"You look like a woman, you stupid haggis!" "Haggis? What is haggis?" "Sheep's stomach stuffed with meat and barley!" "...And what do you do with it?" "You eat it!" "How revolting!"

I fully admit to doing that voice when I wear my gas mask at work.

I was going to say that one but decided for the "A king may move a man" bit. Also the extended Director's Cut is much better than the theatrical version, a rare instance of Ridley Scott not getting to have his ideal version of a film go to theaters.

Damn this thread is getting attention again and I'm looking back at that one rifle... Simpson also has a barreled action that I could maybe do something with. Something most esoteric, just to have. .318 Westley-Richards, .350 Rigby. .425 Westley perhaps...

For tonight's update, my tenants (who live in the main building next to my little carriage house) got their power back on today. I was supposedly included in that and really should have been. But from 0900 this morning to when I left for work at 1900, my meter box was still nonfunctional and in...

Hinged floorplate and stock trap, perhaps?
