Robert Palmer

UK '80s Pop. Dead now. But well known (in the '80s) for videos involving lots of skimpily clad women playing instruments, and songs like "Get it On", "Addicted To Love", "I Didn't Mean To Turn You On". I think my two favourites of his would be "Johnny & Mary" and "Mercy Mercy Me/I Want You".

Oooooh, ok. Thank you. I know the songs, I just didn't know who did them. :rolleyes:
 
Robert Palmer is dead sexy. Well he used to be. I suppose that makes me old. :D

compound bow, 55 pounds, which should be enough to bag Donner or Blitzen. I am wondering if it will take down Bullwinkle....

Ummm... 55#? Unless you're within 20-25 yards (not easy), I doubt you'd get enough penetration on a moose or elk, though it should be powerful enough for anything up to 125-140# animals (as long as they don't have really thick hides). Most of the people I knew who did any kind of larger animals (mule deer and up) used 80# pull and up and were very concerned about just wounding at ranges over 40 yards.

Hmmm... tangential thought: I wonder what kind of floggers reindeer hide would make....

*cups hands over mouth*

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!

Yo AS, Winston said you got a sissy bow!

You gonna take that shit?!




Tangential: I have an elk hide single tail, that doesn't seem to have the same snap it used to. Do I need to be treating the leather somehow?

Now he's just dead... Sorry, but he died in September of 2003. . I knew who he was, cause one of my brothers was a big fan. I remember him watching the video to "I didn't mean to turn you on" over and over and over. But I think he was watching the sexy models more than anything.

Weaponry question.. I don't have a gun of my own, but I've fired both a glock and a beretta. Next week I get to try a Browning HP. Any suggestions on which is a better weapon?

I want a Glock.

They're very durable and fairly resistant to jamming from what I hear.

I like the Glock cause it's fairly light weight and it fits my hands better than the beretta, but (and this is going to sound silly) it feels like a toy! I mean, it's lightweight and all that. I've not fired a Browning before, but I've handled a "regular" one, (not an HP model; and that's HP for High Power, not Harry Potter...;) ) and it was HEAVY. I don't (as yet) have the wrist strength for one of those, I think. If one really was looking to purchase a gun, should she get one she has to grow into, or one she can handle now?

I would get one you could handle now.

I know the toy-like feeling you're talking about, but a Glock will put down anything you're aiming at just as well as a heavier gun.

Probably my favorite weapon: the Mac 10. Put a suppressor on one of those babies and you could fire it against your teeth without hurting your mouth. Of course, it's designed to shoot from the hip.

Just like Marquis. :p

The most important factor in choosing a handgun is control. Two important factors in control: fit and comfort. If it fits your hand, you have better control. If you're comfortable with the weight and the recoil, you have better control. If you're concerned about wrist strength, the HP is almost definitely not the weapon of choice. Also, you can use "down-loaded" ammunition - slightly lighter slug, slightly less propellant - at the right combination, you can keep the muzzle velocity while increasing accuracy.
 
Thanks gentleDoms.. I'm thinking maybe the Glock, but I haven't even made a decision if I'm going to get one or not. The whole reason that I started shooting was because I had a pathological fear of guns. But I took leaf from a friend's book. She was absolutely terrified of water, but after falling in the ocean and nearly drowning, she took swimming lessons and actually ended up taking a red cross water safety course with CPR and first aid and all that. Now she still doesn't like swimming, but she's not afraid of it anymore. So anyhoo, I met someone down here who's a cop and a former MP and I asked her to teach me.

Plus, now if someone breaks into your home, you don't have to figure out what to do while the cops take 30 minutes to arrive with their Glocks.
 
True. And let me tell you, what I've seen of some of the local cops lately is not impressive. On the whole, it seems to be isolated to a few bad apples in a local precinct. Sadly, it's the precinct in which I live. I mean, when the bicycle cop gets his bicycle stolen almost out from under his ass, it's pretty damn pitiful. No wonder they didn't let him have a patrol car. (My friend is actually a county sheriff deputy. They seem a little more with it.)

Another thing she pointed out. The Browning is pretty heavy, and I don't think I can fire it one handed as I can the Glock. It seems silly to get a gun that you can't use if something horrible happens and you have to use one hand or your non dominant hand. Though I'm better aim-wise with my left hand, I'm pretty good with my right too.

Very good point. One thing I learned early was that if you have time and can, use the Weaver stance. If you don't/can't... you'd better be able to shoot with either hand almost as well as you can with two. Another early lesson: Never try to use a single shot - double-tap the center of body mass. And if you even think it's still moving, double-tap it again.
 
Good points. My dad told me once (in reference to a bow) to never ever aim at something I don't intend to shoot. I never intend on shooting someone; but if I pull it, it'll be because I mean it.

I think someone once told me, "Don't unholster it if you're not going to point it at someone; don't point it at them if you don't intend to shoot; don't shoot if you don't intend to kill." I later realized his main points were not to use it as a warning, and not to try to be a hero and "shoot the gun out of his hand" - that if you have to shoot someone, shoot to end the situation now.

These days, sadly, those occasions on which our honest citizens' weapons must be unholstered are all too frequent. It is interesting to note that street crimes (muggings and assaults particularly) are way down in states like Texas and others with more "liberal" carry laws. Seems like the old saying that "an armed society is a polite society" may have some truth in it.
 
I have a S/W 38. It is just my preference, but then when I got it I could not afford a Glock.
 
I have a Bersa .380 for concealed carry, but use a pump shotgun for home defense. When loaded with birdshot, there is less of a chance of missing, plus the pellets will be stopped by 2 layers of dry wall, (front and back) thus protecting anyone beyond said wall. Plus there is no more fear inducing and distinctive sound that that of a 12 guage pump having a shell racked into the chamber.
 
I've fired a shotgun already; I didn't like the kick. And then I tried it again, and it was worse cause I knew it was going to do that, and I was too tense and hurt my shoulder. Hugemongous bruise.

Try a 16-gauge with #6 shot. Less kick at your end, just as much at their end.

But if you have the butt properly seated at your shoulder when you pull the trigger, even a 12-gauge magnum won't leave much of a bruise. And you don't want to fire 12mags in the house, anyway. ;)
 
It's rather socially unnacceptable to fire 12 mags in the house, then? Rats... I had a problem holding it comfortably. Current speculation is that the stock was too long for me.
 
Dropping in to blurt - Master's feeling better :D After 5 days of hell, pain and not being able to eat enough to keep a bird alive, fingers crossed He is on the mend.

I was so tired this morning, He got up and left me to sleep some more. I had 2 hours until it was time for another drain and fill, and I crashed. Could still crash out again this afternoon too.......we're doing the drain and fill thing every 6 hours which means waking every 4-5...... :rolleyes:
