Wife says Iam not to have any more fun. Can someone show me the way to the (block forum)

That reminds me of a story....

Maybe we should have an acronym that means no jacking on this thread. Well that doesn't work into a good one. Jacking Now Allowed (JNA) doesn't have that ring. So let's do the acronym part first... SOTY (Stay On Topic Y'all). Yeah that'll work.

Lets see, " thread jacking/off topic...(*please read) - SOTY"

Wow, that's kool.

[PaiN]

Screw it......
You all are right....(look at this thread for cripes sake ) ... Kahr Talk is what it is, I guess, which is better than the alternative.

btw: I said this was nothing personal, hell I'm guilty of it too. So if you PM'd me on the subject I'm deleting it.

I hope you'll read my PM before you delete it.

Ligthen up a tad PaiN. no one here is perfect. Just read the good stuff here that you want to read and put the other on hold or delete. I never shopped around on this forum, if it wasn't on the main menue when I got on line, I didnt go hunting for anything. Might have missed alot but I'll never know that either.

Subject: This is an Incredible story!





In 1986, Peter Davies was on holiday in Kenya after graduating from Northwestern University .
On a hike through the bush, he came across a young bull elephant standing with one leg raised in the air.
The elephant seemed distressed, so Peter approached it very carefully.
He got down on one knee, inspected the elephants foot, and found a large piece of wood deeply embedded in it.
As carefully and as gently as he could, Peter worked the wood out with his knife,
after which the elephant gingerly put down its foot.
The elephant turned to face the man, and with a rather curious look on its face, stared at him for several tense moments.
Peter stood frozen, thinking of nothing else but being trampled.
Eventually the elephant trumpeted loudly, turned, and walked away.
Peter never forgot that elephant or the events of that day.

Twenty years later, Peter was walking through the Chicago Zoo with his teenaged son.
As they approached the elephant enclosure, one of the creatures turned and
walked over to near where Peter and his son Cameron were standing.
The large bull elephant stared at Peter, lifted its front foot off the ground, then put it down.
The elephant did that several times then trumpeted loudly, all the while staring at the man.
Remembering the encounter in 1986, Peter could not help wondering if this was the same elephant.
Peter summoned up his courage, climbed over the railing, and made his way into the enclosure.
He walked right up to the elephant and stared back in wonder.
The elephant trumpeted again, wrapped its trunk around one of Peter legs
and slammed him against the railing, killing him instantly.

Probably wasn't the same damn elephant.

now this is what I would call thread jacking,m but it was cool sent to me by a real jack off to.

KahrTalk is a place you can come to and have a conversation with friends and friendlies about Kahrs or any other make of guns. If I'm talking to a friend, the conversation never stays with what was started. In fact I never know where the conversation will end up but that's normal. Now add 2 or 4 or 27 more people into the mix and you've just stirred up a pot of go crazy. But that's what I love about this site. Our problems always get resolved even if it is in a round about way. I say don't change a thing, just my opinion and I'm not tryin to step on anyone else's toes, except Bawanna, Jocko, Dietrich and O'dell and maybe a couple others who will remain nameless.

oh, and for what it's worth, I do agree with pain about the firearms specific threads (the actual legit ones....if there is a definition of such) going off topic... at least until the OP has taken it off topic....or the original question has been beat like a dead horse..... or until I have lost my concentration to the point I can't remember what the topic was.....

now, for my sensitive (actually I spelled it sinsitive before I checked the spelling) side - we do need to take it light on the new members when they post legit concerns, and not stray away from their intent.

Am I rambling again?

Blame Bawanna. He woke me up.

Oh yeah, blame the hearing impaired wheelchair derelict. Actually thats not a bad plan really. I'm the blame guy at work too. I just tell yup I did, so sorry, won't happen again. If they ask for an explanation I play dumb which just comes natural for me.

Remember the Scenting posts? Stuff happens.

I am a member at a medical site I used to frequent. It had a unique feature in that the entire site was in one general forum. Not being used to that I made the suggestion that members would be better served if they broke the site into a few different forums. Holy Molly you would have thought I stole their whiskey, insulted their wives, made a pass at their daughters and worst of all, kicked their dog!

I made my peace with them and over a years saw this play out at least a dozen times. Along the way I finally began to appreciate why they did it that way. It wasn't like a hall with a lot of individual rooms led by stiffness and politeness, but it was a bunch of folks of both genders (perhaps more) sitting around an old pot belly stove chewing the fat.

They would discuss the serious stuff but along the way someone would say hi to another and ask how their granddaughter was getting along and did that thing with the doctor work out for them? Then others would chime in and the thread drifted a bit. Someone dropping in would ask or offer something about the original topic and that would bounce around then drift again.

Once I got to know the players it just "felt right" and I enjoyed the personalities along with the education. Just took a while and some initial patience. A little like some of the novels I'm reading these days where 200 pages are introducing characters and locals before getting down to the main plot. You kinda need the first part to appreciate the second.
