Sip-n-Talk September 2010

Hey Dogs:

I hope you have your favorite drink and are ready to talk. My Buffalo Trace has been poured over the rocks and I am ready.

My First real job was being a Life Guard at a private swim and tennis club. I made 50 cents an hour more than my buddies cutting grass and cleaning up. Big money back then. The the benefits of all those girls <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> ...the ultimate first job...heck I would have paid them to work there, thank goodness they did not know that.

Remember the first one to respond to this post gets a $25 shop credit

Let's sip n talk

Dan

Wooo, in!

Evening , Sipping on a bit o Pappy tonight, might switch to a little Atlantico Rum later

I have my drink Crown and Coke! Hey Dan!

Nice Ishi

2nd

Cold Bud Light here. Howdy Dan!

In

My first job was mowing grass! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Congrats, looks like you are the first listed. I will let Renee know that you get the $25 shop credit to use on anything ScrapYard sells

Dan

My first job was at Walmart, worked there for 3 years, started at 16 pushing carts in from the parking lot

I am glad you made it

Doesn't the first reply pertaining to a "first job" count? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

My first job was bending sheet metal for my step dad's HVAC company. I made a whooping $0.25/hr at the ripe ole age of 10.

My first job was at age 13, I worked at a marina and drove folks out to the springs to dive with the manatees. Also loaded and unloaded the rentals. I was too young to get paid so the owner let me run up a tab in the dive shop and get things as i could pay for them on my tab. I worked up enough to get a full set of snorkeling gear and a nice dive knife. It was a great job. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Driving a boat all day in Sunny FL, meeting people and doing it all on the crystal clear Crystal River. I miss those days. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Sounds good across the board to me

Moved into electronics after about 3 months of that, really enjoyed that job, pay sucked but I really didn't do anything, oh the amount of times I went in completely sideways....the memories, or lack there of

By rentals, I mean rental boats...little 12 foot aluminum boats. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My first job was working on a turkey farm. Had to help feed and water the birds, clean the houses when they were done, and everything in between. Got to drive trucks and tractors too, which was fun for a while. I was 13 when I started there.

Was it push mower...hard work for sure

Thats some real work and real money for a 10 yr old

Nice to see someone else was working at age 13 Todd. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> Kids today wouldn't think of it....at least most wouldn't. they're too busy with their Play stations, etc. lol

My step dad moved me into the "insulation" division. This basically meant I was the guy stuffing bails of ground up newspaper into a big blower bin mounted in the bed of an old Chevy truck. By the end of the day (summer time) I looked like a paper mache person because the fine paper stuck to my sweat <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Other than mowing neighbors' yards, my first "paid" job was mowing grass for a company, and doing other odd jobs such as painting, etc. I started when I was 12, and eventually they started paying me once every couple of weeks so that it was worth cutting a check for it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

I guess technically that was my first job also, but that was only for my parents and grandparents

Worked there for a couple years after school and during the summer. When I turned 16 and got a Jeep I found a job that wasn't quite so....fragrant.

Dan - I learned a lesson in that sheet metal shop! Work hard, work smart, and do something with yourself.

I'll bet that was interesting considering all the walks of life that go to Walmart

Ain't that the truth! My son won't even help mow the grass unless I bribe or threaten him. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

its amazing what you can get away with when al lyou do it stand behind a register listening to loud music leaning up against a column for 8 hours

I worked at the marina for a couple years then it was on to Burger King - Man did I miss the marina. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> But at least BK could pay me since I was older then...and i got free Whoppers. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Yes, it was a push mower, but NOT an old reel-type! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

My first job shaped my future in more ways than I could ever have for-told. My father wanted me to desperately learn a trade...and stay away from just screwing around for the summer. He knew some folks at the local fabrication shop, and got me a job as a fitter's helper.

We built asphalt plants. First summer (I was 15)...I was simply a helper...sweeping up, fetching parts, holding things in place for the welders...basically whatever was needed of me. Learned a lot about building things, and grew strong quickly. 10 hour days in mid-july in texas working inside a shop was a good learning experience about hard work.

The job progresses...next summer I was able to help weld a bit...and some of the guys took me under their wings to teach me the art of welding. The next summer I was hired in as a welder, running mostly 1018 rods and sometimes hard-wire. The fourth summer, I was hired in as a welder...but was given small projects to complete on my own, with my own helper.

I left that last fall for engineering school. This experience provided me with much "know-how" on how things get built from the ground up. I use the knowledge daily...

Oh yeah, although not nearly as interesting as the people who work there

I dated a girl whos father had turkeys...like 10,000 of them. I never got used to that smell when she had to feed and water them <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Not feeling so hot tonight, but I wanted to pop in and say hello. I hope everyone enjoys the drinks tonight! Have a few for me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Mmmm, free whoppers

Hello Renee!

Too funny, that had to be hot work

Sweet! Thanks, Dan! I hit submit without waiting because I knew it would be a battle...just got done with my job history (took awhile to type it out)

Glad you stopped in Renee, hope you feel better

To this day, and I'm 43 years old, I won't touch turkey meat. At Thanksgiving we cook a ham.

Turkey farms can smell pretty rough! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> There's a few of them around here.

Hi Renee! Thx for stopping in <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Hope you get feeling better soon!

Todd, have you smelled a pig farm? lol

I worked in a "family style" restaurant while in High School. After seeing the uneaten "family style" dishes come back into the kitchen, and get "recycled" (ie - dumped back into the corn, green beans, mash potatoes, fried chicken, etc) I swore off eating out for a long time.

I would think a marina would be a blast

It was money, and at 13 $2.75 an hour was a lot of money. I made $25-30 a week during the school year and $100 or so a week during the summers. I was quite happy.

+1 Rest up Renee, and hope you feel better!

gross, I've always heard horror stories about all fast food restaurants

Makes you wonder about those "all you can eat" buffets! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

It was a blast Dan- Taking divers out to the springs to swim with the manatees was an awesome job to have. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My first paying job was as an oilfield hot shot company driver. I was 16 and made $8/hr, waaaay more than my buddies. Did it for 4 years until I enlisted in the Marine Corps.

