It expands in flesh for form a buzz saw type face rotating with the original spin from the barrel rifling. Forms a large cavity wound, with high blood loss. Not illegal to own, but no longer manufactured for many years....

Maybe after it heals, he can have some tatoos added "just so" so it makes an arrogant picture of whatever he wants in that location.

Greg Anos · 03-02-2010, 05:18 PM

Well, I hope everybody enjoyed the latest Red Adventure. I'll get to the Concordance in a couple of days. Having been sick, I'm behind in some work around the house.

The Title of the next adventure is The Case of the Screaming Queen. I won't start working on that until fall....

Here's the first three chapter of the Concordance...

CONCORDANCE

Post !

Gar - A fish common to slow moving stream in Texas. It has a different type of scale that all the other fishes, making it a "living fossil" like the coelecanth. They are long and skinny fish, vicious predators of smaller fish, though rarely bothering humans. The jaws are at least 1/4 the entire body length. They come in two varieties -the needlenose gar, which is the smaller of the two, and the alligator gar, which is the larger. How large? Needlenoses have reached nearly 5 feet (1.5 meters) in length, and alligator gars have been caught up to 8 feet (2.5 meters) in length. The author saw a small school of alligator gars at the San Francisco aquarium in 1977. They were only 5 1/2 feet long (1.75 meters), and weight 80 pounds (35 Kilos) each. They are not loved by fishermen because they eat up game fish. Difficult to catch without specialized equipment.

Choke Canyon Reservoir - Real place, 70 miles (110 Kms) due south of San Antonio, Texas. Built in the late 1970's for drinking water for Corpus Christi, Texas. The old family ranch is just off the #2 part boat launch ramp. On top of the island across from where the ramp (when full) is, was where my father was born...

Alligators at Choke Canyon Reservoir - True story, even to the "Watch Out For Alligator" signs.

Slide through the brush - The area of South Texas was heavily overgrazed around the turn of the 20th century. The result was massive growth desert scrub plants. All of them have long thorns and will grow close together, causing a scrub forest called chaparral . To help make it available for grazing land again, one used naval anchor chains dragged by heavy bulldozers, tearing the shrubs and small trees down. The land got the nickname of "The South Texas Brush Country".

Tricky Dick mask - Tricky Dick was a nickname of Richard Nixon, who resigned under a cloud of ethics problems.

Highly ranked dead members of government - Central portraits on US Currency. Grant is on the $50, Franklin is on the $100, McKinley is on the $500, and Salmon P. Chase was on the $10,000.

Hoo-rah at Wacko - The US government got stuck in a barricaded with hostages situation in Waco (wacko) with a religious cult. The government maintained a siege for for 93 days, then assaulted the compound with military grade tear gas, armored cars. and heavy machine guns. Somehow a fire got started. Virtually no survivors. And yes, there were many women and children in the compound...

wacko - a slang term for crazy

German boys in '46 - The Nuremberg trials. The infamous "I was only following orders" defense.

Post 2

This isn't going to be another Alamo - Red was warning the FBI not to stage another armed assault while Red was negotiating.

Stringer - metal chain for keeping caught fish on.

Post 3

fully qualified for this style of communication - "Let he who is without sin cast the first stone..."

bullpen - American Baseball term. In it's simplest terms, the game has a player trying to pitch a ball over a designated spot on the field, with the other team's player trying to hit the ball as it goes by. When the pitcher stops being accurate, the pitching team has the right to replace the pitcher with another one. Each team keeps a group of replacement pitchers handy, who may or may not play, depending of the play of the starting pitcher. Otherwise, they just sit around and talk.

even without my amigo - From the American TV show Sledge Hammer. A comedy about an over-the-top Dirty Harry type cop and his gun, (his amigo).
