The same sorta stuff that made me know "Rita", aka "Larry Thong" recently, was a guy. Were you the one who was so skeptical about my claim re "Rita" when you first came to this NG? I never did get an enthusiastic thank you from the guy whoever he was. -- john mcwilliams I know that you believe you understood what you think I said, but I'm not sure you realize that what you heard is not what I meant.

Not to mention the subject matter of "Rita's" contributions: I REALLY would surmise that a woman would not be so much into dogshit as "Rita". > > Were you the one who was so skeptical about my claim re "Rita" when you > first came to this NG?

My kinda woman. (Though I'm mainly a Beretta guy myself.) As in 9mm? Wuss? LOL I was carrying an XD-9 for awhile but the guys in my gun group kept bugging me about its lack of "stopping power" ( heck it had 9mm +P JHP! ) and telling me to carry a .45 ACP. So I figure if 14 rds of 45 ACP JHP wont do the job now, I gotta call in Jack Bauer. LOL > >> so it's already pretty full and slightly >> heavy. ;-) > > Leave the extra magazine home and that'd save the weight of a pretty > good-sized compact camera. :-) Already do that. <sigh> "A pistol is just something you use to fight your way back to your rifle."