Sounds like a job I would have loved too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

The reel type would have killed ya...I did it once for 10 minutes...never again <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Oh yeah, but I've never worked on one. We have 5 in the lot right now getting fattened up for this fall. We have a few (25 or so) chickens too.

Darn hogs <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> hehe ('kin joke)

This wasn't a fast food chain. It was a family owned restaurant that served "family style" food. I don't know if that's a Southern Indiana thing, but a lot of places here still serve everything in big bowls that everyone at the table serves out of.

we have an italian place like that down the street

Great sanitation! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

We had one near us when I was a kid. Our dog got into it and killed all of the turkeys, something like 170.

Lets all raise our glasses to one great lady...Renee you are the best and I hope you get to feeling better...Cheers

No restaurants like that here in FL...

The restaurant job beat my "Rear Projection TV Delivery" job one summer. The very first one we delivered was on the secondary story of an apartment building.

You'd be AMAZED at what women will wear when two guys are delivering a TV to their house <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

You worried about a few boogers from that kid over there, PK? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Stuffed dog! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

KS, can't think of much better a job for a teenager than to be on the water like that. I'd do it right now. I love being on the water.

Get to feeling better Renee! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

hahaha

You just never know where those fingers have been! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

LOL I get ya

I saw corn come back with a cigarette in it that was "strained" and dumped back in the warmer <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> .


The health department shut the place down, and thus my job search began anew.

Me too and I did love it...I just wish I could remember all the girls in bikinis. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I'm sure there were lots of em.

Hi Renee - I hope you get to feeling better! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Mmmmm....Ham. I love those honey-baked hams.

You guys are making me excited about ThanksGiving!!! I'm spending that week in the deer stand this year!!

He was a ritired fighting dog named Pokey.

very gross, wow

The owner of the one I worked on tried "free range turkeys" once. Fenced in about 25 acres and just turned a bunch loose. Fed and watered them every day, but other than that they were on their own. Dogs got in once and killed about 200 of them. We put up tree stands to watch for dogs, ended up shooting about half a dozen. I didn't much like that, but couldn't have them killing the birds.

rth - that's rough. I'd have a hard time shooting another dog.

Sounds like Pokey made fast work of the birds! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Me too, already got the week off work approved. Can't wait!

I'm on vacation week after next....just in time for Knob Creek <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My first job was a shoe shine boy at a Naval Air Station. Hated to shine those Marine boots! I had my old stand until recently. 25 cents a shine. You could actually buy stuff for a quarter in 1958.

All this talk of food is making me hungry --- and I just ate! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Sweet! I'm hoping I knock something down so I can do a blade review with a little blood / gore. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

HD that's respectable work!

Yeah, the owner wanted to kill our dog. But my dad wouldn't let him. I wouldn't have blamed the guy, that's a lot of money.

Ooh...rub it in!!!

For the first Dog to remember what my first car was and that I bought with my lifeguard money I will give a $50 dollar shop credit. We will see how good you really are...my memory is never good on bourbon <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> LOL

Rub what in...

1) No work.
2) Machine guns.
3) BLADES.

Good for uyour Dad!

Hmmm, Dan's first car...I'm guessing it wasn't an MG Midget? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

everyone is searching for the last Sip and talk

How about a 46' Ford Dan? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Plymouth valiant? Just a guess.

my first real job was as a grocery store over night stock boy. they put me on the cans and jars. believe or not that was some pretty hard and heavy work! especially when you are told you "have to" do a certain amount. little did I know there was a snack isle and also tissue isle that the senior guys spent the whole night coasting through. I would kill myself only to go to take a bathroom break and pss by a guy sleeping on a pallet or PTSD guys hanging out talking!

Dan, I have an off topic question, Does Renee ever make it to Blade? and what did Jerry mean by " you Dogs don't even know that your Renee is among you"???

I'll bet that shining a Marines boots was tough...regardless of the money...weren't they always stepping in something...on purpose

Jared - I think that was the booze talking! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The brains of our enemies!

wasn't that your car??

1963 Chevy Impala convertable

Stepping on the back of a recruit's head, forcing him into the mud! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Hmmm, possibly, and he was distraught over a Dog winning the Ash contest

There ya' go! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Hah! I'm on dialup, not even bothering to try <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No, mine was a 63 Plymouth Savoy. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Man...I remember reading about that...I bet that was a hoot. Really wish I could've been there for that, seemed like a really good time was had by all.

Got here late, so I think I'm past any contests... but hello everyone! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

No, maybe, sort of not...does that help...ok NO

As for Jerry, the blue was flowing that night

It was a GREAT time, and ColdOne made us all proud by winning the most shop credits! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Glad you could make it, Joe!

Howdy Ho Joe, whatcha know? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Thanks! Sip 'n Talks are always worth stopping by!

Correct but you already won...so sorry

Anyone else...its a tough one

1963 Chevy Impala? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

63 chevy impala convertible?

Hay Tom! I know I need some food. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

convertible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

63 chevy impala convertible

I was just about to ask - 63 Chevy Impala convertable? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

side note, anyone into rums, give Atlantico Rum a try, excellent sipping rum

Anyone Anyone

I'm embarrassed to mention what I'm sipping. I might be banned <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

I think Ish got it.

Dan's first car was a 1963 Chevy Impala Convertible, right?

I got a bottle of The Kraken spiced rum. Good stuff... interesting commercials on YouTube.

I'm drinking Bud Light, so can't be much worse than that LOL

Bartles and James?

rth - nothing wrong with Brother Bud.

LOL

That's fair...I shouldn't have gone for it...figured it was being a little too aggressive. But, it's SYKCO credit...can you blame me?!!

Can I trade up <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Edit: doh! didn't realize we could only win once...sorry boss, wasn't trying to skip the rules <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Unless it's got an umbrella in it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Bartles and James.....LOL!!!

