I have a near neighbor who is 81 years old. He keeps his sheep on my land and comes round to check them. Then he makes me go out to one of the local bars and drink beer. I hate going out drinking, but feel obliged to accompany such an elderly gent. He drives like a hooligan and asks me if I am...

I have posted on this forum about hunting in the past. To me hunting is about man against beast, and scopes and modern technology change the odds too much for my liking. I have several Winnie 94s in different calibers (the 30-30 with no frills is my favorite), and a replica 1887 lever action...

I am sick of hearing about the person heading a committee (life is full of committees these days) being called the chair rather than the chairman. A chair is something we sit on. If some PC person of either gender, or of neutral gender, or even a gender bender (I'm not homophobic, honestly -...

Just because they have, or had, a different point of view doesn't make them scumbags. Calling names lowers the tone of the arguement, and it lowers your personal standing. We all have the right to have our own beliefs, and to express them. I do believe that your constitution, that you rely on...

If you receive official paper Check against PC translator Then with simple play on words Tell the stupid, mad ***turds That in all reality You are parent number three

I read this quickly without my reading glasses, and thought you had said a couple of virgins. Couldn't figure out the logic of your comment, as they (the virgins, not the explorers) hadn't managed to get some other things done so far. And there wouldn't have been many of them out West in those...

One of the guns they took with them was a large caliber air rifle. There is no definitive record of what it was, but it was once assumed to be made by Isaiah Lukens of Philidelphia, or his father. However, they only made a single shot rifle and there is documentary evidence that it was a...

It is sad that no-one has picked up the basic error in the OPs preparation of the ideal meal. The wine that you drink while you are preparing the meal. I like the idea of everyone helping with the preparation (but I live on my own) and that makes a good choice of wine essential. If the meal...

Just remember that for some unfortunate people there is confusion between father/uncle/brother/cousin as they could all be the same person, so be grateful you have a choice. Just disregard the burocrats and write what you want to write. You stand a chance of being right. They never will be...

Sometimes I sit at the computer with a nice hot cup of tea and open a thread, and start reading without looking at the date of the original posting. When I get to page six I need a pee. By the time I have finished peeing I have forgotten what I was doing, and make a cup of tea. I then start...

Surely one solution to your problem, instead of a more poweful 38 Sp, is to reload 357s with a slightly reduced load giving a more comfortable recoil - unless someone says this is not a good solution.

I divorced mine long before cell phones came out. She doesn't need to call me for anything. She's already got my money. I have only one ring tone. It's horrible but it stands out in the crowd. I never have to check my phone if I hear a call tone because no-one else has that horrible noise. It...

Just found this posting entirely by chance. Nice to be missed. I have posted a few times in the last month or so. I certainly am OK thanks. I recently visited the local gendarmerie in connection with the renewal of my permit. I asked the gendarme dealing with my case what he had. It was a SIG Pro.

As an ousider, I don't think there will be any drastic changes. An "assault weapon" ban. But I have absolutley no idea of what an "assault weapon" is. Some appear to be military looking semi-auto .22s. Wow, they are dangerous. 10 shot magazines. But doesn't that just encourage people to...

It is nice to see that for many of you the most important thing was spending the day with family or receiving family news, or receiving gifts of great sentimental value such as dcxplant's photo album and even paladin's unexpected and generous gift from a friend. I have no family in France. Two...
