<lmao> Jenny? Is that you? <laughs> Jon

Yup. While minors we played with all sorts of black powder filled CO2 containers. Our route was to enlarge the hole already there and use canon fuse. We did a biggish one for O2 too, about 15" long, came out of an airliner and still had the emergnecy mask attached when we got ahold of it. Dropped it down an old mineshaft, which was down about 10', with the entrance into the mountain sealed with rubble. Also dropped a paper sack. 36" of fuse lit, and we all run around behind a rock about 15' away. The wait took an eternity...but none of use were willing to go look (probably learned a bit by then). BOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!! with a shower of rocks spewing out like a giant shotgun and a visible soundwave moving away, with the oddest sound. Look back in the hole, paper bag was covered almost all the way, the shaft entrance was now visible, and a new vein of turquoise was visible. Cool stuff! A few years later a couple of dudes killed themselves at a New Years party in the Rillito, trying to light off a gasoline bomb they created. Jon

No, that is a very common misconception. Ahnold is anti-YOU-gun. Jon

From this new link: "If it's to protect our kids, I'm all for it," neighbor Glenn DeWitt said. Dumbass. http://abclocal.go.com/ktrk/story?section=news/local&id=8971311 I can't help but notice that the areas where these drills are happening. Makes me think that, despite the hype about gun owners, the government is making preparations to deal with a Greece-like welfare-/government-dole class backlash. When the economy tanks that is. Jon

So I hit the "Contact Us" on S&W's website and sent this: Good Morning, I am please to give Smith & Wesson a heart-felt Thank-you, for your withdrawal from the 2013 Eastern Sports & Trades Show! Your support for the Second Amendment community during these trying times is especially refreshing! Also at this time, I would like to make a suggestion: that Smith & Wesson cooperate immediately with the other vendors boycotting this event, and sponsor an alternative event in a different venue within Harrisburg, PA. As their community is set to lose approximately $80 Million from the cancellation of the original event, a Pro-Firearms trade show hosted and helping them recoup a probably loss, this would be a sorely needed Public Relations victory for the American Second Amendment supporters! I do understand the logistics for such an immediate undertaking are monumental but Smith & Wesson has shown themselves to be a leader in tough times. There should be plenty of areas available now too! Thank-you for your time! Respectfully, Jon

Jon

<thumbsup> Now is opportunity! Teach them well, figure out who the dipwads are and weed them out into support positions, and hone the skills of those that have them! Jon

Or educational film...either way, a break from class! Jon

I was walking up to the park one evening, bumped into a couple of buddies on the way back who had found a book of matches at the park. The old guy on the corner right there had dozens of cans, jars, bottles, and jugs outside his back wall. We started immediately looking for one that smelled like gasoline. We found that in the form of a 1 gallon milk jug (it was the '70s). So we are all huddled around this milk jug in the alley, taking turns dropping lit matches in it. Drop the match and the flame would go out before it hit the bottom. Bill, the oldest in the group, grabbed the matches and said "Move! Let me see this." He picks up the jug, rolls it around a bit and sets it back down. Grabbing the matches, he strikes one and peers into the spout, drops the lit match, then peers into the spout again... Just as a miniature afterburner flame shoots out about 6" for about 3 seconds, making a "BbvvvvvvvPP" sound. For the whole 3 seconds Bill kept his face over the spout, trying to see while at the same time trying to keep his eyes from getting burned. Flame stops, Bill looks up wide-eyed, no eyebrows or eyelashes. Me and Eddy bust out laughing, Bill starts crying. Bill's Dad was the loudest, meanest, yellingest parent in the neighborhood and now Bill had to go face him at dinner time. He quickly devised a plan, he would sneak into his sister's room and use eyebrow pencil, concealing our dumbassery until his face hairs grew back. He said he sat at the dinner table, everyone stone quiet and staring at him, and "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR EYEBROWS!!?!!" exploded from his Dad. After he fessed up, he got a yelling lecture on how the "goddammed Germans" used to make glass bottle bombs and we were lucky we weren't all dead for being so stupid. No kidding. Jon

Insulting our brother because you're a dickhead doesn't cut it either. While you obviously don't understand the community here, you certainly don't understand the mark you've just placed upon yourself within the shooting community and the coming poop storm in our nation. Jon

About the Tucson Police Chief and his enjoyment at Obama's party: http://azstarnet.com/news/local/crime/ef136cd0-e652-5ff6-a646-3cedfeb1a0e5.html From the article, "A desire of law enforcement executives to develop a mechanism to record any time a gun is transferred, lost or stolen." Jon

Anyone else surprised they are alive? I mean really. We blew poop up, played with gasoline, with gun powder, we even had metal tennis ball canons! I don't know where Dad was (or Mom for that matter) but my brother thought it would be kick ass to run a zip line, ala G.I.Joe, from the top of the pine tree in the front yard, over the side yard, and into a pile of pillows nailed against the garage out back. One thing about kids...if we didn't have money for parts of a project (like rope), we improvised. In this case my brother reasoned that Dad's 100' extension cord would work great as a zip line. He wasn't stupid! He made sure it was tight like a guitar string, several feet making a knot at both the garage end and the pine tree end. Almost all set. Boy Scout belt through pulley...check. Boy Scout belt through leather belt on waist...check. Pulley on extension cord-zip line...check. 20' off the ground and LAUNCH! pushing out forcefully from the pine tree, acceleration was rapid, hair blowing in the wind and then...suddenly...shooting straight up, as gravity took over 15' out horizontally from the tree when the extension cord SNAPPED! Fortunately for him, the 6' tall pyracantha hedge broke his fall. Also fortunately for him, there was already a dozen places on the extension cord with electrical tape patches. Dad never even noticed. Jon

Air dry. So many options! Thought I would keep it simple. Jon

Someone elsewhere on the internet, commenting on alleged requirements that Obamacare MANDATES everyone be implanted with a RFID chip, I said "A lady friend of mine said 'Anyone that tries to put one of those in me is gonna eat a fuckin' bullet!'" Another responded "It is their plan. They are going to do it." Yeah...maybe. I said "Like the military says, the surest way to ensure a plan will fail is to put it into action." Jon

The South Cali water mafia will prevent that. :o Jon

Have you ever heated the parts prior to shooting the paint? Anyone got a recommendation on using extra hardener? Jon

Since they don't feel the need to follow the constitution, does that mean we may draw-and-quarter them? Jon

<thumbsup> Prayers for the Dad! Jon

The big liberal pockets...San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco areas...get their way. If he doesn't yet, he will. Jon

The Dura Coat is here also. Can a person use brake cleaner to degrease the parts, prior to spraying? Jon

Still some reasonably priced...if you get 10,000. http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=large+pistol+primers http://www.gunbroker.com/All/BI.aspx?Keywords=large+rifle+primers Funny thing is, 10K isn't all that many. Jon

Four words: Three oh three British. Or: Lee Enfield Short Magazine. <laughs> You missed out on the glory days of those being surplus! Jon