American Honey Bourbon

I'm drinking iced tea! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

50 hot ones await you for the shop.

Remember you can only win once unless I state something different.

I think you may owe a fellow Dog a big thanks <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Zima??


<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm drinking generic Tang.

I win. Or lose, depending how you look at it.

Wild Turkey "American Honey Bourbon"

Don't see it often so when I do I bought a couple of bottles.

Shoot, I heard that's good stuff. For me right now it's Jack Daniel's on the rocks.

I've actually started drinking lighter american beers (MGD, PBR and the like) after getting into heavier imports and craft beers (read expensive) its a change up

Depends on what you mix it with <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif" alt="" />

I thought normal Tang was generic <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Did I win Dan? - And if so - Thanks Ish!

Anyone drinking mad dog 2020 or boones farm...now thats bad

Boones! LMBO!

generic Tang? like Orange Drink

When I drink beer it's usually Miller High Life. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

MD 2020 is rough stuff <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Tom my Father In Law drinks MHL almost exclusively.

I'm surprised I can still see. surprising how resilient a young body is.

Boone's Farm and Annie Green Springs --- I haven't even thought about them for a LONNNNG time! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yep, just an orange flavored drink... and the only thing mixed in it is water.

Haha.

So true

My first beer was a Miller High Life. Snuck out of dad's fishing cooler and behind the shed. I didn't realize it was supposed to be cold. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

A girl I use to date drank this stuff call "Wood chuck". She said it was beer, but it tasted like spoiled cider to me.

I like Yuengling Light.

You didn't have an umbrella in your glass of bourbon outside JocknJills Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now, the key point is, does orange relate to the taste, or is that a description of color, like Purple Drink or Blue drink

You did

Been trying to find that here, no luck.

Wood Chuck is cider. lol some of its not too bad.

Hey Dan...any insight on the next release? I think I recall you were working up something interesting that you mentioned at the time of the Zashi release. Have you had enough drinks to cause a disclosure? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I've heard of it, but never tried it. (this is in reference to the beer mentioned above - not the Wood Chuck).

I did pick up a six pack of SA Octoberfest along with my twelve pack sampler tonight.

I used to really like Old Style. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I'll drink any beer but Coors.

Thats a pretty good beer

Awesome! Thanks Dan! and, Thanks Ish... (for the answer). <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Annie green springs wow that takes me back to the 8th grade not that I would have ever drank anything like that

It's tastes like sweet, sweet... sweetness. And it's bright orange.

It's what we have in the fridge at the moment.

SP what's wrong with Coors?

OMG...careful...you may get the perma-ban from Amy-O if she sneaks over here and sees this! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

I pity the guy who drinks Schlitz! (Horn Dog) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Tom - did you know they use to make Schlitz Ice? LOL!

My boys are watching "The Kid" with Bruce Willis and I keep running out to the living room when I hear him argue with that fat version of himself. Hysterical!

Not much on Coors Light, but I can drink pretty much any beer. Even bought some Milwalkees Best when I was broke once, we drunk it but haven't been that broke in years.

Annie green springs wow that takes me back to the 8th grade not that I would have ever drank anything like that [/quote]

I guess that means there were two of us perfect kids! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I like Coors Light. Not a Michelob fan though...and don't like Heineken or the other one in the green bottle.

I had my first PBR the other night, its kinda like beer flavored water, refreshing even

Any wine drinkers here. My wife's got me drinking wine more than I ever thought I would. Not quite a wine snob, I'm really not loyal to any particular type. As long as it's dry.

My brother-in-law brought STEEL RESERVE to a family gathering recently. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Becks- that's the other one I don't care for.

Haha, I drink Schlitz!

Sorry Amy!!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

No kidding...she likes her Coors. Did you ever see the hat she got from jerry made out of Coors beer can?

Thats a sure fire trip onto "The LIST"

A good cabernet sauvignon with a steak is my favorite! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My wife's family are big wine drinkers. I didn't drink it before her, but like it now.

In fact, we had a bottle of Pepperwood Pinot with dinner (steak) tonight.

I drink more than I should. Actually have a taste for Texas wines...do you ever make it over to Fredericksburg?

Wait, that's a typo. I LOVE Coors. I did see that hat, too funny.

I drink wine occasionally...I like reds mostly.

Not much of a wine drinker. My ex liked wine, so I tried. I really really tried. But I just can't get into it.

A little wine is good for you -- a lot is NOT! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" /> (experience) <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

We drink red exclusively. I think most people eventually "graduate" to dry reds.

Never been. Good wine there? My wife wants to go there to get some Circle E candles.

Anyone here collect anything other than knives? I've been collecting watches...I have about 50 so far. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, with a good meal I enjoy a nice red

Guns.

That's my preference.

Not WalMart? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

My problem is that I liked to drink a lot of the sweeter wine. It gave me the worst headaches I've ever had.

I haven't seen the hat....anyone with a pic?

I like full bodied, thick red wines.

Went to Porto, Portugal last year....killer Port wines.

That seems to be the only one I favor. Haven't had a white wine that I like yet. haven't tried many though.

Sons. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

(I have four so far, no daughters.)

Yeah me too but at a much slower pace- They are expensive. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> I'm awaiting my DSA Fal - should be here in a week or 2.

Come to think of it. Maybe it was the ex. Haven't had headaches like that in years....maybe I should try some more wine.

I have...a couple...DSA's. I've been happy with all of them.

Now THAT is an expensive collection! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I can't even stomach the sweet wines anymore....don't suit my palette.

I've got a few guns <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'm trying to decide what scope to put on my AR and what scope to get for the DSA...I think I like the ACOGs...but cant afford to put one of those on each gun. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

My wife's mother and step father have 'wine tasting parties'. We get to try expensive wines that we wouldn't pay for this way.

We typically like red wines in the $9 / bottle range the best. I guess we're "low brow".

I really like Paul Masson Very Cold Duck!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

What? the guns or the watches? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

paintball gear, just getting into real guns recently

I've had a few ACOG's (TA44, TA01NSN, etc). They're neat, but you won't get much eye relief with them.

