Happy Hallobirthaween?

Diet Dr. Pepper.

Yeah, that scene is from the movie V for Vendetta when the totalitarian regime was in place.

So how much is a small order, Mike?

If memory serves, you weren't asking questions when you got your fingers slapped. There's a difference.

Good luck on getting through any faster on the 4th. Last time, I waited 3 - 4 hrs in line and spent most of the time checking the exit poll results on my PDA. I figured if our forefathers could give their lives fighting against the British, if our soldiers could give their lives fighting in hot spots all over the world, then I could spare 4hrs indoors, out of the rain, in a warm gymnasium waiting for my turn to cast a ballot.

Don't know, OS. They have been available for a while now but for some reason S&W never got around to updating their page. They aren't exactly known for keeping their site current though.

I have handled one of these in a shop once, have been tempted to buy one on more than a few occasions, but never fired one. This brings back that insatiable desire once more.

I know what I want to be doing on April 4th and 5th.

Hey guys, I found a picture from the Florida "Obama Live" event...

His mom took a picture of you and him making an exploded mess?

VOTING IS OPEN!!!

The poll is coming!

Same here.

Free weights every morning. Typically dumbells. I rotate through different major muscle groups, but I do curls, reverse curls and hammer curls every day no matter what. On the days that I am focusing on arms specifically I use heavier weights. On the other days I use lighter weights for those. Crunches every morning. Sometimes in the evening as well. The Doberman and I will be getting our butts out for walks in the evenings now that he's healed up from his surgery. I'm going to give this Cross Fit thing a look. I prefer to only run if I'm making my way to cover.

Nope. I've got a handful of the wadcutter bullets that he reloaded himself. Nothing hollow about them. They are nasty little sons of beeches.

That's sheer genius, Creeky.

Thank God you technically live in LaVergne. We don't need that sort of bad karma down here in Smyrna.

Hickory Hollow is swiftly becoming one of the few places where I would prefer to open carry. And by that I mean my SBR slung across my chest and my 1911 clearly visible on my hip. It was. My parents used to bring us down to Nashville in the 80's for shopping trips. We'd visit Hickory Hollow and then Rivergate. Neither place left me feeling unsafe back then. When I moved to Nashville in 1997, I made the mistake most people make. I moved to Antioch and lived in an apartment. My lease couldn't have been up fast enough. Our building was OK but that's because we had two Metro PD officers who lived in it and who parked their cruisers outside. All of the other buildings around us had "issues". The area has gone to complete and utter crap since then and I only go there now during daylight hours and refuse to go anywhere near it during the Christmas holidays. But... but... these are just hard working people trying to make it in this world!

Curve 8330 on Verizon here. Flawless. Absolutely flawless.

My two pumpkins for this year... #1) Chomp Chomp #2) Zombie Pumpkin I want to put a small plate with some dry ice inside the first one so that it bellows smoke from it's mouth. We'll see how that works out. The second one is my first attempt ever at "sculpting" a pumpkin and I used the face from one of the Zombie Targets for the template. I may need to shave some more of the pumpkin's meat out of the face to let more light through. I'll wait until Halloween before I do that though. I will try to take some better pictures tonight with my DSLR. These were hand-held shots using my wife's point and shoot.

I am going to extend the deadline for submissions to Midnight tonight (10/29/08) so that those who forgot to include a night-time shot can submit one. This also gives a few of you who were thinking that the deadline was midnight tonight a chance to get your pumpkin squared away and submitted. Thanks.

Guys, I am removing all of the off-topic remarks from this thread. Thread-drift is unnecessary in topical threads of this nature and serve only to erode the value of the thread itself. Please keep that in mind going forward. Thanks.

I'll PayPal you the $20 for the grips. By the time she gets around to being able to carry it, the nursing home won't allow her to have it.
