I belive this is an urban legend, can't be done, like getting the damn thing to stop flashing 12:00

That I really don't know. Probably not too long though, I keep a rag treated with wax in my cleaning kit and just wipe it down after use, sorta like a silicone cloth would be used.

Oh come now RumbaRue, who could poss ably be such a human dreg as to that? Oh excuse me, MY FORUM NEEDS ATTANSHUN, gotta run love.

I feel like it.......

the alarm idea makes sense to me also, the base was just a standoff to give some way to mount it to what was being secured. I thought as a weapon, you could hold in your left hand like you would hold the forestock of a rifle and touch it off with a punk or match. It still kinda looks like something was broken off the rear portion of the base/stock. I just keep flashing back to the German pistol I saw at the Tower of London display. This weapon had what looked like 5 or 6 cigar tubes on the end of a 3 foot metal pole. You would fire, rotate and fire again then the gun became a mace. Just the principle of operation seemed to make sense.

Another thing that always bothered me at Faire was Scotsmen carrying katanas like the movie "Highlander" gave some historic fact to this? I've been to Scotland, I've seen Claymores, basket hilted claymores, norman swords, french falcatas, even saw a scramsax, all authentic, but never encountered a katana.

In deep water

Is there a story attached to this one?

It lasts a good time but it will show finger prints immediatly when touched, but they wipe right off and I've actualy not cleaned my S/S pistols for a day or two with handprints on them and they wiped off leaving no trace.

I forgot my best one!!!! Back in the days when Western PC was top of the computer world, 1985 or 86 I think, I worked for a company called Albright Computers in Huntington Beach. I did installs and connections at peoples offices. I rec'd a call from a gentleman who apparently didn't speak English very well and had a heavy Asian accent. After a bit I learned he worked for a company where an install had just been completed and the cleaning crew had just left. All he said was "Computer gone" I asked if the computer, monitor, et al was plugged in and he said yes. I asked him to turn on the computer, he did and said, "computer gone" I asked if he could see the monitor, he said yes I asked what it said, he said "computer gone" The business was about 10 minutes away in costa mesa so I hopped in my 1973 Ford Pinto and went to see what was up. I arrived to find the cleaning truck abandoned in the middle of the parking lot with a string of computers behind it all connected together with coaxial cable. When the crew finished dressing the cables and were repacking their truck the didn't cut the last run of cable, tossed the box into the truck and drove away, pulling all 5 PC's out the door. We never located the cleaners or the truck keys.

My toys, so far Heres the start, I'm going to purchase a brace of Queen Annes in about a month, I hope.

Drill and practice make all the difference in the world Lovely LadyBarbossa, you'd be surprised that 14 infantrymen can enter a helicopter with all their equipment in under 10 seconds after drilling for about an hour. They trained hard being their lives depended on it. And I'm sure the sight could easily be use on land, actually I bet that's what it was originally designed for. Beautiful piece of workmanship.

'lo folks, I work in facilities maintenance for the Irvine Company at the Irvine Spectrum Center, an open air mall. My scope of responsibility is to maintain the buildings and attractions, I work for the mall, not at the mall. I had a lady chew me out tonight because the payphone wasn't where she thought it should be. I assured her I'd have a word with SBC about it. Had another lady become totally irate about the fact that the pants she just purchased at Jeany were 30% less at the store 1 door down. I work for neither of these stores. A manager of Old Navy called my manager and complained that I wasn't being very helpful. My manager called me to ask what I was asked to do. The Old Navy manager had asked me to unload a truck container and store it in back of his store, my manager chewed this guy a new one. A lady dropped her Platinum wedding ring down a storm drain and I climbed down into it, retrived her ring and returned it to her and all she said was, "it's dirty" and walked away. I was clearing an empty store and preparing to black out the windows when a man walked in and asked " are you open" I stood there slack-jawed at this. I was broad-sided in my bright yellow electric utility cart while carrying 30, orange, 4 foot tall, traffic cones in the back and the lady threatened to sue because she didn't see me, in the middle of the street, with the strobes flashing right next to the stop sign she ran. Never heard back from her? Strange thing is, I kinda look forward to these folks, they make me feel like a genius.

So do I!!!!!

My wife would have taken credit for it, Moral of this story: Don't piss off Mamma when she's got a sword. Oooops my fanny, the word "repetedly" comes up in this story. The words " eventualy" and "kill him" should have showed up too.

Maybe its a one shot, one hit? Just don't confuse the order of operation