Joe's collection of sons!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

I'm guessing the watches. I have one watch, and it cost $450. To me it's a helluva collection.

$450 watch? WHOA.

A mere pittance compared to the cost of kids! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It'd be more expensive if they were daughters! All those weddings! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Hard to find...but some folks make a good dry reisling that might work for ya. Also...start looking at local wineries (if you have some)...seems to be the trend to get blends going that are more dry, and don't have that fruity sweet sensation to them.

Personally, there's only two whites I can drink....pinot grigio from Grape Creek Wineries and one called a dirty girl from torre de pietra in Fredericksburg, Tx. Otherwise, it's the dark reds for me.

I like a really good chianti also...but man, they're hit / miss.

Sorry i got bumped off the net

Anyway, my oldest daughter does a walk every year to support a Disease...which disease is it and this has $25 shop credit tied to it

MS?

Breast Cancer

Cancer

Juv diabetes

I meant diabetes.

Dang it Todd! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

diabetes!

Hodgkins? Autism? Breast Cancer? Multiple Schlerosis?

True, kids cost a fortune on the black market. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Just what popped into my mind, being diabetic and all.

SP - what is "mustiple" schlerosis?

LOL

I lol'ed

I tried to remember on my own then I looked it up. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

I do not collect them but I have a few nice one's, Omni, Tag, Brightling and Movado. The Tag is my favorite...tough as nails

Speed costs spelling errors! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Ah, ya got me. Fixing it now.

Those are some nice watches Dan. I REALLY want a Brietling.

I wear a Citizens EcoDrive that someone gave me years ago. It apparently doesn't need batteries!

I still wear a Timex. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

I used to really want a Tag, but I tear up watches so often I just stay with Timex. I have a Citizen for dress, but I hardly ever wear it.

I want a Mudman for hiking... but I usually hate wearing watches. Anything on my wrist really. And I even make paracord bracelets! Just give them away though. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

\
My wife LOST her Tag! Timex from now on.

I haven't been bitten by the watch bug yet...I've never gained an eye for expensive things that I carry on my person (ie: jewelry); but now that I'm thinking about it...I guess i carry my pistol <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I never wear a watch

I just got my first Tourbillon watch. They are pretty sweet.

I'm rough on watches, so I don't feel the need for anything expensive. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That's what my mobile phone is for! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I'm with you Ish. Outside of my EDC blades and handgun the most expensive thing on me is a watch that someone gave me (second hand).

Very Good...another $25 awaits you

Theresa has now had diabetes for 4+ years and she is doing great although here being a teenage may be my death yet <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Since I carry a cell phone pretty much anywhere, it makes my watch redundant. I've almost quit wearing one, except when I dress up a little.

Y'all want a watch built like a Scrap Yard knife? Try Marathon. Mine's like a tank. County Comm carries them.

I took my Casio Pathfinder to the Rockies with me...it was awesome. Told me the altitude, temp, compass direction and everything i needed to know...including the time and date. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

My knife is my most expensive thing on me! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I think that this one fact influences the reduction in more watch sales than anything.

Me too!

So you can speel when your drinking...thnak god someone can LOl

Sure it's not your tattoo? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Dan, I haven't seen your kids since Blade 07. You should bring them to the next one! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Haha! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> I'm a good speeler.

My cell and my EDC knife are close in price actually

Speaking of which...who all here has been "Inked"?

Oh that was good

Same! Although I think my wedding band may have cost a bit more. Hmmm...

My cell is "free" from my office, but the actual cost is always having to take their calls!

I've looked at the Marathon watches. You may have talked me into one. If they're that solid, maybe I could keep from breaking it.

We can't have cell phones at work. They gotta be intrinsicly safe. So I wear a watch.

No, it's my knife alright. However, the tattoo DOES represent my biggest expenitures other than my house! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

No Ink.
Most Expensive Thing = Glock or combined total in blades (three on me as I type)
Wedding Band = Sam's Club @ $56. My wife loved it.
Watch = Free.

I save my cash for guns, ammo, and blades!

And TRUE!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I wear watches cause I like them - not just to tell the time...My truck and home and office all have clocks in them and so does the cell phone. I like the looks and the technology that goes into them.

Mine's a beast, I love it!

Is it dress watch or for action

Thanks Dan!

My grandfather wore a Rolex. I thought it was the most awesome thing when I was a kid.

Nice! I like where your priorities are!

I think people worry too much about the cost of a gun....and they never spend enough on Ammo so they can actually get good at using their new tool. /rant off

More for dress.

I'm always dressed for action! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

+1 Ish!

LOL...I guess i'm screwed then. Sitting here in my undies, laying in some bed at the base of the Alps! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

Uhm, too much visual. Do Not Want.

I keep a little supply of ammo on hand. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I did laugh when I read that, but I'm not laughing AT you Tom... you're the man! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

dressed for another type of action

Tom - I bet you do <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I do the opposite for action.

Yeah, we don't need to know you're at the base of the Alps. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Ok...sorry for the visual...let's move this along <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Ah, ya beat me to it!

Ish - I'm sitting here with a towel wrapped around me -- I took a shower just before getting on the computer! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I know, TMI. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

No one ever allowed to say "undies" on this forum again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />

This is turning into a regular sausage fest.


PASS THE BRAIN BLEACH!

Ok. Tom topped it. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

second

Banana hammock anyone?

I had the opportuntiy to meet a high ranking official in the Israeli army. he said he could tell the character of man by the watch he wore and the pen he carried. ever since, I made sure I had both...strange I know

Im in my Whinnie the Pooh one-zie. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'll kill you.

This is getting bad! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

G-String Leopard Print....what are you people doing to me?

Better than a backwards thong!

GREATEST response EVER!

TOM!!!

You guys are cracking me up.

For you Floridians...if you ever want to get some ink, I recommend you touch base with "Miss Heidi" in Orlando. She's a true artist, and is great at black/gray shading.

