I tend to agree. I haven't watched much television since the awful programming of the 70s. Cigarettes and mind altering drugs can go too. But I DO enjoy a cold beer, a glass of red wine, and even a nice brandy now and then. Alcohol, like it or not will always be around I think.
Yeah. Now yer talkin'. Auto makers need to make more cars like that with a real retro look to them. All they toss us is a lousy bone once in a while, like Chrysler's PT Cruiser. [huh] Was a small step in the right direction, but they failed to follow through. Given the success of that thing...
The Mini 14 it is for me then. :D Will be my next purchase. I love the fact that it comes in NATO .556, yet it has a cool retro look. Almost like a .30 caliber carbine from WW2.
Couldn't help but notice that when Atticus whacked that mad dog, the rifle had absolutely NO recoil! :rolleyes: Or...

I think the cup is for those old vicars that like to camoflage a wee nip in the afternoon. ;)
I'd be willing to bet that they still work too. Recently saw a video of some guys firing an old Lebel using original ammo. 1890's vintage I believe. It was click,...bang,...about a 1 second delay, but the stuff still worked!
My bane is gin. :spit: Disgusting stuff! Lifted some from dad's liquor cabinet when I was about 15 or so. Was like drinking turpentine. Even the slightest whiff of the stuff makes me turn green now.
I just watched a mini documentary entitled "Men at Lunch". All about the 11 working stiffs who were immortalized in that iconic photograph from 1932 as they were on their lunch break sitting atop a steel beam about 800 feet above New York City. It was during the building of Rockefeller Center...
