why I won't buy a k3 (Warning: Satire Thread)

Racer, I am trying to remember the movie in which the line "Don't bring a knife to a gun fight" appeared. I am thinking it was "The Magnificent Seven." Any help?

I cannot remember the first time I heard the line in a movie, in fact I seem to recall that someone uttered that line when I was much younger and there was some sort of conflict at a keg party one weekend.

I also recall a quote, and thought it was Ben Franklin, but again, the origin escapes me. Here it is:

"I carry it (a gun) in hopes that I may never need it for the reason that I carry it."

For sure, the discussion about this subject could seriously derail this thread (as if this thread has not already been completely and hopelessly derailed) and likely even get us cross threaded with the rules here about discussions of things political.

Any way you slice it, a K3 would be of little help in such matters. And hociR should tread lightly when in my presence, for I never will make it clear if I do, or do not, exercise my 2nd amendment rights.

And it is breakfast time now, so how about some thick farm sliced bacon, fresh eggs, and hash browns with onions and shredded Tillamook cheddar cheese on them?

Mmmmmm . . . . . . . . . . tasty!

Were they rented, or will you have to pay to replace them?

That's the part that sucks. Even though you don't own the directv box, you get to pay a $99-199 lease down payment plus I think it's $6-10/month per receiver. The modem I owned with no monthly BS fee from AT&T. But since I'm NOT paying directv $99-199 dollars for the privilege of continuing their service, I decided to upgrade to Uverse internet. Since I have to spend $100 bucks on a modem, may as well go to the newer, supposedly better, service. And cancel directv.

Oh wow!

Substitute American for the Mozzarella directly across the hot hashbrowns. Add 'rooms and a bit of salsa.

Proof that we are a divers and eclectic bunch. And our world allows for the ultimate satisfaction of each and every individual taste.

Tina, so sorry that you have regrets regarding your choice this morning. But hey, donuts and pigs are good too!

And there is always tomorrow.

Hold-on now. Yes, the recipe has oreilles but it also has pieds. And why three of each? Where do you find three-legged, three-eared cochons? Only in la belle France, peut-etre.

Hmmm. Now, according to Step 2, I'm going to need trois femmes, one with only one leg. And I haven't rolled stockings off a lady in many, many years. As I recall, just getting one of them to hold still was a bit of a chore. Has the technique changed in the 21st century?

Well, I would be one of the last persons to ask that one to ... got married last century, so kind of "outdated" as well ... J