I'm holding you partially responsible... naked guy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

True, A lot of collectors say you can tell a lot about someone by the watch they wear...I must be like 50 different people then cause I always wear a different one of my 50 or so depending on my mood/attire. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Just as long as nobody posts a picture like Wolf does over in the Swamp!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

+100000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

NO PICS!!!!!

I think everyone here remembers this is a family forum... of course they've all been drinking.

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I'm not sure what bothers me more....nekkid pictures of his folder obsession.

I'm not naked --- I'm wearing a towel!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We need more women in the Yard. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

or a woman. lol

TYPE O

OR his folder obsession.

I dont wear a watch... wonder what that says about me? probably explains why I'm late though...

I go along with THAT!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Agreed, this is the one instance where PICS or it didn't happen doesn't apply

Not helping your case, brother!

No Jared, THAT was the best response ever!

Oh well! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Did we lose Dan?

Any news on the next release? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Just a little hint? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I was hoping to move closer to JYD status tonight, but I'm not sure the mental scaring is worth it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/loopy.gif" alt="" />

I already need a brain scrub from the visuals I ALREADY have. Please, for the love of God, NO PICS!

I think the question about the next release scared off Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Are they still working on the design contest knives? Or was that scrapped?

Oh no! I can delete! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I was interested to see Eric at the Swamp mention "releaseS". Could be something else coming out over there?

Nobody said that life is always easy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Oh, I got pics. Here comes the moose knuckle.

No Tom, it was you talking about the towel. That's only one little "oops" from full blown nekkid, and we don't want that!

yup...

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

S/P - it will always be tough to beat your avatar pic! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

No Pain, No Gain!

LOL

I'm not sure I even know what's going on at this point.

its taken a strange turn

nekkid moose nuckles and Tom in a towel.

Yep. Weird turn.

Thanks, Tom. I like it.

Not to worry --- we don't have a web-cam! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Anyone know if they are still working on the design contest knives? Or was that scrapped?

My new sig line!

I feel oddly at fault...

Anyone have plans to use their choppers this weekend? Spending time outdoors at all?

KS - no clue bro.

K/S - I never received an answer to my question about that. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

Ok NOW, I think "I am going to check out now" fist one to say "good night" wins a $25 shop credit

Before I leave, and I encourage you to stay and finish your drinks and finish yur conversation...as strange as they are LOL....

Anyone who can tell me what my first company name was going to be...prior to me finalizing on Scrapyard I have a $100 shop credit, everyone can play even those who picked up a shop credit earlier this evening. This is a tough one. Hint, the name appeared on a one of a kind prototype.

Also, I have another $25 shop credit for anyone who has not won yet, if they can tell me who the current owner of the very first Battle Mistress that my brother made out of INFI

Going camping week after next. I'll be using a variety of ScrapYard offerings!

I've been wondering the same for a long time, KS.

Let me be the first to wipe my brow and say "Thank God!" <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Maybe no one came up with a winner. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Jerry did say that the BOSS JAck was the first winner of that contest

good night

good night

Night Dan!

Night Dan! Thanks for the Sip-N-Talk. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Yes, it has been a pretty good night! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Hello?

Good nite, fellas.

Good night SP.

Good night and spend the $25 shop credit wisely..congrats

I'm still here for a bit.

NIght SP

Dan - I think that YOU have the first Battle Mistress! Also, "Dan the Hack" Knives? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Good night SP.

Did I win?

The answer is 42.

I guess I'm buzzin, I thought everyone else was bouncing outta here. I'm still here. Hmmm...maybe everyone's cutting me off.

Sharpened Pry Bar Co?

C....always guess C

Correct on the Battle Mistress, enjoy the $25 shop credit. A great guess on Dan The Hack ...but no <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Sp- you said good night fellas and I assumed you were taking off. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Sry.

No S/P - only the "lightweights" left! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

SP, thought you were saying goodnight earlier

Dog Pound Knives

You did
Congrats and have a great night

we need to seem some JYD's don't we?

AWESOME! Thanks Dan <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bowdown.gif" alt="" />

huh?

Congrats Archi!

Thanks!

Anyone got any good jokes?

Yes, congrats to Arch and all those that won a credit tonight...now, what are you going to spend it on? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

Thanks Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> BusseDog?

I'm out too, guys. Y'all have a great evening! Thanks again Dan!

Not even close LOL

Thanks everyone for a fun evening. I'll check tomorrow to see if anyone can find the orginal name that I was going to use...if not I will post it for future reference <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Dan

Dumpster Knife Co?

G'nite, Todd.

Later Todd.

I need a Dogfather sheath....and I see Kydex in the Store!

'night Dan.

Nite, Dan. Thanks again!

mean to say new JYD's... things have been slow. not many runs lately.

Well, I guess I'm going to go finish watching college football. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" /> Later Dawgs!
This was a fun sip-n-talk.

'night KnotSlip

Good night Dan, and thanks again! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

DanPat Knife Co.? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I've tried making a run, but things always come up.

Guess I'm the turtle, slowly but surely.

You're really getting close S/P! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

This was my first Sip & Talk, and it was very cool. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Of course I'm serious, and don't call me Shirly!

Sorry...

Congrats on the win Gary --- I got one too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I feel like I'm on here A LOT, but read more than I post. I need to get more involved because I want to make JYD before I make Sr. Citizen.

Congrats Tom! That was very cool of Dan! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We watched Airplane" again just a couple of nights ago! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Classic comedy. They don't make them like that anymore.

Where else are you going to learn to Jive Talk?

That and Blazing Saddles are my favorite movies. "Somebody go back and get a $hi# load of dimes!"

Sure is! You should have seen how shop credits were given away as prizes outside Jock and Jills at Blade! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> ColdOne scored about $800.00 worth! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

yup you are pretty close SP. the DC looks slow but I'm sure there's more outlets than let on. let it be known you are ready to condor it and I'm sure the dogs will come.

