  1. Alright yous guys, they called heros. Goes fine with soda.

     

    Mischief night is when ya go out TP'ing (not 'papering'). Make sure ya bring ya sneakers.

     

    Wattuh comes out the faucet.

     

    I rummage through for stuff after packing my vacation bags.

     

    That's a wicked big barrel of earl (oil). :D

     

     

     

     

    3% Dixie. Need help digging out of the snow?

  2. That's fine. I'll just go for the head.

     

    No, it's not fine. We shouldn't have to go for the head. It is our God-given right to shoot for the chest.

     

    Seriously, this is too wide-open for interpretation by some ignorant or ill-minded schmuck. I think this ranks as one of the Top Five Worst Gun Laws of May 2007. Maybe even of all 2007. :unsure:

     

    On the other hand, it is much easier to hide/bury illegal ammunition than an illegal rifle/shotgun.

  3. I took NO metal off. Only the exterior paint, a miniscule layer. Also, the areas that I worked on have no significant impact on the function of the rifle. I touched no part of the carrier that comes in contact with the reciever, nowhere near the underside of the carrier, and no part of the gas piston. Everything that was polished pretty much stands alone.

     

    Rust may be an issue here with the salty, humid air of Florida. How would a thin coat of petroleum jelly or mineral oil work? Maybe a clearcoat?

  4. At the Palmetto, FL, Suncoast gunshow there was one 107 and one 109. They were $469 and $499, respectively. No others. :(

     

    I had the intent of selling my Mossberg 590 towards a S-12, but after talking to several individuals, I decided to keep what I have. I actually bought a Surefire light, mount and pressure switch for it.

     

    Didn't look at the S-20s.

  5. That brings up a point I was considering: Pistol grips on rifles went hand-in-hand with folding stocks. Folding stocks came from the necessity for compactness, and pistol grips came from the need of having a reasonable way to hold and fire the compacted weapon. This compactness stemmed from the increasing popularity of deploying airborne troops. Any objections or exceptions?

  6. Modern usage

     

    More recently, "begs the question" has been used as a synonym for "invites the question" or "raises the question," or to indicate that "the question ought to be addressed." In this usage, "the question" is stated in the next phrase. For example: "This year's budget deficit is half a trillion dollars. This begs the question: how are we ever going to balance the budget?" Argument over whether this usage should be considered incorrect is an example of the debate between linguistic prescription and description.
