Crossposter Crap

i also believe that anything as miserable as that thing is surely it's own reward. can you bet it's divorced, surronded by macdumbells wrappers and needs a bath?

don't know if it's true, but i heard the story of a guy selling shortwave crap on ebay, only he took the money and never shipped the goods. supposedly an irate customer showed up at his door and shot him dead. anyone heard this one?

IIRC, everyone survived that one - there was a dunghill under the window...

Cheers,

P.S., donkeys' years ago Games Workshop did a nice 28mm scale model purporting to be Jan Ziska, I regret now not grabbing one.

Classy, but pricey, and far too good for the uffies. A half brick in a long sock applied with all the vigour generated by the antipathy their antics create would surely be more satisfying?

Long gone and good ridance.

lock them all in one room for a week. can't get much crueler than that. you wouldn't need to put in food, some would survive easily.

Oh yes, especially during holidays ! :o)

Ditto, but a little older.

Inherited my Sharps buffalo gun. Took it to be restored and it needed cleaning and that's about it. Little corrosion on the outside, none in the bore.

The guy at the gun shop said that a Sharps like mine in the hands of an expert could hit a 12"x12" target at a tremendous distance.

What was the name of the movie that featured a Sharps marksman? "Valdez is Coming" IIRC.

wasn't the amazing shot of one mile that killed an indian sieging a camp a sharp's?

Eudora allows you to specify specific newsgroups in your filter--I simply chose an ng I would never otherwise look at that was in the crosspost list--just like that, no more crap.

"Quigly Down Under", starring Tom Selleck!

Or also "Quigley Down Under" with Tom Selleck. A friend who ~is~ an expert told me that sequence where Selleck made a water bucket dance at a quarter-mile was pretty much accurate. Me, I'd be happy just to ~see~ the damn bucket!

*Only* a quarter mile? 99% hit a large pizza pan, 78% a standard pie tin at 1000 yards......over half a mile......damn but I love 6.5mm's........6.5X55 Swede or 6.5-06, failing that I'll use a .30-06.

Both, actually. It was about a mile long shot.

Tom

This was with ~no~ scope, just the old fashioned windage and elevation trapeze. As I said, I'd be happy just to ~see~ the damn bucket!

Oh, you wanted iron sights, change the number to 95% and 70% then.
