  1. I noticed you pooted a little when you seen all that money. I was scared to show you how much my bunkhouse boss had earned for fear you'd crap your britches.
  2. Sometimes I "run out of gas", sometimes I get lost or see something scary on the passenger side of the car. Atleast I don't cut a hole in the bottom of the popcorn bucket....anymore.
  3. I sure do appreciate you taking up for me and setting the record straight! That's mighty good friending right there. Matter of fact, I appreciate it so much I won't tell anybody about your hemorrhoid surgery you're having tomorrow or about that time you got to 2nd base with your double first cousin Martha.
  4. Creeker I love ya but here it is quoted by PWB from 4 months ago. You were in that discussion too.
  5. Took me a second but I found it. Here ya go.
  6. Sorry was at my daughters' practice. You would both be in the wrong to start the shooter in that position. This is the reason for the covenants. To keep everything level. Any exception to the SASS default(covenants) only applies to the exception. NOT all of it.
  7. Stage instructions say, "begin at position 2 with hands on hat". The shooter gives you the line and has hands on hat with body bent over the first long gun to be fired at position 2. What is your next action?
  8. Difference in wording and some of our conventions.... Stage instructions- Starting position: Begin standing behind position 1 with one thumb on your nose. This means- You are to stand at position 1 with 1 thumb on your nose. The rest of you must be at SASS default position because that is in our conventions. You may not have a thumb on your nose and be bent over double over your rifle. Stage instructions- Starting position: Begin standing behind position 1 at shooters' discretion with 1 thumb on your nose. This means you are to stand behind position 1 with 1 thumb on your nose. The rest of your body may be other than SASS default position because of the specified "shooters' discretion". This does not mean you can be touching gun(s) or ammo because those specific conventions weren't overridden by the wording. So I have to partially disagree with Creeker.
  9. The above is what I was saying. You just trying to be contrary to me?
  10. It HAS to be specific to that particular convention for reasons I specified above. If it's doesn't directly override a SPECIFIC convention, can we just choose which one we want it to override? No
  11. I wasn't there this year or last(did I hear someone say, yay) but for what it's worth: Conventions say long guns staged on a table will be staged FLAT on the table. It's true that SPECIFIC stage instructions stating otherwise can over rule that convention;however, "staged anywhere safely" is not a specific instruction that would override that convention. That phrase is used quite often when the stagewriter wants to convey that the shooters can stage a particular firearm at any one of several possible locations. In order to override that convention, the instructions would have to be specific to that convention. I.E. "Shooter may stage the long gun on the 2x4, or long gun may be propped up on rail, or something SPECIFIC like that. Otherwise the shooter would be able to stage the long gun flat but really far back on the table, or have the rifle kick-standing up on a saddle ring. To disallow ALL of that, they would ALL have to be addressed in the instruction. That'd be lunacy. Bottom line to me with THIS situation is the stagewriters, match officials, prop and stage builders only have so much they can be responsible for. They can't ultimately hold each Posse Marshals hand. If they could do that, they wouldn't need them in the first place. The officials can give direction and make a reasonable attempt to make sure all parties understand what's conveyed to them. They can take note of what problems they have with a Posse Marshal, or prop, etc to make whatever change is necessary to keep it from happening again. This is a good group putting this match on and they have shown they're not afraid to make changes to put on a better match. I have confidence they'll continue to do so.
  12. He's a scoundrel is what he is! The onliest reason folks put up with him is he brings Shootin' Sharyn with him. She says if he didn't do the reloading he wouldn't even make a good cart boy. I remember one time we were on a posse marshal walk through for a state or regional match and BB got just a touch too close to me and I slipped a chicken foot in his pocket at about stage 2. He walked the other 8 or 10 stages with that foot on him and got hoodoo'd. It was funny watching him. He'd trip every know and then, or drop his shooter book, or step in a pile of what was that. Or atleast that's what he kept calling it. All in all they're a great family. Even if they do bring Cap'n BB with them.
  13. Widder's birthday is today. Nearly a hunert years ago his Daddy was out in the waiting room when the Dr came out and told him, "I sure am sorry sir. We tried all we could try but he lived." Yep, Widder is so old he was one of the waiters at the last supper. He's also the only one I know who has an autographed copy of the Bible. It must've been a good childhood for him getting to play in the Sahara forest like he did. Widder is at the age where he's been there and done that, he just can't remember what it was. He still has all the females chasing him around though. The fact they're all female mosquitoes has no bearing on that fact. He is super talented though. For instance, he's the only one I know who can cough, fart, sneeze, and pee all at the same time. All jokes aside, we all like to make fun of Widder. Happy Birthday pard!
