Might want to fix the typo. No one wants to be a "looser."

Is there supposed to be a comma before "and"?

Yeah, just jumping on the bandwagon

Frankly, unless you have actually been in a gunfight, it looks pretty ridiculous.

Did you mean "on one" or did you mean to write, "no one"?

Your inattention to detail is shocking.

I dunno, that information could come in handy when you get shipped back to the same AO a year later...

At least you picked a well known quote to mutilate. Most responsible users attempt to ensure accuracy and have the courtesy to credit the source. Peregrino

My error, sorry

Lol that is great; made and ass of myself there… well I have learned to re-read my post better next time. Sorry to waste people’s time, I hope you enjoyed the chuckle.

As for crediting the source, a police officer, name unknown to me, said it in the shop the other day. I DID NOT research the quote for accuracy, as I should have.

I am pulling signature until I can quote it correctly and credit it to the right person.

As for:

“does time fuze burn at 40 feet per second or is it 40 seconds per foot...or is that det cord...or clothesline...? you know what i mean..”
-- lksteve

I should have paid more attention to detail, point taken, lesson learned. However did you mean “fuze” or “fuse”?

aricbcool, your right as well it would be important info, I just liked the way it sounded, and thought (if I would have posted it right) others would enjoy it to.

The Reaper, is this offensive, if so I truly didn’t mean it that way. I never said here or anywhere that I had been in a gunfight.

Stop digging. The hole will only get deeper.

Shit, he can call it a foos for all I care. He lives it. Or perhaps you missed the point about attention to detail. I am sure there is a lesson in SA in your last post, but I am not one to give it.
