David,
Indeed I would....then I might be able to afford enough gas to make my "Van Gogh"....

Joe,
Are you saying the art topic ran out of "gas?"

Maybe not but it was time for a new "model".

Joe,
The topic may have been losing "steam" but that was no reason to put it in a shooting "gallery."

When the "target " is there you got to shoot.

I'll double up puns in one word "Gallery"

Mick - you son of a "gun" - Did not know your were such an
"artistic" punster.
I bet the youngster of the group do not know what an old fashion shooting gallery is. Maybe I can "paint" a picture for them. I can remember them at the county fairs. For a little money you got to shoot 22's at all sorts of fun little targets. Most had bent sights. Even if you won something it was worth less than what you paid to shoot. But ah the memorys.
Today a shooting gallery is where druggies go to shoot up their dope.

Mick,
We're beginning to see some reruns, which makes this thread a "shell" of its former self.
Don't worry, you're not "fired."

So I don't have to retire to my "chamber" and sit on my "butt" for awhile ?
I will take "stock" of the situation as soon as I get my arm out of the "sling". I broke it trying to lift a "barrel" of "primer" when I was painting my office.

Mick,
I wasn't trying to insuate that you're a "slug."
BTW, I heard of an exceptional sale on paint. With a coupon, they'd take a dollar off of the sale price.
If a person didn't have the coupon, it amounted to another "buckshot."

Gee, you go away for a few hours and the topic changes....though pretty much what I would expect from gentlemen of your "caliber"....
Kind of reminds me when Uncle Loren tried raising rabbits. Unfortunately he put two males in together and all he got was a pair of "cross hares".

Oh, those kind of rabbits.

'Sulfa' as it goes, I do not want this to be a 'breech' of etiquette but you have to keep your 'ramrod' straight around here. You do not want to go off 'half cocked'.
Ancient history:
You would half cock your flintlock to remove the leather protector over the pan. Then cock it fully in order to shoot. That is after you packed the powder and mini ball with the ramrod.

Wow, I had no idea your puns in other threads was being restrained so much. Now that you've let loose I can see how much you were really holding back.

Yeah,
Some of us don't need much of a "trigger" word.
I'm happy to see the gun topic off at a good "clip." :-)

After my daughter did 'cannonballs' in the pool all day she developed a cold. Developed a real sore throat. Had to keep going in her room to find out 'Howitzer' throat. Then I helped her with her homework and made sure that she put the 'bullets' in the right places. It was a 'blast'.

Harvey,
Keep an eye on that cold. There's a chance that too much sneezing can lead to a case of "snub nose."
There's a remedy for that at the pharmacy. In fact, check your local paper for a "Saturday Night Special."

Well Uncle Loren had a rough night...started out by molding a pile of sodium chloride into a long round barrel. Said he always wanted "a salt rifle".....
But things turned worse though when he was cooking dinner. He fell into the barbeque grill and wound up with a severe case of "firearms"....