Hey Dan, was it "Daniel Wayne"

or Daniel Wayne Knives

Mel Brooks's films are some of our favorites, and we have several. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

$800 in credit!!!!!!!! That's freaking AWESOME

May The Schwartz Be With You!

The only way I know how to communicate is through movie quotes, like my sig line.

I can see your schwartz is as big as mine!

They Live is a great movie SP.

ColdOne can get VERY competitive! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> I was happy to see him do so well, considering what it cost to fly him and his wife to Atlanta! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, that was pretty awesome that he won so much

Now THAT'S a classic!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I'd like to attend Blade at least once. Heck, I just like to meet the Busse crew anywhere I can.

I think Blade is a must, at least once

Yeah, I love it. I would've put They Live in my sig line, but it wouldn't fit.

Gary - I forgot; where do you live? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" />

Evansville, IN.

Its the SW most portion of the state.

That's for sure Jared! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Let's go to LUDICROUS SPEED!

Adding a can of Liquid Schwartz will do that! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Major props if anyone can identify these obscure movie lines:

* Sit on this butt plug!

* Mike, hit the blower - NOW WE'RE TALKING HYPER SPEED!

* Radar Her!

Nope...

Jared, your search fu is better than mine. Took me a bit longer. I think Daniel Wayne is the winner.

I'll go with "Daniel Wayne Blades", but think you've got it nailed.

For reference: http://199.231.142.3/forums/showthread.php?t=350026

A couple more from the same movie....

* Point the gizmo at the greenry, and bam-mo"

* What, I got boogers?

I gotta make Blade at least one year. I have put the bug in my wife's ear. Y'all will love her, she's always the life of the party.

Gary, I guess the closest show for you would be the Knob Creek thing. You really need to get to Blade at least once! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Thats the thread I found <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Men in black?

Ahhh heck...I'll try: "Wayne Knives"

Growing up I lived for gun shows, but now that I'm older and have started collecting / using good knives....I have to attend Blade.

I'll try....

Hack Knives.

Yeah, we have a lot of gun shows here in the Houston area. Still love em.

Spider Pig....

"My Science Project"

This is the thread I first found...posted by Gravelface: http://www.scrapyardknives.com/ubbthread...true#Post148422

I live 3.5 hours from the Indianapolis 1500 Gun Show and 1.75 hours from the Louisville KY "Show of Shows".

These were staples of my childhood, and "younger days" but gun shows don't have much appeal to me anymore.

Man, haven't seen that one since I was a kid.

I do remember hearing Will Smith saying "what, I got a boogie?" in something.

Good one!

WOW!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Looks like Jared hit the Company name right in the bulls-eye! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

FYI for everyone...this whole thread is a really good read. Talks about some legendary items <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I'm an 80's film buff. I miss "Up All Night" on USA with Rhonda Shear.

Those B-Grade films were the stuff of legend.

Yeah, just skimmed that, the pic is awesome

<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Very cool pic.

Evening guys

Hey Jeff

Well guys, it looks like this is winding down so I'm going to turn in.

'night men.

Good evening Jeff.

ok..i'm out. g'night fellas! thx for the sip'n'talk, and for passing out so much love (credits) to the yard, Dan!!

Later Ishi

Ditto,

Good night guys, and Dan thanks for the awesome shop credit!

night Arch

Wow didnot mean to run you all off. Have a good night.

LoL, its been slowing down

To those who are retiring for the evening I say "good night"! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I'm enjoying this! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I always enjoy sip and talks

Anybody know this one?

"I know you gentlemen have been through a lot, but when you find the time, I'd rather not spend the rest of this winter TIED TO THIS EFFING COUCH!"

Hi Jeff - time for round #2! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The Thing

saw that movie recently

Guess it was an easy one. Good job, I'll try again.

I really hated missing the sip n talk tonight. I have not had a day with my wife in over a month so we went and did some things today. I got to say the new Wall Street is a great movie. I really enjoyed it.

Another easy one.

"It's just a sleepover Rod, Tina and me. Glenn was just leaving."

That must have been the remake! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Congrats to all the guys that got a shop credit.

Gotta check it out.

Yeah Wall Street, Money Never Stops.

It has been a fun Sip and Talk for sure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, John Carpenter's from the early 80's.

I must say maybe, really a maybe, might be my favorite Oliver Stone movie thus far.

It wasn't the silly original black and white with the plant man.

The REAL "the Thing" was a young James Arness! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I really like the 1987 make of Wall Street, may look at it again and go see the new one just for fun.

Yeah, the plant man.

I went and saw Devil the other day, pretty good movie

I liked it, I was guessing til the end.

I thought they did a good job with it, pretty intense and fast moving enough that it didn't lose the viewer

What was Devil about? I am a little slow tonight LOL.

Anybody here see Paranormal Activity? It's the only movie to keep me up at night since childhood.

Bunch of people trapped in an elevator, they get killed one at a time by someone in the elevator, very locked room mystery with a supernatural twist

A group of people stuck in an elevator, and they begin dying one by one. One of them may be the devil.

On Paranormal Activity, I thought it more of a dark comedy. Horror flicks make me laugh a lot of times. The only movie to really mess with me was Red Dawn followed by The Day After--eatced back to back. Then the Sixth Sense.

Ya beat me Jared.

Yeah, that was another good one, the end, ohhhhh, even knowing it was all fake footage, still creeps you out

Will have to check that one out.

I find that I hear things at night that I didn't hear before.

No takers, A Nightmare on Elm Street.

anyone see "The last exorcism"

The Last Exorcism looks like a good one.

Yeah, pretty good. I was a little confused at the end. Kind of ended up like Rosemary's Baby.

it was pretty good, fake documentary style,

Lol, thats what I thought

alright guys, I'm gonna turn in, catch you all tomorrow

Later, Jared.

Night Jared.

I'm going to see "The Exorcist" on the 30th. A limited release of the director's cut nation wide. One night only.

I think the girl that played in "The Exorcism of Emily Rose" should have won an award.

