Damn! I was already looking forward to go hunting but there seems to be no need for it anymore. Grandma outdid herself tonight. She shot the parrot of her downstairs neighbour and that's more than enough to prepare a tasty dish.Yummie! Let's all praise the existence of handguns. Amen.

my late father told me that when he was a commercial cook for a fisherman's outfit in seattle several decades back, one of his dorm mates was drunk one night and was bothered by a mosquito that wouldn't leave him alone [couldn't get enough of his alky blood] so he took out his .357 magnum and tried to shoot it. he missed.

Was it anything like this :?:

Photographic memory, I can't switch it off. Mostly useful, but it occasionally weirds people out when I can pull their address out of my head from my delivery driving days, or remember something they said in passing years ago verbatim. Does make me a wiz at trivia though, they used to let me win 3 times as a kid, then I had to sit out so the other kids would have a chance.

you might have something in common with an actress, marilu henner. you both are members of the high-iq club [superior memory goes with it].

My husband doesn't like guns so he made me sell mine. Although I'm not legally allowed to own one now anyway. There is a 12 guage down in the closet in my daughters room I think. My youngest son may or may not have one, I don't know. I know his friend does. I don't have a problem with guns. I'd have one if my husband didn't hate them so bad. Almost everybody where I live has one.

it would be neat if somebody would make a pistol version of one of those big pancake guns [that shoots out a bag which inflates into a wide flat disk which flattens anybody in its way].

Physics tends to get in the way, as anything powerful enough to knock someone over on impact is going to have commensurate recoil, and that's even harder to deal with in a pistol format than in the rifle one. Also, anything over .50 is considered a "destructive device" by the ATF and subject to special licensing requirements, and so isn't considered commercially viable enough to warrant development.

Let me tell you a dirty little secret; a good memory is not the same thing as being smart, but is the kind of thing that people think of as smart. I do happen to be pretty smart, but it's my memory that impresses people, even though it has nothing to do with my intelligence. Strangely enough, compelling original though is less impressive to most people than perfect recall of 80's pop culture, cocktail origins, recipes, addresses, etc.
