Tx-Dennis' #4 is great, but his #5 is today's winner! Ivan

For Y2K I had gallon canisters filled with 4 types of beans and one type of rice. In the mouth of each canister, I had a half inch of Bay Leaves to repel insects and add flavor to the food. When Y2K and the Echo were both a bust, we ate the food, it took my wife and last 2 kids about 3 or 4...

Mel Blanc's! Ivan

MY daughter is so like her mother (a very good thing!) in that she keeps her emotions under control very well. At her wedding, just before we went out to walk down the isle, I told her of when she was 4 and went around telling everyone who would listen "My daddy yuvs me!" At that point I got he...

I became a life member in 1979, and remember that attitude at the NRA and the OGCA! Things are a little better at NRA. But the OGCA is circling the drain. Ivan

I have a legitimate credit card with a $500 limit sacrificially for internet purchases. Once I use it 3 times or if used with a scammer, I call it in as lost giving the last authorized purchase. THe replacement arrives in a few days. Ivan

So, you told your wife that was 6" and now have to live by that measure? Ivan

I bought a used Glock 17 with a set of "Big Dot" sights on it. Very large white Dot front sight with tritium in center, and a wide "V" sight rear the width of the slide. IMHO< the best combat sight & worst target sight ever! Bring the dot up and place it on the desired dead item and mash the...

In our early 20's (circa 1978) our gunsmith gave a 32 ACP Ruby to my best friend and I. "See if you can fix this! It was a "L" shaped ball of rust that had sat on a bag of fertilizer for years. We took it to my friend's workshop, disassembled it with a two pound hammer, padded by a hunk of 2x4...

A friend of mine is now a retired oncology nurse, but before that he was a Navy Corpman. During part of his training, he was stationed at the hospital attached to Parris Island & Camp Lejeune. One night a random Chief told him to clean up the ward. As he was winding down, he spotted a filthy...

#3 for the win! Ivan

I think that's a great idea! I won't have to take any of the fallout! There is a group of us that went to school together and hung around each other for the last 50 years. Some of them will be speaking. I've laid down the law: NO HOLDING BACK! Ivan

My sons (born 1979-1984) & I love the movie! My wife and daughter just don't get it. But they don't get The Three Stooges either. Nothing like sitting in the living room with a big bowl of popcorn in your lap, surrounded by teenagers and laughing until your side hurt! That was Friday nights in...

Just got a case of ammo from Midway in less than 48 hours. They estimated delivery in 72 t0 96 hours. Central Mo. to Central O. I didn't think it would happen either. Ivan

I myself have made it 11.825 lustrums. I am also almost a fathom tall & 17.85 stone. My church is right at 7 leagues from home. At best I can consume a little over a flagon of mead! I must be getting old! Ivan

The Single Action Shooting Society (SASS) has banned them from their competitions, because of the potential safety issues. The safety declaration by Marlin was an attempt to head off possible lawsuits from people that had no real business handling century old guns of questionable design. The...
