    Yeah. But when the Black Panthers started doing it in California back in 1967, they looked cool and bad ass. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OUQIYLQ2rbk

    Yeah. I'll have to watch it tomorrow or on the weekend.

    Hopefully the film approaches the quality of "Black Dynamite" in terms of its humor and skill in lampooning a medium.

    The details that they have are pretty far out. Blackmail? Obviously there's the whole presumption of innocent until proven guilty. But this is some crazy stuff.

    Call them up for active service, put a rifle in their hands, point them in the general direction of Syria.

    The WWF is the World Wrestling Federation. Not the World Wildlife Fund. Until this travesty against justice and common sense is corrected, I will continue to internally voice every World Wildlife Fund sob story raising awareness for some critter or their hand-wringing pleas for donations in the voice of the "Macho Man" Randy Savage. Besides, the WWF also raised awareness for animals...

    Shouldn't it be Pegasus Aerospace?

    Neat. I'll be taking you up on that offer when I get back at the end of August/early September. Having an extra 1.6 inches would help the Enfield shoulder nicely. That rifle grenade strategy seems rather optimistic considering the rapid advancement of armor post-World War 2. Not saying it can't be done because Audie Murphy knocked out a (albeit disabled) tank in Italy as one of his exploits. Spam enough of them and something is bound to work.

    Who is the Caernaervon named after? I did the standard Wiki and saw a dozen or so Earls of Caernarvons and while they seem the average sort of English peers, none of them seemed to stand out in a military way.

    I really like my Enfield which is the same as yours if I remember right. I'll have to do the same trick when I get back home from Alaska. The only thing that I have to complain about is that short European length of pull (I have long monkey arms).

    *Laughs maniacally!* I'm glad the nickname went a different route. If I'm picking a Civil War general to go to war with in 1942, it'd be Sherman.
  13. Donward
    Yep. Also had Paul Sorvino there at the poker table.

    I think we need some particularly terrible new music. This song and video is so delightfully tacky. It is like digging through a dumpster shared by a Chinese restaurant and a adult video store in the summertime with each layer uncovered revealing an entire new level of olfactory and visual putrescence. The main reason I leave it here is a question over the song's hook with the singer proclaiming that she is a "Black wittle baby". Now they may want you to think that she is saying "Black Widow baby" by fooling you with all of the spider imagery. However I feel that the diminutive phrase is the correct one considering that Iggy Azalea is affecting a baby-type voice. Also, those girls obviously have had training with those katanas...

    I'm not sure if this means anything or not but I've been dinking around and discovering old Coleman lantern newspaper ads from the 1970s that feature the phrase "Lights the first time, everytime". http://www.newspapers.com/newspage/23959702/ Most of the adverts are from mid-size dailies. Obviously the term "Lights the first time, everytime" was fully established as a phrase by that point. Again, what is the origin?

    There is a certain joie de vivre in standing around and beating Luigi down like he owes us money.

    Man. I wish you had mentioned this earlier as I'll be going up to Alaska on June 9 and everything is fairly hectic until then. I've been a newspaper reporter off and on since 1999 and would like to get some more long form journalism under my belt.

    And so it begins...

    I can always be proven wrong. But I'm wondering if a simpler explanation is estranged family members making wild claims hoping to cash in on the inheritance

    Nah. If the Cold War was World of Tanks, you'd have a bunch of hippies General Discussion scrubs demanding that we nerf arty thermonuclear weapons. This is despite the fact that arty thermonuclear weapons prevents camping and allows for a more aggressive game play experience. Finally, when the politicians developers finally decided to nerf it, everyone got bored with the game, unsubscribed and decided to play the 1990s Grunge expansion of Guitar Hero instead.

    Makes sense to me and it jives with what I've read. I always like to get multiple sources on information. As for the MAS-36, I found it to be a pretty rugged and utilitarian gun. Being an American used to bolt action hunting rifles, I've never found it to be a particularly pleasing weapon to fire. On the other hand it doesn't strike me as a finicky rifle and no doubt it was good enough for the French post-World War 2 given their unique military situation during that time.
  22. Donward
    Assuming you're not already typing a response but I always wondered why the French opted not to put a safety on the MAS (and Berthier). Were they just keeping the production simple or was this a conscious decision to keep command and control of troops loading their weapons in the hands of their officers. Or a different view on firearm safety? Edit: Merci!
  23. Donward
    Handy! I figured it had something to do with aiming of the boomstick but didn't know it flipped up like that. My brother has a plain-jane Mas-36 from one of the trips to Ye Olde Big Five. The spike bayonet is made of awesome. Took us the longest time to find the safety on it though... ... ... ... I know there's no safety.
  24. Donward
    What is the bit of metal just behind the front sight for? Also, if you got the spike bayonet, flaunt it!
