  1. I think it was developed at the request of NATO to look for a replacement for the 9MM. It was more accurate at greater distances than the 9 but Germany objected and further development was stopped. But it was popular enough to hang around until Ruger developed a handgun for it. From what I've read it's pretty accurate out of a handgun up to 100 yards. If NATO would have adopted it, they would be making ammo by the billions and the per round price would come down considerably.
  2. The best "fill in the musical instrument player" discussion/argument kills me. I'm in agreement with you. 95% of the people arguing have no clue of proficiency/ability on any given instrument, just a biased opinion on what they like. People who claim Hendricks/Clapton/Slash et all, guitarist are the best ever, just spout what they've read somewhere else. Ever see Terry Cathy or Jan Akkerman play? I saw Carlos Montoya play flamenco guitar and he was amazing. He could do stuff most guitarist could never imagine doing. I guess people like to argue or try to prove their own importance/knowledge/superiority on subjects. I don't really care. I just enjoy the music.
  3. How about "don't let the bullet hit you where the good lord split you"?
  4. But what does El commandant say about Elko? ( I tried to add Jimbo's face, but I'm old and have no skills)

    Getting old sucks

    Rotator cuff surgery was 6 weeks ago, tomorrow. My surgeon showed me pictures of my tendons. They looked like someone had taken ropes and dragged them over concrete edges for a week, looking like a net full of holes instead of looking like ropes. Recovery has been the 100% polar opposite of last time. Nerve block worked perfectly. I took pain meds for 12 hours, woke up the morning after surgery without pain and have not taken any since then. Tylenol twice a day has worked perfectly fine. I have had almost no pain above a 3 or 4 since surgery, even during therapy. My therapist said I'm 2 weeks ahead of schedule so we're advancing the therapy tomorrow. If I would have known it was going to go this well, I would have had it done a year ago. It might have helped that I exercised regularly and took care of myself. I know of two other guys who are still on pain meds 8 weeks after surgery. But for whatever reason it has been easy this time around.
  6. A shit ton of denial over there.
  7. Don't look at the videos of the guys driving it an night. I'm not sure I could even walk it.
  8. If you have to make a commercial that says "we're not weird", you are and are just trying to convince yourself otherwise.
  9. I really don't have much holiday drama. My 70 y/o BIL will get his feelings hurt about some slight he feels we said, but he just gets on his phone and pouts like a 6 year old. It shuts him up so everything is fine. But I have a question from the families that have narcissist members. I have a friend whose father just passed away. I know deaths can cause drama, but his oldest sister has gone above and beyond anything I have ever heard. No need to go into details but she showed him up, slapped him down and did everything she could to make herself the center of attention at every occasion. She verbally attacked him, his wife, nieces and nephews and then claimed victimhood when they pushed back. I'm trying to help him through it all because he has trouble standing up to his sister after 60+ years of abuse. I told him to tell her to get screwed but I don't think he can do it. There's a 7 or 8 figure inheritance and trust involved, so he just can't walk away. My question is; why the hell do narcistic people cause such obvious chaos? I know the center of attention angle, but she has gone out of her way to be mean, cruel and very stupid in dealing with situations and family. I'm an only child so none of this makes sense to me. She is going to screw it all up if he doesn't get it fixed and she's not smart enough to handle it herself. Any suggestion would be great. He's a good friend and I hate to see him die because of the stress.
  10. If they hang there more than 10-15 mins they might die anyway. Circulation is obstructed, all the blood will pool in your legs and your heart can't pump hard enough to circulate it.

  12. I mean the restaurant guys daughter.
  13. Lol. One of his daughters was on my daughters soccer team 20 something years ago. She would be mid 30’s now. He was a real nice guy.
  14. The candidate has been chosen....
  15. The milkman motions are a nice touch.
  16. There is only one way to pick their next coach. Have them pet Reveille. She'll let them know in her own special way.
  17. It's the same as buying that sweet '24 Acadia. 20% down and $499 a month for 8 years. Who in their right mind would turn that down?
  18. Looked more like a fart than a flinch
  19. Just take a play out of the official woman's handbook and remind her about the time she was horribly wrong, every time she accuses you of something.
  20. I think all we really wanted of Malik was to help win the games he started and keep the Horn's in contention. He did that no matter how ugly it was. Now keep Quinn healthy, we don't need to push our luck.
  21. Seems like he knows his subject matter. If the coaching carousel would start early, A&M was an obvious choice to kick things off: a wealthy brand underperforming for its deep-pocketed and frequently delusional corps of boosters. Entering this weekend, Fisher’s 26-21 record in SEC games had message boarders (and me) assuming that if oil approaches $100 a barrel anytime soon (it’s sitting at $76.42 as of this writing), cash-flush and historically squirrelly Aggies boosters would pull the trigger on Fisher’s current buyout of roughly $77 million.
  22. They brought the cart out immediately. That can't be good.
  23. He came up a little short at the end.
