It was a good, not great, hospital when I worked there in '01, but word is that the place has gone downhill along with the surrounding area. They had to shut down the labor and delivery wing due to massive losses due from delivering anchor babies (I heard, can't verify, so take with a grain or six of salt).

I'm with you, McA. I love YouTube, and I love gun blogs, but it's only a matter of time before a combination of the two, with a side of ignoramus / willfully stupid moran, is used as an indictment of gun owners in the press, if not in the courts. Oh, and Voldemort. Not a big help.

7th symphony. Fantastic dynamics.

Embedding disabled. Shucks. Aloha Snackbar!

I'm not sure where the joke is...if you know, elaborate. Otherwise, I'll just assume Germans aren't funny, and laugh out of reflex when someone speaking English stops for a moment. "Ja, das ist komisch, richtig? Wir sollen jetzt lachen? Sehr gut dann werden wir lachen und fröhlich sein, wie wir tun sollen." /"Yes, this is funny, right? We're supposed to laugh now? Very good, then we will laugh and be merry, as we are supposed to do." - Not my translation, I don't speak German.

Have some orange juice and relax. You're in a safe place.

1. We are badly out of sync - I am slow to return fire. This thread will be unreadable for any followers. Sorry. 2. I've never been to Germany, so no, I didn't get the Dusseldorf joke. Care to enlighten? If it makes the video better, I'm all ears. Or eyes, whatever.

It's that feeling you get north of the pants when you hear something pretty.

Tommy is not from Mortalia, he's from Australia.

Somewhere in your cold Gary Oldman heart, you felt a twitch. Admit it.

For any Nashvillians (or Nashvillains, if you prefer that): there is a Dept. of Safety office in the TN Tower downtown, the entrance is on 7th, south of Church St., I think. It's the tallest building in the Capitol area, so it's not hard to find. It's empty during the day, but gets busy in the afternoon and evening. The staff said that if you get in there between buses, the wait isn't bad even during the late afternoon / evening crush.

This is Tommy Emmanuel. Chet Atkins bestowed the title of "Certified Guitar Player" on him, and before old Chester passed, he was awful stingy with that. On the first vid, skip to 1:05 if you don't want to listen to the talking. The second video will make you smile if you a) ever tried to play guitar, or love the Beatles. That should cover most people. YouTube - Tommy Emmanuel - Train To Dusseldorf YouTube - Tommy Emmanuel - Here Comes The Sun / mix Enjoy!

I have yet to fit my old Blazer with the tactical amphibious combat upgrade, so it looks like I'll be flying. +1 BigPoppa for the AA info - Orbitz didn't show that.

I know, this is an odd place to post a travel thread, but my experience with TGO says somebody on here might know, so it's worth a shot. One of my best friends is moving to Bonaire (Netherlands Antilles), and I'll be going to visit, enjoying the island, the diving, etc. Does anyone know how to get there from Nashville without spending the night in Ecuador? My Orbitz results put me through Miami or Houston, and then an overnight in Quito, Ecuador, before connecting to a KLM into Bonaire. It looks like KLM only flies in once or twice a day, always from Quito, and I'm not sure how I feel spending the night there. My Spanish-Fu is not strong, and Central America is, well, Central America. Do your thing, knowledge filled gun-toting crazy people. Thanks!

I"M glad you :cool:LIKED IT??!!!!The prev POST has A THUMB SAFETY!!!!!!

Best description I've ever heard. As a self-taught fairly new shooter, I know the feeling. It would have been nice to have a mentor, but I didn't have one available, so I've made do. I'd be willing to bet that my shooting is not as good as it could be, had I had some good instruction, and I may still seek some out via TGO. The simile did fall short in one respect - the one big difference between range and restroom is eye discipline. You can look at the guns in the stall next to you, ask about them, and even provide compliments without either a hospital visit or restraining order forthcoming.

So where can I find a featherweight .338 semi-auto mag-fed SBR that fires gravel, ball bearings, and baby food with equal lethality, is accurate out to cruise missile range, holds 200 rounds, fits both Minnie Pearl and Andre the Giant equally, never fails (in fact, performs better after submergence in mud, sand, hotpatch, and hydrochloric acid), aims itself, and puts the seat down every time? It would go well with my polymer framed NIghthawk 1911-trigger having high-cap 18mm with 2" barrel, ragged-hole at 50 yards shooter that easily conceals at 4 o'clock under a jockstrap (also occasionally a loincloth, just to show Ted Nugent what's up). It has picatinny rails on its picatinny rails. And yeah, it's suppressed. You know that Steven Seagal movie where he brags about only being able to hear the bolt? I actually made the can on set, out of spare parts leftover from set design. For good measure: YOU just CAN'T go WRONG with a 40mm Grenade LAUNCHER!!! I SNEAK around PRACTICING ROOM-CLEARING drills with mine IN A MAJOR METRO AREA!!! BUT I'm very SAFE!!!!!!!!!!!! /Seriously, I'm copying and pasting the original post for any future silly arguments on gun boards. The Holy Grail of guns does not now, nor ever will, exist. Engineering is about balancing compromises. Whoever wrote that has a flair for satire. Sorry for the idiocy of this post, and the 45 seconds I've just stolen from you. Mea Culpa. Oh, and: CONTACT!

I've heard that thing points real naturally, so long as your hands don't conform to normal human dimensions. My wrists hurt looking at it.

It appears Mikhail Kalashnikov has now fully embraced capitalism, and gotten out of the umbrella business. He has licensed his name to a Vodka distiller. Celebrate 2010 with a Kalashnikov! | Danger Room | Wired.com Sorry for the "Danger Room" link, with all the attendant comment retardery, but I thought this was still postworthy. The actual Kalashnikov Vodka website does not feature a) the AK-shaped bottle in a wooden crate, nor Russian models in evil body-hugging commie lycra, waiting to steal George C. Scott's male essence. In the interest of providing optimal coverage, I've given you the first link; click through to MK's site at your leisure.

Drink enough of them, and they all come with free goggles. I don't know a guy who hasn't been issued a set once or 90 times.

When you find a clean one, let me know. IMHO, American Eagle is the best (9mm experience only), with PMC and Blazer Brass being the dirtiest I've tried.

Sticking with the beer metaphor, Blue Moon is .32 ACP. It goes great with a purse, and it's what you turn to only when you have no other choice.

I'm drinking one now. While the draft can is good ordnance, the platform the drinker chooses is easily as important. Straight-sided pint glasses don't provide the same rate of cascade as a tactical curved pint glass with factory logo. While the plain old pint glass may be fine for casual plinking, a true Guinness glass should be used in any SHTF / high-volume tactical beer drinking scenario. CONTACT!

I think all TV situations involving guns need more tactical monkey-rolls.
