I too looked at the subject line with tongue in cheek...then saw it was Tim posting!    My heart hasn't beat like that since the neighbor lady was gardening in a thong.  :o   I have overcome both now.  ;)  Good one Tim.

I read the subject and thought "another rumor."  ::)

I read who posted it and cried "OH NO!"   :'(

I read your post and wished I could get my hands on you!   :D

The man is destroying his reputation. Can he ever again be taken seriously?

Also, it isn't very nice to trick an old guy because now I want revenge.

And by the way, I just read that Obama's popularity rating went way up.

Me too.  After the anouncement of the Marlin plant closing, I thought for a second this might be true.

Tim, that was not right.  Us old men with bad tickers can't take that kind of thing.  We'll get even one way or another.  Got me, with all the other bad news lately about Marlin, I thought it might be true.
Where is old Joe when we really need him?  Alaska Independence    Calling Illegal Immigrants "Undocumented Aliens" is like calling Drug Dealers "Unlicensed Pharmacists"

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.

You just about caused me a few nights in the doghouse. When I saw you posted it, I almost didn't even read it and reached for my wallet. The local FFL has a 22 Hornet SL, a 357 synthetic, and a 20ga USHL that I was headed to buy had it not been a joke.

Please take time to take a kid hunting, it will be a life long memory and blessing for both of you!

I saw the heading and I was on my way to the classifieds to put a 22 Hornet barrel for sale @ $495.00!! ;D

Man, I finally thought I had an investment that was going to make some $$$$$.

When the Moderator starts harrassing us who do we complain to? ::)

thanks for the chuckle Tim.
