BTW, Eugene - in all fairness, haven't the progunners been using
this particular thread to rhapsodize about calibration. penetration,
ballistics and stopping power, all the while snidely and
surreptitiously snickering like little boys masturbating in the dark?
It doesn't take the brains necessary to operate a siphon hose to
realize that this thread is being employed by the magnum tonguers
to run the ol' end-around on the gun discussion ban, all the while
figuring that their Good Friend Gene won't call them on it. Be
better than that. Other people have most forcefully expressed their
supreme confidence in your competence, impartiality and integrity
to me; please prove them right.
