Whenever possible, Please say whatever you have to say during commercials. (1) Christopher Columbus did NOT need directions and neither do we. (1) ALL men see in only 16 colors, like Windows default settings. Peach, for example, is a fruit, not A color. Pumpkin is also a fruit. We have no idea what mauve is. (1) If we ask what is wrong and you say 'nothing,' We will act like nothing's wrong. We know you are lying, but it is just not worth the hassle. (1) If you ask a question you don't want an answer to, Expect an answer you don't want to hear. (1) When we have to go somewhere, absolutely anything you wear is fine. Really. (1) Don't ask us what we're thinking about unless you are prepared to discuss such topics as baseball or motor sports. (1) You have enough clothes. (1) You have too many shoes. (1) I am in shape. Round IS a shape! Thank you for reading this. Yes, I know, I have to sleep on the couch tonight. But did you know men really don't mind that? It's like camping.
  19. Oh heck, let's just go all the way: The Swedish Bikini Team.
  20. Warner Brothers studio promo picture from 1959. Series leads Will Hutchins (Sugarfoot), Peter Brown (Lawman), Jack Kelly (Maverick), Ty Hardin (Bronco), James Garner (Maverick), Wayde Preston (Colt .45), and John Russell (Lawman)
  21. I also missed those videos, and until Rye chimed in had no idea which thread was being discussed. I understand and appreciate the Moderators job. They've cut me off a few times when I got too political for the thread's good. But I'm certainly not quitting the Saloon over it. This is, after all, almost literally my only social media participation. And I agree with Pat, water under the bridge. (Hint for Larson).
