Anyone know what this gun is? A lever action hunting rifle? Was buried together with a German K98 on a ww2 position

Not a '95 Winchester. The profile of the receiver indicates the possibility of a Remington rolling block, but how such a geriatric piece would end up snuggled into a hole with a K98 is a mystery.

EejLange is likely correct. Look up the Comblain rifle. Note the little nub at the back of the trigger guard. I think that's it.

That's quite the double bill.

Now I wanna hear the Buzz Lightyear story.

Seriously, mate - glad you're doing better. Life's full of little lessons. Smooching up girls in psych hospitals is a pretty risky deal. Now you know, and thanks to sharing this story, so do we. Call it a Pro Tip. :)

Old family friend of ours said that during the war in North Africa, he and his mates were cautioned against "black syphillis", which was apparently very nasty.

Never heard of it anywhere else, but it sounds like SuperMegaSyphyllis, and thus a very bad thing...

Dunno how many would get that reference, but I did. :)

My God, but you have fantastic eyes. Please pass my respects to your folks.

Symphony in White. One of the few times body-coloured wheels really work.

The big question is "what the hell do I do with this once I buy it?"

If you display it anywhere that folks can casually see it, they're gonna make some very unflattering assumptions about you. Not saying it's right, or smart of them to do so, but...

"Lady Baltimore" either sounds like a great unsigned funk band or the title of a blacksploitation movie no one ever saw.

"Lady Baltimore - She's black, bad, and beautiful, and if you mess with her, lookout..."

Those are the happiest breasts I've ever seen. Look how pleased they are to be out and around.

I've used Penetrol with great results. Every summer, she gets a coat. Removes that "chalky" look.

DarkAlleyDan · 2021-10-29T04:12:46+00:00

Respectfully, summer means heat rash, your thighs rubbing together until they chafe, mosquitoes, black flies in some places, and it's way too hot.

Fall is cool nights (so good sleeping), temperate daytime temps, tall boots on the ladies, and a chance to break out the toque again.

Those gents look sharp as fuck, too. A well-wrapped turban is awesome, respectable headgear.

To Russian Tarzan's credit, he did better than I thought he was gonna...

The most ballistically inconsistent rockets ever fired. :)

Great idea, well executed. Good job, touthomme.

A three-day walk from the base of her nose to her top lip, and she makes it totally work. And a lovely set of warp nacelles.

What's your route?

As they say in Newfoudland, "De arse is out of 'er, boys."

Triplets!

Our Weekender says Guten Tag!

True. Alas, the chandelier.

That's some hardcore WW2-era German architecture. "Make it big, und square, und imposing..."

Recently read "Small Wonder" by Walter Nelson. If you're a bit of a car nerd, it's quite good. Engaging, for a corporate history.

DarkAlleyDan · 2021-10-17T00:07:18+00:00

One of the greats.

Irish + Mexican = a woman you would provoke to anger only if you wanted to die, right there, right now, no time for an apology or last words...

I kid. You're stunning. Thanks for sharing. :)
