My wife and I picked up this today:

Boomstick.

So after the kids go to bed, it's safety, weapons handling, loading and cleaning drills.

It was also my daughters 6th birthday today, so cake, pizza and presents. I'm already paying for the pizza with a couple trips to the porcelain throne.

I didn't know you were into black powder pieces. I don't know much about them, but it's a pretty gun.

It's my first one but I find the idea interesting and the repetitive motion of loading should be relaxing.

How long does it actually take to load one?

With pellets and a sabot round, you can do a few rounds a minute. With the classic loose powder and patched ball, one round every two minutes or so. More if your swabbing out between shots for more accuracy.

You can even get speed loading tubes (you pre-measure the powder/pellets and put the round in on top) to cut down on the loading or use a sabot with a sprue on the back to stack pellets on. I'm not expecting any great speed out of it as I have no intention to enter competitions.

Trying to find a buyer for my 55 gallon fish tank and someone selling a 30 gallon on craigslist.

Welcome to DITL bud.

What are you going to do with the extra 25 gallons of water?

A close RL friend of mine is setting me up on a date this Sunday (he'll find a date of his own and come with us). Her name is Adrienne, and she's a model who loves geeky guys.

Oh, if I had a quarter for every model I've met who loves geeky guys... I'd have a dime.

well good luck CPH, but if it's too good to be true it probably is....

and models who like geeks is definitely too good to be true.

Well, I can say that this good friend of mine has known Adrienne for a few years. He's vouched for her.

Actually, once you hit your mid twenties, it's not that uncommon. The models (who have some semblance of an IQ, at least) are looking for something more. And then it really becomes Revenge of the Nerds.

Besides, us nerds don't use 'roids, so we never shrunk our.... brains.

And most of us spent so much time studying and researching sex, that not to surprisingly, we tend to be rather talented in the sack.

I'll never forget this classic coversation I had with a girl from my past

Her: "WOW. I would have been all over you in high school if I knew you could do that. So would ******,*******, and ******. How the hell did you learn that?

Me: "The Kama Sutra"

Her: "The Kama Who-tra?"
