Superbowl from 2PM till the wee hours on FOX. Who's watching
all
or most of it?
I will watch the game and commercials - which in the past few
years
haven't been as funny as previous years.
I once got into a heated discussion about this ad being the
best
Budweiser ad ever.

The agrument went on for four weeks and the thread eventually
ended up
with around 10,000 posts.
It'll be a great night for a movie.
Cinderella or Snow White might be to your liking.
Shouldn't you be patrolling your 'hood for "wetbacks" on the
loose?
I wouldn't know a wet back if I saw one. And I haven't been on any
sort of patrol since my military days.
Harry, when you go out on patrol, do you keep your revolvers
locked
and cocked?
Oh. You just like to refer to certain people as "wetbacks." I get
it.
I don't patrol. I leave that to the local sheriff.
Hmmm. How would I "lock and load" a revolver? You must have been
one
hell of a soldier.
You never get much of anything right.
Please explain how *you* lock and load the typical revolver, soldier
boy.- Hide quoted text -

Start a "I know more than you about guns" thread... OH, and before you
do read his "origional" post to which you keep refering to, you will
note that he never, ever, ever, said, "lock and load", LTP boy....
This thread is about football, and we all know you will be watching...

You're welcome to drive down here and meet me at a local movie theater,
and observe me not watching the Stupor Bowl.

Oh...how do you lock and cock a revolver. I understand the latter, but
lock?- Hide quoted text -

If you'd buy some books, you could stay home and read.

See - learn something new every day.

I always heard the term as lock and load - never made sense, but then
most phrases in common usage don't make sense over the long haul.

I just looked it up - turns out it's actually the reverse - load and
lock and comes from using a M1 carbine. Which I trained on before the
M16, but I never head it that way.

And having some time to kill before Scott gets here, I looked it up.

Actually it's very simple. Since Harry has spit out the hook I'll explain.
Locked, as in the cylinder locking in front of the barrel during the process
of cocking a single action revolver, or a DASA revolver.
