Chris is roasting wiener and marshmellows boy shooting his .454 over the "mellow and dogs' staked by coat hangers on the shooting bench
I heard that Steve! Lol :D

One other one approspos my brass proclivities ... if someone drops a spent case (ya know how we pull out 9mm's, 45's and 22's with loose change!?) ... how big would be the rush to pick up and claim it! Led by me of course!:p
 
Clinic

Round Table discussion on how to limit the number of
"Help me Decide ...." threads to one thread per user per calendar year.


(I am pesonally of guilty of more then one ...)
 
Dress code: black cargo pants, shoot-me-first vests, and tinfoil hats. :D

Condiments on the table include hot sauce, Salt, pepper, Hoppes 9. Garlic powder, & black powder.

Flatware consists of butter knife, trench knife, fork, spoon, salad fork, brass bore brush, pipe cleaners.

At the bar:
1 bowl for peanut shells
1 bowl for oyster shells.
1 bowl for spent shells.
 
You take vacation so you can drive a couple hundred miles to meet a bunch of people you don't know and they'll all be packing guns.
When you get there, total strangers with guns in calibers you've never heard of before say "Wanna shoot it?"
 
... if someone wanders through the room in the nude, the only surprise is that they aren't packing.

... "I'll show you mine if you'll show me yours" refers only to firearms.

... at Preacherman's house, the gun-loving cats are busy hiding as many spare parts as they can for later (clandestine) assembly.

... at Runt_of_the_litter's house, while inspecting her pet spider collection, the main topic of conversation is "what caliber to stop a hungry tarantula?".

... more guns are traded in the course of two hours than in the course of two days at a regular gun-show.
 
Held at a Hotel with meeting rooms

...a group heads to the kitchen to sharpen knives.

...THR members bring their own game and have to teach the kitchen staff how to cook it.

...THR members take over kitchen , kitchen staff gets a firearm lesson in meeting room.

...Sign outside meeting room: "Attention Mutant Alien Bears - Enter at your own risk".

...Long discussion on just how one goes about field dressing Mutant Alien Bears.

...Discussion continues as to best way to cook Mutant Alien Bears.

...Red or White wine with Mutant Alien Bears?

...Sign outside meeting room " Welcome Mutant Alien Bears. "

...THR members got this figured out you see. :p
 
You are getting hit in the face with food because Tropical Z is sitting across the table from you, shouting "Hi Points RUUUUUUULE!!" with a mouthful of pizza.
 
Missing the Obvious

Everyone is looking for the chrome AK with "da switch" on it.... :neener:
 
When Oleg insists on converting money to noise at every opportunity...BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRAP!

Contingency plans A, B, and C are discussed while seating at Huddle House.

You have to rescue a very tall strawberry blond with a small German car...who manages to have a decent firearms collection concealed about her person.

You're delighted to see people you've never seen before...in the wee hours.

Those people announce their presence with "Don't shoot..."

:D

When a blonde runs through a screen door.....
Of all the times to be collecting something from another room.... :-(

- When there are regular armed, 4wd shuttle runs to an off-site parking spot because the crowd is too big for local parking.

- A Hawk and a Dove can be in heated arguement without either being eaten by the house Cat.

- When "Barbie" implies more than a doll...
 
...you ask what someone's backup piece is they say: "50BMG"

...there's a craps game going on in the bathroom with wagers of handfulls of loose ammo

...the dining sections are marked "blackpowder" and "smokeless"

...the gossips are all abuzz over the slob that wore a brown holster with a black belt

...the major topic of conversation is if the NRA is too "liberal":D
 
The folks outside running the barbecue grill have had their forks, tongs and spatulas hard-chromed to match their BBQ guns. They're arguing about whether checkered walnut or Hogue/Pachmayr rubber is better for spatula handles...
 
You can honestly answer "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?" without the girl flipping out.

On a side note, IME answering with "Both, actually" gets some weird reactions...
 
Gewehr98 shows up...

with a life-sized cardboard cutout of Zulu War Pooh. :D


(Just wondering what life-size is with respect to the creatures in Pooh Corner)
 
When everyone communicates with THR hand signals because the waitors/waitresses or servers could be UN informants.

When the women not only go to the restroom in a group, they flashbang it.

Everyone starts dissin' eachother with 'Yo Mama So Tactical' :eek:

All the geeks have THR Magic cards....
 
When Oleg takes a less than flattering picture of you wearing some obscure military uniform and holding the "Barbie" version of a battle rifle, then the photo appears on THR as a "guess which member this is post".
 
Everyone is different

You know that you are at a THR meeting and you ask for everyone to show what they are carrying and every gun is different, except for the 1911 crowd, of course, then there is the ..."Glock meisters" and the HK group, and the SA survivors....etc.,etc.
 
I'm new to THR, but this is how I imagine it:

You feel underdressed because youre only carrying a 50 BMG and 454 Cassul.

The event suddenly becomes an outdoor event when the flame thrower used to roast the chicken gets out of control.

Shooting wads of ice through a straw becomes a 25 yard competition. H&H Hunter won't participate because the straws aren't controlled round feeding.
