What kind of IDIOT carries a loaded revolver WITH THE HAMMER COCKED in the same hand...
Guns? I don't own no stinkin' guns . . . . . :D
Like most have said, just walk away.

France did help the US win our independence, after all. :super:
Maybe they only did it as a thumb in the eye to Britain but, regardless of their motives, the assist was badly needed at the time....
I don't know enough to say authoritatively but $41k seems awfully low for a real, non-kit 427 Shelby Cobra roadster. 'Less'n there was something really badly wrong with it, anyway.

Takeoff of a B-29 is, to my eye anyway, kind of like the lift-off of a Saturn 5 rocket. So agonizingly slow, you're sure they've...
We got to see Fifi actually flying some years ago at the Indy airshow. :super:

Ain't that the truth!
But that's what puts us a step above the wild creatures. Or so I thought.
Yes, we kill. Mostly to eat, sometimes for sport.
I'm no bleeding-heart namby-pamby. I eat meat. I hunt & fish. ...
I eat meat, I've never been opposed to hunting for food. To me, PETA stands for People Eating Tasty Animals.
And I have never been opposed to eliminating the fox which has been raiding your hen...
Two 8-inch Rodman cannon from 1865 at the Union County (Liberty, IN) courthouse are to be cleaned up & restored. :super:

All the best to you & the Major. :wave:
:dancingbanana: Ms. Gloria is back! :dancingbanana:
