    Airsoft thread

    I'm shopping for an airsoft gun for my 10yo son. We also started with the single shot spring loaded guns. We bought a kit with a pistol and an AR. The pistol has already broken. There are a lot of guns available online. I think we are looking for an electric (AEG) SMG style gun for him and an AEG pistol for me. I think I want full metal body for the pistol, but that might be too heavy for the SMG. Budget is up to $200 for the SMG and maybe $100 for the pistol. Is there anywhere you can handle these guns like a gun store? Amazon has a no return policy. Academy has a 60 day return policy if it is in re-sale-able condition.

  4. Great movie. I was really intrigued with his struggle to remember the songs and rewrite the music and lyrics from memory.
  5. Improved and increased testing are identifying cases more rapidly than a week ago.
  6. The Beatles catalog is so big it's hard to find an album that doesn't go super poppy or psychedelic for a few tracks. I'm trying to find a great record or playlist that I can listen all the way through without skipping. Songs like: Blackbird, Yesterday, Here Comes the Sun, Let it Be, etc. Wife isn't a huge fan of the Beatles, so trying to introduce some the best acoustic stuff. Heck, great covers would be acceptable too. Thanks. (for example I was just listening to Fool on the Hill - tuba and kazoo/recorder is too much).
  7. I did that once, but didn't break the plane.
  8. Similarly, I consider the term ginger a racial slur in the same way the n-word is. It is hostile, derogatory, and specifically addressing someone's heritage and physical appearance.
  9. Saturated ground after heavy rain loosening the root balls of the trees so that the wind can blow them down, balls and all. Timber!

    Countryisms

    So I'm in need of a good countryism. My son's are 10 and 6 and I coach and scout them, so I'm around a lot of kids. I've got most of them saying yes sir and yes coach, but my pet peeve is when I address them, and they instinctively look up and say "what?" without thinking. I've been telling them "listen here, I'll never ask you a question that the answer is: what." Sometimes I'll follow up with "unless I ask you to name a unit of power". (Watt). Help me make these knuckleheads feel stupid.
