Another weird American pastime

Bloody gun freaks.

Lou

P.S. I have never actually seen a real gun (well, not one that wasn't in a museum, anyway) let alone held one or fired one.

LOL,

Famous marine Corps Scene:

30 guys with their boxers around their knees one hand on their rifle's the other on their penis.

"This is my rifle, this is my gun, this is for fighting, this is for fun"

And Lou has never held a gun? I somehow doubt that

LOL!

Now you mention it, one of my best friends is a very large gun, and I've held it plenty of times. It even blows my brains out when I put it in my mouth.

I know where to find a suit of armour that fits me. It was made for the real Henry VIII and is on display in the Tower of London.

It could have been made for me except the armoured codpiece seems excessive. I think Henry was pretending that he had a bigger one.

Fish Shooting:

In my brother's village before WWII one of the locals found a punt-gun hung up in the barn. He had to try it. It took forever.

He made a punt to fit the gun. He had to take the punt to a suitable lake having got the owner's permission to fire the gun on the lake. The owner and wife came to watch. The gun was lashed to the punt.

The local had SOME sense. He thought that the gun might backfire or explode so he moored the punt and tied fishing line to the trigger. He, the lake owner and wife, stood on the bank when the trigger was pulled.

They were covered in smoke from the blackpowder. The fools had been standing downwind. The gun's muzzle produced a twelve foot flame and peppered the bank and trees on the opposite bank. Several dozen fish floated to the surface, stunned or dead.

The gun had a four inch bore. The barrel was eight feet long and it was a flintlock. He had loaded it with one pound of black powder and a half pound canvas bag of birdshot.

The punt's stern was wrecked by the recoil as it hit the bank. It sank, taking the gun with it. It is supposed to be still there.

The three of them had fish for supper.

This is why you can't get any writing done, exchanging gun stories with Anni Oakley and Cloudy Warrior Princess.

We don't get moccasins in the water over here, just the occasional welly boot.

Lou

Okay, you've gone outside my American/British language knowledge. Welly boot????

And I'll bet you've never seen one that wasn't loaded.
