While I was watching my Bruins bearly hang on against Michigan State on St Paddy's day the little people snuck into my house and drank some of my Guiness. They left the empty cans behind. So I figured the only thing to do was take them to the range:

I took a 17-4 8 3/8", 19-4 4" and 629-1 6" to properly prepare the cans for disposal. You may never guess which can got hit on the end with the .44 :)

The cans are now waiting for recycling. Gotta guard my fridge from those little people.

MMmmmm 629 ....
I'd call it a good a place to start as any ... but this raises a question I never really thought about till I read this ... just what is the ideal gun for dispatching wayward cans anyhow?
 
How about any handgun you could rightfullly call a hand "Can"non.
 
I hate short people!

The heartbreak of SMS....aka...."short man syndrome".

What makes these vertically challenged people walk around with these sawed off attitudes and short tempers?

I'd relish the opportunity to get at the base of this conundrum; however, I'm currently stumped. :confused:...:D
 
I would start a thread for the ideal Leprechaun gun, but it would probably get killed as fast as the zombie thread.
 
I see you helped dispatch a cigar as well. Can't tell what it is, myfirs guess was a Fuente Don Carlos, but the band isn't straight across the bottom with a black stripe. But, it reminds me of a saying of the season... "You know what really burns my @$$? A leprechan with a lit cigar in his mouth...". Stay safe!
 
A colony of moles finaly came out of their holes in the spring and was standing around looking the situation over. Mamma and papa moles were looking around for something to eat. Mamma turned around and asked junior what he saw. Junior just said, "molasses".

What makes us short folks get outta sorts are you big lumbering manjacks blocking out the sun, narrowing our view of the movie screen (thank you stadium seating!), and asking us "How's the weather down there?"!
I could almost kiss the guy who invented those knee knockers and head knockers aboard ship! That was a bloody good time there!;) Just kidding!! Dale
 
Guinness in a can is nitrogen-pressurized, unlike that horrid carbonated stuff in a bottle. They've eliminated the widget from the bottles.

+1 on this. Don't just walk by Guinness in a can if you see it on the grocery shelf. Yeah, maybe it isn't quite as good as from tap, but still mighty tasty.

And another thing.... Still an hour or so of daylight left. And seeing that stogie makes me want to go out on the deck with a favorite beverage, and light up a Short Story. Later.
 
When I saw the empty can of Guiness, I gett home sick to England (never been to Ireland) where they have Guiness on tapp in the pub. Thank you for ruing my evening. :)
 
Probebly Heineken, Amstel, Grols or an other brand. But I dont like Dutch cafe's or pubs. English pubs are much more an thing of the locals and are very nice to visit. I rather prefer to drink an Belgian Palmbier at home.

There is nothing quite like a draught of Guiness in a proper 20oz glass sitting at the back corner of the bar enjoying the tobacco of your choice-preferably a good briar filled with your favorite blend.
unfortunately it's hard to find a bar with Guiness on tap AND proper glasses AND someone who knows how to pour it. Harder still to find all of this in a bar that permits smoking. :(
 
Cheers Thuer,I've been to Amsterdam and saw the Heineken brewery.Too cool.
I don't care for Heineken so much though.
Amsterdam was a interesting place and the locals were nice.:)
As you know Amsterdam has some reputations.Most people don't see that.Most from America are there for the bad part.:rolleyes:
 
Amsterdam is not representative for the Netherlands. But in their whisdom the Citycounsel of Amsterdam has decide to eliminate the red light district for a very big part. With this decision they kill a part of the tourist income. But Hee this is Holland. We all be saints overhere.

Cajunlawer. The last time I have had a very good glass of Guiness was on a gunshow at Bisley. I was enjoy the Guiness and sitting on a long table with all kinds of British people I have never met before. I can tell you. It was big fun and have had a lot of good laughs and nice guntalk.
 
Funny you mention the British pubs.The first stop was one and it was the best of many we visited.
Even in Nurnberg Germany our favorite pub was British.
I like the German Pils. but that wheat stuff they can keep.
 
Back in the 70s I knew a midget. He worked where I was a guard. He was perfectly formed and a handsome devil. He was wild and would do wheelies and burn outs with a hot bike in the company parking lots. I had to come down on him for it when I first met him. At the time I would guess he was 24 years old but looked like a small 14 year old! Later he moved in with a girl friend and her kids about two houses down the street from me. He looked like he was one of her kids! He no sooner moved in with her a big neighborhood bully type kid informed him he had to fight him as all the kids in the area had to fight him! My little friend gave him the beating of his life. After that he came over on a rare cold rainy day when I was off work and wanted to go to a bar and play pool.
We went to a bar, he pulled out a big cigar and lit it, climbed a stool alongside me and ordered a drink. The bartender turned to me and said "Whatcha think yer doing? Ya cant bring yer kid in here! My little buddy whipped out his ID and the bar keep looked at it and just walked off in disbelief shakeing his head! It really was comical! Unfortunately, not long after that he got killed in a bad cycle crash.
