    Shooting a pistol

    Nothing handier than a pistol, but one of these has to be a close second. :D

    I take it you been collecting for a while? lol

    Howard Hughes...any good books?

    Hack's book may be either good or mediocre, depending on what you're looking for. It tends to focus more on his social life and less on his achievements, and there's a couple of places I found aviation-related technical aspects that didn't quite ring up. It wasn't quite what I was...

    Shooting a pistol

    I guess that's what I get for watching pre-war training films. Oh well. Old habits die hard, I guess. lol

    Help! What boots are these?? I need some

    If I didn't know better, I'd say you have a set of Viet Nam-era jungle boots that have been cut down to a lower-quarter shoe.

    The 20th Century Loco and Dreyfuss

    At once beautiful and tragic - not to mention a fine start to the day. Thank you. :D

    Kamikaze remembered

    Recognized - perhaps. However, as I understand, the Japanese are undergoing a cultural shift right now. Included in the change is the omission of certain acts committed during and prior to the Second World War. In fact, I believe certain sources in the education system over there...

    Shooting a pistol

    Some good points. However, it must be considered that the U.S. Military taught single-handed pistol shooting for the longest time (not sure if they still do - any active or recently active servicemen care to fill me in?). Personally, I find much the same advantage in one-handed shooting as...

    Spiffy. Might I inquire who does the envgraving?

    Century Park (short story)

    Precisely. Call it the distant echoes from "Of Mice and Men."

    Century Park (short story)

    Short might disagree, but...what can you do? [huh]

    Century Park (short story)

    Sorry. I forgot to mention - that was pretty much it. It would seem I need to clarify the ending somewhat. :eusa_doh:

    Century Park (short story)

    Kinda-sorta noir project here. I've already run it through the ringer a few times, and there's a couple of items that need adjusting, but I figured I'd pitch it to the crowd here and see what comes back. *** Century Park lay under a late November snow, the blanket of white cut through...

    Any writers?

    Hey, I'm only fourteen months late, but.... I have one about Texas during Prohibition and the Depression. Still mostly in the planning stages, though. lol

    Cool. Thanks.

    1911

    If you have the cash for it (I don't [huh]), it's worth taking a look at the U.S. Firearms Model of 1911. In my opinion, it actually looks better than the Colt reproductions - right down the available government stamps. http://www.usfirearms.com/cat/1911.asp

    Show us your sailor uniforms!

    For anybody interested in an old submarine sailor's take on the classic uniform, take a look here. http://www.olgoat.com/ You'll have to dig for it a bit. Click "After Battery" at the ribbon on the top of the page, and then do a search for "Old Rascals Will Remember". It's got some...

    Architecture

    I may have to hunt down this program of which you speak. Classy stuff, by the way. I especially like the two stone models in the original post, but the little roadside diner is pretty sweet, too.

    Show us your Guns!

    The stock was magnificent. The steel...not so much. For anyone interested in a trench gun, you might consider the Chinese imports. I have one, and they're a blast to shoot. Plus, you can collect major cool points for the barrel shroud. lol

    How Many of us Write?

    So, assuming a bumbling heathen newbie such as myself was interested in posting a tale, might I inquire as to which forum might be best suited to that end? At the moment I'd guess the Observation Bar, but feel free to correct me if I'm mistaken.
