I thought he’d be crazy to not want to settle down with McAdams, then I forgot he was already with Beckinsale for almost 10 years, and they had a good/friendly split, too. What a lucky guy.
March 1st, 2013 at 8:29 AM
Those dog show owners are crazy. This owner thinks his dog was poisoned but can’t figure out when or how because the dog was never off leash. Also the dog was never allowed outside. So do they just let the dog shit and piss inside?

So I think this season of Archer has been fantastic outside of the Barry/Katia episode (awful plotline, last season’s finale sucked dick and it looks like they’re building up to another one with him, great) but holy shit last night’s was not good. So you basically redo the blimp episode plotline to shoehorn in a Bourdain guest appearance (HE’S SO EDGY!) and there’s zero Krieger in the whole episode? Fuck you, Archer.

i kinda have to agree…the funniest parts were archer enjoying being a chef and there werent nearly enough of those. bourdain in particular was abysmal.

Bourdain is so edgy he rounded out. I think the only part I really remember was Archer throwing the phone down and saying “Why couldn’t he let the dream live on”. I would have preferred they just had Archer, Pam, Krieger and Lana on a very special episode of Chopped. Or if you are going to have a ‘cooking’ episode then this is the time to pull out the Bob Burger crossover.

agreed…thats why I have those as well.
March 1st, 2013 at 8:51 AM
well obviously. but if youre just shooting targets, youll spend a shitload more. bet you could probably get 100 rounds of 9mm for what youd spend on 50 of .40.

March 1st, 2013 at 8:57 AM
This is even more true for shouldered firearms. I’d rather shoot a .22 at targets over a number of other conventional rounds. I’ll shoot the hunting rifles to get them sighted, but they aren’t shot for leisure as often as the smaller caliber guns (unless we are blowing stuff up). I’d rather shoot clays with a shotgun than send rounds down range out of a rifle all day long.
March 1st, 2013 at 8:58 AM
yep, wish I would have bought a .40 instead of a 9mm, too damn expensive to shoot the .40 very often.
March 1st, 2013 at 8:59 AM
Hmmmm. Interesting. Not sure about that. There was a BBQ discussion last week in here (Western vs Eastern NC style) Im surprised your spider sense wasnt going off.

So I finally watched this week’s Justified last night. Didn’t backread Wednesday’s roundup, but Shelby is Thompson, right? The writers seemed to lay it on pretty thick.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:10 AM
Speaking of McAdams… saw The Vow recently and didn’t hate it. Of course, I can’t say I really care for movies where I spend two hours feeling terrible for the male lead, either.

Rachel McAdams is single
She was easily Top 5 10 years ago and then did what so many young actresses did and went overbotox and changed her look dramatically. Megan Fox looks like a wax museum piece now.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:13 AM
but Shelby is Thompson, right? The writers seemed to lay it on pretty thick.
That was my favorite episode all season. However, this seems too obvious, but it was definitely made to look like Shelby is Thompson. His psychic ex-wife would almost have to be in on it.
Also, Tim is up to something. Once again, the framing of his expressions while Raylan was talking at his desk were obviously foreshadowing something. I eagerly await his showdown with Colt.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:13 AM

March 1st, 2013 at 9:14 AM
Tweak your grip a tad strong?
Set your feet a tad closed to your target line?
March 1st, 2013 at 9:16 AM
Compared to five of the other seven episodes this season it was.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:16 AM
I was thinking the same thing. It’s too obvious, but at the same time, it makes a ton of sense. I just can’t understand why they’d hide Thompson’s identity if it wasn’t someone the viewers know. The only other option I can imagine is Arlo, and I’m not even sure how holds up under any scrutiny.
Not sure about Tim. He doesn’t know about his boy getting capped yet, right? One thing Justified does better than any show TV except maybe GoT is tie seemingly disparate plotlines together by the season’s midpoint. Every single character this season is critically important to the story, which makes for some fantastic payoffs.
Awesome episode, though, if a bit rushed.

March 1st, 2013 at 9:25 AM
It’s amazing how close Justified was to becoming a hillbilly procedural (really liked that dentist ep, though). The first half of season one is a clear step down in quality from the rest of the show’s run. Most shows have growing pains and Justified came through it, thanks in no small part to Margo Martindale and the writers’ decision to explore the small-town backstory of its central characters.
It’s going somewhere, just over a much longer timeline. I think this coming season will make a lot of people happy (and yes, there are lots of new characters).

Why get rid of Turner to sign someone like Jackson who is essentially the exact same type of RB?
March 1st, 2013 at 9:27 AM
im betting youre moving off the ball in your backswing and keeping your weight back too much. probably sliding your hips laterally instead of turning them.
in this computer model of hogan’s swing from an overhead view, notice how his hips stay in place all thru the backswing…if you slide your hips back, you gotta make compensations and it’s hard to get your weight back forward.

Not yet. But when he finds out, he’ll know who did it.
One thing Justified does better than any show TV except maybe GoT is tie seemingly disparate plotlines together by the season’s midpoint.
I am always disappointed in most of early season episodes of Justified. Not disappointed as in bad, just not as good as how kick ass Justified closes out seasons. I think this season hit its stride Tuesday night.

I’d be shocked to hear Husker say that. Many of us are tired of him just putting his head down and hoping he lineman make a hole. The Atlanta o-line was way underrated during Turner’s best years. He’s got something left, but not much.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:34 AM
Yeah, can’t disagree there. Guessing that when it’s all said and done, the series could have been four or five books, max. I’m really curious to see what HBO does in 2015. There’s really no way to tell the story in a television medium without axing tons of content from the fourth & fifth books and merging the timelines so entire characters don’t disappear for years on end. Benioff and Weiss have made some smart decisions regarding adaptation and the addition of new scenes (the Tywin/Arya stuff was fantastic) so I’m hoping they feel confident enough to whip out the red pen in two years.

