Black Angus McPherson

Toyota Camry and Toyota Highlander. If I start the car, step outside and close the door, I cannot lock the door with the fob. If the engine is running and the door is locked, I cannot unlock the door with the fob. It's really not a big deal. If I want to warm up the car and walk away I just use an extra key to lock the door while it warms up and unlock it when I return. I don't want a car that does not have a key. The fob is just one more electronic thing that's just too easy to screw up. I walk to and from my car on my own and I know how to operate a key. Angus

I know what "FOID" means (Firearms Owner Identification Card) But, what is "BGC" and "BGS"?

I agree, if looking cool and shooting cool guns is what makes it fun for you then don't worry about who can shoot 24+ rounds in 12 seconds. Personally, I LOVE the folks with the style points. After a match I don't usually remember who shot the fastest, but I will remember who wore the cool outfit, or who was shooting the really cool guns. Even if it's just a pair of neat boots or a "73 Musket. Or watching a guy shoot an original '60 Army. I LOVE that stuff. I may be impressed by the 12 second shooter, but I want to BE the guy shooting the cool guns. I'm not, but I'd like to be. If you've got the time, money, and skills to be a 12 second shooter, knock yourself out. I won't be the guy trying to tell you your fun is wrong. Angus

Hey look! Alpo, I found it! Angus

OK, Call me "Master Corporal". Thanks Now, what is "PLQ"?

Two questions: What is "PLQ"? What is the new rank? "Special Corporal"? "Leaf Corporal"? "Special Chevron Corporal"? Angus

Forgive my ignorance, but if they are wearing gold service stripes it means they have never been the subject of disciplinary action. So, the guys wearing red service stripes HAVE been the subject of disciplinary action at some point in their career? A guy goes 20 years without discipline and wears gold service stripes. Year 21 he screws up and gets ganked so from then on all his service stripes are red? Just trying to understand. While I'm at it, at what level of discipline does the change take effect? A "bad boy" letter in his file or time spent in the brig? Angus

The more I think about that the more fun it sounds. I think, maybe, I could almost justify the purchase of an M-1 Carbine for that. Almost. It still doesn't explain the stupid high prices they're going for now. I think I'd substitute a Model 12 for the '97, tho. I just like the Model 12 more. Plus, I already have one. Angus

That would certainly be fun, but so would a Garand. And neither one would be a first choice for a "serious" competitor. i.e. You won't see Jerry Miceluk (sp) using either unless he's just having fun or showing off. For the record, I have NO problem with having fun. Heck, I wouldn't shoot anything if I wasn't having fun. Now I'm thinking I'd like to have a Stg 44. THAT would be fun! Although I don't know where I'd even get ammo for one. Angus

I've always wanted an M-1 Carbine. Unfortunately, they're going for stupid high prices. Way too much for a gun whose only real use is as a plinker. Can't hunt (much) with 'em and they sure ain't no target rifle. Just lots of fun to shoot. Angus

Um, Where's the cat?

My friend's daughter does that. At least she used to. She may have out grown it. It does get some interesting looks. Angus

Yeah, I forgot about nurses. Probably most in the medical field as well. Want to talk sex stuff or gross stuff? Talk to a nurse. Wow! Just, Wow! I got into a conversation with a group of nurses some years back and when it meandered into the topics of sex and gross stuff they about crossed my eyes and I'm sure I must have blushed. I was also glad I had an empty stomach. Angus

OK, maybe I'm going to Hell, but I laughed. (But I included a "Ooooooooo, too soon?") I've laughed at worse. Same as most other LEO's or (ex)military. Angus

Hollow core exterior doors aren't really all that unusual around here. They are a pretty good sign that it's a rental property or section 8 housing. I've knocked on a few doors that a 6 year old could punch through and I wouldn't trust to hold a leaning man upright. Angus

I don't think they had "outtakes". Screwups, flubs and bloopers, yeah. But I don't think they took any of them out. And I agree. That was one darn funny show. Angus

If a Canada Goose lives in Canada doesn't that make it a Canadian Canada Goose?

I wondered the same thing. The way that door opens the wind should be trying to slam it shut. Photo-shop?

I can hear that last photo: "Hold my beer."

Not being a Canadian, or a hockey fan, I can only guess: Choosing sides for a game? Angus

OK, Alpo, I'll help you out. Poseidon is the Greek god of the sea. Neptune is the Roman god of the sea. "Row man" = "Roman", got it? Hate it yet? You're welcome, Angus

This is why I always read to the end of a thread before posting. I thought the same thing when I saw the picture. But I wanted to see if anyone else noticed and commented before I said anything.

This reminds me of the old addage: The only thing worse than finding a worm in your apple is finding half a worm. Angus

But I don't want to be a sandwich!
