Obvious fake sold

[Dick Hosmer]

One of my fantasies has always been to take one of my obscurely valuable trapdoors into there and see what kind of smoke they would try to blow up my butt. Of course it would never air but still might be fun.

Speaking of "experts" has anyone watched the new "Brothers in Arms" series from the not-so-much-History Channel? Another very contrived "reality" show; I managed to choke down one hour, less a little dozing, before puking - I'll never watch another episode. One straight-up guy is drowned out by the obnoxious "stars".

friend had a rather obscure carriage mounted gun ,
he had just bought it, it needed some work, and somehow got signed up on one those gun shows,
they worked on his gun, it works well,

he told me every word they spoke was scripted, no adlib, no off the cuff remarks,

all by a script,

and horrible,
