VIDEO (11 seconds): "Cat protects his (sic) dog friend." (With added stills for tactical analysis.)

CAVEAT: Calico is almost certainly female, of course. Only one in 100,000 are male, and they are incapable of breeding.

Yes, the calico is literally PULLING the ginger down off the high ground. Smart tactical move.


VIDEO: "Bitcoin may win the race to the bottom" -- But lead will win out in the end (includes an exchange I had on that subject).

Discusses gold, and comments discuss silver. But what about the most valuable metal, if stored in the right form: LEAD?

This fellow "@-" may not realize the situation: (LINK goes to my final reply pictured below)



I'm tired of putting up with personal evil in the name of "freedom."

Some well-meaning people may fall into the trap I describe, but that just means I'm actually better than them.

Brings a tear to your eyes, it's so damn beautiful -- VIDEO: "Little Birds attacks Somalis ( Black Hawk Down).wmv".

THE DAILY FUDD: E158: "A semi-caveat to fuddity: My replies to video on '7 Reasons You Need A Lever Action Rifle.'"




MY REPLIES:


1. MULTIPLE CALIBERS: True of most manual-action arms. Multiple caliber versions of the same model is true of most firearms. 2. AW BAN-BEATING: VERY LEGITIMATE REASON. Now you're making the point. 3. ACCURACY: Point applies to any manual-action. Speed is a separate matter. 4. AESTHETICS: Legitimate; court situation also goes to Point 2. 5. STILL VIABLE: True, indeed. But there is a CONTRADICTION in your statement. Most AW-ban states limits mag to 10 rounds. You mentioned a lever with a 14-round capacity. And yes, the mag limits apply to manual actions. (.22s with tubular mags are generally the only exception.) The "tactical" lever-actions really are interesting. 6. SLEEK: Correct. No extended mags or bolt handles. Good point. 7. VERSATILITY: Applies to most actions to some degree. DRAWBACKS: Less suited than bolts or self-functioning for military-type use, due to action being open to debris. And a personal note: I've never had good luck with them. But that's me.

My alternative video idea for Toto's "Africa," with two (three) possible endings -- Featuring original video and a specialized one.

IDEA:

Follows a two-vehicle detachment--probably Land Rovers with mounted FN MAGs--of Western (UN or not) troops ("peacekeepers" or not) carrying FALs (of course), four per vehicle. Left-wheel drive as concession to American market.

APPROXIMATIONS BELOW:

Generic FAL:


The detachment is going to the civilian airport to meet a "12:30 flight" carrying a mysterious female, dressed in white outfit, filmed on board from low-left side angle to only show her skirt and leg in whitish hose.

At one point early, the detachment stops and the commander--the lead singer/objective character--steps out of the shotgun position to talk an old Black gentleman, who mouths, "Hurry boy, it's waiting there for you." And they get back on the road, with crew lip-syncing. Another stop has them slow and spotlight a "wild dog," then continue. Then a sop to the bleeding-hearts with the lead thinking about "what he has become."

Then high-speed driving interspersed with performance scenes.

Then detachment arrives at airport. Lead and one other dismount (with rifles slung across their backs) to run into the terminal--"Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you." The mysterious woman is shown from same angle walking a bit saunter-style on heels through the airport, obviously to meet the lead.

TWO ENDING OPTIONS:
1. PRIME: The lead and the lady--very blonde, almost platinum--meet and embrace, some filler, and then the detachment takes the lady--apparently a diplomat-type--back to wherever in the Land Rovers, with lady in back having changed into field gear.

2. ALTERNATE (concession to theme of this blog): The lead and cohort meet the lady, who is carrying a pet carrier containing the lead's beloved long-haired female feline. He takes her out and hugs her. Then continues as in prime version, only with another trooper in shotgun and the lead in back with cat in carrier. (ALTERNATE OF ALTERNATE: The lady is in the other Land Rover.)

THE DAILY FUDD: E157: "VIDEO: 'Guns on the set?' -- John Schneider addresses film set procedures and live rounds; my brilliant commentary and solution."

20-minute video:

Retitled, "
Films & Firearms || Explaining The Age Old Protocol For Guns On Movie Sets" since I started this posting.


My brilliant commentary and solution:

"Who loaded the gun?" All the other problems could be sheer accidents or dumb shortcuts--not to excuse shortcuts. A live round (i.e., with lethal projectile) and a blank round (one that just makes a sound and fire, but not the lead projectile--though it can expel something dangerous, and Schneider noted) look different. Blanks often have crimped noses, looking almost like screwdriver bits. (LOL Some liberal once found some such bits and claimed they were "assault weapon" rounds!) Even most dummy rounds (totally inert) have a visual difference, as Schneider notes. Regarding dummy rounds: I had some dummy rounds for a firearm I was having problems with--a lever-action that didn't want to feed. I used the dummy rounds to work with it and try to sort the problem. There was no primer ("cap") in the rounds, so as to ensure I wouldn't mix them up with live rounds--and either risk an accident or have a dud in the event I had to actually fire it. So I know the difference. No studio would have dummy rounds with intact primers, period, and anyone with enough understanding of firearms to act even as a gopher for the props person or armorer will know the difference. I have long called for mandatory firearms training in high schools: 1. Safety; 2. Legalities; and 3. Actual shooting (not mandatory for those objecting due to religious scruples). If this were implemented, EVERYONE would know this sort of thing.
