graycgYeah man,

<Hellrazor>Thats what happens when you clean your gun too often and you get high from Hoppes.

ricciardelliActually the pictures posted here are the ones posted on my website. I had just finished around 4 days of 22-hour-per-day work on fixing a crashed computer...
Oh, and I made sure the .357 was empty before I "shot" that one...
PS...it is more of a grimace than a smile...

<Hellrazor>Would have been easier to build a new PC then fix that one if it took that long.

POPSteve:
Did you load that 357 with a Sierra Matchking?

HobieSteve,
You've got a great site with lots of useful, well presented information but...
That pic is unflattering to both you and the users of your site. It is inflammatory and a possible weapon for use against those of us who think shooting is fun. It is also disappointing, but I guess I don't know you well at all.
![[Eek!]](images/icons/shocked.gif)
Please take it down.
For those who don't know what the talk is about:

Believe it or not, I think this is better than the picture discussed.

ClarkI keep looking at that picture to see what is wrong, but all I can see is that he has not shaved, but it is the best he has ever looked.

TCLouisSure glad I used his loading data BEFORE I saw the picture.
NOT likely I would use the data or pass along any of Steve's other wonderful pages if that was my first impression.

Well, ya see, I just built this one about a year ago. But...if you wanna send me the $3,000 to build another one, I'll send you my address...oh, by the way, I only accept certified bank checks.

Tell ya what...when you get your website, and it is as big as my website, or as popular, then you can also post whatever picture you want.
Until then, just use the data...

packratSteve, I know that look...I called it mid-terms and finals!
22 October 2003, 01:23
HobieSteve,
That's better! Thanks. Whew, I'd thought you'd gone off the deep end there!

Who says you don't have a sense of humor?

NotRicochetI'm thinking the look may come from smoking a cigarette that burns with a BLUE glow.

WHELENATICSteve,
Us Montanan's are ones to be reckoned with and taken seriously. Keep up the good work on your site. You can't judge a book by it's cover.

<phurley>Steve ---- That looks like me after an all nighter of reloading, the day before I leave for Colorado Elk hunting. I always refer to your pages, and will continue to, even post picture.
![[Wink]](images/icons/wink.gif)
Good shooting.
22 October 2003, 12:31
sakofanSteve, I have posted this many times but, your website in all it's glory is like a gospel to me.
I reference your info at least, every other day
..sakofan..

W. WilsonI took the plunge and decided to see the pic for myself. After reading the above posts I thought I would be properly prepared. I was wrong....

rogerinnebI dunno. I have to admit I listened more to Kim Komando on the radio once I saw a picture of her....Ann Coulter too for that matter. There's even a picture of her (Ann) shooting an air rifle on her site...A long legged, blonde, wealthy conservative who's smart an AND shoots.....*sigh*

B17GHey,
Alot of people show up to work looking just like that on Monday morning. In Oregon, no one would think anything of it.
Especially in Josephine County Oregon. At our local court house the only way to tell the difference of the arrested and the witnesses is who is wearing the handcuffs.
Like Packrat said, Looks like Final Exam times when I was in college.
rogerinneb: I'm with you on Anne Coulter. Not the best looking woman in the world, but not bad either, and the rest of the package do make her kinda desirable. Will take her any day over a gorgeous "liberal democrate". Never thought I would be old enough that someone's political views would have to be part of the package.
Am I that old, or is the country that F*&^%Ked up?

recoiljunkyHA HA HA!
I think both of the pictures are hilarious!
Bravo!
24 October 2003, 09:22
ricciardelliWell, I hope all of you who did not appreciate the last two pictures are happy now!
I guess that those of you who complained have either never had a bad day, let alone a bad week, or else you just don't know how to appreciate genius.
Seems that everyone who posts a picture always shows themselves in their hunting best, or with their "dream rifle", or a huge trophy head...well guys, I got news for y'all...
I have them kinda pictures also, but that just ain't the way that EVERY DAY goes.
As for my sense of humor...I used to have one...but this stinking 'puter is driving me nuts!
In addition, it has caused me to lose more than a week of antelope hunting (but that is no biggie...who the hell wants to go huntin' when it is 90 degrees outside, and the uniform of the day is flip-flops, t-shirt and cut-offs?).

Anvil63I personally like the picture. You're grizzled, unshaven, but not beat, with the look of a man that tackled a difficult and came out on top

4X4SNEAKSteve, have you shot that antelope yet? I grew up in Wolf Point and it was never to hot, or cold, to go hunting!
I love to hunt in t-shirt weather!

Nope...Went out two days and didn't see anything that interested me. Plus, I really don't care to hunt in 90 degree temps and 60 MPH winds.
There's still 2 weeks left in antelope season...I'm in no hurry...until the last couple of days....
