Ich bin ein Berliner. - I am a jelly-filled doughnut.

My German is rusty, but I think that is corroded.

The rest of my family was from Georgia, so you know I grew up eating grits. OTOH, I've never developed a taste for turnip greens. Yuk!

While I'm not normally a fan of magazine disconnects, in the case of striker fired handguns that must be dry fired, or some other procedure accomplished, to field strip, I think the mag disconnect is a very good idea. I still think duty weapons with hammers are a better idea, but if I was going to choose a "public friendly" hammerless model, I'd probably go with the M&P.

I'm not into kimchi either. Have a friend in Jonesborough who loves the stuff. I do like roter kohl though.

Yeah, most of the time officers can figure out who should have a gun and who shouldn't.

Mean Green actually seems better than Simple Green. Get it at Dollar General. Even cuts through cosmoline. I've heard that Ballistol is good. Except for that, I couldn't tell you. I'm about as anti-organic as it comes.

The leader of the group was Bobby W. Sproles, who, at that time, operated a small grocery in the city of Bristol, Virginia, about fifteen miles west of Abingdon. Sproles said the series contained "common curse words" such as "damn" and "hell." "Evil comes from this kind of thing," he said. "We should hold our children off from seeing these words as long as possible." The School Board was non-committal. At the next meeting, Sproles' group was back in force. There was standing room only. The Rev. Tommy Tester, pastor of the Gospel Baptist Church, said "the demons of hell have entered the bodies of our educators." Sproles asked women and children to leave the room as he read the offensive words. Two children left. Sproles read: "By god … poor bastard …God damn the Prince of Wales … sick as a pink-assed baby in the crib." All the offensive quotations were from Billy Budd, a modern adaptation of the Herman Melville novella by playwrights Louis O. Coxe and Robert Chapman. Melville wrote the story shortly before his death in 1891 after a long dry period of wrestling with religious and social questions. It is a profound statement. A moving story. A morality play. Glad the children had the Rev. Tester to lead them.

Oh, it must be all a mistake.... He was frightened by the cops and denies it all. http://www.timesnews.net/article.php?id=9002266 Bristol pastor, Christian radio station employee charged with indecent exposure Published 07/30/2007 By Kacie Dingus Breeding A Christian radio station employee and Bristol pastor has been charged with indecent exposure as well as DUI and violation of the open container law. WZAP-AM 690's owner, Al Morris has issued a brief statement Monday afternoon saying, "As many of you are aware Tommy Tester, an employee of WZAP was recently arrested in Washington County, Tenn. "The allegations, as reported by the news media, are serious and are in no way condoned or accepted by the ownership and management of WZAP. "We do not know all the details and facts concerning the arrest; but for the time being Tommy has been relieved of his responsibilities at the station until such facts surrounding the case are determined. "We pray that this matter can be quickly resolved. In the meantime, we ask you to pray for Tommy and for WZAP." The Johnson City Press reported Saturday that Thomas Dale Tester, 58, of 17426 Hobbs Road, reportedly faces charges of driving under the influence, indecent exposure and violation of the open container law. Morris said Monday in a phone interview that Tester, known to listeners as "Tommy Tester," is also pastor of Gospel Baptist Church on Reedy Creek Road. "So far, they (members of the congregation) have rallied behind Tommy," Morris said. Morris, who was on vacation when he first heard about the allegations and read the details in the Johnson City Press, added, "It's the biggest shock of my life." Having since read the two police reports over and over again, Morris spoke of his desire to wait until all the facts are revealed in court before condemning Tester, "I know what the police report has told me and I know what Tommy has told me--Tommy has denied all of it." Morris said his staff, the station's listeners and members of Tester's congregation were all shocked about Johnson City police officers' allegations. When he talked to Tester, "He said they (Johnson City police) scared him--he was scared to death and didn't know what he'd said or what he'd admitted or anything else," Morris said. According to the Johnson City Press article, Tester allegedly pulled up in a blue 2007 Toyota Camry and offered to give Johnson City police officers oral sex when they arrived at 308 S. Belmont Street to investigate a report of indecent exposure. Tester, allegedly wearing a skirt, then reportedly got out of his car at the Belmont Car Wash and urinated in a wash bay in public view with children present. A search of Tester’s vehicle reportedly revealed a half-empty pint-sized bottle of vodka and an empty bottle of Oxycodone in the passenger floorboard. Morris said Tester had told him about the painkiller prescription, which he'd said was prescribed due to previous back surgeries. According to reports, Tester also allegedly admitted to police that he had been drinking and failed all field sobriety tests. Morris said he'd relieved Tester of his duties at the station pending the outcome of the case. Tester was released on bond from the Washington County Detention Center Friday afternoon and is scheduled to appear in Sessions Court on Tuesday.