I remember when they first came out (long ago). They still as loosely built?
March 1st, 2013 at 9:41 AM
Sig firearms get a lot of pub b/c of their use by the SEALS – a govt contract won by a good salesman and a low bid (free).
My opinion is that they’re overrated. A bit heavier and more moving parts than a Glock. I’m not really a huge Glock fan, but they’re so simple and light – great for the lesser experienced shooter.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:42 AM
They still as loosely built?
They can shoot forever. Damn things are indestructible.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:43 AM
fine choice, but i think one of these is probably the best bet for home protection.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:44 AM
A 9mm isnt home protection. That is why cops carry them. They are meant to subdue.
A 40 or 45 with one shot to a leg will cripple any intruder. I dont even like guns but I own one for the single reason that no one is gonna try and rob me.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:45 AM
Didn’t Colt just get a contract for .45s to replace the Berreta .9mm?
Also, by the time a special operations gunsmith finishes up on a gun, it’s nothing like the off the shelf variety.

The director (who I learned has quite a nice resume — Red Rock West, Rounders, lotta strong TV gigs) really honed in on that ashtray, didn’t he?
That one too. That was lots of lingering on scenes that was obvious foreshadowing. Fine with me as long as it doesn’t become a habit.

Colt is a confusing character. Varies being dumb as shit and bad ass. I’m pretty sure he is just a dumb as shit bully that will get his head blown off by Tim and not Boyd.

Most baddass gun I saw was an automatic shotgun. I was working at a Dude Ranch in CO, we had a skeet ranch, and this dude was like “pull, pull, pull, pull.” That fucking thing was loud as fuck.

Spencer – told this story a few years ago put when i picked my 229 up, there was a cop there and he saw it and actually said, ‘wow, that’s an upgrade over what we carry.’ granted i bought it new (dumb) and added the red laser & grip … yeah, it was more expensive than a big flatscreen TV.

March 1st, 2013 at 9:57 AM
oh yea, i bet that was a pretty big chunk you laid down for that thing. i agree with others that a glock is less maintenance and just as good a performer for the non-discerning shooter, but i cant hate on a sig. ive shot one twice and enjoyed it.
it’s fairly lowbrow, but i like shooting SW revolvers. .38 special w00t.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:58 AM

Really good for high volume shooting. And for paddling your boat if you lost your oar.
March 1st, 2013 at 9:58 AM
My P226 is one of the earlier ones, and would probably be my go-to handgun if I had to only take 1 with me. It’s a 9mm, which isn’t quite the bad-guy dropper that my other sidearms is, but I wouldn’t trade it’s smoothness and reliability for anything. Sure, it has more moving parts than some others, but that doesn’t really matter when it’s made as well as the Sig’s are.

It’s a very unfair argument. Not all people who defend their home do so with the innate desire to kill the assailant. Subduing and incapacitating will do the trick just fine. I like the 9mm for the magazine capacity. It has plenty of stopping power when it comes to getting the job done (stop the burglary, attack, etc).

dopeman will appreciate this (told this story before so sorry …)
I bought my S&W 3906 used from a outdoor store. Was with a friend Chuck while looking.
Sales guy pulls out the 3906 and I start looking closely. I showed the gun to Chuck pointing at the barrel – stamped on it was “Gwinnett PD”.
He laughed and said “Well, if you’re gonna get rid of someone, you might as well make it look like the good guys did it.”
Guy behind the counter did not laugh.

Only Sig I’ve ever craved is a smaller frame (not going to try to find the number here at work), but chambered for Sig .357. Just for the uniqueness.
March 1st, 2013 at 10:07 AM
I shot a Sig the morning after the Penguins won the cup, I was hungover as a wolverine and when we got to the range there was a fucking guy shooting a shotgun in the middle of the pistol range. Had to wait for him to finish and I nearly shit myself from the hangover.

Sheen – Yes.
Shining Base Path – Yes.
to this:

If you’ve got a family and you find a criminal in your house in the middle of the night … I don’t think you should be messing around with attempting to “subdue and incapacitate.” but that’s just me. i hope not to have to ever be in that situation.

I think you guys have missed the point a little. I wouldn’t be going for legshots, thats for damn sure. The point I am making is if you have subdued the assailant and he is no longer an imminent threat, then I’m probably not going to stand over him and fire a few more rounds and kill the person. If, however, they die in the course of getting to that point, well then thats the way the cookie crumbles. Does that make sense?

The $1,100,000 bump is salary could easily afford almost three seasons of pay the players.
‘You don’t understand I have a child and if they want my TV I get to kill someone’s child.’
What are the odds? A security company, trying to sell me security, claimed there is a 1/36 chance of being broken into. It’s way lower than that, probably more likely to hurt your family driving or having a gun in the house.

haha i gotcha. also, the 9mm has lower recoil and higher velocity, which is something that may bite you in the ass when your rounds wind up in your neighbors house or god forbid in an innocent person next door. This is why we go back to the trusty pump shotgun with some #2 or #4 shot.

According to the FBI there are 2.2 million burglaries per year in the US (odds of rapist, or killer approach actual zero).
291,000,000 occupied residencies. You have a 0.7 per cent chance of being broken into. Whereas the like-hood of your wife or children getting murdered rises with a fire arm in the house.
