I don't say much on the forums but can't resist this thread. For 18 almost 19 years now I have been an over the road truck driver. It has it's ups and downs at times just like any other job. The up side is that I have been too all 48 states and parts of Canada, and if I am in the right area at the right time I stop in and pickup stuff from people that I purchase. (Right Mike?) Sure theres no home life or social life but most of my friends only call me when they want something anyways not just to hang out. Thats another reason I don't post much here don't have a laptop (not a rich truck driver yet).

I am sure most of your guys have seen this 10 minutes video, but if you haven't enjoy ( always seems like I really don't have much to contribute but I am always looking for stuff)

Ok last one... Due to the climate of political correctness now pervading America, Kentuckians, Tennesseans and West Virginians will no longer be referred to as 'HILLBILLIES.' You must now refer to them as APPALACHIAN-AMERICANS . And furthermore HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT WOMEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT: 1 She is not a 'BABE' or a 'CHICK' She is a ' BREASTED AMERICAN.' 2. She is not 'EASY' She is 'HORIZONTALLY ACCESSIBLE.' 3. She is not a 'DUMB BLONDE' She is a 'LIGHT-HAIRED DETOUR OFF THE INFORMATION SUPERHIGHWAY.' 4. She has not 'BEEN AROUND' She is a 'PREVIOUSLY-ENJOYED COMPANION.' 5 She does not 'NAG' you She becomes 'VERBALLY REPETITIVE.' 6. She is not a 'TWO-BIT HOOKER' She is a 'LOW COST PROVIDER.' HOW TO SPEAK ABOUT MEN AND BE POLITICALLY CORRECT: 1. He does not have a 'BEER GUT' He has developed a 'LIQUID GRAIN STORAGE FACILITY.' 2. He is not a 'BAD DANCER' He is 'OVERLY CAUCASIAN.' 3. He does not 'GET LOST ALL THE TIME' He ' INVESTIGATES ALTERNATIVE DESTINATIONS.' 4. He is not 'BALDING' He is in 'FOLLICLE REGRESSION.' 5. He does not act like a 'TOTAL ***' He develops a case of RECTAL-CRANIAL INVERSION.' 6. It's not his 'CRACK' you see hanging out of his pants It's 'REAR CLEAVAGE.'

Not really a joke but a **** good story... Subject: Black Robbers By far the best email i've read so far....For anyone who didn't see David Letterman's take on this:(And it's a true story...) On a recent weekend in Atlantic City, a woman won a bucketful of quarters at a slot machine. She took a break from the slots for dinner with her husband in the hotel dining room. But first she wanted to stash the quarters in her room. "I'll be right back and we'll go to eat,"she told her husband and carried the coin-laden bucket to the elevator. As she was about to walk into the elevator she noticed two men already aboard. Both were black. One of them was tall...very tall...an intimidating figure. The woman froze. Her first thought was: These two are going to rob me. Her next thought was: Don't be a bigot, they look like perfectly nice gentlemen. But racial stereotypes are powerful, and fear immobilized her. She stood and stared at the two men. She felt anxious,flustered and ashamed. She hoped they didn't read her mind but Gosh, they had to know what she was thinking!!! Her hesitation about joining them in the elevator was all too obvious now. Her face was flushed. She couldn't just stand there, so with a mighty effort of will she picked up one foot and stepped forward and followed with the other foot and was on the elevator. Avoiding eye contact, she turned around stiffly and faced the elevator doors as they closed. A second passed, and another second,and then another. Her fear increased! The elevator didn't move. Panic consumed her. My God, she thought, I'm trapped and about to be robbed! Her heart plummeted. Perspiration poured from every pore. Then one of the men said, "Hit the floor." Instinct told her to do what they told her. The bucket of quarters flew upwards as she threw out her arms and collapsed on the elevator floor. A shower of coins rained down on her. Take my money and spare me, she prayed. More seconds passed. She heard one of the men say politely, "Ma'am, if you'll just tell us what floor you're going to, we'll push the button." The one who said it had a little trouble getting the words out. He was trying mightily to hold in a belly laugh. The woman lifted her head and looked up at the two men. They reached down to help her up. Confused, she struggled to her feet. "When I told my friend here to hit the floor," said the average sized one, "I meant that he should hit the elevator button for our floor. I didn't mean for you to hit the floor, ma'am." He spoke genially. He bit his lip. It was obvious he was having a hard time not laughing. The woman thought: My God, what a spectacle I've made of myself. She was humiliated to speak. She wanted to blurt out an apology, but words failed her. How do you apologize to two perfectly respectable gentlemen for behaving as though they were going to rob you? She didn't know what to say. The three of them gathered up the strewn quarters and refilled her bucket. When the elevator arrived at her floor they then insisted on walking her to her room. She seemed a little unsteady on her feet, and they were afraid she might not make it down the corridor. At her door they bid her a good evening. As she slipped into her room she could hear them roaring with laughter as they walked back to the elevator. The woman brushed herself off. She pulled herself together and went downstairs for dinner with her husband. The next morning flowers were delivered to her room - a dozen roses. Attached to EACH rose was a crisp one hundred dollar bill. The card said:"Thanks for the best laugh we've had in years." It was signed; Eddie Murphy, Michael Jordan

