Between those two strong points, I think this show will really need me in it as a counterbalance

Thank You gentlemen.

I was just pointing out that my part would be talking about something I know about and having no sex appeal.  I think I can handle that (especially the latter).  I am warning you though: if Ted asks whether the camera is making his posterior look big, I am walking .

I do not mean to be difficult, but if there is a thong on the set, regardless of whether Ted or Mark is wearing it, I am walking.  I lived near West Hollywood for three years.  There is a reason I moved.

I am wondering why we did not go straight to Leupold owners wearing thongs several pages ago...

Hey, I do want to keep this a family friendly show...

...however, I see nothing wrong with oiling up and putting on some of those leather chaps with the @ss cut out and taking a few tasteful photoshoots for the show promo!  You know, sell sex just enough to lure the viewer in so they see there really is some substance to the show, not just beefcake!  I do have an introspective, thought-provoking side to me, underneath this ruggedly handsome exterior!

 

Ilya, we welcome you to the show.  But first, what brand of nipple cream do you prefer?

Apparently I moved away from West Hollywood in time, since before today I was blissfully unaware of such a thing as nipple cream.

I have a very good and vivid imagination, this is well. It's not sitting well.

Now back on track. I really think that Leupold can stand up to the heat of scrutiny, they make some great products that hold up quite well.  That is not to say that other competitors dont also make good products because competition to make better products benefits  the end user as there is always room for improvement. I just wonder when we are going to see digital come to rifle optics like it has to photo and video. I have seen a photo of an elite chinese military unit with helment mounted view monitor and a digital weapon mounted camera which would be really handy to hold the rifle around the corner and shoot accurately while remaining conclealed. When I look at the zoom ability and low light ability of a video camera - I am amazed at what it can do and they dont cost that much. I have to wonder why riflescopes are still in the previous generation of technology.

Big Squeeze,

The reason for the 8 shots on the Barbary ram, and a few other missed shots on the same hunt, were due to a shot out barrel and an ill-fitting stock. To make a long story short, this is an inherited rifle and it was my first hunt using it.  Not all 8 shots missed, otherwise it would still be running!!! Yes, I did shoot it in before the hunt and got so-so groupings. Sentiment got the better of me and I used the rifle anyway. Since that day I have only spent money on it. New barrel, new stock and I am still waiting for a new trigger.

Or maybe it was the Leupold scope on top.......?????

Right now I am still struggling to get 200gr Nossler Part to stabilise. I am about to give up. (I am posting this problem under Reloading).

 

Where do I place an order for the sticker, Razerface?
