Precision40 Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Oddly enough, the first thing I noticed is that she was carrying a beeper. Who carries beepers anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhino Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Hookers? I've found that for my ... staff ... beepers are more cost effective than mobile telephones. They can't make money for me if they're calling their babysitter or chatting with their mothers on the phone, but I need to be able to "dispatch" them when necessary.

spook Posted February 13, 2004 Share Posted February 13, 2004 Wait! Are you saying you met a woman ... with a temper?I can't believe it! LMAO, I knew when I wrote that down it was completely stupid I meant to say she had a "different kind" of temper. The kind that makes you call 911 when you're about to disagree with her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duane Thomas Posted February 16, 2004 Share Posted February 16, 2004 That target coulda been at 5 yards. Wouldn't surprise me a bit. That's the distance at which I start brand new shooters. It makes no sense to have newbies trying to hit at extended distance their first time shooting a handgun. They won't be able to get any hits, it's discouraging. OTOH most can get good hits at five yards. This was the woman's very first time firing a handgun, if we can believe the text. She has every right to be proud of those groups which are quite good for a first-timer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 OK, now I need to know whaddayamean with "temper" , apart from what I can find in my dictionary (and, no, resorting to the urban dictionary didn't help ). Is this some kind of term we need to include in the "British-ism" thread for better comprehension of everybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skywalker Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 This was the woman's very first time firing a handgun If the photos are from real shooting, and not a stage set-up, I guess it is clear that it was the very first time she shot a handgun... ...on the second one she won't have those long fingernails anymore...

ErikW Posted February 18, 2004 Share Posted February 18, 2004 To say somebody has a temper is to say he or she easily becomes angry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skywalker Posted February 19, 2004 Share Posted February 19, 2004 Well, actually you said pretty well what you intended to say, but you said it in the typical form we use to translate the native americans trying to speak. I mean, in comics, films or whatever else, it is common to translate native americans speech with all verbs in infinitive: translating back to english what you wrote, it sounds something like: She's short-tempered, she to fly into a rage! Now I hope I have you all confused enough... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
