I don't remember how many rounds Vlad's Glock holds. It must be close to a dozen. My pistols (one revolver and one semiauto, both .22s) hold 9 shots each. Counting isn't foolproof. Where does all that "mine is bigger than yours" macho stuff come from? Lena picked up my .22 Winchester Model 190 rifle cold, and fired a pattern of ten shots you could cover with a quarter.

Brent, your posts have tickled me. I now declare that I officially owe you a bottle of the finest Czechoslovakian pilsner beer. Pilsner beer did NOT originate in Germany. Pilsner beer, as far as I've read, originated in Pilzen Czechoslovakia. The original Budweizer was a Czech lager beer, **NOT** that rice-based slop sold in America. (I can't bad-mouth the American Anheuser-Busch Company's Budweizer too much. They were forced to start using rice in their beer during the grain shortage of World war II.) I happen to have a souvenir bottle, empty of course, of the original Czech Budweiser shown at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Budvar_UK.JPG (When I die, sadly, that souvenir bottle will be thrown in the trash.) That original Czech Budweiser beer is now sold as "Czechvar" in America See Ya', [-Rick-]

What kind of cool judge can't see the difference >between a a plaid and a check? (Oh, all right, that is a Stuart tartan >under the sweater, but it hardly shows.) Ah, but you *did* make a fashion statement by wearing the sports coat over your red shirt. I have always thought wearing a sports coat is "cool". It's a strong sign that you care how you look. If I didn't know you and met you on the street with you wearing the red tartan shirt under a sports coat, my first impression would be: "This guy may very well be an interesting fellow. We'll see." >>> 3.

What a lady! Yes, I agree, and Dale Dalrymple's "pattern" was also about the size of a quarter. What I learned from our shooting range experience is that I've decided **NOT** to burglarize" Valdimir's or Dale's house in the middle of the night. See Ya' [-Rick-]

But Everyone likes good Clint Eastwood quotes, so fire away. (BTW - In Clint Eastwood's latest movie "Gran Torino" there is a scene where he gets shot and the police cars are from Highland Park, MI [ sort of a city encapsulated in Detroit]. I was born in Highland Park, MI and I have the birth certificate to prove it!) > >I just took my wife to the shooting range. She was tearing it up in > >there. > > Ah ha.

It's actually nerdy but very handy. "Oh sure, I just happen to have a 6-32 screw.

We'll see." Who knows where flattery might get you? Jerry -- "It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are 20 gods, or no God. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."
