Title: Save the Black Out Date
Post by: SPQR on March 22, 2012, 11:50:11 PM

Some of you have wondered why September 22 was blacked out on Indiana's schedule. Some of you already know. For the rest, this is why.

I think red hats would have been quite appropriate for the picture.

Epic indeed. ;)

I wonder if Foppish dandy can design a unique AS billboard using this picture. Message: "If nothing else, Project Appleseed may just get you hitched." Rats, wrong firearm. Never mind.

Congratulations!!!

Oh, obligatory joke is obligatory:

"That is the best shotgun wedding invitation southern Indiana has ever seen..."

Ok, sorry, it had to be done. The history of humor required it. ;D

"As to the species of exercise, I advise the gun. While this gives [only] moderate exercise to the body, it gives boldness, enterprise, and independence to the mind. Games played with the ball and others of that nature, are too violent for the body and stamp no character on the mind. Let your gun, therefore, be the constant companion to your walks."

Congratulations AJ and Malea!

AJ, I would recommend not shaving for at least a couple of days before the 22nd; as we all know, that does make you look better... ;D

Darn it, techres beat me to the obligatory joke. Oh well, I'm gonna make it anyway. "Thats a different kind of shotgun wedding".... Sorry, sorry.

In all seriousness, congratulations to you both!

I heard Fred volunteered to be an usher so he could 7th Step everyone as they walked in.

Less than 24 hours out!

Relatives coming to town.
Guns getting cleaned for the long gun picture.
Presents being bagged up for the gift table.
Kids being forced to get clean via waterhose as needs be.
Gas being put into the family V8 for the trip into deepest banjoland.

Only a few questions remain.

Is it rude to give a wedding gift of a used brass cleaner to the couple if it already belongs to the groom an you still have it on loan?

Is a wedding the kind of thing where you have to give match ammo? Or is while box ok? Or do reloads carry that "I worked for this" meaning?

Is chilidog crying because the bride was so beautiful or because the bride wouldn't let him open carry his model 29?

Is this the time to put up a couple of special bumper stickers that you KNOW will get the groom's side and bride's side going in heated political conversation?

Is it better to wear nice church pants with just a couple of holes in the knees, or your ladies night denim jeans that are mostly clean? I mean God forgives a few holes, but will the bride?

Is it best to give that "special" toast you've worked on for years in the original limerick form that you thought it up in?

Is the couple dumb enough to let the pastor say the line that always begs for a joke interruption, "Is there anyone here who thinks this hitch'n is a bad idea?"

Oh, so many questions...

See you all there!

That sure is one pretty lookin' pecan pie all ready to go.

Shotguns are ready to go.

Still deciding which rifle is my favorite one for the picture, though. Have to be careful not to say it out loud, too...don't want to hurt the others' feelings. ;)

Dang it!!! If only I could make it to this weekend of epicness. !@#) Ah, some of us are going to be stuck at home watching ~~Michigan whup up on some team from Indiana~~ some team from Indiana beat Michigan in a pitiful primetime game.

Oh, and Huff, you'd had better be holding that M1 that you make look so good. :cool2:

I'd better get back to work...but there had better be an AAR started tonight about this. &)
