    In order to protect our members and TFL from possible litigation, all members must abide by the following new rules:

    1. Copying and pasting entire articles from another site to TFL is strictly prohibited. The same applies to articles from print or other media, and to posting photographs taken of copyrighted pages or other media.

    2. Copyright law provides for “fair use” of portions of a copyrighted work. You can copy no more than a SINGLE paragraph from the article to your post (3 or 4 sentences at most).

    3. You must provide a link to the article along with the name of website. For example: ww.xxx.yyy/zzz (The Lower Thumbsuck Daily News).

    4. You must provide, in your own words, a brief summary of the article AND your reasons for believing it will be of interest to TFL members. Failure to do so may result in the thread being closed or your post being deleted as a “cut and paste drive by.”

    5. Photographs and other images are also copyrighted. "Hotlinking" of images (so that it appears in your message) from other sites is also prohibited unless you own rights to the image. If you wish to share an image, provide a clickable link to it.

    Posts that do not follow these new guidelines will be altered or deleted by staff. Members who continue to violate this policy may lose their posting privileges at TFL.

    Thank you for your cooperation and your participation in TFL, the leading online forum for firearms enthusiasts.

Let me in the Staff Lounge, dangit!

You'ens are too much. Dennis, were you in drama in high school? You've got excessive pent up dramatic flair, my man - like BluesMan said, don't get a life - you're more entertaining than 99% of TV and the net.

"When DC ain't happy, ain't nobody happy." - LMBO. Somebody do those dishes. I would, but I can't get in, you see...I'll just stay out here and mow the lawn, weed-eat, pick up the doggie doo - dishes is woman's work anyhow. Ouch, the retaliation on that one's gonna hurt.

Rich, us civilian TFLers are onto ya', man. I can see from these posts that there's nuttin but carousing goin on in there OR out here. :D
 
Actually, we had to come out here to blow off steam! We are so formal and regimented in the Staff Forum that it becomes overbearing. Debating the long-term effects of our decisions as we guide TFL into the new millenium is really difficult and controversial labor! There are many extremely important TFL issues which TFL management must address to determine where we intend to go and what we intend to do.

The pressure continues to build. Some members want sea food, others steak, and some low-lifes want plain old hamburgers. I prefer pizza but was voted down because it's "finger food". I tell ya. Life ain't easy at the top of the mountain. ;)
 
Dennis! Quit leaving the lounge with the remote to the HDTV. Leona said you would hog it and she was right! Who are you talking to out there anyway?

BTW, I am, at this very instant enjoying a (drum roll) .... Shiner Bock.

I followed the link you gave the other day and found a local distributor. Though it pains me, I do have to say it's very good and smooth. It is similar to Sam Adams ale on draft and that's very good. Sam in bottles, while not bad, unfortunatly doesn't compare. So thanks for the tip.

(tip? Tip? He's been beating it over our heads for months!)
 
Mal,

In reality (or at least MY version of it ;) ), I'm not much of a beer snob. I truly like *most* beers.

Shiner Bock is not like the real German bock beers - they are very dark, thick, almost sweet, deceptively potent, and (so far as I know) only on draft. Shiner Bock (to me) tastes like the local German Hells Bier (light beer) which I consumed in remarkably irresponsible quantities for many years.

I hope you enjoy the Shiner Bock. As you can see on their website, they make several different beers.

At my (now) son-in-law's bachelor party they had a keg of Shiner blond. It tasted mild. I chatted with the old timers there by the keg. Leona drove home (some 80-90 miles) in about five minutes as far as I could tell. That Shiner blond sneaked up on me and knocked me out -- er, that is, it made me very sleepy (ahem). Smooth stuff those Shiner beers....

Check for the remote between or under the couch cushions. That's where the danged thing always seems to end up. Might even find a quarter there!

All,

By the way, I had hoped to arrange a TFL get-together in Shiner. After a day of shooting and playing "First liar doesn't stand a chance!" I had hoped we could take a tour of the Spoetzl Brewery.

Bad news. There are no ranges anywhere in the Shiner area. Folks hunt and practice on private land and a group of TFLer shooters (some with full-auto weapons) probably would send the entire community of Shiner into some kind of a spasm!

Perhaps if we could guarantee a large number of attendees (whatever *that* might mean!) we could get the back of the local big wigs, but I doubt that would be much of an option.
-----

Glad you enjoyed the Shiner Bock. Remember now,
If you have a friend, give him a Shiner! :)
 
A picnic! ...

Wait ... what was that about fifty bucks? FIFTY BUCKS?

I'm going back to "Handloading and Reloading". Fifty bucks, ... let's see that's almost enough for 500 Ranier 200 gr plated Trunc Cones ....
 
Dennis:
I am amazed at your writing ability, my eyes are wet and my side hurts from laughing so hard. Sir, if you do not earn your living as as a writer.....you could easily!
Thank you for your above post's, they were simply GREAT. :D :D :D

Mal H:
Not only did I read "Metal and Wood", I also copied it to the "2nd Ammendment" file in my hard drive. That is certainly a beautiful piece of work. I hope Dennis does not mind if I send a copy of "Metal and Wood" to my Son who is away in college.
All of you guys are doing a great job...my hat's off to you all. Thank you again.
Regards
Jim

DorGunR,

Thanks for the kind words. I only type what "the voices" tell me! :D
To "make a living" at much of anything would be a remarkable change! LOL!

As for Metal and Wood, all I ask is you put my name and The Firing Line on it.
 
Dennis:

Sir, I would NEVER make a copy without giving credit where credit is due. Thank you. I know that my Son and his friends will love it, you see, their "politics" is somewhere to the right of Atilla the Hun. :D
Thanks again.
Jim :)
