Who lives around here?

[Forty Rod]

How many of you folks live within an hour of Ontario, California?

Just curious.

[Free Hand]

Howdy neighbor, by So Cal standards anyway. I live a couple of minutes off the ol' 91 near Pierce St. a few blocks form the La Sierra University. Lived in this neck of the woods (Riverside that is) for twenty-five years, and have worked a Pearce Brother's Crestlawn Memorial Park for twenty-three. Shot my first gun (a winchester '92, in 25-20) at the age of five. Been intrested in fire arms ever since, although I'm just getting started in BP; am totaly new to chat room style comunications. You'll see my blunders all over Cas City. I'm proud of my military time in the Seabees ('60 - '66) where we did a lot of good, here and there, and (being right out of high School) learned a ton about the REAL world.

Have you been 'round here for long?

Been in California since '74 and in this house since '77.  Been shooting since gunpowder was invented...well, almost.  Been a cowboy since cows were invented...well, almost.

Sent you a private message.

Most likely was a warnin' about me, go ahead Forty Rod you can say it in public, the sheepherder always does.

[Forty Rod]

I don't have to warn folks about you after tonight, Del.  You're the lead story on the premier of The Worlds Wierdest Cosies, 9 o'clock eastern and central, 3:15 Mountain, and whenever California time.

Geraldo Rivera and Rosie O'Donnell are co-hosing.  Sorry, that's co-HOSTING!!!

[Delmonico]

I don't care as long as they pay me well.

Del, My memory is 'bout sitxy-five years old, and somewhere it picked up a quote that says "The guilty mans flees when no one pursues".   

[Delmonico]

I fergot and since yer new here, just 'member when the poop hits the fan and things go bad:

It's All Slim's Fault

[Forty Rod]

Yeah, it's all Slim's fault.

[Trinity]

Just what I was going to say.


It's All Slim's Fault

[Trinity]

I feel sorry for my poor cantankerous old coot of a brother.  He is so lonely out there in weirdo-land (AKA California) that he has to advertise for new friends.

[Forty Rod]

"Step into my parlor" said the spider to the fly.

[Delmonico]

Maybe he could put an ad in the Personals, "Strange man with stranger litl' brother wants to meet strange man with stranger litl' brother."

Object: a fair trade.

Del;
Okay, it is hereby duly noted and reccorded; when the ferilizer is lobed into the portable air conditioning unit, it is required that the responsibility be assigned to the ectomorphic gentleman who is suffently generous to permit various and sundry miscreants to select him as their personal scapegoat.

Trinity,
Can a man have too many friends? There is a Swedish saying: A trouble shared is a trouble halved, but a joy shared is a joy doubled, As for living in So Cal- well every place has it's advantages; just think of the money one would save on heating and cloths if one were residing in the plce of eternal chastisment.

Slim's Fault
You see he is the moderator of this forum, so he is responsible for what happens.

If you go to Cosie's Corner, nuthin' there is ever blamed on Slim, in fact nuthin' ever goes wrong up there.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

What can go wrong with good food???

[Delmonico]

What about a food fight in the forum, it would be a mess, might even get out of Cosies Corner and into the Darksiders Den.  Now what would Cuts and
tom think if they checked and they had bread dough or pie fillin' all over their forum.

[Lucky Irish Tom]

We'd start a thread about whether or not it would make good filler to lighten Black Powder loads of course!

Or a thread on the Adventures of Baking With Black Powder!  (that would account for the dough and pie filling being everywhere) 

[Delmonico]

Thats why I don't keep black powder and black pepper in the same cupboard, a mistake could be bad.
