Sounds like a productive evening indeed!

from a WWI-era M1 Garand...(Nerd mode on) Uh...it's a WW2 gun.(Nerd mode off.)

If worms had wings, would we fish for birds?

You're totally right, and my typo (and it was a typo, me carelessly not hitting that extra "I") would have shamed my grandfather halfway to seppuku. My grandpa, who collected guns, somehow was able to learn from the serial number exactly when this particular rifle was made at the Springfield Armory, and he valued it even above more pricey weapons. He used to show me the dents on the stock and said that indicated it likely saw combat in WWII, because in battle soldiers would strike the cartridges there before loading. When he died the IRS, spurred on by a vengeful relative, seized a lot of his property including almost all of his gun collection, but I made sure I kept this because it had meant so much to him.

Thanks for catching my mistake!

My daughter asked me a darn good question today: "Are there any moons in the solar system that have moons?" I admit that stumped me.

Actually if anyone's curious, I found two interesting articles that answer that question.

http://www.popsci.com/scitech/article/2008-04/could-moon-have-moons
http://www.universetoday.com/109666/can-moons-have-moons/

Short answer (if you're lazy or don't want to read) is "not likely" and even if they did, the gravity of the planet the moon (and it's moon) is orbiting would eventually pull baby moon away from it's moon to make it part of the regular moon pack.  (Er... if that makes sense.)

Oh, mosquito bite,
Torment of your itch is worse

Rub deodorant over the area and it'll go away within say 10 minutes.

ER- No prob, kiddo. If I had the money, I'd love to have an M-1, and the M-1 Carbine. Both good handling rifles. I like the 'ghost ring' rear sight, as it's a n lot easier for these old eyes to focus with.

Nothing is worse than Zombie Jar-Jar...except normal Jar-Jar.

Off to Montreal for the Fantasia Film Festival tomorrow, I still expect to check in here daily, though. Have fun, suckers! If I see Lloyd Kaufman I'll tell him y'all said "hi."

Ever notice in The Seven Year Itch, when Marilyn's dress blew up, she was wearing granny panties?

I believe we are in a race war.

And Lord, I hope you're wrong...I hope...

Dunno.. but, if you don't care that Jimmy's cracking your corn, why are you singing about it?

When ordering the local Quebec delicacy, be sure to call it "poutine" ("fries in gravy") and not "poutain" ("whore") like I did the other day.

I assume the same goes in reverse.
