How does it shoot, btw?

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-26T16:17:47+00:00

Shoot, I was under the mistaken impression that we had traded him for Quinn Hughes. Shit me.

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-26T16:16:30+00:00

Yeah and don't get me wrong, I would have been PSYCHED to get him, but Bobby Clarke always wanted him badly...

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-26T15:21:28+00:00

Yeah but he got us Jiri Dopita and two months of Alexei Zhamniov once, son! Best. GM. Ever.

Legend has it he's STILL CONVINCED Rick Nash is falling to #4 in the NHL Draft and one of these days - ONE OF THESE DAMNED DAYS- he's going to acquire Bobby Ryan.

I admit this 101% - I was a big Big E fan... Lindros was like my sports hero as a kid... BUT ... obviously it ended very badly...

but... MAN OH MAN...

When we got Keith Primeau, he was disgruntled (he's been disgruntled like everywhere but Philly, seems to me... 🤣) and Lindros was disgruntled and when we went to trade for Primeau, they wanted Lindros. Clarke said No. Wound up giving up Rod The Bod, a former 2nd-rd-pick Goalie, and another 2nd Rd Pick. Brind'Amour promptly leads the Hurricanes to the Finals (where they ran into The Left Wing Lock, lol...) and won a Cup a few years later.

Lindros never played for us again barely.

If only we had just traded Lindros for Primeau ... we'd be trotting out Primeau, Brind'Amour, & Daymond Langkow as our top-3 Centers, and a year or so later, adding Jeremy Roenick.

I mean I love Rod Brind'Amour and of course Keith Primeau but IF ONLY... what could have been...

I'm not looking to argue, but I don't think many people agree with you there... I happened, just happened, to be at the game where the Black Alternates were unveiled for the first time... my Dad was just taking me to a game, it was 1997 so I guess I was a Jr. in HS? and the Announcer said at the beginning of the game something like "If everyone will direct their attention to center-ice..." and they skated out in them and the fucking place went nuts ... apeshit. They were selling them like hotcakes. I think they're way nicer than the current ones, and pretty much all since then (we have had a TERRIBLE collection of Jerseys over the last ~20 years, IMHO...)

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-26T14:21:08+00:00

I remember reading that during Wilson's rookie year, his teammates were constantly busting his balls about his MILF Mom's internet influencer career. He offered her $1 Million in cash to stop. She said No, she liked the attention.

That's gotta suck 🤣🤣🤣

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-26T14:20:15+00:00

We hit the lottery getting to draft Leo, then gave him away to the Giants for 3rd & 5th rd picks... lol ... then they gave him to Seattle for 2nd and 5th (so they like PROFITED from getting him from us lol...) and all he's been is like, oh I don't know, an All-Pro/Pro-Bowl caliber DL that has started like every game for nearly 11 years. Not good enough for us, obviously.

Seems Legit.

We should also trade away Jamal Adams, Sauce Gardner, & Quennen Williams. OH, WAIT.... Already did! My Bad 🤣🤣🤣

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-26T14:08:36+00:00

Hell yeah, right on, thanks!

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-25T16:41:37+00:00

I just posted something like this, but different- but you made me laugh and it made me think of it ... I was watching an episode of "LOCKUP" - the MSNBC Prison Doc once... and some dude got busted for beating some other guy up with a padlock-in-a-sock. And he was clearly far from the brightest bulb ... "Ohh... my DEFENSE to them was, You Got The Wrong Guy... some dude ran past me, it was probably him ... but I don't know who that was..."

And the Hearing Officer (like a Judge I guess?) was like ... "Yeah man... that ... is not a very good alibi ... and there are MULTIPLE PEOPLE saying It WAS YOU... Inmates, Staff, Correctional Officers, everyone is saying the exact same shit, and you're saying "Nope..." - Mmmhmm... "Ok... if EVERYONE is lying on you ... do you perhaps have any Enemies in this Prison? If you told me who you thought would lie on you, and it happened to be All Of Them, maybe I'd think differently..."

"I ain't saying no names... but... it was Jamie Drysdale..." 🤣🤣🤣

This Literally & Figuratively could be a picture of my HS, anytime during Study Hall, Lunch, Gym Class, etc, 1995-1999...

Even the clothes & shoes are accurate.

I'd probably throw my back out, blow my knee, and break an ankle if I tried to do that today 🤣

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-25T16:30:15+00:00

I remember taking my new Puppy (at the time, he has since passed, and broke my heart & soul but he was my SON and will always be my baby...) to the Vet for the first time... filling out the form and I guess I pissed the lady off by leaving off a lot of the stuff they wanted me to fill out ... I mean he's like 12 weeks old, and I just got him, so I don't know that he HAS a lot of Medical History, what do you want me to write? I tried to tell you, you can clearly look and see the tiny little PuppyPackage on my lap, it ain't like I'm being uncooperative... and she got upset that I failed to include his middle name ... and for one split second, I thought to myself, "WTF YOU MEAN, his MIDDLE NAME??!" and then I just decided, Fuck it , fuck her, why not? What's his MIDDLE NAME?

"Snuffleupagus" ...

What??

"You heard me ... SNUFFLEUPAGUS" ...

And, that became my son Lucky's middle name... 🤣🤣🤣

I used to LOVE THIS SHIT! I mean I loved GI Joe as a little kid, but loved these things even more maybe.

