  1. It's possible that I've never writ pig latin before.
  2. Pig Latin for "Blink 4 times if you're being held captive". As in being held captive by your glock which is forcing you to say it is "perfection"
  3. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to visit Australia. I almost went once a few years back. But when I was filling out the paperwork they asked if I had a criminal record so I wadded it up and threw it in the garbage. I had no idea that was still a requirement.
  4. In the spirit of using this as a training tool (In other words, don't take this as me blaming him or anybody else). What should the hero have done differently? From what I see above, he didn't have time to put his gun down when the cop arrived. However, he probably should not have picked up the AR. Maybe just moved it away from the perp. I'm sure that's what his thoughts were. Get the gun away in case he was still alive, and to unload it for safety. Everyone is saying to put the gun down. I always planned to reholster immediately before cops arrived if I was out in public. The question about plain clothes police got me to thinking. I don't remember if this was on cops or just in movies, but I recall seeing plain clothes officers with their guns drawn holding up their badges. As a LTC holder, would it do any good to have your license out if you decide not to holster before cops show up? Obviously they can't read the license but by the same token they can't tell if the off duty cops badge is real. It might slow them down enough that you can put your gun down. I think it'd be a good add to LTC classes to do exercises where you have to deal with the cops after shooting someone in public.
  5. First off, it's high performance glass filled nylon. Second, other than the trigger dingus none of those things are things glock invented. Third, It's not glock like controls because there's a manual safety on the other side. But I'll let that one slide since you probably only saw the right side of the gun. Fourth, I'm surprised a man of your refinement didn't notice the 2 degrees difference in the grip angle. The Ruger has the same grip angle as the 1911. I enjoy how you always put "perfection" in quotes when talking about the glock. linkBe ourfe imeste ife uourye eingbe eldhe aptivece.
  6. This reminded me of the honey do list my mom had for my dad. Every once in a while he'd take care of the list. By removing it from the fridge and throwing it away.
  7. Whoa slow down there turbo. My EDC is a Security 9. Other than some plastic (which glock didn't start) and a dingus on the trigger, it don't look much like a glock at all. Most importantly, it's not like a glock in 3 ways that matter most. It's hammer fired, has a manual safety, and doesn't throw hot brass down my shirt. You must be using the media firearms identification guide if you think this looks like a glock.
  8. Trinidad slim is that tall feller in the back? Boy he sure looks familiar.
  9. I dunno. I think sometimes stuff gets posted that is not the opinion of anyone including the person who posted it. Happens a lot more often on other websites, but the sasswire aint completely immune from it.
  10. Death seemed like a cool character in The Watch. Glad he's in the book too. Hope to see him regularly. Maybe they will even let him in the band some day.
  11. I believe there's been more than one discworld screen adaptation. Having only seen The Watch, I got more of a cheery vibe from that photo. But I didn't realize Lady Ramkin was supposed to be big and strong too. They definitely went another direction in the series. Here's a list of all of the series or movies inspired by Pratchett's works. I know Hogfather is set in discworld and Good Omens is not. Not sure about the rest, but I bet most were set in discworld. Truckers, 1992, an animated series by Cosgrove Hall. Johnny and the Dead, a TV serial by ITV, 1995. Soul Music, 1997, an animated series by Cosgrove Hall. Wyrd Sisters, 1997, an animated series by Cosgrove Hall. Johnny and the Bomb, 2006, a three-part TV series on the BBC. Hogfather, aired by Sky One, Christmas 2006 as TV film. The Colour of Magic, aired by Sky One, Easter 2008 as TV film. Going Postal, aired by Sky One, Easter 2010 as TV film. Troll Bridge, 2019, premiered at Flickerfest International Film Festival, 16th January. Good Omens, 2019, 6 episode miniseries made available to stream on Amazon Video on 31st May. The Watch, the first episode of season one was released on AMC+ on December 31st 2020.
  12. I don't see a saturday podcast on the feed. Have they done one yet? @hud Got what's the scoop?
  13. nope. I see this picture.
  14. Is anyone else getting a sentence instead of a picture? Getting it a lot in the memes thread too. Like this. "May be an image of blah blah with text". Like what's doing that. How does it know what the image and text are? It's blowing my mind. The funny thing is that most of the time the description is enough for me to enjoy the meme. Especially if I've already seen one that fits the description.
  15. Dirk Benedict (played Starbuck on the original Battlestar Galactica series, among other things) is vegan but hunts and cooks the wild game for his guests. Hollyweird. The guy was a hoot at the convention though. It's so common for the images to be flipped these days that I don't think most people even notice anymore. However, if you look close, it looks like he has a wedding band on the hand holding the wrist of the shotgun. If that's the case, the image isn't flipped and it is a left handed shotgun. I don't recognize the design on his hat but that might tell us also. Someone see if they can zoom in and enhance the cat's collar. If it says ϱnoԳ instead of Pong we'll have our answer.
  16. The marksmanship activity is separate from the affiliated club membership. Even if it possible that a SASS club could satisfy both. I use my LTC for the marksmanship part. Some people use their status as current or former law enforcement or military. I wonder what % of CMP customers actually have to turn in proof of competing in a match of some sort. In the circles I run in, everyone interested in a CMP gun has an LTC, is a cop, and or is a vet.
  17. Theoretically your SASS club matches counts for the marksmanship activity if you need that. But you probably have to compete under your real name to use it.
  18. Man he sure has bad luck with marlins.
  19. Can confirm. I think I've been using an 87 exclusively for 4 years now and I've only been shooting CAS for 7 years. I'm still faster with my double. I only know because of fastest shotgun side matches at the annual events. I like the 87 too dang much to give it up.
  20. I never realized Jim Bowie had such big arms. He's wearing long sleeves in most pictures I've seen.
  21. My favorite was a martial arts instructor I knew who claimed he was dropped off in cambodia with nothing but a samurai sword and a mission to wreak havok on the enemy supply chain. The most amazing part of the story was that he was dropped off by a sub and swam ashore. I always wondered if he was shot out of a torpedo tube. I'll be honest, I never could get a read on whether he was being serious. But everyone else thought he was.
  22. I have a single buscadero rig that I bought between the time I decided to start cowboy shooting and when I actually went to a match. So when we get constitutional carry in a couple months I plan to break that out for the cool factor on weekends. Technically I can do that now with my LTC permit but it would mean potentially having to talk to LEO a lot and showing them the permit. To answer the question, when anyone has asked me why I'm carrying, I think I've always said "Why not?" I like Blackwater's response of "why aren't you?" I will use that next time. I have a reputation as a curmudgeon anyway, so when I get into a conversation about how I can't go into a bar, my family doesn't push it anymore. I don't know if they know the reason or just recognize when I'm not going to answer.
  23. I used to work with a guy who was a gypsy. He said the banditos had the same Harley only rule. He bought a harley so he could ride with some bandito friends but he liked his jap bike much better. Harley isn't the only american made bike though, is it?
  24. Hot doggity dig! That site has an RSS feed I can use. Thanks. I'd only been looking on the website for the radio station and couldn't find anything other than a way to play the show from my browser.
  25. Looks like we need to bump this thread everyday so Cypress and 3ft can get their daily calisthenics in. Don't ferget to work both legs fellas.
