It's just amazing....several containers of Doritos snack chips fell off
a container ship in a storm 2 months ago near Virgonoa Beach and the
crowds wading out to get free Doritos by the bagful was
hysterical....guess that's better than letting it all sink and having
sealife eat all those preservatives!


Once Terry and I were delivering lube and fuel to a ship in the
Boliver anchorage in Galveston. They had us bring 400 cases of beer.
One pallet was almost ship deck level and the pallet bar shifted and 75
cases of Miller light fell from 50-60 ft and hit our barge. There was a
river of beer cans 2ft wide 1/4 mile long heading offshore, you never
seen so many boats appear from no-where. The whole barge stunk like old
beer for a week.

For Miller Light! I wouldn't drink that crap with your lips.

I dont drink that crap either, I'd rather shoot the full can with my
Remington .22 using CB rounds. CB rounds are great in urban areas were
you do not need hassles, the are very quiet, but great for plinking and
taking rats out under 100 ft.
Bad points are they do not have enough power to cycle a semi auto
(jams). I can hit the Miller i at 75 ft, or in one ear and out the
other on rats.

Wow Scotty, see that, _A_Beer_Thread and a _Gun_Thread_ at the _same_
time! Hoo weeee!

Hey Joe, ever blast a Miller with a 12 ga. #4 shot at twenty feet? Not
much can left.

Cheers

Is it illegal to target shoot while drinking in Can. ?
Texas? Anywhere?

Not sure, we plink with the BB pistols all the time when we sit on the
dock sipping brews. Floating beer bottles are great practice targets
and provide the little fisheys a place to hide.

If you were at a club, unless it had a license to serve liquor, it would
be illegal. Not because of the shooting, just that consumption of
alcohol in a public place is generally illegal. On your own property,
you'd be okay unless you were quite squiffed, in which case you could be
charged with unsafe handling of a firearm, or worse something like
criminal negligence or maybe possession of weapon dangerous to the
public peace. Makes sense to me, being hammered and messing with guns
seems pretty stupid to me.

Cheers
Marty
