    Nude art - your opinions

    I remember a LOOOOONG time ago, when Roseanne Barr was just getting started, she was on a talk show, and was asked if she would do nudity in a movie.... she said that the only way she would do it was if it was an essential part of the story..... or, if someone asked her to. Cracked me up...

    Nude art - your opinions

    Too bad... I would have liked to have seen it. I find that the most interesting, realistic pictures are those that are "spontaneous" , or when the subject is unaware they are being photographed.... that is difficult to capture in a drawing, I imagine....

    Nude art - your opinions

    Yes.... I've seen all of those in person, and the detail in his statue of David is just breathtaking. Even the veins in his arm are detailed. We just sat and looked at it for about 20 minutes or so... The Pieta was behind glass, so it sort of diminished it a bit, but it's also amazingly...

    The military version of it does. I'm not sure about the .277 SIG Fury.... the pics I've seen of it looks like an all brass case. A little research is in order...

    As an update.... I read an article about the Lake City ammunition plant that supplies nearly all our military ammo.... as we speak, they are adding a 450,000 sq ft facility that is specifically for the manufacturing of the new 6.8 x 51 ammo. They will make everything in-house. The report says...

    I have the dies, and over 1000 bullets and probably 500-600 cases ready to load, but I don't reload the 9mm at this time, because I can still buy new ammo for about $11 a box. I'm holding my reloading supplies in reserve for "a rainy day" so to speak. I do reload for my .45 ACP, but I also buy...

    I have some 22 KHornet brass that I've loaded maybe 5 or 6 times. I have some 38 special brass that I've loaded at least that many times. I'm on either my third or maybe fourth time on some of my 308 brass. 45 Colt, the same. I recently started annealing some of the Hornet and some 6.5...

    Not sure what a slaughterbot is, but there's not much of anything that a .50 BMG with AP rounds won't "fetch"....

    Yes, I've seen a few of his videos. He makes good ammo.... As something of an update, I just saw that the military is moving to a new cartridge, and a whole new "theology" for battle. They apparently have decided that the 5.56 is just not enough cartridge for what the troops are facing now...

    The only one I've tried is the 6.5 Grendel. I like it pretty well. As with most 6.5's, its bullets usually have a pretty high ballistic coefficient, along with better sectional density, which means they will get better penetration on game. The 6.8 SPC is probably slightly better than the...

    Of course it is. There are many much better options for that same platform. The military almost adopted a .270 caliber... what was it, the 6.8 or some such? It was supposed to be way superior to the 5.56, ballistically. There are also other very popular options, such as the .300...

    Happy Global Beatles Day - June 25th

    Yes.... I read that they were stoned out of their minds when recording it, and couldn't enunciate very well... there were a few songs of that era that were thought to have contained "vulgarity".... imagine that. "Muddy Water" was one of them... House of the Rising Sun was famously about a...

    Yep..... the psychedelic era of music. Beautiful songs with no meaning at all... songs like "Crimson and Clover", and "The Hurdy-Gurdy Man".... there's a ton of 'em....

    Yes.... I was 10 years old when I saw them on the Ed Sullivan Show.... I was never a rabid fan, but I like a lot of their songs. They most definitely changed the music world.... I also read that they were greatly influenced by Buddy Holly's music... oddly enough, I like George Harrison's...

    I have not listened to the podcast yet, but it is my firm policy that I will not answer any questions about my "mental state" (which my wife thinks is probably a good thing :ROFL:) whether about stress, or anything else. I also refuse to answer any questions about my hobbies, or whether I own...
