    Guns and shooting advice?

    Although I can't see the image (it's blocked at my worksite) I would guess it's a 686; one of the most popular contemperary .357 models. That's my first and favorite gun of all time. Pity it was too much for you. Then again, it does have some kick. ;)

    I couldn't agree more! :eusa_clap

    Guns and shooting advice?

    This is most definitely one of my biggest shortfalls (is that an oxymoron - biggest shortfalls?). Anyway, when I was qualifying for my ccw, we had to shoot a certain percentage at varying distances. I tended to shoot low and to the left, and it was quite frustrating because it was so...

    Bettie Page Passed Away 12-11-08

    Not much ever took place on my birthday, but I guess this is something. RIP.

    A redistribution of your vintage resources.

    I have collected nearly every single (from 2004 and previous) comic book appearance of The Punisher, including busts, posters, games, movies, and other titles, etc. I don't think my collection is "valuable" to most people, but for insurance purposes, it's valued around $9000. Who will I leave...

    Do you eat vintage?

    I make plain old white bread but I have dabbled with whole wheat; it turned out pretty heavy duty. I plan to try a potato bread and light wheat bread soon. Any suggestions? :) Additionally, for lunch I've been bringing a fine chunk of bread, braided spiced cheese, carrots and water. That's...

    Do you eat vintage?

    Does baking your own bread count? I do that. Otherwise, I buy what I can afford and I don't necessarily check the brand.

    Lasting Quality?

    I must agree with this assessment, much to my dismay. I also believe megastores like Wal-Mart, Costco and Sam's Club helped this disintegration along. Sears used to be a Wal-Mart of sorts, offering a huge range of services and products. Sears even built houses back in the day and pretty much had...

    Generation Y?

    I prefer to call myself an echo-boomer, or the Silicone Generation. But yeah, we're Generation Y... lol That was pretty funny though. I hate that style as well.

    Show Us Your Tattoos

    I know I'm a little late, and probably part of the peanut-gallery too, but shouldn't this thread be over in The Display Case? [huh]

    Lasting Quality?

    As a former employee of Sears Holdings, LLC., and with connections still rooted deeply inside, I can say with certainty that Sears is no longer carrying as many tools as they used to and will be cutting back future models in an effort to reduce lifetime warranty repair. That's not to say current...

    The "Organic" Trend - do you believe the hype?

    And speaking of water, I invested in a cheap water bottle, like a sports one with flip down straw, and I bring water from my tap every day to lunch. Doesn't taste as "clean" as bottled but it's about 100% cheaper.

    The "Organic" Trend - do you believe the hype?

    Personally, I've never had much of a taste for organic over conventional. In Des Moines, as with anything else "in fashion" in the country, the "organic" foods aren't always necessarily organic and are always, necessarily, more expensive. When it comes to organic, I'm still not sold because I...

    Something I noticed in people's pictures

    I don't smile. Ever. Simply not possible. My whole face would break. Absolutely too serious. I also speak in short, choppy sentences. As well. :p But seriously, I can't smile on command. I'm often seen smiling, but apparently not in front of cameras. If I look grim, it's probably because...

    Ideas Thread for where the Large FL Yearly GTG should be.

    If the group decides to come near the midwest (for whatever insane reason you might have), I'd be happy to attend. Traveling, unfortunately, is not something I can accomodate often; even once a year in most cases. Might I suggest Des Moines, Iowa, well-known hot spot for fashion, food and...

    FL gets mention on BBC Radio 4

    Wow, how unfortunate. Yet another Professor who doesn't research. I've run into my share of those. Well, cheers on the notice ladies and gents! :eusa_clap

    Suit Question Related to Previous Thread

    Wow, thanks for both of those! I do have my measurements already, but I always appreciate supplemental information! ;)

    Manners - The NY Times gets it

    Feraud, it's not that I disagree with you, because I don't, I just believe it's a little more complicated. It seems to me that a young (white) man from a middle income family, who was smart enough and driven enough to go to school, attain a college degree (which I believe was harder to...
