    I HATE EBAY....

    Hammer- welcome to the party, pal!...to quote Die Hard. Interesting slant on the Ebay thing. I too have caught that use of verbiage "unique" in ads. We always return to "vintage" tis and "vintage" that. Yeah, everything is vintage from some era even if its 1990s. I've seen tons of...

    Is Style Biological?

    I've seen some pretty bizarre and even worthless threads on this site but this is really stretching it.

    Paramarines!

    There was another that was touted to be a very nice piece the Marlin UD M42. http://world.guns.ru/smg/smg67-e.htm It was 9mm but a few .45s were made. Big mystery is what happened to some 15,000 shipped to France captured by the Germans.

    Thompson M1A1

    How is anyone able to legally obtain larger than federally specified mags? The Thompson M1 could not handle a 50 round drum. Prior models could. They came out with a 30 round mag to somewhat compensate. The model 21A handled not only the 50 but a 100 round drum as well. The M3 later had...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    Finally saw the Black Dahlia on HBO. Frankly wasn't too impressed with the script. The thing was way to uneven. It was one of those movies that has a bunch of stuff going on in parrallel and then ties it all up in the last 5 minutes, which I hate. 1 star for the script and 1 1/2 stars for...

    I HATE EBAY....

    Yeah, you're legitimately buying and selling for profit. That's fine. But for some people that inherit a house full of a deceased relatives "stuff" for example, it is daunting. If you're not familiar with the stuff, what is it all worth? Are the dozens upon dozens of knick knacks and...

    The lost art of leftovers

    We can attribute the super sized portions here to competition amongst eateries they say. There is probaly something to that. I'm one of those people that doesn't believe in wasting food so I usually finish it all.:o

    What Make You Nostalgic?

    OK there is probably some catalyst that makes your mind go off to its happy place in the vintage past. Is it when you don your vintige clothes or hat? When you watch old movies? When you pick up a book about the vintage era? Music? What? I'd say for me it is the WW II movies that puts me in...

    Thompson M1A1

    I find it curious that aeveryone doesn't know that the forged metal Thompson is a superior made weapon. The grease gun was stamped metal with the idea of speed of manufacture as a primary thing. Didn't matter if it didn't last as there were lots more in inventory to replace it. Rate of fire...

    I HATE EBAY....

    For all the hassle it can be it makes just donating all your "stuff" to some charity, get a receipt, fill it in for the amount you value your stuff at and take it off your taxes, sound attractive. Before they changed the rules about vehicles I donated 2 cars and got average Bluebook value to...

    Showmanship and Defeat

    Placing relative importance on this Ebay and all the "collectable" stuff is the 1step in admitting how silly it is to get caught up in the artifical frenzy of bidding for someone else's junk. Being able to place one maximum bid and walking away and not getting tricked into "just a dollar...

    The resurgence of Vinyl & the end of CDs?

    Beguine- there are a few artists having short runs on vinyl done but RELATIVE to CDs the amount manufactured is nothing. Nobody is doing releases on vinyl only either.

    The lost art of leftovers

    We eat leftovers. And about once a week I scramble 5-6 eggs with 2 types of cheese and all the leftovers- any vegtables, beans or bits of meat.[huh]

    Hello all you wonderful people out there in the dark!

    I think for me John Wayne and Elizibeth Taylor. I like comedies and the W.C. Fields movie "It's A Gift" is my all time favorite.

    Thompson M1A1

    It could have started out as an officers' weapon but certainly wasn't for long. Talked to too many that weren't that used it. One I talked to noted how the Thompson muzzle would rise if held lightly. He and his compatriots used that to advantage and adjusted their slings so that the weapon...

    Show us your vehicles

    Restoration and modification are 2 different things. Returning a car to its original-when-newer condition is restoration and upgrading, modifying and customizing is another thing. Often a modified car looks completely stock from without but has modifications under the skin. Mostly the...

    I wish.........

    At this point you're going around in circles answering your own questions. Spent $100 for a sit down with an attorney knowledgeable in the ricording industry and its copywright laws. Don't just talk yourself out of it.

    And You Wonder Why I'm a Cynic...

    It's simply flawed to compare law enforcement personnel into a situation of parking enforcement. In most large cities parking enforcement is done by people WITHOUT law enforcement training. Their weapon is a citation book not a gun. They are basically rent-a-cops. And as such they are at the...

    The resurgence of Vinyl & the end of CDs?

    I question why we have to decide one over the other. I spent several years in the CD/DVD replication industry and if for no other reaason I can tell you that replication machinery has dropped in price pretty dramatically over the years. There are many, many smaller CD replicators out there...
