You might be in your 50's if ... The .22lr you learned to shoot with was a single shot Remington 5 series or Winchester 67 / 68 at Boy Scout summer camp.

I was an abused child. My dad was "playing" with his 22lr rifle and wizzed a shot right past a guy's head,that was in the woods he was shooting at.Apparently gramps didn't teach my dad to make sure he had a proper back stop.
So,I nevergot a 22 as a kid

But I had my red rider bb gun and never shot anyone's eye out

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Yikes ! Well if you are ever up this way , you can shoot my H&R 649 , My dad gave it to me on my 13th birthday.
So you can shoot a .22 that was a kids ... LOL

You might be in your 60s if you recall a box of 22 shells cost $0.25.
My Remington Nylon 11 taught me to aim each shot.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

I'd love to have one of those Remington Nylon 11's.
Cool rifle you have Rick.

I figured as much but I just had to go there.

 

[Flopsweat]

My understanding is that they made way more motorcycles than cars. I think they only made the Janus for a couple of years. Late 50's of course, which made the joke too easy.

[OutlawHoss]

You might older than you think if you grew up hearing from your Grandfather, a decorated Marine Veteran of WWII in the South Pacific, and Korea, have a swearing fit any time MacArthur's name was mentioned on the tv.


Then we'd watch The Benny Hill Show together.


Good times.

 

[rdb241]

lol...fixed, thanx





Also, who remembers "The Monty Python Show" on public TV? Years before any movies.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

Thats funny OutlawHoss ... My Granddad who served in the 11th Airborne in WW II , never had a kind word about MacArthur.
Andy

 

[rdb241]

Just like a true military leader. Nobody likes him but he kicked a$$ and helped win the war. Hell nobody liked Patton either, but he got the job done.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

I'm sorry but I disagree .
MacArthur was a grandstanding SOB who did not listen to his troop commanders in Korea.
I feel that MacArthur's actions in Korea brought the Chinese into the war earlier than what they were already intending to do.
No disrespect to you but a true military has the respect of his command not the fear of saying the wrong thing and being transfered out.
Andy

 

[rdb241]

Now your talking when he was older and senile. That is almost ten years after he kicked butt in the Pacific. His career was well over by then.

 

[Andy54Hawken]

I'm sorry but he was just a worthless in the Pacific as well.
I could list some reasons why I feel that way , but that would be way off thread topic.
But that is how I think, If you admire him , then good for you. It is nice to have a hero and someone to look up to.
