Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

[AceDesSpades]

I had to explain why "landslide" and the electoral college count are not related...

There used to be a board game about elections that taught me a lot about the mechanics, just not the tactics.

Those you can get by studying The Seven Stages of a WWE Match.

So, I was shopping for a shoulder holster yesterday and failed to make a decision.


Actually, I did. I don't want to spend $300-and-change for a good one, and I don't want a half-assed one.

Good leather is expensive, surprising considered the amount of Mooooo... in our lives.

 

[AceDesSpades]

Maybe artsy people no longer work in leather because of the cruelty.

Vinyl is cruelty free, unless it comes from the divinyls...

When they think about it, they hurt themselves . . . .


The New Yorker has lost its mind in this article. I think the Trump people unlocked and unloaded yesterday.


Of course, likely they wrote the article based on polls . . . .


According to an analysis of FEMA data, some twenty million Americans are actively preparing for cataclysm—roughly twice as many as in 2017. Political violence, including the spectre of civil war, is one of the reasons. A recent study conducted by researchers at U.C. Davis concluded that one in three adults in the U.S., including up to half of Republicans, feel that violence is “usually or always justified” to advance certain political objectives (say, returning Trump to the White House). In May, Ray Dalio, the billionaire founder of Bridgewater Associates, one of the world’s largest hedge funds, told the Financial Times that he believed there was about a thirty-five-per-cent chance of civil war breaking out in America. “We are now on the brink,” Dalio said, noting that a modern civil war—though it might not involve muskets—would see the fracturing of states and widespread defiance of federal law. In June, Dalio upped his estimate to “uncomfortably more than 50 percent,” predicting “an existential battle of the hard right against the hard left in which you will have to pick a side and fight for it, or keep your head down, or flee.”

Wat didn't, of course, but that's another conversation entirely.

I've got two really nice leather holsters. Bought'em way back when.

I was looking for something for the P229.


There are so many more choices for the 1911.


I reckon I should just spring for that 10mm SA and be done wiffit.

Published the day before the election huh? *chuckle*

 

[Rebel5soul]

Mine are 1911 sized.

They made an assumption, and now they look like asses.


U n Me, on the other hand, didn't get any one us.

There's a place out on the prairie where arises a feature known as Peanut Hill...

I think that it would be a fitting resting place for Peanut.

My squirrel is pulling a dirt nap in KANSAS...

 

[AceDesSpades]

I look over to the right of my screen and all the threads have an A rating...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I didn't notice any squirrels yesterday. I know they were out there.


Like some kind of Lunatic Fringe . . . .

[AceDesSpades]

I saw a rabbit running pell mell across the yard, a disappearing cotton ball...

Ma smoked the ol' Pall Malls.

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I smoked Camels.



Cow go MOOO000ooo!!!

 

[AceDesSpades]

That's what the guy who trained me smoked and he drank his coffee black and talked relentlessly about Korea.

He was warning me and I should have paid attention. Your elders know "shit."

(Like, in, The Postman)

 

[Wat_Tyler]

My grandfather taught me more about Stuff than almost any other human ever. I consider myself fortunate that I was present and able to hear at least part of it, and I look forward to Passing It On.


He also taught me how to shoot.

Every young lad should have a proper mentor. Lazarus Long had his gramps too...

 

[Wat_Tyler]

I think that Allah provides mentors to the students who are ready, and more importantly, when they are ready. That can be a lifetime series if one is willing to learn.


Learning requires suspension of the idea that we already know . . . .

My squirrel is pulling a dirt nap in KANSAS...

One of my squirrels joined the Klan.

 

[AceDesSpades]

I did learn one totally useless skill: cribbage.

One of my squirrels joined the Klan.

His eyes aren't blue enough.



Come to think of it, neither are mine.

Here's hoping the Emhoffs have put away enough graft loot to retire comfortably, especially since it looks like they won't be building down the street from Barry-n-Mike.

With all the time on his hand he'll be too busy looking for another nanny to bang or another girlfriend to smack around. Gots to keep up his image as America's married man.

I purchased one for my 40.cal and found it to be a big mistake for me. Very uncomfortable. Ended up buying a standard waist holster. Maybe it's me. I should of listened to my gun dealer who told me I probably won't like the feel if you carry for long periods of time.
