Society is just too up-tight

Let me repeat that. They could not get a single democrat to vote to make it a felony to purchase a child for sex.


Let that sink in.

I didn't have to 'let that sink in'. I've known for a long time that Democrats are evil perverts with no redeeming qualities.

Case in point right here...

Since then, society has really gotten a stick up its collective ass. Would-be streakers are threatened with new laws that would put them on sex-offender lists for life.

Streaking was a one-year-wonder, 1974. There was the song 'The Streak' that was top 40, and at the Oscars, when a streaker flashed across the stage, David Niven, always cool under pressure, stated "how nice of him to share his shortcomings with us."

Yadkin, you're an old fart.

My brother was at UMass back in '74 when they had a 400-person "Mass streak at Mass" [My quote]. I remember seeing pictures in his yearbook.

'74 was actually a good year, at least for me. I was in 8th grade at 13, had a Honda CT70 and a Sheridan Blue Streak air rifle, and the top 40 music was actually very good still. Girls wore painted on jeans and had feathered hair and guys wore down puffer jackets and timberline hiking boots. Everybody played with Clackers. The Disco Malaise had not quite set in yet.

And four years later, the mobile streak had become popular (er, uh, maybe in Golden Gate Park)...

Same here. Only I had a Honda XL100 and a Daisy 1894 BB gun (lever action). Never owned clackers and, looking back, I always found them obnoxious if someone else was using them. Just never really saw the point in them.

At 13, I also had a bolt action .22LR for plinking, a 20 gauge pump for birds, and a Marlin .35 REM for deer. Still have the real guns, but I don't know what ever happened to the BB gun.

I had a Winchchester 62A pump in .22 short in like new condition and a .32 H&R nickel plated top break revolver, and a .69 Tower flintlock pistol, but they got stolen, along with the Blue Streak, in a 1975 burglary. (Oakland) The Blue Streak I have now I got in '76 and it still works fine. Still pissed about the 62A, as it was my grandfather's and passed down to me, the only other conservative in the family interested in shooting sports. I did end up later with a couple of mint Model 12's, both made the same year as the 62A (1954). With your XL100, you were waaaay ahead of the curve. Remember the Hodaka Combat Wombat 100's? I really, really wanted one. Super cheap, and good performers. Until they weren't!

Never heard of the Hodakas, but my best friend had a Yamaha 100 that was a little faster than my Honda.

Like I said, I can't recall whatever happened to my old Daisy, but I replaced it many years later with a Beeman R1. Fully adjustable Rekord trigger and a 3x9 scope. I use it for crows in my gardens. Leaves exit wounds. Takes more than 50 pounds to cock it though.

About 15 years ago, I bought a like-new 1979 Feinwerkbau 124 deluxe sporter from the original owner. I had wanted one in the mid '70's, even handled one at Beeman's in San Rafael, but could not swing the $149 price tag. I ended up with an El Gamo 300 which I still have 50-odd years later that still shoots great. The Feinwerkbau 124 was too expensive to keep in production (.008" groups at ten meters) and had seals that rotted (soy based). I rebuilt mine with modern seals. Still have the original targets and pellets. The original owner used it to shoot crows when he was in Belgium.
A friend has an R-1, and it packs much more punch, but the 124 was the first 'magnum' air rifle. The Magnum is also huge in comparison!!
BTW, Robert Beeman and his wife were very nice, helpful, and cool people.

Right on! I recommend lots of Extra Virgin(not extra virgins) olive oil, and plenty Omega 3's, C'Mon.

Same height and weight as Yadkin, but 5 years his senior. And likely, much nicer hair.
