Forensics Doc Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 I remember the good old days when it was Playboy that was received through the mail in a plain brown wrapper, not gun magazines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi-Power Jack Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yeah, everybody thought sex was bad and guns were good - Now it's the exact opposite. As my GrandFather told me when he was 97, "I've lived too long". (But, I do enjoy the fact that sex is now GOOD - I always knew it, but couldn't convince lot of other people back in the 50's and 60's - YES, 1950's, NOT 1850's).

According to my "calendars" that I saved from the 80's, when I was attending Princeton University, it was the 19's, not the 18's. Oh, and I LOVE beer.

perttime Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) In the gold old days, there weren't a gazillion different Divisions that Practical Shooters could argue about.

I used to call my Dad’s slide rule, “ slide wrong” when I went to engineering school. Tried it but got my answers wrong most of the times, hence the name. I can’t get it right every time I used it.
