    only men are allowed to read now?

    Okay.... go ahead, sheesh.

    Just remember, inStyle & Vogue aren't technically considered literature. ;)

    I keep a copy of Italian Vogue between my mattress and box spring.

    Still working on Rant by Chuck Palahniuk.

    I only ever read his Fight Club after seeing the film (hadn't heard of him prior to that) - what's Rant like?

    My most recent book was The Charity Committee by Horace Silver (real name Jimmy Holmes) - it was banned for years because of legal action from the guy it featured in the book as being portrayed as no saint but finally a high court judge ruled against him because there was enough evidence to show he was a crime lord and the book has reappeared.

    Nice article on SA's AR-15. Not dumping anything that I have currently to own it, but worth checking out if in the marketed. Love that it chambers 5.56 NATO or .223 Rem. I shoot .223 mostly. And a good value in a $850 price range rifle. Worth a read.

    Is this springfields first venture into the AR platform territory.
    (anything that chambers/fires 5.56 NATO will also chamber/fire .223 Remington. the cases are literally identical by saami specs with exception of the thickness of the casing in certain areas)

    Except when you have politicans using a sum total of 8 brain cells; running the country: there will be regret over handing so much authoritarian power and allowing erosion of speech, privacy and freedom.
    The worst of it is - criminals who want to get hold of firepower can easily do so. As police rules change to allow every serving police officer to carry a taser which a recent change I believe is being considered/approved - will be definitely investing in more fire power to counteract possible apprehension. Yes there is a 5 year minimum term and 9 months per bullet (I think) but if the risk vs reward ratio is enough these people will not hesitate to carry and use.

    That's pretty funny.....

    Although, I haven't attended many Southside Chicago Mensa meetings on a Friday night.

    You haven't heard? The Mensa meetings are all taking place in British pubs over pints. Then off for a bit of curry after.

    I haven't attended a Mensa meeting in a long time.



    The regularly scheduled Mensa meeting time conflicted with my Bevis and Butthead re-runs.

    LOL.
    At a rate of 25 closing every week and the culture shifting since the millennial generation where alcohol consumption is at an all time low it won't be long for that stereotype to be a think of the past. I think the love of curry will remain; however. :)
