    Show us your Guns!

    The carbines do give a large ball of fire when shot. I've only fired two different Mosin's (neither mine) and noticed that the trigger pull was very light. Is this typical for all Mosin-Nagant's?

    Speaking of Drive Ins?

    I remember being fascinated by "The Guiness Book of World Records" as a kid in the '70's. One of the facts I remember was the country with the most drive in theatres. It wasn't the US but the USSR that had the most.

    L.L. Bean Summer 2012 cover

    Well, as far differences go, I'm willing to bet that the child in the illustration is a boy and I'm fairly certain that the child in the photograph is a girl.

    Show us your Guns!

    Outstanding! Been thinking about getting one for years, just haven't "pulled the trigger" yet. And for less than $100, how can you go wrong? Probably my next purchase.

    Fantasy Vehicle

    There's too many cars out there I would love to have but I've narrowed it down to a few, all Packards. The National Packard Museum is located in my town (Warren, Ohio. Where the Packard automobile got it's start) Hope to own one some day but it'll probably be a Clipper. Not much chance it'll...

    Weird and Forgotten Movies

    Seeing this thread reminded me of "Fade to Black", a horror/sociopathic killer movie from 1980 that I saw when it came out(I was 14) but haven't seen since. Dennis Christopher is the main character who is obsessed with old movies and turns to murder when he is rejected by a Marilyn Monroe look...

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    This is being very nitpicky but just to add to the thread I thought I'd point out an innaccuracy in "The Untouchables" The scene is when Andy Garcia is drawing a bead on the bad guy in the train station. He's using a Smith & Wesson Military and Police which was available in the 1920's but the...

    The Movie and TV Show Idea Thread

    At work sometimes we'll play "Warren Fire Department: The Movie". Not for an actual plot line, but we'll discuss what actor would play our part in the movie. Edward Norton has been suggested for my part which is fine with me. Some of the suggestions for the other guys can get brutal.

    Speaking of vehicles, I regret having sold my '67 Mustang because I had nowhere to keep it.

    Period Films and Inaccuraces

    Watching "JFK" yesterday and one of the flashback scenes the day of the assassination showed a Ford Mustang that wouldn't come out for another 6 months. Also, in "Animal House" set in 1962 one of the songs used was "Cherish" by the Association which wasn't released until 1966.

    Victorian home bargains?

    I've always had an appreciation for Victorian era homes and would love to own one day, so I was surfing and fantasizing when I came across a site that makes me think of the possibilities. Now, a lot of the homes are out of my price range but some could be doable if I wanted to move. And after...
