  1. Never quite outgrew playing with Barbie dolls in the bathtub.
  2. Excellent, thanks for the clarification. That's almost exactly what I thought it meant.
  3. Applied for carry permit for a sling shot. Bet he's not the only one
  4. Very impressive work. I can't believe how clean those lines are and they stay clean all the way thru every curve. I can't even tell if he ever picked up a tool and moved it.   I've got some old shotties I'd love to have something like that done to.
  5. Once locked himself in his car, had to sleep there for 2 days until someone let him out.
  6. Has a "Roll Tide" tattoo on his butt that he only shows to his closest friends.
  7. He believed ANY campaign promise...EVER.
  8.   I'd like some clarification on assault vs battery. IIRC, you can assault someone without even touching them (e.g. throwing a punch vs landing a punch)?   Does this same hold true for agg. assault (i.e. you attempted to use a weapon on them)?
  9. I like earplugs better, especially when shooting rifles, since they don't interfere with a good cheek weld.   However, wearing earplugs at public ranges doesn't allow you to hear range commands very well, let alone the smack talk your shooting buddies are saying about your groups (wait...maybe that's a good thing).   Plus, ear muffs help mitigate the effects of bone conduction a little better. From what I've read, repeated exposure to loud sounds with only ear plugs can still cause hearing damage as the bones around the ears transmit sound. Wearing muffs can reduce that, but I'm not sure how much of real risk that poses.
  10. Bought the DVD, so he could pause/slo-mo on the good parts.
  11.   I think she rides the short bus to school
  12.   I feel the same way about rails on 1911's as many people do about putting an SKS or Mosin in a black plastic stock. Only, my opinion of both make me a hypocrite, because I don't like how rails look on a 1911, but I don't mind seeing an old rifle get modernized furniture.   edit: Plus, I'm even more hypocritical than you think...I have a several guns with tacky rails. One, my bedside G17, even has a light attached to it.
  13.   you can pick up a [url="http://www.midwayusa.com/product/531741/shooting-chrony-f1-chronograph"]cheap chrony[/url] at MidwayUSA for under $80 (but it won't work indoors in dim lighting and fluorescent lights give the cheap ones fits, even with light difussers).
  14.   You have mighty high expectations for 9mm SD ammo. Methinks you'd be hard pressed to "need" to take a 100yd shot in self-defense. :)
  15. I couldn't bear to have spend my hard-earned money on a 1911 with a tacky rail, but I could overlook FCS on a beauty like this. Of course for that money, I could find one without them.
  16.   ^^^THIS^^^   I can't stand rails, loaded chamber indicators, front serrations, or wrap around grips on 1911's. Of the bunch, the rail is much worse than front serrations. I do like checkered mainspring housing and front strap, Novak sights, and extended beavertails, though.
  17. I've been cheering for Carl this season for being a lil bada$$ and taking things like a man (or in the case of his mom, better than a man...compared to his dad). The more I think about that, the more it kind of makes me feel sorry for him. He's making cold, calculating decisions that he shouldn't have to make at his age. Sure it will make him tough, but it's just as apt to make him a monster.
  18.   All season I've been whining about their marksmanship too. They can't hit the broad side of a barn with a shoulder fired rifle.   Yet last season when they are overrun at the farm and escaping, they're all capable of one-handed head shots from moving vehicles with handguns. WTF?!!
  19. IMO, both sets have HUGE advantages over the other.   Hornady pros: -bullet seating tube to guide bullets into die -locking rings are excellent -decapper has a longer carbide insert that sizes more smoothly -more accurate fine-tuning of the seating/crimp/etc.   Hornady cons: -locking rings don't fit a 4-hole Lee turret (they're too wide to get adjusted correctly) -need extra station to flare the case mouth and doesn't accept powder measure   Lee pros: -powder thru die is a MUST have for turrets/progressives -they work just fine   Lee cons: -they just work "fine", nothing great about them -very hard to fine-tune the seating/crimping   I'm using the best of both worlds: I use a Hornady decapping die, Lee powder-thru/flare die, Hornady bullet seating die, and Lee Factory Crimp die in my Lee 4-hole turret press. I use a Hornady decapping die, Dillon powder-thru/flare die, Dillon powder-check die, Hornady bullet seating die, and Lee Factory Crimp die in my Dillon 650.   ...hope that helps
  20.   I totally expected Rick's group to have locked the doors out in front of them and be locking doors behind them to trap them down there with the walkers. That would have been so cool.       Come on, man. It's better than those episodes of Dancing With The Stars you watch with the old lady. .  
  21. Congrats on defecting, it's not always easy to escape...and welcome.
  22. I agree with your point, but in most cases the average person isn't shackled to a computer or free to stand in a line at Walmart every morning. We are stuck doing without, waiting this craziness out, or paying too much.
  23. i freakin hate CTD too, but was willing to hope that was a typo and they meant $16.69/box. So, I checked their other 9mm ammo prices and saw this: http://www.cheaperthandirt.com/product/AMM-4700 Charging $69.59 for Tula!! Screw these guys and any jacka$$ that buys anything from them, allowing them to stay in business.
  24. He can't shave, that's his self-defense beard.
  25. I tried this suggestion and I switched from corn cob to walnut about the same time. It cut down my tumbling time by half or more. The dryer sheets soak up almost all the dust, especially if you have a little car polish in the mix as well. The polish seems to help the dust stick to the dryer sheets even better.
