Prayers for TexasCowboy!

TexasCowboy has been using his hip injury as an excuse to prevent his friends from shooting his new riot gun.

Well some of us offered to take a look at it for him and he decided both a proffesional and sober opinion might make more sense.

So he found a coupon and now he is going to let some old saw-bones cut on him.

Probably a better idea than letting us do it, but a few folks feelings are still hurt!

Please all say a prayer for our Cowboy that he is back in the saddle again real soon.

Ummm...I do happen to have another persona, Dinky Applebuns,
courtesy of martin_fierro..:))

She takes over from
and engages in situations like this, helping TC with his fight..:))

[humblegunner]

What ever you need I'll do because humblegunner is only good at breaking things.

Well, Mister Smarty Britches.. maybe he's gonna need some stuff broke!

There, I guess that puts you in yer place!

And who blew up the dang gun anyway???

[Eaker]

He drives slow too, but don't tell him that I said that.

[Eaker]

YOU shot it right before me. YOU prolly messed it up somehow.

YOU might have gotten idjit all over it.

[humblegunner]

He drives slow too

That would actually fall into the "breaking things" category.

Drive slow = break less.

[LadyX]

"And who blew up the dang gun anyway??? "

====================================================

Well, gunner -- your Other Other Mother *just happens*
to have on hand
~ ~ Exhibit "A" ~ ~

[humblegunner]

Well, lets review:
(And keep in mind these pix went all over the world at the time,
Eaker was held up to ridicule in 17 different languages.)

A. Hand the rifle to Eaker

B. Eaker blows it up

C. Eaker gets bandaged and finds another weapon that isn't destroyed. Shoots left-handed.

Yeah. Typical day at the range.

[LadyX]

Hold onto yer cowboy hat, TC --
ahm about to reveal exactly "How TC and LadyX Met"..:))

"Once Upon A Time, in a land far away called Free Republic,
a thread was spun that went on and on and on" ---

A fairly new poster then called himself COB1, and he had a series of these:

CALLING ALL PRE-BOOMERS...LET'S REMINISCE !!!
Thread VIII

Link to it is located Here

=======================================================

Take a gander at it, folks, and see how riveting it can be,
looking back at another time - "our" time...
those threads were/are highly addictive..:))

[Eaker]

You will notice that the individual that may or may not be me is only seen holding undamaged weapons.

Perhaps I wasn't even there when this happened.

Is there any proof including the piece of cartridge that was removed from my breastbone that I was there? That piece of brass could have gotten embedded in my chest some other way. Perhaps a fishing accident.

Are there any witnesses??

I rest my case.

[Txsleuth]

Thank you so much for posting the link to the "good old days"---I noticed it is dated even before 9/11---should be really interesting...

I bookmarked it for a time when I can sit back with a tall, cool glass of iced tea, and enjoy....

Prayers up, Cowboy---I have added trussell's niece to my prayers...I am sure you understand!!!!

later
sleuth

[Dog Gone]

Dang, I want to hire you as my attorney. That was sweet!

[humblegunner]

the individual that may or may not be me is only seen holding undamaged weapons.

Yeah... Micheal Jackson needs you on the defense team!

[Eaker]

LOL!!

The "fishing accident" excuse works like a charm!!

[humblegunner]

Are there any witnesses??

Yes.

[Eaker]

I remember those threads!!

Cool!!

[Eaker]

Yes.

Credible??

I think I was at work that day.

[LadyX]

"I think I was at work that day."

Not that I was actually present, you understand, Eaker,
but I'm reasonably sure you were indeed at work --
on a l-o-n-g list of chores TheMom had you doing
that very day..:))

In fact, she snapped this photo of you
washing something --

[Eaker]

Habeas Corpus

To wit et-al

I declare ipso facto that I rest my case!!

You hold me in contempt?

So do I!!!

Please remand the witnesses into custody.

The baliff is drunk and my flask is missing.


I am REALLY getting the hang of this!

[Valin]

Today and tomorrow are my completely off days.

There are those who say everyday you're off..your rocker that is. I'd never say that, but then I don't know you that well.

You see how this stuff happens?
I-break-stuff indeed.
