  1. Given the criticism of Pegula for the hiring in the first place, does he get any recognition for parting ways with him?

    Are you asking or demanding, honey?

     

    It's the sort of credit that I would give a blind squirrel for finding the nut that we mercifully placed in its paws.

     

    You do deserve ctedit, little squirrel! Good for you! Good job last season! Sorry about the rumours about Eichels drinking, on Basil's boat, little buddy. Too bad he's underage. Glad he ducked under the bow when the cops came. Close call!

  2. I just did the upgrade on my desktop. It"s more like Win7 than it is Win8. You could use it without a touch screen. Cortina relies on a mic, so if you don't have that, your lovely assistant will just sit in the background like an dumb nincompoop. Overall, I like it, the install was easy and there weren't any problems. I'm running it full non-privacy because I'd like the OS to double as my conscience. I hope that Big Brother is watching and is proud of his little brother.

  3. I won't go so far as to call Southern Tier mediocre. At one time I would have said they are ahead of the curve, and standing out. But I think their selections have kind of gone stale. Hop Sun and Live! are two of my go to beers, so it's not their quality I am questioning as much as it is the depth of their product lineup. They just aren't as interesting a brand as they used to be.

    Their new beer Compass might get you back on their map. It's brewed with rosehips. It's my new very special occassion beer.

     

    For a true session, you can't find a better beer than OV. Try it with a slice of lime. Ahhh. You'll think you were laying out on the beach at Sandbanks Provincial Park. And it won't irritate your bowels like those other industrial lagers. Have an Old Vienna. It's what beer was like before the Nazis. The real good old days.

     

    You poor Genny drinkers. Getting all nostalgic over your Cream Ales, literally stuck to your toilets the next day. Tssk tssk.

  4. Another cool thing about that Henry is that it accepts 3 different sizes of .22 ammo.

     

    However, .22 ammo is like crack to shooters. Folks wait outside Walmart for the truck to arrive, hands shaking, teeth chattering, that is, if they still have their teeth. They will do anything to get their fix. They start with a box, and are soon onto bricks. Before you know it, they are buying out a stores' entire inventory.

     

    My prescious.

  5. So that Henry holds 15 in the magazine. Is that legal? I do want it.

     

    I bought 5 round mags for my Ruger after the Safe Act, and at the start of all this .22 ammo madness.

    But a 15 round mag is legal if you only load 5 at a time?

     

    I ckecked the wiki. .22 caliber tubular magazines are exempt from the safe act. You da man, d4rksabre.

  6. Hey, SabreSpace Rod and Gun Club?

     

    What is the scoop on .22 ammo?  I had a Ruger and loved it, but it went with the better half when we broke up.  Should I buy another .22?  Will this ammo issue be an ongoing annoyance?  I really just want something for plinking and rabbits.  I like target practicing and am interested in long range shooting.  My budget is about $420 on a gun scope combo.  Your thoughts would be appreciated. 

  7. I did... more of a general idea to support my stupid pun  :ph34r:

     

    Oh, Gurle, ne cheil mal han ono lul hangook mal i ya

     

    I've been thinking of retiring.  You seem like the perfect replacement.

     

    Stick with it for two weeks, buddy, while I phase out.  Then it's your show to run.

     

    Got it?

  8. I do hope that nfeeman doesn't mind me recounting this little tale, but I got good and drunk recently, spouted off pretty wildly here on SabreSpace, and used some language that some could possibly have deemed offensive.

     

    Don't worry, I reported myself.  Nfreeman let me off with a warning.

     

    The moral of the story is, when you get drunk and ###### up, come clean immediately.  Don't try and pretend like you didn't just put the new proverbial drive-thru window into the old Tim Hortons.  The powers that be will catch up to you eventually, and the interest will compound on your mistakes.  We can self-regulate here on this board, so if you find yourself running afoul of the rules, just report yourself immediately.  It makes things a whole lot easier on everyone, and nfreemans an understanding dude.  

