He did fall in love that day, but, i'm not sure if it was the gun or he just loves being photographed in pink
Heck Michele, I fell in love even before I took the first picture of you in your corset!

Had nothing to do with the pink XD on your side though.

Huh? Exactly WHAT were you holding young man? There will be no more talk like that on this forum!

Now go wash your mouth out with soap.

P.S. And disinfect your keyboard.

LOL! I can think of several jocular replies, but I will refrain.

Suffice it to say that when the CLIP POLICE get here you will know.

P.S. We'll still be friends. And you'll never say the word CLIP again in your life unless you are referring to paper clips. Even then you will think twice!

The more I think about it...

First you complained because I told our friends how good you look in a corset Michele.

Next, you'll get upset when I go for a ride on my Harley & don't come back for several days. Sheesh!

I still think we can work this out Michele. Just don't ever mention the lawn mower. Now that would be cruel & unusual punishment!

You could call it a banana, a big thing with bullets in it, a kinky sex toy (Michelles Favorite). Just don't call it a CLIP. Where the heck is the CLIP POLICE when you need them.

I agree with the 38spl. 158gr lead wad cutter being the best round for the 38spl. I have my S&W 49 chocked full of them with 2 speed strips for reloads.
