You're not living right bro

Ham, bacon, pineapple is my daughter's (4 yo) favorite

 

[Ratman]

Right? Nobody has even asked him if he was okay with pineapple on pizza. WTH?

@Ratman Be very careful how you answer this if asked... You will make some friends, and make some enemies. Choose wisely...

I can top that....but will hold for better timing

Now for the benefit of full disclosure.....

I was sighting in a muzzle loader. Got interrupted by a a buddy that needed some help sighting. Went back and sent a round from my rifle, but not before removing the ramrod.

I do not know what a ramrod weighs in at, but bases on the recoil I would estimate it at over 250g particularly if the charge is already topped with a 250g bullet.

So, word to the wise.....When going through a process of sending rounds finish the process before you move on to something else.

That's awesome. Sounds like something I might have done and I would have crapped my pants and would have paid to see the look on your face after that.

By the way folks, I THINK that I have worked everything out with the admins over a misunderstanding on the rules of which I have been set straight on, but I am glad this mother of necro post has brought a few laughs to some of you and look forward to more normal interactions with you all.


PS. Pineapple for the win, don't knock till you have tried it.

Bingo

Experience is a great teacher if you survive the lesson and can afford the tuition.

It was bloody

 

[Ratman]

It was bloody

OUCH!!! Maybe I wouldn't have want to see that after all. Hope no lasting damage!

More a lasting lesson than lasting damage.

People make mistakes.
You can learn from it.
Or, you can yell at the mods, tell everyone how stupid they are, have a tantrum, and get booted.


I hope you go with the 1st option.

Wait......what?
You fired your muzzleloader "but NOT before removing the ramrod".
So where's the story here?
Did @BigRed forget to read his post before sending?
How many cocktails have we had, be honest.

I may have to rethink my BigRed for Mod vote.

Intruth he is solid individual. Glad we had the exchange.

So many new folks don’t see our little playground at its full worth when they 1st sign up.

I hope you go with the 1st option.

****, even if you voted for me it would not matter.

I may or may not be a fan of muzzle loading long guns... I am somewhat partial to muzzle loading pistols and revolvers and such.

Long guns perform well though... just make sure you stow the ram rod.
