A follow up on the silliness..."I am now going to fire this on full semi-automatic" the General says...

...which means he will pull the trigger 12 times to take 12 shots!

There is no such thing as Full Semi Automatic! This General just embarassed the heck out of himself on CNN...why would he do that?

My two cents on the AR15 & stuff...

It is a scary looking gun. And that was the point when the gun mfrs 1st started producing it back in

the '50s...It is a replica of a combat weapon. The AR15 shoots one bullet with one pull of the trigger.

The AR15 came first & the design became the M16.  The M16 was first used in Viet Nam

and was one shot per trigger pull OR full auto, ie, flip a switch on the side of the gun 

& you could waste 20 rounds with one pull like the crazy Arabs do...

The M16 was mostly plastic & held up pretty well in jungle conditions.

Now we have the M9

And the M5

And the m4 carbine

Which are made for urban warfare...close quarters.

And shoot rapidly bad ass ammo.

No infantry soldier would ever agree to go into battle with just an AR15!

These weapons & other Military weapons, are fully automatic & have been banned from sale to the 

Public since 1934! They wanted to make it illegal for the 

Mafia to have Tommy Guns! See how well that worked out...

All guns are deadly. They will kill you when in the hands of the wrong person.

Oh, and I saw a news report where somebody said a rifle

bullet travels faster than a hand gun bullet, ergo, it makes no sense to arm

volunteer teachers or cops with hand guns...

The above hand gun is a Glock & it will...lay you down.

Bottom line, the AR15 is a nasty looking gun that is just as effective 

& deadly as a Glock or a revolver, or the gun my Dad used to put on top of our

six foot six inch China Cabinet when he came home from work every day.

One trigger pull, one shot...

And do not even get into Bumpstocks! Nobody even heard of such a thing

until that Vegas nut killed all those innocent people...

To appease the Public, bumpstocks should be banned.

Split Man

I hate opening up these Pillsbury crescent rolls!

(stolen from a capoferri post)

I readily admit I have a personal snack drawer...

A recent study claims that most people, adults & children

alike, have a secret hiding place for their snacks!

I admit I have such a drawer. Howsomever, I live alone.

So I am hiding my snacks from no-one...

The study shows that women hide snacks more than men...

Do you have a snack hiding place?

Do you Philly Fans realize this?

Riddle me this...

Since the Eagles won the Super Bowl on Feb 4

What is the record of the other three major sport franchises in the City?

The Sixers are 7 & 0!

The Flyers are 9 & 1 and almost tied for 1st place!

And also, the only Team they have lost to is a Team also owned by the 76ers owner!

And Gabe's Team is also 1 & 0, having beaten Tampa U last week!

I understand that Gabes Team will present itself for the 1st time on TV

tomorrow @ 1PM...

(my sources tell me that Gabe will be wearing a uniform)

Broward Cowards!

McKenna is "Free Falling"

Chris Geisel and McKenna came by Oxford Studios last Saturday and we recorded two songs. It looks like the music gene is still alive in our extended family.

Since we all like to take long drives...

...plus, we all love High-tec....

It is strange feeling when you are an Eagles fan

And your Eagles win the Super Bowl for the first time.

And you are all excited

And your local friends and family are too

And you turn on the National News channels

And the popular cable channels

And nobody is talking about the great Win the Eagles just had

And the Great parade they had on Thursday

It makes an Eagles fan feel the world is strange

When really the outside world would look at us Eagle fans as strange

More proof that no matter what happens to you, me or the other person

Life rolls on

It is even better the 2nd time you Watch it!

I just watched the re-run of the Super Bowl XLII and I paused even more to get photos,
yes,  I got photos of the 46 yard field goal that our field goal kicker kicked...
I believe his name is Jake Elliot but they should refer to him as RR cause everytime
Al Michaels refered to him he mentioned a Rookie Record!

So anyway, I got this from pausing on my 2nd time around:

Practice, practice, practice...you got your Snapper, your Holder & your Kicker...

snapper, holder, kicker

Holder catching the ball from the Snapper

Now, thru practicing with the kicker, the holder

knows that the kicker does not like to see the laces of the football.

So the Holder has to spin the football so that the kicker is not looking at the laces.

spin, spin, spin...

the Kicker is on approach!

The Holder takes a breath, it's out of my hands

And The Kick is Good!

46 yards! Another Rookie Record!

How to get at least close to the Phila Art Museum on Thurs for the Parade

From a long time Phila resident & former Limo Driver...

The Art Museum is located in Fairmount.

As Bob Dylan once sang you need to approach it 

From the West unto the East...

Think Philadelphia Zoo.

34th & Girard Ave

Exit the Expressway at Belmont Ave (on the left side of the Map)

Take Belmont Ave to Girard Ave (there are a few right & left turns involved

but you guys do have GPS)

Go Left on Girard Ave...The Zoo will be on your right.

Before the Girard Bridge, make a right on 34th Street.

The Zoo will still be on your right.

Follow 34th street to Market St (on the left on the Map)

Make a left on Market, pass 30th St Station on your left & scramble for a place to park!

You are just a few walking blocks/miles from the Parkway...

and you never got really deep into Center City...

Brother Tim (ex Philly cop) tells me his sources in the Department are telling him 3million people may be at The Parade!

Image on TV of Sunday night celebration

Pea's plea...

If you are going to the Parade, be nice and

Do not litter!

http://fox40.com/2018/02/05/coyote-found-after-wandering-around-with-jar-stuck-on-its-head/

There are critters out there in the night that may suffer if you litter.

And that may include EAGLES!

Are you a Pauser? Do you know a Pauser? Would you watch TV with a known Pauser?

* A Pauser is a person that, while watching TV, will use the remote control device to pause a program. Pausers often pause to:

• make a point
• take a bathroom break
• go outside & have a smoke
• make a snack
• grab a beer from the frig
• open a fresh bottle of wine
• make a highball
• empty the recycle can
• etc...

Well, I am a Pauser! 

And I never miss the Action!

I may See the action a little later than others,

but I do not miss the Action!

Lancaster people do not like Pausers...

so nobody showed up 

to see my Eagle paraphanalia display

or Fill the prime time seats!

That is...other than Ronan!

There was a great shindig & cheering from Poppy's upper floor!
