Stepping Down

[The_Doc_Man]

Works for me, but perhaps I begin to realize I am far too tolerant. Uncle G, you did something that I was lying in wait to do. But heck, these days I'm so thick-skinned that I might have let slide something that a less tolerant person would have seen as grounds for declaring a duel at dawn with 60-caliber flintlocks at twenty paces.

Myself, I would have challenged him to throw nasty comments at each other from twenty paces, but I am barred from doing so by the Geneva Conventions. I cannot engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed man.

 

[Vassago]

He already thought it was about him from the beginning, so it's not surprising, really.

I haven't seen any of its posts for ages. It's bliss.

 

[neuroman9999]

No, actually I don't care to clarify. Someone so smart as you should be able to figure it out eventually. Vassago got it. Minty got it. Why can't you?

perhaps because I'm so smart, I'm stupid? kind of like google, facebook, apple, amazon, and the rest of of the geniuses that know virtually nothing out in California?

 

[The_Doc_Man]

I will refrain from speculation.

Troll hunting has become a sport here at AWF. Everybody has their 12-bore sawn-offs slung over their shoulders.

Actually, my old high-school physics teacher used to shoot an eight-gauge shotgun. I guess you folks across the pond would call that 8-bore? He said he got it from his father. Needless to say, he was ready for some very large game. His 8-gauge wasn't sawed off, though. He's been deceased for a long time so I can't borrow it from him, but it WOULD be tempting.

He must have been a stout individual...that is a big gun!

Not wasting good ammo. Rock salt would be a better choice!

He was indeed a burly man. But he said his wiry father shot it easily because he somehow absorbed the recoil well, whereas Dan frequently had a sore shoulder the morning after a shooting event.

Ouchy!

Or is it more like walking peacefully through the forest & having a troll jump on you?

 

[Uncle Gizmo]

Just don't walk over any bridges.

No, they are successful.

 

[Dick7Access]

And I will definitely pop in from time to time.

When are we going to have lunch again?

 

[Vassago]

When are we going to have lunch again?

Unfortunately, not any time soon with Covid out there. I have high risk family so eating out is not in the cards.
