    Ask your local liquor store(s) to get it from the distributers for you. In some cases they take a little nudging to bring out "less (locally) popular" brands.

    Public Enemies

    Just because you may not believe that various races/ethnicities should associate, or choose personally to avoid such associations in your private life, doesn't mean you can't still be courteous to people who you are prejudiced against. That's sort of the original intent of courtesy, that you...

    I enjoy looking at the ads from 25, 50 and 100 years ago they have in the American Rifleman magazine. The $200 Thompson and such.

    Blood Meridian was good. But I've liked everything of his I've read.

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    The shirt suspenders we're talking about are designed to keep the shirt pulled down to prevent blousing over the waistband on a military uniform, the socks provide the anchor point, keeping them up is a side benefit. I've seen shirt suspenders with loops that go under the heel of the foot...

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    Yeah, you still get the "back of the knee" issue when you sit, takes care of walking pretty well though. And the discomfort is apparently why we were issued "bearing". :D

    Men's Underwear Basics: Underwear, Undershirts

    You can eliminate much of the garter line by running it around your leg, back of shirt to front and vice versa rather than straight down. It will pull more hair but won't distend your pant leg.

    Look at Fletch with his girly written enunciation. :D

    Then just step out onto the porch. Mission accomplished. ;)

    Just finished "The Reluctant Fundamentalist". Short novel, good thinker.

    Haven't gone to see the film yet but in the preview he works the bolt beautifully in that scene. Smooth, fluid bolt throw and his head doesn't move. Definitely have to agree that Mann aims for accuracy in his gunhandling, just watched Collateral again last night in fact.

    Tried the cucumber garnish in my G&T (New Amsterdam) on Sunday. Fantastically subtle taste. I had dropped a couple slices in there and by the time I got to the bottom of the glass and fished them out they were infused and potent little snacks.

    A genuine Texas law man explains the differences between a "BBQ gun" and a "Court gun". http://thelawdogfiles.blogspot.com/2006/03/court-guns-and-bbq-guns.html

    Chrome (well, nickel) goes way back too. I think the best solution is to just skip past the photos you don't like, ignore them rather than comment on them. I think that makes more sense than having to certify any given design as to date of initial patent or manufacture.

    I dunno, is the body style and engine of that cab essentially identical now as it was when first produced in 1950? The Colt Commando was designed with a telescoping buttstock, shorter barrel and round handguards in the mid-60's, still within the vintage era. Today's M4 is essentially a copy...

    The New A. surprised me, I hate paying more for a name brand just "because". Always a pleasure to find a better deal. I HAVE to try the cucumber, I see it as a garnish on a lot of different cocktails. Typically I use limes, lately I've been buying little Key Limes about the size of a ping...

    Remember that "barn find" car thread I posted?

    I think Matthew 13:44 applies to that sort of find. :D

    I've been drinking the New Amsterdam in my G&T's lately. I can get a handle for the price of a fifth of Tanq. and it holds up in the flavor dept.

    Military experiences.

    I like(d) the woodland MARPats, did well up here (Southcentral Alaska) for summer. In our ad hoc side-by-side comparisons they beat BDUs hands down.

    Just started on "The Reluctant fundamentalist". I had it on my "pick up when you get a chance" list based on the NYT review but pulled the trigger on it after a recommendation by a friend.
