TxRad is stalking me.

[Handley_Page]

Just get a handgun, assuming you live where it's legal to own one. Sig Sauer supposedly has high-quality weapons that never jam.

Then it's Mob hitman style. As Clemenza advises Michael Corleone, get close and then two bullets to the head. Of course, Michael hesitates at the key moment, but he still does the job on them, as Tessio puts it.

But that's all so untidy, ain't it.
I stalk with my camera in hand; it can spook the subject, occasionally.

Well, she did mention the shotgun and the mess it makes, so I assumed she meant actually shooting them, not merely spooking them. But I'm not a violent person, so I'd go with the camera.

In my case, either a Canon EOS600D or a Minox B

I know you mentioned this before, but my memory is shot. What is your connection to these?

I didn't know you were into face sitting.

You can also tell the sheriff, "Oops, I got a little carried away."

It will be a cold, snowy day in hell before he ever gets a whiff of this again. No. Besides, I didn't say I'd smother him.

I have plenty of handguns. Again, too messy. Blood soaks into the carpeting and stains. Such a chore to clean--and blood always leaves trace evidence.

But that's all so untidy, ain't it.

Untidy is the word. I've already spooked him, but he still refuses to leave. Sigh. I guess I'll have to be the one to actually move out. Such a shame how much this place will fall apart when I'm gone. Breaks my heart. I really put a lot of myself into it.

"I have plenty of handguns. Again, too messy. Blood soaks into the carpeting and stains. Such a chore to clean--and blood always leaves trace evidence."

Then don't shoot him in your house, or even his house. But then you have the risk of ambushing him in some public place. Ideally, maybe you would use some other method.

Trace evidence: you probably want to dispose of the body. Again, the Mob has the resources and talent for that sort of thing. But as seen in Goodfellas, even they make mistakes. They had to dig up Billy Batts and bury him a second time.

 

[CyranoJ]

So, in reality, you're Michael Landon? No, wait. He's dead.

Ahh, but that's just what they said about Elvis!

And Hendrix.

And Jim Morrison.

And three-quarter capris.

And the whole period of Steven Seagal's career where people actually took him seriously.

IDK where I was going with this. Michael Landon is, indeed, dead. Can confirm. For reasons I'd rather not get into. But y'all are wonderful and definitely about... 60% less boring than an average round of parcheesi. So, that's pretty good. Carry on.

I was á 'Cold War Warrior' in the Air Force at the time those magnificent aircraft were in service (sadly, it was decided to convert many of them to a be a 'Flying gas Tank'.

And three-quarter capris.

OK go on then. a three-quarter capri ???

Right? The very thought is horrifying. And yet... we allowed it to happen. Makes you think, doesn't it?

Hey! I still wear those capris. :caning:

Ah, the thick plottens. But I have to concede that this is an economical way to declare yourself as part the ranks of the Cursed Undead. Beware, Spawn of Evil! The world must be protected from the Curse of the Three-Quarter Capris.

[NB: This is 10000% gonna spin out into a whole Van Helsing-style sub-narrative unless SweetWitch stops me. Be prepared.]

... and therefore comes from both flavors of Hell!

But more particularly the one that involves pants.

I am begging for someone to stop me from pursuing this subplot. There's really nowhere for it to go but down into the Awesome Heavy Metal Pits of Eternity where factories generate Nothing But Sparks.

Don't make me take you to that place! It is a bad place, people! It is full of bad hair and a ruinous expense of wardrobe budget on fundamentally unimpressive leather.

Aircraft, and aircraft companies, come and then they go. Some of them have very short lifespans. Except for the B-52. Amazing that some of them are still in service.

Civilian planes too. Obviously, the de Havilland Comet, the first commercial jet airliner, developed in Britain. It didn't quite work out. Yet the name lives on with De Havilland Canada, which still makes aircraft.

I like the /8 series.
DHC have made some bloody good airplanes.

The B52 has a strange wing structure which, they reckon, will keep it flying for another 30 years or so. But it IS a nice airplane.

I had no idea that any remnant of De Havilland still existed. I guess it's pleasing to see that something survived beyond the Comet's failure. The B-52 is a nice plane - in peacetime! I wouldn't want to be the target of one in a war. As that conversation in Apocalypse Now goes (one of them is Captain Willard):

"What's that?" (The sound of distant explosions.)

"Arc Light." (A B-52 strike.)

"I hate that. Every time I hear that, something terrible happens."

"Charlie don't never see them or hear them, man."

I've seen no evidence that TXRad is anything other than a gentleman.
And as such, I've been able to learn nothing from him

 

[Oralinator]

SweetWitch and TxRad have been going at this for over 11 years? Seriously? That’s the longest running foreplay session since Harry Met Sally. Seems like we should start a GoFundMe page to get you two a room.