     

    I figure that if I had leaved the scene of the accident, and not reported myself immediately, mods would have come down on me HARD.  And I wouldn't be able to post this little nugget of wisedumb. 

  9. The conspiracy around Battista was that he meddled in hockey matters. That he was canned by the new business president does, in fact, suggest the conspiracy theorists were totally out to lunch. As is usually the case

    The conspiracy around Battista was that he was the liason between the business side and the hockey side.  With the Bills, neither side really dictates to the other.  If the Sabres now emulate the Bills model, that would eliminate the need for a Battista.  

     

    If you pay attention to the rising of Venus, you will see that this was bound to happen.  August of 2015, just like was predicted in The Wicans Almanac.  There aren't really any advanced stats that could have helped you in this situation.  My friend, who is a Druid, actually predicted the day and hour of the event.  It's really amazing stuff.

     

    Perspicacity, my dear doctor.  Perspicacity.   ;)

  10. My son...

     

    He's 2-3/4.  When he saw the little fishing pole, designed for youngsters, he knew it was for him.

     

    FLASHBACK:  I had planned on going fishing with him anyway, and we enjoyed looking for worms together, because turning over rocks is fun.  Like a new planet, every turn.  He had a little hand digger that he'd scrape beneath each rock.  Every worm we found, we were excited.  Tell you what, I even got excited about slugs and grubs, but the slugs aren't worth the pickin'.

     

    When he saw that pole, he was into fishing.  Grandparents, you should stock the old short pole in your fishing arsenal, because it hooks 2-3 year olds, big time.  You see, to him, there's a baby rod, a mommy rod, and a daddy rod.

     

    He spent a lot of time just practicing casting with a bare bobber.   :wub:


    He'd cast the thing over the porch rail and pretend to catch everything under the sun.

     

    I caught a beautiful butterfly!  (We'll put it in the bucket and throw it on the grill)

     

    I caught a spider! (We'll put it in the bucket and throw it on the grill​)


    I don't plan to fish ponds too much. I hate catching sunfish all day long. Little f*ckers. 

    But I'll keep that in mind if I find myself planning to hit some smaller ponds. 

    The ironic thing is, that the Sunfish are absolutely the best eating.  Their only good for two upper back filets (see Youtube, of course), but they are about the best tasting fish you can eat.  

     

    Bass are more fun to reel in, and bigger, but they aren't worth the cleaning and cooking.

  11. Next time you need to haul a load of drywall, just call your friend with the turkey burgers and see how well that works out for you.

    Ha!

     

    You probably didn't reckon on the turkeys hauling my drywall for me!

     

    Also, maybe you haven't heard these stories on the radio about Subaru Foresters being able to haul a lot of soil, but I am willing to bet that with enough baling twine, in dry weather, they'd be able to carry drywall on the roof also, driving carefully on the back roads that Suburus are known best for driving on!

     

    It's guys like you that gave the El Camino a bad name. Never mind that, though.  Even though you drove the El Camino to extinction with your insistence on a "Man-sized" truck (to compensate for...) you will never get away with taking my turkeys off the road.  When you mess with my Turkeys, you mess with Me, Swamp Pee.  I can't wait to not give you the right of way when my turkey are loaded down with a big stack of drywall, and you have to wait, like forever.

     

    Then you'll wish you were driving something electric, because your gas bill, buddy, waiting for those birds to pass is going to put the mother of gosh hurting on your bank account.  I don't care how rich you are.  You'll wish you did have an El Camino, bro.

  12. A lot of us are better than Pominville, drinking-wise.

     

    We shall find out though, if the population of O'Riellyville ever matches the mighty population of Pominville, NEVER MIND THE CAPTAINCY!

     

    There are lots of guys in line for the captaincy who can handle their liquor.

     

    I question Ryan's decision making capability.  There are lots of players ahead of him who would decide to put it in 1 to go forward and R to go backwards, and not the opposite.

     

    He also needs a lesson in what pedal is the brake, what pedal is the clutch, and what pedal is the accelerator.

     

    I think that the folks who are still looking at him as captain material (Pominville status) are in serious denial.
