G+16 Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Texas is like indiana, they kinda of figure that most people have been raised with guns and don't need a class on how to and when to fire them. BUT you anin't got no trees in TX! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benny hill Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 I was born just 10 miles from there & my dad is buried just down the road a few miles. The little gun shop has a shit load of guns in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackdragon Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Benny, How many is a sh$t load? Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferrell Spicer Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 The metric equivalent is an ass load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Putty Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Then whats a butt load? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merlin Orr Posted May 12, 2006 Author Share Posted May 12, 2006 Well, an East TX butt load is about a metric tonne. Now if you drive about 1100 miles (through the dense pine, oak and hickory forrests) to West TX, a butt load will fill about 1/2 of a 71 caddy's trunk. The main difference is related to the increased size of the East TX butt due to the Germanic genetic drift influence over the slightly shorter - but just as wide - Hispanic butt.. Hope this clears up your confusion, Sandoz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
George Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 if the shjtload is a SAE unit and the a$$load is a Metric unit, then the buttload must be an Avoirdupois unit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry White Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 Thats all well good and fine, but how many is a shit load of guns depends on if your standing there looking at them or carrying them to the next stage.------Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve J Posted May 13, 2006 Share Posted May 13, 2006 (edited) Texas is like indiana..., BUT you anin't got no trees in TX! G+16, You've been watching to much TV and B movies. Come to Texas and see for yourself. We've got sandy beaches, coastal plains, pine forests so thick you'll never find your way out, hard wood forests, grass covered prairies, rolling hills covered with cedar and all manner of oak trees, high desert, mountains, inland sand dunes. Everything. Come spend a few weeks just trying to see it all. And oh by the way, you'll be able to schedule your vaction so as to get in a pistol match every Saturday and every Sunday of the year, year round except for Christmas weekend.

Newguy Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Steve, you forgot to mention that G+16 should make sure he comes at the right time of the year. Summer... Enjoy the 96 deg. heat and the 98% humidity of Houston and Dallas. If that's not to your liking, head to West Texas and experience intense 105 deg. dry heat and hot winds. You haven't lived until you've shot a match in a Texas summer -- by 9am you're sweating buckets; by 1pm you're wondering if you got heat stroke. By 2pm you're willing to leave $30 worth of .38 super shells on the ground just to get into your air conditioned car and head home. You gotta love traffic to love Texas. As far as the Dallas Cheerleaders, don't know anyone that has ever dated one. I probably just hang out with the wrong crowd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liota Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 Newguy, I would give just about anything to be in Texas right now. The 95-degree heat sounds like heaven if it means I'm home. God knows I miss it. I miss my friends and family. You don't have to like traffic to be in Texas. In some West Texas towns, if you sit through one light cycle, that's a major traffic jam. I can live with that. Ya'll enjoy the shooting season this year. Shoot well. I'm living vicariously through you. Liota -in the ROK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After experiencing 125 degrees in Iraq and 140 degrees with Houston humidity in Kuwait, summer in Texas is sheer pleasure and child's play. Come to think of it. I never did mind it growing up. I get in a match every Saturday and every Sunday. The sweat is no sweat. Hydrate, use sun block, and quit your whinning.
