    Maggie’s Motivational Pic Thread v2.0 - - New Rules - See Post #1

    I wouldn't wanna be anywhere in shouting distance of that idiot. You can see how he's already got the spring starting to compress unevenly. At some point, he'll prolly get it compressed enough so one of the woodworking clamps slips free. Then the strength of his arm is all he can count on to...

    Who's old enough to remember Pat Summerall's playing days?

    This is indirectly related to Pat Summerall... I was watching an old Super Bowl game and John Madden commenting with Pat Summerall about a Cincinnati coach named "Dick Mojeleski". I didn't know the correct spelling for the last name. Madden (referring to Dick M.) said something like, "was he...

    Has anyone any Stories about firing a Barrett ?

    Dunno about a Barrett, but I fired 10 rounds through a friend's EDM Windrunner years ago. I was really surprised at the mild recoil. It wasn't much different from a .308; as some have described, it's more of a push than a sharp recoil. The range was set up with shooting bays: cinder block walls...

    Kurisumasu Ni Wa Kentakkii! (Now With a Collectible 2017 Holiday Souvenir!)

    That's the fact, Jack. I visit friends in the Tokyo area about every 2-3 years. Here's a picture I took on 5/26/2001: 6 apples for ~$21 USD. It's the only picture proof I kept of their fruit prices. I once saw a single canteloupe selling for 2,900 Yen in November of 1994. Today, that's $25.50...

    USPS MO. Are they verifiable and is there reason for concern

    Cash it at the post office, even if you have to arrange with the station supervisor to come back later in the day when they have a large enough sum of money. There ARE fake and stolen USPS MO's out there, and if you deposit one into your bank account and it finally bounces (days later due to...

    The Postal Service and its Money Orders: A cautionary tale

    I wish they'd make a sticky out of my post. I've posted this on this forum in several versions several times over the years. My experience comes from being a USPS window clerk employee for 3 miserable f'n years. The worst job I ever had, but I learned a LOT about USPS operations. The USPS could...

    Movie Theater Worst Actor/Actress ever....

    Wait; I'm only the second guy to say 'Meryl Streep'!!??? what the fuck is wrong with ya'll? Then there's Ann Archer, who nobody's mentioned. Jennifer Lopez; at least one guy listed her. Cameron Diaz who rightfully has fallen off the face of "the Hollywood earth". John Twang tops the list for...

    Movie Theater Old cowboy movies

    "Sharps... or some kind of buffalo gun. Or a cannon. He know when to shoot, an' he know when to move... and we have lost 5 more." On a sniper forum how can this movie not have been listed first!?? Most of the mainstream gritty westerns have already been listed; I'm a hair late. But here are...

    Maggie’s Projector screen

    I bought a Da-Lite Cosmopolitan 10 years ago. It runs fine and still reflects vivid coloring from our projector. They're kind of pricey now, but eBay has them for almost 1/2 price. That's where I bought mine.

    Buying Items off Sniper's Hide

    HD-Ghost's reply above to the original claim of USPS MO infallibility is dead balls on. My experience comes from being a USPS window clerk employee for 3 miserable years. The USPS could give a shit about your money order--all that matters to them regarding MO's is accounting. A MO is not treated...

    Maggie’s Going to New Orleans

    Not to start a fight--just personal experience. I've never been in the Quarter after 9pm. The two 'knife' incidents I referred to happened in broad daylight. The time I had to open the blade and take a step towards the stalker, it was 1030 in the morning on Canal St. The second time occurred at...

    Maggie’s Going to New Orleans

    Dunno if it made national news but there was a "gang-related" shooting in the Quarter last week. Sounded pretty random to me from the descriptions. One dead, nine injured, 4 still hospitalized. Pack if you can, and keep your head on a swivel. I live down here and don't like to visit the Quarter...

    Beethoven's ninth

    I prefer a stronger baritone. For 9th 'duty' I think there are only two choices, and second to the performer below (Talvela), my choice would be Kurt Moll. I don't think I've ever heard a recorded baritone do the 9th better than Martti Talvela. He belts it out from his shoes. Jones, Verrett...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Les Baer 1911 with 1.5 guarantee Problem

    That's about as well-said as I could do it, too! Some of us understand your disappointment/frustration in Baer's response time and "advice" (shoot it some more before sending it in). That's the way Baer works. You paid less for your gun than the comparable Wilson or Brown because it's...

    Clark Customs 1911 help...

    Ya got me curious, so I went over to the Clark website. Seems they've stopped taking in customer guns for modifications. It's the trend nowadays. Most premium 'smiths favor certain brands/models for a base gun; it can alleviate built-in 'problems' that accompany certain OEMs. I guess they all...