Virginia Minister Charged With Indecent Exposure, DUI Tuesday, July 31, 2007 JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. — A minister and Christian radio station employee has been charged with indecent exposure and driving under the influence, police say. Tommy Tester, 58, of Bristol, Va., was arrested last week by Johnson City police after they say Tester urinated in front of children at a car wash. Police also said Tester, who was wearing a skirt, offered to perform oral sex on officers who responded to the car wash. He was also charged with having an open container of vodka in his car. Tester is the minister of Gospel Baptist Church in Bristol and works for Christian radio station WZAP-AM. Calls on Tuesday to the church and Tester's home were not immediately returned. The radio station issued a statement on Monday asking for prayers and saying Tester had been suspended pending an investigation. "We pray this matter can be quickly resolved," WZAP owner Al Morris said in the statement. Tester was released Friday on $1,000 bond. A hearing is scheduled for Oct. 25.

There are dozens of computer shooting videos on youtube. I'm sure there is meaning in that. A friend of mine used to shoot roaches with an airgun in his Oak Ridge apartment. Years ago, I bought a copy of Barberella staring that darling of the Vietnam generation Hanoi Jane. I intended to use it for shooting practice but have never gotten around to blasting it. Maybe at the next TGO shoot....

I had one guy from Boston who insisted I needed his help in dealing with TVA nuclear plant engineering. After a while he found out that neither the TVA engineers not I were very interested in his expertise, so I stuck him on a plane back to "Bahston". Talking to him on the phone after that, the subject of grits came up. I guess they don't have them in yankeeland. He wanted to know what they were like. Best I could come up with was that they were like soft sand. I finally sent him a box.

I wonder if packing.org will come back up. I think the guy behind it lost interest some time ago. BTW, handgunlaw.us also keeps up-to-date specific info about carry in the individual states in Acrobat files. se http://handgunlaw.us/documents/USOffLimitsA-M.pdf for Alabama.

http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/assistant/editorial_1666.shtm has info on packing your guns as luggage on a plane. Note that different airlines may have additional restrictions. You would need to contact them. It really isn't that hard to transport a gun in your luggage. You do have to have a lockable hard case.

Phantom, most people I know would have the shine during the shoot. Tower, if you want some good moonshine, join a Civil War reenacting group. Someone always brings some good stuff. I used to keep a reagent bottle filled with moonshine for when yankees (purposely spelled in non-cap) would come in to work with me. They always wanted to taste it.

Well, that looks less ridiculous than a beret. Maybe a nice Pickelhaube?

This topic is making me thirsty.

I disliked berets when they were green and in Vietnam. If you can't tell the warrior without his chapeau, he isn't a warrior. You can tell a warrior by the look in his eyes and on his face. It has nothing to do with a hat.

Oh...I thought you were military.

During one of my civilian breaks of sanity, I used to supply the nice folks at JD with high temperature pumps.

I hate berets; I hate berets, I despise those sissy berets; and I hate them. I don't like them either. Wimpy, wimpy, wimpy. "Special Forces" huh? Only male "special" people I know who wear berets are either French or gay or both. I do like boonies. I was wearing one both times when I met with General Abrams in 1969. He hated boonies. Too f...in' bad. They are practical head gear, not a fashion statement. Ric Shinseki was a disappointment in so many ways. His appointment by Clinton explains a lot. His mindless arrogance was only equaled by his incompetence. Here is a years old review that pretty well sums up the idiot General and the black beret fiasco: http://www.militarycorruption.com/blackberet.htm I hate berets. I thought they looked wimpy in the 60s
