THR thread inevitabilities

[Grizzly Adams]

I make my own vitriol at home out of old coffee grounds, motor oil, gasoline, and Windex and it works better than any commercial stuff. It'll clean BP, leading, corrosive salts, and even refinish my Mosin stocks.

Add a little diesel fuel and some salt and pepper with that and you can use it as a bear repellant also!

I laughed so hard reading this thread that it's given me a headache.

 

[RealGun]

696. Within two posts of any reference to Kahr Arms, someone will mention Moonies.

 

[John Ross]

700. "I bought a ___________. Is this a good gun?" (NEVER "I'm considering buying a _______________. What do you think?")

701. A poster will present an articulate and positive review of a new gun he bought and likes, and why he likes it. Several others will respond that they "don't see much use for it" with no elaboration.

702. I'll get asked who the woman in the double-wide was on page whatever.

703. When any very large handgun is mentioned, like an SSK Contender or Encore, someone will inevitably say "Where can I get an ankle holster for it?" thinking he is displaying the epitome of wit.

704. Religious references.

705. UC had too much sex in it.

706. Whining " I though we had free speech" references when anyone criticizes something inappropriate said on a PRIVATE forum.

707:Someone will try to start yet another discussion about Bug-Out-Bags and why it is vitally important that they have some really neat piece of kit that everyone else will overlook and how they are gonna die alone and cold in the post-apocalyptic wilderness if they don't have it. Unfortunately in their Uber-Tactical Bug-Out Bag they totally neglect to include toilet paper, bandaids, etc. or some other item that is common-sense to include.

708: Someone else will diss the entire BOB concept and claim they will "Bug-IN" instead.

709: Someone else will claim that every family member's car trunk is stocked with enough supplies to comfortably survive on an airless planetoid for 3 years while carrying on a two-front war against alien invaders.

710: (This is my favorite)
"So I was at this place and somebody did something that seemed odd so I had to RESIST THE URGE to immediately draw my gun on them!!!!1!!!!!one!!"

 

[Strings]

evan, I've had the "BOB Discussion" with my roomie. He's got enough fatigues, gas masks, ALICE gear, and whatnot to equip a fair-sized squad. When I point out that what he SHOULD be looking at is stuff like food and water, he just gives me a blank look...

#667

#691

So I'll try to bring something to the table.........

#711 Stainless or blued?

 

[Brian Dale]

712 When someone asks about Stainless or Blued, a large chorus will point out that stainless has certain advantages, and then somebody from the over-40 crowd will leap forward to pull aesthetic rank on everybody with paeans to the inimitable beauty of fine wood and blued steel, and how 'bout the Royal Blue on those old Pythons, eh? All you need is some RIG and a coat of Johnson's Paste Wax. Nothin' like it.

Regardless of the reason for the questioner's wanting to know.

Even though everyone's seen me po

Umm,

Even though everyone's seen That Member post the same thing over, and over, and o

Hm.

Yup. Somebody will get carried away.


713 When one of the funniest threads ever is resurrected yet again, there will be members who've never seen it, read the whole thing, pick themselves up off the floor, gasping for breath, and feel compelled to count coup on it.

 

[mustanger98]

714: Whenever Stainless vs. Blued comes up, someone has to remind everyone that while the outside of the weapon is Stainless the inside parts are not and that rust is not your friend even if you can't see it. IOW, keep it free of water and keep it oiled.

 

[tjdUSCG]

715. Someone will miss an obvious joke because there is no sarcasm symbol on the internet.

716. An FNG will post in a thread about things that happened long before they even knew about THR.

 

[Harvster]

717. Any thread involving a gun show will have a comment about a full 85% of the tables being Nazi memorabilia.

 

[Superlite27]

715. Someone will miss an obvious joke because there is no sarcasm symbol on the internet.

[SARCASM] Holy Cow! There's no sarcasm symbol? [/SARCASM]

Sorry about the break in continuity. I just couldn't pass up a small chance at irony.

 

[Brian Dale]

718. When someone misuses the word "irony" in taking a crack at a post by a newer member, a Grammar Weenie will soon jump in to say "Well, that's not exactly irony; that's sarcasm, and recursion is fun, too."

 

[Harvster]

Isn't it funny that there is no irony button?

 

[steak-knife]

709: Someone else will claim that every family member's car trunk is stocked with enough supplies to comfortably survive on an airless planetoid for 3 years while carrying on a two-front war against alien invaders

Hmmm...okay if you're the human on the airless planetoid, wouldn't you be be the alien invader fight the local inhabitants? Now, that's irony.

 

[Brian Dale]

 

[Tom Servo]

719: Any discussion of modern 1911s and/or S&W wheelguns will end up claiming that MIM parts are catastrophe waiting to happen.

720: Leather holsters will wear the finish off a gun, while Fobus holsters can be broken off by a hyperactive six-year old.

721: Tenifer finish can withstand the sulfuric-acid atmosphere of Venus, but Nitron/Melonite/Cerakote will rust instantly at the mere mention of humidity.

 

[brighamr]

722: no matter how old a thread is, it will be revived
723: any thread mentioning "saiga" will have multiple responses of "convert it yourself" even if the OP didn't mention a conversion
724: Any thread mentioning LEO performing illegal activities will be locked within 10 posts for cop bashing
724: Any thread where a LEO gives good, solid advice will contain one poster who feels the need to bash cops for no apparent reason
725: any mention of CA, will have multiple CA bashing comments, which will be followed by 30 posts of why it's such a great place to live

that's enough for me

 

[Treo]

Any thread in which the OP specifically states that they are NOT interested in a particular gun will be advised W/in 3 posts that the gun inquestion would be perfect for their needs

EXAMPLE OP :
I'm looking for a good HD gun I'm 4 ft 2 97 years old have osteo perosis and one hand so please don't suggest a 12 ga. pump action shotgun.....

EXAMPLE 3rd post.

DUDE!! what you need is a 12 ga. pump, the sound alone will scare the bad guys away.

ANY thread of ANY kind, that questions the actions of ANY police deptartment will only remain open until such time as it is seen by Jeff White

 

[jnyork]

Any suggestion that a .22 LR can be fired accurately beyond 50 yards is met with immediate scorn.

Dont even DARE suggest that shooting offhand accurately requires more marksmanship that shooting off the bench.

 

[Sir Aardvark]

+1 on the thread resurrection!

 

[Eightball]

Ugh....Zombie threads is another one of those inevitabilities, as has been pointed out several times already.

 

[wyocarp]

The 30-30 has killed every animal on the planet and might be the reason we don't have dinasours.

 

[blkbrd666]

I don't own one, but I feel compelled to recommend everyone purchase a Saiga tomorrow. At the very least, purchase "half" of an AR, just to have around.

 

[John828]

The 30-30 has killed every animal on the planet and might be the reason we don't have dinasours.

It was a 170 grain comet at 2,200 feet per second that wiped out the dinosaurs--EVERYONE knows that.

This is a valuable thread, and it really ought to be stickied at the top. That way, no one will ask a question or post a question that has been axed or posted ten million fifteen times. Try it, you'll like it.

 

[yeti]

727)Someone will add a totally worthless post and try to enhance it's value by pointing out that this is only their 2cents worth.

in for a penny, in for a pound.