SP, that viewing sounds great. We will be doing a little league tournament that weekend for a fund raiser. Way too much football stuff and fund raisers. I would love to hit the movies every week.

I thought the original "Exorcist" was pretty good. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Have you seen Hurt Locker? I have it on right now, pretty good. I have been told by a couple guys that it is about as close as it gets.

Yeah, we don't go as much as we used to, and I'm sure once my son begins playing sports things will change for us.

Klink, you are right about the original Exorcist.

What is it about? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

EOD in Iraq.

Sounds interesting - like dodging booby-traps in VietNam. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif" alt="" />

I have, it's very good. I can't remember the main character's name, but I don't find his wrecklessness very realistic. Today's military wouldn't allow it. I did like it though.

Got to let the dogs out! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

I'm speaking of the original. In theaters on the 30th.

Not fun at all. The reality stuff is what gets me more than the supernatural.

Depends on the situation I guess.

Who let the dogs out, woof, woof <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I would love to see the original in the theater.

Maybe so. I know it wouldn't fly in my unit.

Talking of movies, when does the zombie movie start, the ones with the Scizzy?

He acted like he was a one man show, and that rubbed me the wrong way. I really did like the movie, though.

I think it's a series. On FX maybe? I think it will be soon.

Another segway, I'm real close to ordering a Scizzy. It's up to you guys to push me over the edge.

I normally don't do a series but this is one that I might. Speaking of a series, I watched the first episode of the Board Walk on HBO. Looks like another winner from them.

Hmmm, help ya............here ya go.

HBO has some good ones. Deadwood is still my fave.

I caught Board Walk, it's a good one.

That's a great pic, think I seen it before. Now I have to get a Scizzy AND a Wiener dog.

S/P - you have GOT to get a Scizzy!!! Otherwise, what will you do when the Zombies attack?!!!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

Hopefully I'll be drunk as hell and they'll think I'm just of them.

Jeff - I sent a copy of my pic with the Gunny to my brother -- he thought it was great! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I think I'm gonna go for 900 2nite.

S/P - I look and move like an old Zombie in the morning! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

Well I got the Scizzy,a Waki, a DFLE and B11 that Vic did a beautiful job on, a M0LE, a few other large blades, and a couple hawks that should do pretty good when all the 7.62x51mm, 12 ga, 45 acp and 45 colt runs out.

I've met several celebrities, and the only time I've ever been starstruck is when I met R. Lee Ermey.

Go for it -- we'll help you! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I feel like it a lot of the time.......maybe they will hit after an OU home football game and I will literally be one of them.

Getting to meet the Gunny was a good thing. He is taller in real life than I thought.

The Gunny was really cool. Of course, he is quite familiar with my Unit in VietNam. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

20 to go on that post, should be less now. Go for it!

S/P can do it easy! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

My whole family is from OK. They're all OU fans and I'm the only OSU fan. My brother always gets mad when the undefeated Sooners get beat by the Cowboys with a losing season. He says "why do they have to do that, if the Cowboys win another game they still have a losing season and now the Sooners are no longer undefeated." It makes me laugh.

I have a few things loaded up for the range tomorrow. A M1A, a FAL, a new 1911, a SAA, my bro is taking a 2 1/2" K frame, and not sure what other firearms. Also taking the M9LE, the DFLE and the B11 in hopes to do a little comparison.

I agree, he's very tall.

It is funny to see the rivalry. I thought OU was going to loose it tonight. Today was the first OU game I have seen this season even though I have been at the 3 home games working a concession stand for our wrestling team.

SP, what areas are your family from? Are they Bussekin people?

I gotta git more guns, mine are all hunting rifles. Shoot, I got a .300 H&H Mag!

I had not noticed that I was standing next to Ermey at a table during the A.G. Russell show, but as soon as he spoke I recognized him. He has a very distinctive voice. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I want a H&H for some reason...............don't know why just do.

My mother was born in Tulsa and my father was born in Atwood. Don't know where Atwood is. I would say they were Schrade people.

Yes he does.

For hunting North America's big bears and African hunting! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I met him where I least expected to. At an exotic car show in Hawaii. His booth had the longest line. I was a speechless idiot.

Yep, kinda know one aea better than the other. Been through the smaller one. Schrade, we need to fix that...............my dad likes Moore from Matador TX.

I would have liked to talk with him more but there was a long line of folks waiting, and getting longer by the minute! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" />

That would be great but I doubt the paper and tin cans need something like that..........now if I were in SE OK looking for Big Foot then that is one of the choices I would have with me.

Mine is an old Remington chambered in .300 H&H. It has this old fold over scope so you can use the open sights.

At the AG Russell show I did not know what the lines were for, but that it was a SOG booth. Needless to say after I found out I wanted in.

I only fired a .300 magnum one time, but it is quite a round! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Sounds like a great rig. Have you hunted with it?

Yes, I was using the open sights for hog hunting. It's a hand me down from a hand me down.

Might be a little too much on jackrabbits! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

That should knock a hog off its feet! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />

We have some big jacks out in western OK, and that border is shared with TX. Would like to see that in action.

OK, to the Hurt Locker deal..................I see where you are coming from. I had not got into it deep enough.

That's big enough for a kangaroo sized jackrabbit! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Think Ian over at the Swamp could use one on a crazed roo.

Ha, I once was plinking with a friend on mine's .270. I saw a ground squirrel on a log about 200 yards away. My buddy said the rifle had not been fired in 20 years. So I put the cross hairs on the squirrel's head and fired, just to see how close I got. The squirrel had disappeared, figured I had missed. I walked to the log and there was the squirrel, headless. That man's grandfather sure could sight in a rifle. Same guy that gave me the H&H.

Pretty good testamonial on sighting! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

That is nuts dead on accuracy. Got to love it.

I was fresh out of the service. I was a rifle expert by Marine Corps standards, but I didn't know how to use a scope, still don't. I was amazed!

Sounds like you're doing pretty good! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Shooting expert without glass does make it a lot easier when there is glass added. That is some shooting.

