"Ahem".... If the invite is still open, I have decided to grace this gathering with my presence cool

Just to make sure that no migratory warblers are placed in danger downrange.

I shall bring my flintlock smoothbore, shooting actual lead balls for a change instead of just powder smoke at a bunch of opposing Mexican soldados as is more usual.

Smoothbores are cool, they take all the pressure off this accuracy stuff.
