I hope I can write cohesive sentences. Being a teenager, I hang out on Facebook and AIM a lot. Half the time I can't tell what people are saying.
SM: I have a Sodbuster Jr with an induced patina, and a Medium Stockman with CV and yellow that was my first good knife, received seven years ago. It has a nice, not induced patina, and the yellow handles have slightly changed color.
I also have my Grandpa's Iver Johnson .410 (haven't shot it) and his Colt Single Action Frontier Scout.
Do I get pizza and soda?
RE: Soda.
There are many varieties of soda out there. No matter who tires, no-one can even come close to touching the glory of Coke. Pepsi does it alright, RC and store brand OK, but Coke still reigns supreme.
There are various ways to consume Coke. There are the 12oz cans you can keep in your fridge at home. Then there are the 20oz bottles you get at the gas station to go with your Gold-n-cheez and Moon Pie. Then, there are paper cups that you get a fast food.
There are glasses you get at sit-down restraunts. Plastic are good, as are glass.
But, the Holy Grail of Coke consumption devices is the glass bottle. I believe it is 6.5oz. It isn't that much, say for dinner (that's why there is lemonade and tea). It is good for a quick snack, or for a drink at dinner, like adults who have cocktails and wine. Glass keeps the drink nice and cold. These are usually served in more "folksy" enviroments- old wood convenience store on the side of Lookout Mountain, that seafood restraunt outside Kiawah Island that used to be a fire station- you get the picture.
Open with the bottle opener attached to the cooler, or with your Swiss Army Knife.
With regards to non-cola soda- all root beer is good, if it is served cold. Barqs, Mug, are both good, as is A&W, especially at an A&W restraunt (particulary when that is combined with a Long John Silvers. Fried clams + root beer = happy Preston
)
There are bottled root beers as well, and they are good. Of mention is Boylon's, who still uses cane sugar rather than corn syrup, and Virgils.
Fruit sodas, again Boylon's is really good, due to the cane sugar. IBC and Stewarts also make very good fruit sodas. Crush, Sunkist, NuGrape, etc, are all good, but I think Grape and Orange Nehi take the cake there.
Ginger ale: Schwepps, Seagrams, Canada Dry are all good. However, if you want some
real ginger ale, find yourself a place that sells Seagrams. Warning: do not get this for you only drink at dinner, or for your drink from a gas station. The stuff is delicious, but it is also quite hot. It is best served on a cold night.
Finally, iced tea. Now, I was born in Michigan and lived there five years, but I've lived in the South (Alabama and North Carolina). My parents are southern too (Helena and Memphis). I eat grits, biscuits, country fried steak, ocra, cracklins, fried chicken, corn bread, and consider Macaroni and Cheese a vegetable and pie a food group.
I don't drink sweet tea. Don't really care for it. I like the particular flavors of unsweetened tea. Kind of like coffee- I drink my coffee black.

And, while we're on the subject of names, call me Pres or Preston.
