I always think of Johnny Carson when I see references to a fork in the road. When you come to the fork in the road. Get out, pick it up and continue ...

Don't you have carpeted ceilings? They're great. Reduce echos, never need to be vacuumed and in the unlikely event that we ever lose gravity (or for our california pards, in the very likely event that your house rolls over in an earthquake) it'll be much nicer to walk on.

I'm too young to know this, what did you do to fix a skipping record? Whatever it is, someone do it to pat please.

I had no idea that the head nerd from revenge of the nerds was a carradine. Nor that he was in SASS.

An especially good one if your home club is in madison county, so they can all cuss your name. Edit: Also, now I have an ear worm. Thanks. It's one of the 2 songs that always remind me of my dad, so it's a good ear worm. The other is The Gambler. I never could figure out why it was 2 Kenny Rodger's songs that made me think of him.

How are those standing up? Maybe the broom has a hand on it, but I don't think an AK will naturally balance on it's flash hider.

You are clearly a man of letters ... but what do they all mean? Do I have to say the whole thing every time I call you to the line? -

How can he be sick? He's got a purty medicine pouch around his neck there. -
Black Powder Cartridges: .45 Colt vs. .44-40

I guess this was posted a long time ago. But the answer to your question is YOU SHOULD BE. When I see something on wiki that I know is wrong, I edit the page. -

I just used HSM's 45-70 in the long range match today. Everyone else was commenting that it was hitting hard and one guy said it was whistling through the air. I'm disappointed to hear it's too hot because I have a trapdoor Springfield I was hoping to use them in. They are the same bullet weight and within 100 fps of the loads my buddy from the gun club loads for me, so I was hoping it'd be safe. At least, according to the specs, I don't have any way of checking it. I bought a bunch of them because I found a good deal at cabelas. Looks like I need a new rifle for the long range matches. Anyway, i can't help ya with the hardness because that's over my head.

How can I tell a new from old Vaquero?
Ramblin Gambler replied to Deadeye George's topic in SASS Wire
The way I tell is by whether the base pin comes all the way out. But it occurs to me that this might change with different barrel lengths. I am pretty much only interested in 5.5" barrels, and in that length the OMVs base pin won't come all the way out (at least not with the amt of effort I've been willing to give it), but on NMVs, colts, and colt clones it does. So my question to some of you who like those oddball barrel lengths, does that hold true? To answer a couple of other things that were brought up: 1. The part number for the feather lights is FL7 or FL8 (depending on shot size), indicating that Winchester could have at least internally called them featherlights even if it wasn't ever on the box. 2. "Model" is important because then we can shorten them to NMV and OMV and everyone will know what we're talking about. OV isn't nearly as clear given that it's only a 2 letter three letter acronym. -
How many SASS competitors are using original Colt SAA's?
Ramblin Gambler replied to NewHampshireTom's topic in SASS Wire
You aint gunna believe this, but I was actually about to guess that. I couldn't tell who made it, but I zoomed in on the picture and I could tell the markings on the frame and slide were missing, or at least different enough from the 2 above it that you can't see them in the picture.
