Glad I could be of service. Now, how many people wouldn't get the "divide by zero" reference? ;)

Don't get me wrong, one less criminal is always a good thing. I can simply foresee our bleeding heart legal system making a mess of this. I guess it all depends on where the entry and exit wounds are.

Surely you don't mean to suggest people should use critical thinking and reasoning skills when reading someone's opinion on the internet? Do a little research and make an informed decision for themselves? That's the craziest thing I've ever heard. Clearly you've lost your mind. Wait... is there an app for that? :rofl: Ding! It's called a free market economy for a reason. Do I think a number of retailers and individuals have taken advantage of the situation and made an absurd profit? Absolutely. But they haven't made any money off me. Don't like the prices? Don't buy.

Shot the guy while he was running away? That won't end well.

The K31 has a detachable magazine, just like most anything else... AR, AK, etc. Reproduction mags are available. If the price was appropriate, I wouldn't let that bother me too much. edit.... If I had money, I'd be all over this... http://www.wideners.com/itemdetail.cfm?item_id=100000826&dir=700|701|1029

Other than the obvious smell, skunks are good critters to have around. They (and possums) eat all kinds of other critters you'd rather not have. Squirrels on the other hand, are just plain annoying.... "rats with good PR".

Here's some info about the differences between a K11 and K31. http://www.swissrifles.com/sr/index.html I paid $325 for my nicely refinished K31 and a couple hundred rounds about 5 years ago. It's far more accurate than I am. And yes, the GP11 surplus is essentially "match grade" ammo. Its definiately a keeper and a good conversation piece. Lots of people have no idea what they are.

Tempting... It is nice to know that my 91/30 has nearly doubled in value in 2 years. :)

My sister and b-i-l have a theater room similar to yours, projector with 90" screen. The trouble you'll have with a painted wall is that it's neither flat nor smooth. The smooth can be fixed with lots of sanding. The waviness of sheet rock will distort the image a bit.

Trapping them will work, but keep in mind that a possum in a trap is a very unhappy critter. The urine should work too and yes, seal up any small openings with Great Stuff. But be careful if you're spraying it into a closed cavity. If you over-do it, the foam can expand with enough pressure to crack masonry. My Dad has the same problem with racoons. He traps and relocates them, but he's taking them 20 miles away. I don't think 3 miles is nearly far enough and I certainly wouldn't be wasting gas hauling squirrels. Go back to the BB gun, just clean up after yourself more promptly. They make good fertilizer...

Yep, there's just something about a wailing trumpet. I still listen to Maynard Ferguson for that very reason. And PM send about the band...
-
What most of them said. It's dirty and maybe a little soft, but works fine. Wear would only be a concern if you're shooting multi-thousands of rounds.

About a month for my wife recently as well. Congrats!

Yes, quite an expensive cab ride. But given how much the concert tickets are... The "Market Square" area has a number of good restaurants/bars. It's walking distance if you're up for a 2-ish mile walk. Tomato head, Downtown Grill & Brewery, Tupelo Honey, and Preservation Pub are all good. Cafe 4 is good too, but I don't recommend it for political reasons. Much closer to the Arena is Calhoun's and Ruth's Chris on Neyland Dr. There's also lots of stuff on the Cumberland Ave "strip" edit.... and so far, the weather forecast is crappy. Cold, rainy, snowy.... :yuck:

Your homeowners should cover it, less your deductible of course. Ask around about free firewood. I know of a few that would be interested.

My ex-girlfriend at the time (also in the band) was a redhead and played the flute...

Appleseed supporter? http://www.appleseedinfo.org/

In Texas of all places too. Good for the mom for calling this goob out!

We never did that contest, but did plenty of others around the area. Interestingly, I met my wife at one about 3 years before we actually met. The UTC band did an exhibition at a contest her HS band attended. Obviously, we're both band geeks. We got to talking about it and found out she was at that show. She remembered it vividly.... something about the flag girls in leotards dancing in a very sexy fashion around the trumpet line (me) while playing Heartbreak Hotel stuck in her memory. Stuck in my memory too. We had to practice it over, and over, and over... :)

Dunno. I click the link and get an embedded video player and it starts automatically. There's one comment below the video and nothing else one the page seems to load, though I attribute that to my employer's web filtering. My HS (Hixson) had a very good program and from there I went to UTC for 2 years. That was, by far, the most fun I've ever had in band. The band itself was excellent and the directors really did a great job of making sure it was fun. Leaving the band was my only regret when I transferred to TTU.

Yes, I'm a former band geek. I got this in an email and found it pretty impressive. I'm told this is the Royal Norwegian Guard Regiment. Their pin wheels could use a little work, but otherwise the performance is excellent. Reminds me of the good 'ole days when all I had to worry about was staying in step. A few things to note... They're marching on ice. They're carrying functional Garands. They're playing music from one of the greatest movies, ever. http://sorisomail.com/email/16993/exibicao-de-banda-militar--um-espectaculo-imperdivel.html

A former coworker's Dad would deer hunt from the kitchen table. Their back door opened to the corn field behind the house. He could only get away with it when his wife was out shopping.

This requires pics....

Exactly the same. Car parts may get a little thicker layer of chrome, but no real difference otherwise.
