"I have nipples, Greg. Could you milk me?"

You don't understand.. they killed my dog.

Speeding and? Speeding and? Speeding and? CANDY BAR!

I was a little surprised after I did a search and didn't see this topic. I'm sure we all have favorite one liners. "Bow to your Sensei, Bow to your Sensei." This one is a little off the beaten path, but: From The Ringer, "When the ^%*& did we get ice cream!"

Mine was the 2003 Area 6 match. On the advice of some of the shooters in my club, I became an RO and volunteered. No need to worry about my inexperience as I spent my days resetting steel on 2 Texas Stars. So, I was able to shoot the match Friday with the rest of the RO's. My group from Jacksonville, FL had all registered/volunteered at the same time, so I missed getting squaded with them. But, I was fortunate enough to get to shoot with Jerry and Kay. On one stage, Jerry's 625 stopped firing. Jerry kept at it though, click, click, click, click, boom, click, click, boom. The RO just let him keep going. Finally, he figured out that he could "fan" the revolver and it would work about 90% of the time. So, he'd take aim, keep the trigger squeezed, and thumb cock and release his hammer. And that, boys and girls, is the stage where I smoked the faster revolver shooter in the world. I beat him by a good 10 seconds. Of course, the first stage we shot, it had something like a 24 round count. I had to reload my 40 STI once, Jerry had to reload 3 times. Humbling... very, very humbling.

Jacksonville, FL. I lived and shot down there for a year. Following a job opportunity, I left for Nashville, TN, and basically quit shooting. I left Nashville after 8 months for Fort Worth, TX, and all my time was spent selling guns instead of shooting them. Now, I'm working at a gun and knife distributor, which means a normal Monday through Friday job, which leaves Saturdays open again.

Does anyone have any suggestions on where to buy reloading equipment and supplies in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex? Also, what are some of the better online sources? I haven't been shooting for a while, and when I was reloading regularly, I'd just buy my supplies at Gateway Rifle and Pistol in Jacksonville. Or when I was in Alaska, a bunch of us would get together and place a large order to help with the shipping cost. So, I'm not a new shooter, but need assistance because I've been out of the loop for several years now. I used to buy through TNT Reloading. I'd appreciate any other suggestions.

This has got to be one of the funniest I've heard of in a long time. I think this guy should have been promoted, not fired. This is a true story from the WordPerfect Help line which was transcribed from a recording monitoring device in the customer care department. Needless to say, the Help Desk employee was fired: however, he/she is currently suing the WordPerfect organization for "Termination without cause." Actual dialogue of a former WordPerfect Customer Support employee (now I know why they record these conversations!) "Ridge Hall computer assistance; may I help you?" "Yes, well, I'm having trouble with WordPerfect." "What sort of trouble?" "Well, I was just typing along, and all of a sudden the words went away." "Hmmm. So what does your screen look like now?" "Nothing." "Nothing?" "It's a blank; it won't accept anything when I type." "Are you still in WordPerfect, or did you get out?" "How do I tell?" "Can you see the C: prompt on the screen?" "What's a sea prompt?" "Nevermind, can you move your cursor around the screen?" "There isn't any cursor: I told you, it won't accept anything I type." "Does your monitor have a power indicator?" "What's a monitor?" "It's the thing with the screen on it that looks like a TV. Does it have a little light that tells you when it's on?" "I don't know." "Well, then look on the back of the monitor and find where the power cord goes into it. Can you see that?" "Yes, I think so." "Great. Follow the cord to the plug, and tell me if it's plugged into the wall." "Yes, it is." "When you were behind the monitor, did you notice that there were two cables plugged into the back of it, not just one?" "No." "Well, there are. I need you to look back there again and find the other cable." "Okay, here it is." "Follow it for me, and tell me if it's plugged securely into the back of your computer." "I can't reach." "Uh huh. Well, can you see if it is?" "No." "Even if you maybe put your knee on something and lean way over?" "Oh, it's not because I don't have the right angle; it's because it's dark." "Dark?" "Yes, the office light is off, and the only light I have is coming in from the window." "Well, turn on the office light then." "I can't." "No? Why not?" "Because there's a power failure." "A power...... a power failure? Aha, Okay, we've got it licked now. Do you still have the boxes and manuals and packing stuff your computer came in?" "Well, yes, I keep them in the closet." "Good. Go get them, and unplug your system and pack it up just like it was when you got it. Then take it back to the store you bought it from." "Really? Is it that bad?" "Yes, I'm afraid it is." "Well, all right then, I suppose. What do I tell them?" "Tell them you're too damn stupid to own a computer."

