Hes not kidding either. :smilelol5:

And then it become one of these :boxing
A bunch of years ago my father went to introduce my (late) wife to a neighbor - "This is my daughter in law, Judi - uh, Judi - um, my daughter in law, Judi!" He couldn't remember her last name, even though it had been his all his life. Of course since he didn't approve of her, it was not much of a surprise.

He didn't have my memory for numbers, and it's nothing I ever tried, consciously, to do, like I said it just happens. I only wish I could count cards like the Dustin Hoffman character in "Rainman" I wouldn't be greedy, just one trip to Vegas, and one to Reno, and one to Atlantic City, and one to Shreveport . . .

This kinda flew under the radar, so I don't know if you saw that Cerberus Capital Management--the same firm that recently acquired Chrysler from Daimler-Chrysler--has purchased Remington Arms for an estimated $370 million. Cerberus also purchased Bushmaster not long ago.

Makes you wonder about a new marketing ploy: the Chrysler Defender...a pickup with a built-in, full-length console safe for quick access to your Remington 870 12-gauge and handgun, another safe mounted flush in the ceiling for your Bushmaster M4, carry slots for your tactical flashlights and extra ammo, optional factory installed ceramic armor plating in the door panels and firewall, special lighting package including remote controlled spotlights and, of course, a reinforced frame with a ramming cage on the front.

Just kidding; just kidding... :grin: (Not about Remington being purchased, though.)
If it comes in four wheel drive then put me down for one.

No.

I can count eight decks of cards. I'm a poker whiz. I even was a craps dealer in Vegas for a while. I can't tell you what my license plate number is though...

I'll vouch for that. ;-)

It was good shooting with you. Thanks for letting me use your fancy Lightning. I'll be back down in September for Forum Day, hope to see you then.

I didn't have it memorized before, have them written down. But while I was reading this thread, I took a quick look at my daily carry, now it's in there. Still haven't memorized my new license plate number I got a month ago though.

No, I didn't give any effort to memorize it, but then, how hard can it be to memorize 6 digits off a GLOCK serial number? KZTxxx
