A question for casastahle.....

Lady Joyce · Post by **Lady Joyce** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 6:04 pm

So why exactly was there a large box containing 13 smaller boxes of old shotgun shells sitting on the front porch when I came home from school today

Blaine · Post by **Blaine** » Thu Nov 04, 2010 6:06 pm

Quick...delete this and don't say a word.......he wanted it to be a surprise for you later this year

A big shotshell heart that said something special, I think....so don't let on you know.

Hmmm... Sounds like maybe he's planning a "hot date"?!?!?!

Or, is there a wedding coming up?!?!?! *

Ummm an answer from casastahle
Ammo. wasn’t part of my “I’m not buying anymore guns” resolution.
Those vintage boxes of shotgun shells are better than money in the bank right now.
Guys this is what happens when the Princess gets home before the knucklehead.
This will undoubtedly cost me a dinner out, or two or three.

I think this year some of the Girl Scout troops started selling old shotgun shells instead of cookies.

It's the latest thing...

Honest...

Well, maybe not entirely honest, but they could be doing that...

I'm just elated it's not me for once!

My day of reckoning is coming Mescalero, when I admit to my wife that I am secretly beginning the stockpiling of Longrifle parts to build a new custom muzzleloader. Have to wait for the right time to bring these dark secrets into the light of day you see....

Played that card many a times myself. Don't drink, smoke, or play golf. Figure my few and far between firearms-related purchases are nothing to worry about!

KirkD · Post by **KirkD** » Fri Nov 05, 2010 7:19 am

Fortunately for me, my wife and I have friends who collect old John Deere tractors and combines at $5,000 to $10,000 a pop and 1950's Oldsmobiles at $20,000 per item. Compared to that, the occasional old Winchester going in or out the door looks pretty spartan. This type of card, I play in advance. It goes something like, 'Wow, Patti, I just saw so-and-so's John Deere R that he sank $10,000 into! Sure glad I collect old Winchesters and not John Deere tractors! Whew! (gives head a shake)'

By the way, I have nothing against collecting John Deere tractors. I'm kinda hoping that someday I can get me a styled B or, even better, an unstyled D. That is at least 10 years down the road, however, and may require that I sell some of my old Winchesters to float the deal.

Or chasing or looking at scantily clad women.....always a good card "enhancer," which can be brought out when the heat is turned up.

That would only be worth half a card for me.
J knows all to well I like to look

I'm allowed to look, but NOT TOUCH( see Hon I listened), and it doesn't seem to matter whether it drag racing parts,1886's or women same rules apply. Tom

Not Married

Anyway, you guys should grow a set and just tell your women what's what. Trust me, they like that firm approach

I was sure there would be a picture of her holding the shells, by now.

Mescalero · Post by **Mescalero** » Fri Nov 05, 2010 2:08 pm

I am not married and I do not use Blaine's " firm approach "
so here is a paradox
he does,
I do not,
both single?
how come?

Blaine,
Man dude, way not cool.

My princess J and any other ladies in this forum see this we’re all in trouble.

I for one think it would be great to have more of the female variety in this forum.

Please don’t chase them away.

I know your just tong & checking

I have a good friend that once tried to sneak in a new Corvette under the nose of his beloved, thinking that he could have it in his storage unit before she got home, but she took the day off work that day....that just didn't work out too well......when he got busted he then tried to convince her that it was her upcoming valentines day present.....that went worse. I wouldn't recommend the valentines day approach.

Yeah, for that new gun in the corner... right the girl scouts are selling them this year instead of cookies. They said they were trying to reach a different demographic group in their fund raising this year.

Well they said they were girl scouts... how was I to know. I don't know the secret hand shake.

2ndovc · Post by **2ndovc** » Fri Nov 05, 2010 7:27 pm

This is one of the funniest posts in some time.
I can get the occasional new gun past my Blondie, but she seems to have
a nose for ammo purchases of more than one box too.

I had a recent midway shipment that came in a really big box on our front porch this week.
All it had in it was a bag of 50 .375 Win. cases and a pack of ten plastic ammo boxes.

She was all up in arms. " What's in the Big Box?"
When I unpacked all the air bags she calmed down. Not that I was really that concerned. It's my money after all
but things seem to run better around here when she's paying the bills.
I figure if i forget one. I bet they'll send another one next month.

Could be true, if your referring to these girl scouts.

Let's look at this in an analytical manner,
casastahle's posterior is precariously close to the edge,
Blaine is as usual out of control,
O.S. is practicing his silver toungued devil 21st century witchcraft
the boys are chiming in with all sorts of wisdom of dubious value
I just want to bring some reality before someone winds up in divorce court, with ALL of us as material witnesses.

You said it brother! After 42 years I've finally arrived in understand my relationship to women and how they view me and my actions. I am a man, therefore, I'm wrong. There is no other paradigm which better helps a man anticipate and operate around a womans expectations, and live to tell the tale.
