Don't think he blew it up before putting it over the muzzle. And yes this guy was scary badass. From what I gleaned from him, they would go and set markers at enemy fuel/supply sites. They had to stick around and help rescue a pilot if he was shot down. So when shit started exploding the Vietnamese knew they were still in the area and started looking for them. I gathered they used .22's because they were easy to silence and you could put a shot through someone eye at 75 yards without being heard. Maybe someone on here served there and could verify.

A green beret I knew, who did some scary stuff in Vietnam, told me all you had to do was put a few drops of oil down the barrel and tape a balloon over the muzzle to silence one pretty well.

Agree. But I'd bet they hurt themselves more when they fell and hit the concrete, than from those loopy, off balance punches.

I'm with you Dale. I like the feel and flexibility of cash.

I told my daughter it's going to save us a lot of money because we can just throw our cell phones away and talk/text through the network without them.

Old enough to remember my dad parking in someone's yard at Fair Park and watching Meredith and Bart Starr play a preseason game in the Cotton bowl. I still have the pennants for both. I've got a lot of old Cowboy memorabilia (including individual pictures of everyone on the '71 team. A nickel a piece by mail). If they ever start winning again it might be worth something. The success of the Landry and the Johnson years set me up for decades of disappointment after JJ's ego took over.

And you can't buy guns at the truck stop with a credit card.

Got it. My other thought that she was just here for help.

LOL at this thread on SECRANT; https://www.secrant.com/rant/sec-football/does-bama-stomp-uga-again-last-night-with-metchie-and-jameson-/100723822/ Lots of shout outs to Colt McCoy.

Thoughts and prayers for the Shipley's. I've seen Colt's mom around town but didn't realize the Shipley's lived around here.

LOL. There was an aggy caller on Mark Packers show who said those exact words. "I'm pulling for Bama' so we can at least claim we beat the national champion". Then he went on some kind of convoluted scenario about the the first series that had the host speechless because of its' delirium.

While doing some genealogy, I discovered that my great grandfather fought in a Texas Confederate unit and did participate in a few battles. I do not understand why, other than some sense of obligation to the south. He was a dirt poor tenant farmer who didn't even own his own land much less another human being. And if you really want to read something batshit crazy...... this discovery caused me to look at The Sons of Confederate Veterans website. My wife qualifies as a DAR and I thought "why not?" heritage and all. That is until I started reading their beliefs. They still reference "The Catechism of the Confederacy" as their reference point of all things Civil War. It's some of the biggest revisionist diatribe I have ever read. Look it up if your not familiar with it. I don't know how it could be accepted when it was written in the 20's much less today. And back to the point of the OP; we sell some items to public schools. A few years ago a custodian came in on MLK day wanting to pick some stuff up. I asked him why he was working on a holiday. He told me he was taking off on Robert E Lee's birthday instead though he wouldn't really say why. Not like we couldn't read between the lines.

When I had rotator cuff surgery I tool Tylenol 4 and Tramadol, eventually relying on Tramadol when the Tylenol ran out. I can't handle opioids. They screw with my sleep pattern and I'll wake up seeing imaginary stuff dancing around the room. I understand Tramadol works more like a anti-depressant. It worked for me but I learned never quit cold turkey. I did and it was hell. Look up Tramadol Brain Zaps. I'm guessing it's my bodies way of telling me I need to return to the painkillers of my youth. Pot and whiskey

Sorry SAD. I played Jr High and HS and got interest (though no offers) from SWC schools. I played hurt all the time. But i never jumped for joy like that with an ankle injury.

I'm sure the dancing and jogging he did as he left the stadium were simple doctor prescribed stretching exercises.

I haven't been to a Cowboys game in a few years. Do they still wear coats and ties to NFL games?

Buy a couple of these at Walmart. Oil filled electric heater. They're cheap, usually about $50, and will heat a good sized room. They don't use much electricity and they don't pose any type of fire hazard.

Yeah, I love them and 20-30 mins is max for me.

LOL. I told some of the guys in our group we could start a reverse mariachi type band. We could hire out to restaurants and play around tables who wouldn't leave after their meal was over.

And that you have an incurable disease and are going to die.

So I'm safe as long as I stick to official parades, funerals and my backyard?

Usually Going Home, sometimes Abide with Me. Unless the deceased was really Scottish and they want Scottish Funeral songs. Usually Flowers of the Forrest, Highland Cathedral and something else they like.

^^^^This^^^^ And I'd hang a big old American flag out front and let them write you up for that too. Then go on national news about being a vet and them not wanting you to fly your flag. See how long they can take the heat.

LOL. A little of both. My neighbors don't care, I asked them before I started. And actually its not a bad hobby. I make $200-300 cash per funeral for playing 2 songs.
