    I checked my calendar and that date is clear. AGREED! with one condition. Victorian formal wear in lime green, complete with top hats and sword canes in case of hand to hand combat should the balloons crash.

    I was asking a sincere question, just wanting to learn something and "This" is what I get? How "DARE" you people disrupt my thread in such a rude manner!!! It's 'my' thread and you didn't even invite 'me'? Just for that, I'm gonna sight in my long range weapon for thousand yard shots. "YOU'LL GET YOURS, YOU'LL SEE... ALL OF YOU!"

    I'll have to tweak my gun sights tomorrow. The Mrs. insists that I fix supper and do the laundry, first. "Dagnabbit!"

    Good that will give me time to leave a false trail. Let's see...who should I lead him to for that 1000 yard shot?

    On another tangent.
    I was just thinking, has there ever been a thread that says any vintage razor or maker was of poor quality.

    Being so new to this, and not having time to search all threads, I just do one of two things. I try to stick with British and German blades, just to be safe. I used to ask folks for their opinions... but you can see where 'that' got me!

    I like the hat idea.

    Lime green doesn't work for me.

    Can't tell it by the picture but Mom is laughing her butt off.


    It's John's fault ( whether it actually is or not, it's always John's fault). Simpler that way, does away with confusion. Just blame it on John.

    He can't help himself.
    He even takes the credit for killing a TV show.


    He's THE MAN!!