Ah, have faith my brother! A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. Infringed is the key word. It does not say denied, or restricted, but infringed. So, right now, if you went to buy a firearm, would you say that filling out a 4473 might infringe your right. Let's say the computer was down at NICS.. would your right be infringed then. Yes, the 2nd amendment was written for the people, and not the National Guard. A lot of unconstitutional laws are about to be deemed, unconstitutional. I know this probably belongs in a political forum, so to bring it back to humor... I wonder what Hilary is going to look like when she realizes this???

This might get pulled, but I can't help myself. Try this one... saying it aloud.. I'm Sofa King. We Todd did. Enjoy!

Forest and Field in Connecticut, the Gun Center in Buffalo, NY, Cheaper Than Dirt in Fort Worth, TX, and Denny's in N. Kansas City will all have STI Spartans tomorrow, or shortly thereafter. They are well worth checking out if you live close to either of these stores.

Just looking to know if they are on par with Wilsons, and some good and or bad experiences.

A friend developed the following simple exercise for us older guys to build muscle strength in the arms and shoulders for offhand shooting. It's so easy I thought I'd pass it on. Three times a week seems to be best for building and maintaining the strength we need. Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-pound potato sack in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, then relax. Each day, you'll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-pound potato sacks, then 20 pounders. As a last step, try to do it with a 50-pound potato sack in each hand, and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. After you feel confident at that level, put a potato in each sack and start over. Norm

To quote Cath Sloss (of Sloss Furnace fame in Birmingham, AL) "Here's to you, and here's to me. If ever we should disagree, here's to me, and to hell with thee!"

The gunzilla removed 90% of the carbon after just letting it soak for 15 minutes, then taking a copper brush to it. Best thing I've seen. Gunzilla If you are in the D/FW Metroplex, Arlington Arms (where I work) has a small sample of it left. I'm having trouble getting the boss to order more of anything at the moment (for example, we only have one used Glock in stock) . But, the gunzilla is well worth the $8-$10 to try it out.

Lite - Open Medium - Limited Heavy - Production Just a thought My vote is SG Lite, SG, and SG Heavy

I'm willing to bet its a recoil spring/guide rod problem, where the guide rod slipped down. I'm not recommending, and I'm not a gunsmith or even a Glock Armorer, but I had that happen to me, and held the take down lever down, and took a rubber mallet to the back of the slide. It came off with no damage done to my gun. Again, not a recommendation, just experience on what I did.

Gunzilla Web Page We just got a stainless Ruger Single Six in that I'll clean tomorrow, and if I get positive results, I'll get pictures on Friday.

A couple of years ago, I had Claudio Salassa down at Briley build an STI. I had a laundry list of specifications, the first being the STI SOCOM frame (since discontinued). Claudio and I talked extensively about the gun, then built it up for me. For whatever reason, the gun came in without the SOCOM frame. I picked up the phone at the gunstore I was taking the transfer, and called Briley. Claudio offered for me to keep the gun while he made a new one. He offered up front after apologizing for the mess up. (I sent the mistake gun back to him without taking the transfer. I didn't want him to loose any more money than was necessary on the deal.) Now I work at a small gunstore in the Dallas/Ft Worth area. We have been looking for a competent general gunsmith for years. Our current gunsmith "thinks" he can perform any task, and with a 3 day turn around. I've had to apologize to more customers, and warn a lot of customers off, pleading with them to take their gun somewhere else. One such customer brought us a Wilson Combat, and wanted the Ed Brown Bobtail mainspring housing installed, and needed us to drill the new pin holes. He was going to file down the frame, but didn't want to buy the Ed Brown jig for the new holes. Our gunsmith uses what looks like a hand held drill and butchers this guys frame. The holes were too big and not in the right place. Before I took the frame in to give to our gunsmith, I told the customer that if this were my gun, there is no way I would give it to our gunsmith. (Our recourse on this, for those who are interested, our gunsmith filled the holes and the customer took his gun to someone else. The gunsmith lost his time, but no extra money.) Briley has the resources and the reputation, and to me, that is well worth the extra money. Moral of the story, you can pay too little for a product, but you can never pay too much.

There is a new product on the market called Gunzilla. I used it on my 1911 when the sample came in the mail, and it worked great. Removed all the carbon, cleaned the barrel better than it had been for a while, and left a light film on the gun that is supposed to be a rust preventive. Plus, you can soak your fingers all day in the stuff as it is supposedly all natural plant extracts. I'm not big on CLPs, but this product has changed my mind. P.S. Don't tell Brian, but I even left the Slide Glide off the gun while I was trying this out. Really, very impressive stuff. Let me know if anyone is interest in a contact for these guys, and I'll check the information at work on it.
