"We never really own a dog as much as he owns us."
Gene Hill Then what about cats? John Wayne said that no=one really owns a cat, they just board with you. The other one I like is "Dogs have owners, cats have staff".

Say the sentence twice as follows: "Magazine writers have been replaced by you on the Internet." "Magazine writers have been replaced by me on the Internet." One would not say, "Magazine writers have been replaced by I on the Internet." So, the correct grammar/structure would be: "Magazine writers have been replaced by you and me on the Internet." Congratulations to those who got it right. I'm a little late to the dance on this one, but hopefully I can add professional reference that would punctuate what Bob has written. One needs to look no further than the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the lyrics of the song, "Fishing in the Dark." I add, "YOU and ME fishing in the dark." Case closed. 😁

"A boat is a hole in the water into which one pours money"
Have no idea where I read that.

I chuckle every now and then over Johhny B's irreverent reference to "Boobus Americanus" in an old Gray's Sporting Journal article entitled "What Is This Thing On My Rifle And Why Am I Looking Through It?". I have long since lost my copy of the magazine,and can't recall the precise context in which it was used, but I think of it now and then when reading the Optics Forum,and it makes me smile. Some stuff never leaves you and is timeless.

"A boat is a hole in the water into which one pours money"
Have no idea where I read that. Whoever coined that phrase evidently bought beyond their needs and means….not saying there aren't plenty which make it true however. Bill Jorden's old admonishment that when in a gun fight to "take your time fast" Having experienced that 'other' dimension in time where one gets the benefit of clarity and sluggishness of time passage within brief moments, perhaps I know what he was talking about. Or perhaps I don't.
Sometimes, the air you 'let in'matters less than the air you 'let out'.

The corollary to the saying that a boat is a hole in the water into which you pour money is the aviation saying that an airplane is a hole in the air into which you pour money.
If you think boats and their parts are expensive all you need to do is compare them with aircraft parts.

Guy walks into a hardware store in a harbor town. Going down the aisle he spots two identical products next to each other, each from the same manufacturer, packaged the same, exactly the same in every way except one is priced at $6.99 and the other is priced at $29.99.
He brings this to the attention of the clerk who grabs the more expensive one and notes, "oh, this should have been put in the Marine Accessories section."

John Wootters had an article in Guns and Ammo that I believe was titled "Facts and Fancies About Deer Rifles" in that article he was speaking of common cartridges used for deer hunting. He stated "there is not a dimes worth of difference between them"

Two quotes from Elmer Keith:
1. A 270? A damn adequate coyote rifle!
2. To heck with efficiency, its performance we want!
