Interesting combination.
A hammer AND a prybar to a gunfight.
And combining the two still didn’t help him prevail.
Worthy of addition to the 3″ three ring loose leaf binder set of T2NB2AGF.
Another data point in my assertion that nothing good happens after midnight.
Even if the survivor was totally innocent (“honey I’m going to the corner for some milk, we’re out”), well, you see what happened anyway.
Thought you’d like that, Tox. We’ve had one or t’other, but no combo that I recall. Dumbass shoulda used the bar to pry his head out of his ass and he might not of gotten a hammer dropped on him. Oh well…live and learn…oops…too late for him.
The ferals of Ferguson “Show Me” that I have reason to go back thru there.
“There’s no legitimate use for a gun like this.” You’re right Chief…get something in a caliber that starts with a “4”.
What!?…No pic of The Farmgirl? Pity. I understand that she is not only a cutie pie but also knows her way around a kitchen.
Sheesh! Mr Donnovan, Gray is not only your name, not only a color, it’s also an attitude (be the gray man). You flunked. Enjoy your time in PMITA prison. Hopefully you’ll learn how to be the “gray man” there.
