    Notice the last three westerns have flopped?

    Actually there are a couple of western-style shooters out there in Video Game World. At least one of them was popular enough for a zombie remake, so there may be hope after all. ;)

    Notice the last three westerns have flopped?

    Agreed on Hollywood having no sense of a true Western. I'm pondering over the last Western besides the remake of True Grit that actually had character development and didn't fall completely into stereotypical cowboy character roles... Unforgiven? Hrm... it's like Shane meets Fist Full of...

    What exactly do I have

    Another resource you might look to is the WWI memorial museum in Kansas City. It has historians who might be able to cast more light on the shell.

    Show us your cat - the crazier the better

    This is my buddy, Pendleton. He is a Russian Blue. I adopted him from the local animal shelter. He had been mistreated before he came to the shelter, so I've been working with him for the last couple of years and he's become quite social and is very much my cat (or, in the words of Mister...

    Lessons learned from the recent Guns/Ammo Shortage

    I learned that I could make do with substitutes to keep me in practice with basics without spending lots of money every time I turned around. For less than $100 I bought some decent spring-powered Airsoft pistols (don't laugh) and a bunch of splatter targets. For $20 I bought 10,000 .20 bbs at...

    RIA'S ?

    I'm seriously looking at getting a RIA 1911. I haven't heard too many negatives about RIA generally and I love the feel. I was considering the 9mm version, but was also curious whether the double stack 9mm/.45 versions out there was as reliable as the single stack. Thoughts? Also - is it...

    Thoughts on the Ammo Situation

    I agree with you. Government structures and laws are in place to stop price gouging on items we need (gasoline in emergencies, etc.). Ammo doesn't fall into that category. That said, I'm not sure excessive materialism is the only thing that drives our economy. Most responsible consumers work...

    Ramblings on AR-15s

    Cabela's in Kansas City had about 15 ARs behind the counter along with assorted 10/22s and 15-22s yesterday. Salesman we spoke with said that the buyers are focusing on ammo rather than rifles now that the panic is over.

    Are people not taught anymore?

    I've always loved knives but I never received much training as a kid. I had a talent for slicing myself accidentally. When I was about 12, my grandfather gave me a tiny pocket knife and I promptly went out into their yard to show it off to some friends by carving up an orange off the tree. The...

    Desktop died Advice

    First: I'd recommend that you consider purchasing an external power surge protector, sometimes called a "UPS." It will give your valuable electronics a better chance at surviving random surges. Second: Do you know which parts of your system were fried in the power surge? If not, you need to...

    Budweiser PR problem?

    Adolphus Busch just revoked his NRA membership because he apparently supported the Manchin/Toomey bill and the AWB. Do you think this will affect Budweiser beer sales when the news starts reporting non-Boston related stories? Adolphus Busch IV resigns NRA membership | ksdk.com