Another blonde joke... Two blonde girls were working for the city public works department. One would dig a hole and the other would follow behind her and fill the hole in. They worked up one side of the street, then down the other, then moved on to the next street, working furiously all day without rest, one girl digging a hole, the other girl filling it in again. An onlooker was amazed at their hard work, but couldn't understand what they were doing. So he asked the hole digger, "I'm impressed by the effort you two are putting into your work, but I don't get it - why do you dig a hole, only to have your partner follow behind and fill it up again?" The hole digger wiped her brow and sighed, "Well, I suppose it probably looks odd because we're normally a three-person team. But today the girl who plants the trees called in sick. " I've not checked this out, but it sure is funny!! Lawyers should never ask a Mississippi grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In a trial, a Southern small -town prosecuting attorney called his first witness, a grandmotherly, elderly woman to the stand. He approached her and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know me?' She responded, 'Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a boy, and frankly, you've been a big disappointment to me. You lie, you cheat on your wife, and you manipulate people and talk about them behind their backs. You think you're a big shot when you haven't the brains to realize you'll never amount to anything more than a two-bit paper pusher. Yes, I know you.' The lawyer was stunned. Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, 'Mrs. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?' She again replied, 'Why yes, I do. I've known Mr. Bradley since he was a youngster, too. He's lazy, bigoted, and he has a drinking problem. He can't build a normal relationship with anyone, and his law practice is one of the worst in the entire state. Not to mention he cheated on his wife with three different women. One of them was your wife. Yes, I know him.' The defense attorney nearly died. The judge asked both counselors to approach the bench and, in a very quiet voice, said, 'If either of you idiots asks her if she knows me, I'll send you both to the electric chair.'

If you got a few minutes the History on the Fed is interesting. Makes me wonder who is working for who http://www.wtv-zone.com/Mary/BIGGESTSCAMINHISTORY.HTML

Well the more I look at the picture on the right the more it seems to me that the ribbed tubing was bigger than the gun and that was some sorta rigging to hold it in place as the "gap" between the gun and the tube. Could it be something as simple as clothes hanger bent in shape to hold the ribbing in place, as well as the sling? That is where the blue wire, string would come into play to tie it altogether. Or could it be that the LDS is kicking in again and I am just seeing things?

Man Ward what would look good on a T-Shirt... even better I got a great idea for something to be used with that but i can't draw worth a ****...stick figures is about the best it gets here (if anybody can draw send me a PM and I'll shoot my idea your way)

Nice congrats on 100.

That pretty much covers my thought on it as well, Mike. Anybody by chance see that show on History Channel "Mail Call" where they had a lewis gun and Lee cut either a pumpkin or watermelon to pieces. very nice

A tip of the Lid too you, the TLC put into your pack really show nice work

When I posted it, will be nice to see the finished version. Sorry guess i didn't say it right, meant seeing it all done with drums and scopes...

Very nice weapon. Will be nice to see the finish version.

Just a thought maybe you should get a couple figures Mike, sign them, put them on E-bay showing your picture that they used. Seeings how you are not going to "get anything" for the use of your picture and try to make a buck or two off your new found fame. I think unless your part of 501st or MEPD most people don't have a clue where that picture came from... just thinking out loud Why should LFL and Hasbro make all the cash off your dedication and time put into your armor. Should of had you number mine as #2 and the date, what was I thinking

I bought a mini-mike and drove to Maryland to have Mike sign it for me... was able to talk with MIke for about 45 minutes then well time to head for the house.

Seems like all's you need is a shoe box full of 100's and this baby could be yours. http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/detail/mg15_4.htm

I bought some from him on E-Bay on April 3rd and still haven't recieved them nor does my e-mail get a responce..I would not get anything from this guy $75.00 down the drain try this place... http://www.militarytour.com/Reproductio ... rPouch.htm Got them in less than a week

Me and my Sister, I mean wife would be there but just my luck. That is the same week of "The White Trash Expo" in Kentucky and I already bought tickets. So maybe next time

Well i don't know if this will help you any with your quest but i'll add my 2 cents worth to the cause... http://www.germanmilitaria.co.uk/mg34.htm Hope this helps...if not can i get my 2 cents back?

Figured you would like the price on it...lol Didn't they use to go for about 250?

Was looking around tonight and found this... http://www.deactivated-guns.co.uk/detail/sterling_3.htm

It's a sick thought that after 30 years, props can be made that look just as good if not better that the stuff used in the original flick... BTW Mike sweet lookin packs

Is it just me or does anybody find it strange that a Japanese guy is telling us about a British weapon?

Not really sure why the price is so high on some maybe it's the "weathering" effect (lol)all that scientific research costs money. Mainly posted for the Norway pouches because at times those seem to be harder to find and they had those others as well and couldn't leave those out. I seem to have a hard time finding things at IMA-USA and this site was a breeze to look through. Marstar seems to sold out all the time as well.

If anybody is looking this place makes Repo ammo pouches. If anybody else posted this site a while back sorry for dancing on your toes. Scroll about mid-way down to get past the german uniforms http://www.militarytour.com/Reproductio ... rmrepo.htm They also have these as well http://www.militarytour.com/Reproductio ... rPouch.htm