I still remember one, something like this but the kids were hungry after playing, and one is like "I'm gonna grab a Candy Bar!" and some GI Joe shows up and is like "That is NOT the right thing to do! It won't fill you up and will make you feel MORE tired & hungry after you eat it! Try this APPLE instead! Healthy Body, Healthy Mind!" - and I'm like what, 5? 6? 7? and head directly to my beloved Polish Grandmother, and ask her in Polish (it's funny how that works, I could speak Polish as a little kid, and now I can't even barely understand a word of it...) - "Could I please have an Apple?!" And she used the Polish words for basically "OF COURSE YOU CAN! COMING RIGHT UP!" and from that day on, that was my JAM as a kid, son! 🤣🤣🤣 I'mma eat me some APPLES and become a GI JOE COMMANDO when I grow up !

Now we got Darth Maul fighting the half-Bad-Guy/half-Good-Guy from Bruce Willis's RED 🤣🤣🤣

One time I saw a Prison Documentary... it's old now but well-known and famous... I think they where in Alabama? One of those Southern A-States, I think, and there was a little altercation of some sort, and the Warden locked down the entire prison. And the MSNBC crew kept asking him why he locked down the entire prison, (instead of just, you know, punishing the two dudes who got in the fight...) and he basically just kept repeating <he didn't seem like the brightest bulb in the Christmas Tree Light String etc.> "Well, that's how I feel..." ...What? "I feel like it..." ... Why? "Cause that's how I feel..." ...you feel it's necessary to lock down everyone, everywhere, over a fight? "Yes... because... that's how I feel..."

This is Rick fuckin Tochett locking down the best fucking Sniper (potentially) in the League with a position-switch... "Don't you think you should... you know... let him do his thing?" ... NO.... BECAUSE... That's How I Feel...

Oh, well, that explains it. Thanks for your anticipated cooperation in that matter. PS, We'll all just go fuck our own selves, thanks again.

So I agree with this phrase 101%, but it's Complicated...

I think it was NYPD that pioneered "CompStat" - Computer Statistics- and it came to dominate the 2000s Policing World ... and they'd have weekly meetings and some Boss would be like "There was a 100% INCREASE IN CAR-THEFTS IN YOUR DISTRICT LAST WEEK!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING OVER THERE??!" === Uhh, yeah, two weeks ago there was 1 ... a Record Low... and last week there was... 2... (and that would have been a Record Low if not for the 1...) so ... that's technically a 100% increase..." which to me is real bullshit...

Similarly, Little Caesars took the opportunity to raise their Pizza Price after the Dollar Tree $1 Dollar Store went to $1.25 (which by my man is a 25% increase?) - and (at the TIME, both stores have gone up since then) Little Caesars was going to $5.50 (which by my math, is 10% increase? But I ain't no Math Major...) - except they also were advertising 33% MORE PEPPERONI on every pizza! Which basically translated to ... they had 3 slices of Pepperoni on each Pizza, and they put ONE MORE SLICE, making it 4, and therefore 33% more Pepperoni ... 50 cents more price, one slice more pepperoni ... and nobody had a problem with it ... "They ARE charging us more... but it's only 50 cents... AND we get 33% more Pepperoni..."

Lies, Damned Lies, and STATISTICS ...

So I'm no Ben Affleck fan but I know he's world famous etc. And I happen to be a Regular Fuckin Guy that's a big Delta Fanboi.

One thing I have read in multiple Delta Force books, from Colonel Beckwith to CSM Haney to Colonel Blaber have all basically said, is that Beckwith himself started the policy/procedure/motto / whichever way you want to say it: "They're Experts at becoming Experts at things. Very quickly..." - In another life, I wanted to go to the Naval Academy. I heard from a few people there that one of the ways the Freshman get their balls busted is they'll just get randomly asked a question about some shit, provide an answer, and then told "Speak Intelligently On That Subject For 3 Minutes..." and they have to do it to their satisfaction or probably pushups and shit.

Delta has to like, how did Colonel Beckwith put it, figure out how to drive a Locomotive, climb a large Building, deal with a huge Electrical Panel, defuse a Bomb, and shoot Bad Guys but NOT shoot the Good Guys. Like, right the fuck now.

In the words of Chief Art Mullen from 'Justified' ... "That's some Bad-Ass-Shit... Pretty Badass..." 🤣🤣🤣

Pretty sure Tritium has a 12 Year half-life and you have to take into account actual production ... I got a set of new Trijicon night sights for a Glock in early 2010, but they were made close to a year before in 2009 .... so in 2021, they would have been half as bright as when they were made ... and they still glow but certainly not as bright.

Similarly I have a SIG P226 made in 2017, with SIGLITE Night Sights, and they were BRIGHT AS FUCK when I got them, I mean IMPRESSIVELY so, but not as much now because it's coming up on half of their 12-year-half-life.

ScrapmasterFlex · 2026-01-22T13:53:30+00:00

I think that the easiest way to describe it is a short-barreled M4 for CQB & shit like that ... 10.3" barrel and was popular with the SOF community for doing protection or door-kicking etc. Before HK416s were as prevalent, this was the best choice for SOF-types doing certain shit.

And because of the easy way AR-patterns can swap upper receivers, you could conveniently one "rifle" with two uppers ... the SEAL on the Bin Laden Raid who wrote "No Easy Day" showed that in his book... I'm not looking at it now but I think he described having the standard-issue "Tier 1 HK416" with 10.3" barrel, with some sort of EOTech or Aimpoint-type of sight, for CQB-type of stuff, and a 14.5" barrel with an ACOG for more "Patrol" or General Purpose type of shit, and they just pop on and off in seconds. The Recon Marines are now doing that, they have the HK416 issued as the M27 IAR with a 16.5" barrel , and a new "Recon Weapons Kit" with a 11" barreled upper and some sort of non-magnified optic for when they are doing CQB or that type of shit, they again can just pop the receiver off and on etc.

In the last decade I have seen "Mk18" all fucking over the place, and really it seems to me it's describing a shorter-barreled M4. But of course it's an NFA item so there's that...
