How's the fishin' HBB..??

catchin' anything from under the bridge?

Looks like we have flushed out another TROLL. Maybe if we quit feeding it the varmint will slink back to its slimy lair.

Looks like I hooked a big SUCKER <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

HBB

Yeah so it seems.......

wildswalker, you gotten out for any more turkey huntin' lately?

Hmmmm--forgot our Meds today I see well maybe you should take them before the little lovely decides to send you along your way(she calls me precious when she catches her breath). I would suggest a strong ice coffee enema! You really should reconsider your decision to carry a firearm because you may not be mentally capable of handling the stress of such an awesome responsibility. Now go to bed and take your meds as tomorrow is a new day. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Now you have been caught, gaffed, and mounted and currently reside on the wall in my master bathroom over my toilet so you can see the water <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> Not mammas prize boy are you--oh well have a nice night<img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

wtf...

You are a piece of work, troll.

BT/DT on things you can only wonder at. And, you are gonna lecture me? TFF...

You couldn't handle me on my worst day, and I suspect you know it, too. Hide behind your imaginary friend Speedy, and all will be well in your little world. Under the bridge... troll...

HBB; You up for a little varmint huntin' this summer?

Sounds good .. I'll know more about my schedule, etc. in about two weeks Then we can work out the logistics.

Got out before daylight Saturday just to get soaked to the bone...box and slate ain't conducive to a downpour...

Birds were quiet down in the bottoms where I took my boy, talked to an old geezer out on the road when we left and he said he had one bird gobble once up on the ridge first off but that was it....

Try again next Sunday as I better work a shift this coming Saturday...<not grinnin'>

Mr. Hoss,
You're not doing yourself any favors here. You are making yourself look like an ass...No a JACKASS!!! Listen up...No one here is gonna take you seriously on anything that you post...Face it..You are an A-Hole...And no one wants to be talked to like you are spewing...
Spitt'n teeth comes to mind...This is advice,not a slam...Back off...You would never talk to VANimrod to his face like you are here...There are definatly more than a few here that think that I'm a A-Hole as well,and they don't talk to me or even jump in on anything that I an invloved in...another hint...

Hey Bart...how goes it down in Lone Star...?

Look maybe things are different where you live but I am not gay so please pick someone that is. Could be why she left you some ladies do not like to share! Make sure you work thru these not so latent tendencies to indirectly solicit male companionship or you may find yourself in need of Counsel again.

However, if you are threatening my person in a public forum such as this then you have indeed shown yourself to be unstable. Maybe this behavior warrants some more discovery--please do carry on! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Worked 10.5 hours today and climed 3 poles...

Hi guys, new to the forum and this is the first thread I have read...have enjoyed most of it. Do have a couple questions/things to say.

Are the threads routinely hijacked by people like the individual from Texas, who apparently is unable to engage in a gentlemenly disagreement without getting obnoxious?

As for Mr. Coleman's "lemming" comment, I think it was pretty close to spot on, and could identify with it. When I first got into accurate rifles, my main source of information was Precision Shooting. I chose a Hart barrel for my first (and second, and third, and...) "custom" rifle as that is what seemed to be winning the majority of the bench rest matches. In a couple of years, thanks in large part to Tony Boyer, Shilen seemed to be taking a large portion of hardware home. Strangely enough, at about this time, I ended up with a Shilen barrel. Of recently, I have noticed a number of Krieger's in the match results. I imagine Krieger presence in the BR game will continue to increase, and I will probably at some point end up with one. I don't think this shift is caused by Hart making a bad product, followed by Shilen, followed by etc. Someone has a hot shooting barrel or two made by company X, other people are going to try it, and if enough people try it, there's bound to be some winners. I'm seeing a lot of BAT actions popping up lately and winning. Same thing. Are they any better than Stolle's, Hall's, etc? I don't know...but they sure are pretty and I'd love to have one. PS used to, and still occasionaly does print equipment surveys/results from the BR game/SuperShoot, and it's interesting to watch the equipment trends. So I think the lemming analogy has a bit of merit. I'm one. Of course, Mr. Coleman, if you can come up with a different, but applicable analogy, that does not involve a rather stupid bird that throws itself off of cliffs and often plummets to it's death, it would do my already low self esteem a bit of good!

And Seely Masker's comment about the paddle wheel was hillarious! Now let's see...this Hall of Fame stuff. Seely had 4 BR Hall of Fame points. Speedy Gonzales has 13...making him smarter and better than Seely according to our Texas friends "Benchrest Hall of Fame Intellegence Quotient". But Seely built a few guns for Dr. Richard Maretzo, who has 14 points, 1 more than Speedy making the good doctor, smarter and better than Speedy. But wait...Smiley Hensley, who if I'm not mistaken shot Douglas barrels a couple years back, has 15 HOF points, making him smarter than all of the above. Alas, poor Mr. Coleman has 0 BRHOF points, and therefore does not know his arse from a #6 contour(Douglas) barrel, and is a total dumptruck as a gunsmith. But he is a gentleman, and can work on my guns anytime.

Now if you'll excuse me, this Kalifornia boy hears a Starbucks Non-fat Vanilla Latte calling my name.

Thanks,
Justin

Zebra;

Welcome to the 'Fire. Thread hi-jacking is a very common occurence. Stick around, you'll see it quite often.

What you won't see (hopefully) is the juvenile and obnoxious behavior of certain types of folks. They normally self-regulate, once no one else pays much attention to them any longer (dftft; "don't feed the f'king trolls").

Your observations about the BR competitions and merits of a certain gentleman gunsmith around here, tongue-in-cheek that they are, are spot on, and funny as hell...

I suspect you'll get along fine 'round here... even for a Kalifornicator.

Justin,
Many thanks for your kind words. At the risk of lowering your self esteem further I must, in keeping with trying to be accurate, point out that lemmings are not birds, but mammals, resembling, if my memory (or what's left of it) serves correctly, something akin to a cross between a rat and a woodchuck.

Anyway, I do appreciate you stepping into the fray. I had decided to just back out of it. There's an old saying that you shouldn't wrestle in the mud with a pig. You only get dirty and the pig is enjoying it.

By the way. One rule around the campfire is that you call me 'Mickey'. Good to have you here.
Warmest regards,
