Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Damn, I am such a pitiful girly man

It's not a man cave unless it has at least one 12 gauge hole in the wall.

Nice pattern, eh?

00,... 3"

'ol Laurie could use a poke. Do your duty and regain your manhood.

I am ashamed to admit the only AD hole in the plaster in this house is from a little girly .380 PPK.

How come you shot your wall when you have your firing hole down in the basement?

Lonesome Dove does bring a lump to my throat, but the one that rally does me in is My Dog Skip. The whole family was squalling like babies when we watched it.

Welcome to my world too Steve; "Hey mom, dad's watching that [bleep] western again!". I get the same song and dance every time Tombstone comes on or Quigley...

My in-laws live on Lake Arrowhead, near Wichita Falls, Tx. Father-in-law took me riding around one day, drove past McMurtry's childhood home outside Archer City. He had just moved back, was running a bookstore and writer's workshop "in town". I can see that as being the kind of country that would inspire stories like "The Dove".

McMurtry has a 100,000 volume book collection in Archer City he is auctioning in the very near future. His west coast collection is approx a million and is electronic. His words from the paper this morning 'synopsized' were that although his heirs were literate, the weren't book people and he didn't want to burden them with the sheer size of the collection. Mr. McMurtry is 75. Archer City is exactly the type of place that inspired "Last Picture Show'.

BTW, nice house Steve NO.

Quigley had a Sharps rifle, and Laura San Giacomo it ain't gay.

thanks....my dad's family are from that area..Wise, Stonewall and Haskell counties.....Last Picture Show was like looking out the window.

I think my "rep" for large racks is well established AND Lonesome Dove has Diane Lane and that also most certainly "ain't gay" !

yep

and the Alamo too

when it fell

and

when we drove the Mexican Army into the San Jacinto�

A man who wouldn't cheat for a poke don't want one bad enough.

Well,..I had been doing some gunsmithing on an old pump gun,..and the hole in the wall is all part of the learning curve.

Finicky things, those old pre war pump guns.

I'm still not comfortable with it.

Damn things are loud inside the house.

Even rung my worn out old ears.

the PPK AD was a learning curve issue as well.
