Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 Golden arches may be synonymous with McDonald’s, but they’re nowhere to be found at one location in Sedona, Arizona. Due to a local law that prevents buildings from infringing on the region’s natural beauty, this McDonald’s instead features turquoise arches. City officials determined the gold would clash with the surrounding red rocks, whereas the turquoise was a more appropriate hue. Other unique color schemes at McDonald’s around the world include white arches at Paris and Belgian locations, as well as a big red “M” in place of the traditional yellow at one Rocklin, California, joint.

Marshal Mo Hare, SASS #45984 Posted December 14, 2024 Posted December 14, 2024 In a tradition that first began over 50 years ago on May 17, 1972, Wisconsin’s Don Gorske has consumed upwards of 32,340 Big Macs — and counting. While Gorske originally ate, on average, a whopping (no Burger King pun intended) nine Big Macs per day, he has since scaled back to about two a day. Gorske claims that in those 50 years he has only missed eating a Big Mac on eight days. The previous record for Big Macs eaten in one lifetime was 15,490, a number that Gorske smashed back in 1999 and has been dwarfing ever since. Quote

And he was letting people hold it. When it got to me, I put it on half cock and rotated the cylinder, like anybody with one eye and half sense, and any sort of gun training, would do upon being handed a gun. He got extremely upset because I worked the action of his gun. I figured if you don't want people to work the action of your gun, don't hand it to them. Now I'm going to go out on a limb here and take a guess that that sign is on a car at a classic car show. But if you don't want people to put their hand on your hood while they're leaning down to look through the windshield at your tuck and roll, don't bring the damn car to the show. Quote

In a car show, fingerprints can make the difference between 1st and 2nd place, but if handed a gun, I'm checking for clear. I don't care if the person who handed it to me checked it, I don't care how many people checked it before me, I don't care if I saw them checking it, I'm checking it myself. If someone does not want me to check it personally, they better show me it is clear the same way I do to an RO (and ULT in SASS) at a shoot. Edited December 16, 2024 by John Kloehr 1 Quote
