    I've been wanting to pile into that topic, but keep restraining myself...

    Hmm. Maybe we need to Godwin that topic, and bring in a comparison somehow to the Fuehrer? Try to finally shut it down...

    Steve: That topic lead me to wish there was an "ignore topic" option, something to "hide" topics that have gone off the rails like that. I'm sure it sounds like a nice idea, but I'd also bet that:

    A) The site Devs have much more important things to work on

    B) It's nowhere *near* as easy as it sounds

    Unrelated and getting back off-topic here...

    Which do you folks think I should try to get the wife to do this Sunday? Michigan Renaissance Festival (ends next weekend) for which we have free passes, or Michigan Gun and Knife show out in Novi? Both are probably about an hour drive...

    Yeah, for heavy posters, removing a thread can be painful. I wish there was an ignore as well.

    I can lose some weight if it will help. 😀

    I'll contribute likewise to this cause.

    Dang...

    Now I'm going to have to leave it to the wife which one we go to Sunday (Saturday is booked.)

    Of course, the Ren Fest last weekend is next weekend, the Gun (Fun!) show is this weekend only. So maybe some gentle nudging is in order...

    If it were me, I'd go to the gun show. It doesn't come to Novi all that often and it's usually a big one, so it's worth the trip. I think that one has about 900 tables, which is bigger than just about any other one around. You do have one more weekend for Ren Fest.

    Thank you, Jason, for making me aware of the gun show in Novi. My wife is going up north for a women's retreat, so it's just my daughter and I think weekend. We had already planned a trip to the range, which is just north of Novi, so it's only logical that we go to the show. Hmmm...me at a gun show and no wife to tell me "no" to anything. This could turn into a very fun and expensive weekend. :-D:-D:-D

    Ooohhh! Now I need to figure out a way to keep the wife from going!

    Maybe finally get the other range-queen gun I've been wanting...

    But, yeah, we've decided to do the gun show Sunday, Ren Fest next weekend.

    Just remember that if you buy a new toy, you have to feed it. Some are hungrier than others. 😉

    Then again, an M230 would be fun. More fun would be a the electromagnetic rail gun. But I need a SHIP to fire that one. Then again, maybe I could get it mounted on a train. Hmmmm....

    I don't even need to click the link to know exactly what it is. Do you have the .44 or .50?

    Also, have you ever seen someone else shoot it in the late evening or at night? It puts out an impressive fireball for muzzle flash.

    The 20mm Oerlikon cannon they mounted on ships? Okay, I'm officially jealous.
