Good quote I just read in a Discworld book.
Ramblin Gambler replied to Utah Bob #35998's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Well, they actually accounted for that. They had a multiverse of discworlds in the show. They even sent vimes to another universe where he was in prison. Grandmother Rock was able to see all the universes and told detritius that he and vimes were friends in his world. They called the people who did that observers but my wife says they seem more like the auditors. -
I had one a few years ago. It was cheap. After a month or so the image turned upside down and I couldn't figure out why. I could mount the camera upside down to get video right side up, but then all the date and time info was upside down. Then it started cutting out in the middle of the drives so I trashed it. Next time I will spend a bit more money. I see weird stuff all the time too.

No you're underthinking this. If one group has to deal with high winds or rain, we can use large fans and water hoses to simulate it for the other groups. It's the only way to be fair. Bare electrical wires can simulate lightning.

You don't wanna do that. It'll bugger up the barrel. Tell ya what, I'll give you $45 for it and you can use that money to buy yourself one without the lug. Adjusted for inflation $45 in 1980 would be $145 today, so I'll go that high. Don't want anyone to think I'm trying to get one over on ya.

Well, I suppose you could point the SG and holler BANG really loud. Doesn't that count as engagement? Might be worth a shot if you really don't have any more shells on you. For instance you only came to the line with 3, or you fumbled a shell and threw it out beyond the firing line. If you did it while you still had shells in your belt you might get a different reaction.

yeah it seems like he left out a word doesn't it? I wonder if he meant "Actually, I would NOT attempt to catch the falling gun. "

Goofy things pets do.......add yours.

Yeah i agree. How do you teach a dog to do that? I want all of my dogs to start doing that. -

My wife is a big fan too. I enjoyed the recent series "The Watch" but she didn't. -

I have a dog that snores like a cartoon character. Everything short of re-arranging the house. My wife thinks it's cute. But let me make any noise at all and it'll wake her up from a dead sleep. -
Totally not SASS related, but this BUGS me!!!
Ramblin Gambler replied to Singin' Sue 71615's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I want to find some plants they hate and replace all of our shrubbery. But it's got to be a very low maintenance plant or it won't survive. I've failed to grow weeds (bluebonnets) for 10 years running. -
Just don't let it happen again.

I'm feelin pretty good about the winchester I paid $900 for at auction in 2018. It went the cheapest of all the M1 carbines for sale that day and I assume it's because it was the only one without a bayonet lug. What do I need with a bayonet lug? That'd be a whole other bayonet I'd have to buy!

She tells me I need a bigger one! Gun safe that is
Ramblin Gambler replied to Dirty Dog Doug's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I find them to be liars. But congratulations. I kinda need another one myself. -
Sure wish they had an RSS feed so I can get them on my podcast player.

One of us seems to be confused about where we currently are. I did stipulate that if the TO was determined to abide by the no talking request I feel like this is his only option. I have a hard time imagining anyone even asking for that. We are definitely in a land of childish wire whatifs right now.
-
Because the TO should not start the shooter in a faulted position.
-
If that was the case and the TO was determined to follow the request, then I guess he should have just stood there holding the timer with no beep till the shooter figured it out hisself?

Could Gunfighters Really Shoot page 13
Ramblin Gambler replied to Pee Wee #15785's topic in SASS Wire
Oh and as a gunfighter, I would like to confirm that I could indeed shoot page 13. Or page 11 or page 15 or any other odd numbered page you wanna put up against me. Don't ask about even numbered pages. After The Incident, I jut can't bring myself to shoot anything what's divisible by 2. -

Ramblin Gambler replied to Pee Wee #15785's topic in SASS Wire
If I'm right about the motion being talked about, I read somewhere that the old timers shot like that because they learned on cap n ball pistols, and that extra movement made the gun more reliable by allowing the caps to fall out instead of getting jammed up. -
Cheap way to get running water
Ramblin Gambler replied to Ramblin Gambler's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
I was wondering if i could just put a hose bib outside the building and connect it to a hose bib on my house with a garden hose. No reason that wouldn't pressurize the rest of the building. But it's a little too far away and we definitely don't want a hose permanently strung across the driveway. -
Reminds me of Ima Hogg. Daughter if the richest man in Houston at the time and later the governor.

I'm confused. Is 45-70 different from 45-70 Sharps Straight? I'm pretty sure 45-70 has saami specs.

Chickens and Eggs
Ramblin Gambler replied to Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
A friend had a problem with snakes getting his eggs. He laid out golf balls. After they ate them the snakes couldn't get back though the fence. So he'd go out every morning and dispatch the offending snakes till the problem was solved. -