Many years ago I laughed at guys who needed scopes; I'm not laughing anymore! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/banghead.gif" alt="" />

Here's one I shouldn't share. I was a helicopter crew chief in the service. An arial gunnery instructor. I was training in Yuma, AZ. We were flying along the range shooting at stationary targets, then my pilot calls out "troops in the open at 2 o'clock". That just means firing in a sweeping motion with the XM-218 .50 cal machine gun. So I did, then I saw some wild burrows, and I shot one to pieces. I couldn't stop my self. It was just pink mist. My only military casualty.

Too bad for the burros! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> The .50 is a bad dude for sure! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

You can adjust the buffer to fire as fast as you want. My barrel was always glowing.

oh that is just bad <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Live action practice! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

It's true, it was about 12 years ago and it still bothers me a little. It's my "nam" story. Guess I was fortunate.

.50 cal goodness at its worst.

Hey Yote

At least it wasn't people! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

Gentle souls, I bid you farewell this fine evening. It was a pleasure to pass the time with you, wish I had more but alas I need some sleep. For tomorrow, things of paper, tin, and wood will meet it's maker. You all have fun, ya hear!

Oh, man! I forgot, how you doin, yote?

Good night Jeff -- have a great time tomorrow! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Nite, sumo.

Saying that I got to stay here to see SP get his goal of 900 for the evening. I aint a quitter!

Good idea! Come on S/P! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I appreciate the help, Jeff. And to the rest of the yard, as well.

SP, in Rob Schnider tone...............You can do it!

I guess we can all get carried away.
I know I have

All night long...

pretty good yourself

Anything is possible. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Thinking back there have been a few things that have met their demise due to me expediating them. But [censored], those prairie dogs are a nuisance, pigs are too, and jack rabbits are meant to be moving targets.

That was exactly the case. I also mowed down a Seguaro cactus that night. I was in a particular destructive mood that night.

All night long song will be stuck in my head now, thanks!

So are possums, racoons, and armadillos! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

I agree. Ground squirrels are a nuissance out west, but I also had a couple of burros as pets with my horses.

Thems too, and snakes, rats, gar and carp.

As Mr. Miyagi would say "welcome".

2 more bro. You got it.

900, Woohoo!

I remember years ago that Gravelface (JYD #2) was surprised that I shot snakes with my pistol! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Did ya make it yet? Did ya, huh, did ya!

What else would you shoot them with?

Congrats S/P!!! How about JYD tomorrow?!!? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Congrats. Now, just 100 to go..................then you can move up to the big porch LOL.
Then the rest fly by.

A lot of folks need shotguns. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif" alt="" />

Why did that surprise him? When I was a kid we used rocks, shovels and rarely a gun. I had an pump-up crossman pistol that did the job very well too.

Probably on Tuesday, it's my first off day from work, Shouldn't have done this tonight since I have to get up in 3 hours.

See my previous post. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

I am glad the pigs haven't invaded BC yet.
But a small part of me goes "Oh ya I want to bring home the WILD bacon"

Tuesday then, I will try to make it here for your run.
On that note, I'm outta here. Power nap for SP, a little longer power nap for me.
Night guys.

S/P - go get some rest! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Good night Jeff - sleep well Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

way to go

Okay, gents. I'm outta here, gonna get some rack time. Thaks for the help. G'nite.

We will try to get S/P to JYD on Tuesday! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

goodnight sir

Good night S/P! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />

Maybe before, we'll see...

Nite, y'all!

Nite' Bro! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Well, looks like everyone is gone so I guess I will call it a night! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

goodnight Klink
take care

You too Brother! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Very Good

Enjoy the $100 shop credit

Dan

Octo-yeah!!! Sweet, thanks Dan!

Congrats Jared -- way to go Brother!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

I sure had a good time last night sip'n and talking with you guys. When do you want to do the next one...maybe while Knob Creek is going on in a couple of weeks?

What do ya think? Sooner ---later???

Dan

I would be down for the weekend of Knob creek, I had a blast as well, it's always fun sipping and talkin with you guys

Yeah, last night was a blast. Man, I'm tired, I'm lacking sleep.

KC weekend sounds great.

Looks like I miss quite a good time last night. I haven't had a chance to go back and catchup on it all yet.

I tried to get on but had no connection where I was.

I hope that I can make the next.
I did however have a great night with my son. We had some fun male bonding right up till he passed out on the couch.
Congrats to all the dogs that won a shop credit.

Darn it!I spent the afternoon & eve. doing a brake job on my roommates car.I can't work on cars at my apt.,so we went to a friends house to do it.My roommate made meatloaf & I did the brakes.Replaced the front calipers & pads then couldn't get the drivers side to bleed.Finally determined that the caliper is bad.Must be a plugged port.Fluid in,no fluid out. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />Now the auto parts store doesn't have a replacement,they are on order. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Anyhow,sorry I missed it,looks like you dogs had a good one.Congrats to the shop credit winners. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />
Dan really brought it this time huh. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Did I mention I hate working on cars!!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sad.gif" alt="" />
My first real job was a ground support equipment mechanic in the Marine Corps right after HS.
This brake job should have been a breeze,but it turned into a nightmare.

So next sip n talk is KC weekend,cool beans.
See ya there. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

The Sip & Talk was awesome!

I hope to make it to Knob Creek, but not for guns...just for BLADES! I need to find out when and where I can find the SY steel!

Hanging with your son trumps all other things...good for you

We will catch you on the next one

Dan

By the way, I saw some of the stuff Garth is planning to bring to the show...very nice indeed. He might even have a little Scrap. I would just plan on getting there early or possibly meet him the night before at the hotel.

Dan

Dan,

Thanks for the info!

Anyone know how I'd go about arranging to meet with Garth the night before?

My grandparents used to live on Crystal River, and I have many fond memories of that river. My favorite spot was the spring thats up one of the canals, that you can only get to by kayak. The Three Sisters? Manatees are the [censored].
