Ish, >>>Well that is why amateurs or buyers of Red Ryders can't play. Get a real accurate .177 pump and pick a hair on their ass. I would never shoot if I might cause a blindness. Need be a shoot to kill, but never to cripple.<<<
My feeling about you tells me that. (I was going to say I know that about you, but it sounded a little presumptuous.) I think you're a shoot to kill guy, not a maimer or crippler, and I say that complimentarily. And shooting on a need basis. For me, with you, it goes without saying.
Some people, like me, are not so lucky or precise with weapons. My instinct is to pop a BB or something out at them, chuck a rock or noisemaker, but I have an uncanny habit of regretting my aim and fortune afterwards.
I was saying:
"But if it goes in their eye it will blind and maybe kill em. I look at every cat as being....oh nevermind."
I HATE it when people say "nevermind." One doesn't know if it's the rude nevermind or not. Worst nevermind is where they mean they won't waste their time or effort on you trying to explain to your pissant lesser brain or "standards."
That was a different, two part nevermind.
1). My 34 year old niece came running in to get me to see her new 1968 Lincoln Continental. Pretty cool.
2). My "nevermind" came from getting frustrated or stumped at being unable to express a thought clearly. I know that if I could explain the thought, you would obviously understand it. I think you're neither stupid, inadequate or closed minded. Kay?
3). (Yes, I know I said two.) I'm not a political animal person. People handle people "like me" with kid gloves (made from lambs) out of courtesy and a desire not to have their asses chewed off. In endless bickering and proselytizing. Legitimate concerns, but not in my case, and I don't need to be so lumped nor like it. I don't have problems with what other people do. I can't, so I don't. I have a real strong feeling you're the same way.
I don't like talking where these things come up, and it's only with trusted first class friends, that I will even voice my feelings or opinions. I have no desire to agitate people, no need for them to see things my way, and no need to convince or change them. I don't have an agenda and don't like to be thought of that way.
And I think this is a place where that's understood, and I'm not insinuating it's not, but I think a sentence like the above one I'm trying to explain makes me sound a way I'm not. And my perception of you and people here, a way they're not.
I don't like to be seen as rude or humorless. I would prefer to be seen as a dickheaded sycamore.
With nice, paint-by-number bark.
Maybe a squirrel house.
