Don, you should try to tie your responses to a specific post. Greg posted about BMX bicycles. You
responded to 'something'.

Now you're trying to convince me you weren't talking about BMX bicycles.

Now I'm beginning to see why you find it necessary to add an 'ny' or 'ie' to peoples names.

A bit babyish, but kinda cute in its way.


Perhaps there will be a sport that involves buying one gun after another
via mail order and never finding the one that's suitable.

Uh, FOAD, I think you've proven you've had or have many more guns than I can dream of.

It's hard to keep it all straight, eh?


I don't buy them the way you do, via mail order without
handling/shooting an identical or very similar model first to make sure
it is suitable for my intended purpose.

You should really go to Sharpshooters and see the collection of guns for 'rent' at $10/hour, or
longer if you wish.

In the meantime, try getting your stories straight.

I haven't watched Olympic sports in many years, but I seem to recall a
couple of events for pedal-powered bicycles. That seems appropriate for
the Olympics, but I'm pretty certain there is no place in the Olympics
for engine-powered sports, and there shouldn't be.

It's a shame that you find no sports interesting to watch. I'd think you'd find curling fairly
entertaining. No pushing or shoving, no fouls, no exertion, no nasty sweating, all the strategy of
pocket pool, and, according to your bud, extremely exciting.

But, given the pride you show for your country, I can understand you not rooting for the 'home team'
in any of these sports. It's rather neat that Norway is at the top of the medal count.



You're making **** up again. I never said I find "no sports interesting
to watch."

I'm proud of my country when it or its inhabitants have accomplishments
in which it is worthy to take pride. Sending the troops in to provide
disaster relief puts a big smile on my face. So does an American winning
a Nobel for medicine, science, literature, peace. Olympic victories in
which professional, paid athletes compete in activities that once were
appropriate only for amateurs does little for me.

Yup, that Nobel won by your boy was quite meaningful, eh? He showed the worth of the Nobel Peace
Prize, eh? I'm sure the smile is still there.

That was what I was talking about ... bicycles.

When we were at Mammoth Ca these crazy SOBs were going down the ski
slopes on mountain bikes just about as fast as they could go. As if
that was not dangerous enough, they built jumps for them and there
were guys doing aerial stunts off of them.

That is America. If Europe invents a dangerous sport like skiing, we
find a way to make it "radical dude".

A couple years ago my friends in Holland had gone to Italy for skiing. There was almost no snow, so
the ski resorts were renting mountain bikes. The bikes could be taken up the lifts and ridden back
down.

If snow boarding made it, I'll bet the BMX stuff isn't far behind.

Yeah, I can see how radical bicycle riding could be a crowd-pleasing
sport at the olympics.

I'm not the one who ordered a pistol after you were advised the trigger
mechanism sucked and then sold or returned the pistol because you didn't
like the trigger mechanism. You are.

No one with any credibility advised me about a trigger mechanism.

And, I'm still behind in the claimed weapons ownership and ammunition department. Oh, and not to
mention the concealed carry permit department.

Damn, three of them? Wow, must have been some incrimination documents.

Whoever claimed that curling was boring should have watched the women's gold medal game between Canada and Sweden.
Just over and was tight until Sweden made one mistake in the 9th end, allowing Canada to earn a commanding lead.

I have a feeling the ice hockey game at noon will be a tad more exciting.

But, congratulations to the Canadians for the gold in women's curling! I'm wondering when they'll
have 'Senior Women's Shuffleboard' as an Olympic event.


Curling is a participation sport Poco. You have to play it to
understand it. You know it wouldn't be there if it wasn't worthy and
you have to admit that watching a baseball game can sometimes be as
exciting as watching paint dry. Unless you are watching from the
playing field.

Gotta admit, I'm not much of a baseball fan either. I didn' find the game difficult to understand. I
found it difficult to develop much enthusiasm.

Besides, it's a sociable way of pulling Don's chain!

Thanks, FOAD. I'll never match the 27 skills you have.
