Reminds me of the 2 guys in the woods that see an angry bear.
One says "We better run",
the other says "You ain't gonna out run that bear",
he says "I know, but I only gotta outrun you."

Rest in Peace

Lim, I can't run fast or far so I roll up in a large ball, play dead like a large possum and hope for the best!
Rest in Peace

Lim's picture reminds me of a similar thread when Coin Nut posted his picture.

He has biceps like a world champion weight lifter.

Hopefully Coin Nut will post a picture on this thread, so we can see if he looks the same.

Meanwhile, a word to the wise, Don't mess with Lim or Coin Nut!

Hey Guys....it is Terry that we must never mess around with......I am only effective at close quarters, whereas Terry can "pip" the flame off the top of a lighted candle at one hundred yards.....

Still, being a 7th Dan in anything is impressive.

And that 100 yard shot is with a .54 cal. custom built muzzleloader! You ought to see what I can do with a .308 Tactical (sniper) rifle on a bipod! We can stretch out quite a few yards with that one! Put a lot of holes in rare coins at a short distance like 100 yards. If you don't believe me feel free to send your coins to my home address and I will send them back when I am done! Boy that would take a CRUEL coin collector, now wouldn't it? Just joking as I wouldn't have the heart so don't send the rare ones, just the new ones! The new Presidential dollar series would be great target shooting IF we would be able to get them but that won't happen either as the banks here don't and won't call them out and the Federal Reserve and Congress are completely obscure to the world around them (pampered like spoiled little rich kids and waited on by hand and foot so they don't have a clue) so don't expect any changes any time soon.
Lim I guess you will have to change that sig line of yours to "faster than a speeding bullet" and then, of course you will get sued by Superman and the Comic industry! A man just can't win!
Actually the world is still safe with me!

Not the best though, I'm on the right in the black shirt

Here is a side shot, I'm standing weird because I'm about to bowl.

Here is a more current pic of Mike. He has lost a whopping 100 pounds since the pic taken with Katie that you see earlier in the thread. Look at the difference!

I would also like to say how happy I am that Mike is feeling so much better these days. We have developed a very close friendship that means a lot to me and it's great to see his health improving so much so I know he'll be around for a long time to come!!
Rest in Peace

Wow! Mike, you look GREAT!!! I wish I could lose 100 pounds - I'd be back to my Army weight.

Terry, I smell a match: your .54 against my M1866 Springfield .50-70 at 600 yards. Or, if you want, we can make it a 1000 yards (or meters). (I won't try to match you with your .308 against my .50-70; modern against black powder is just too uneven.

Lim, I never could run very fast which I why I became such a good shot.

Fred

PS - Mike, your signature block of the day: "Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while, think I see my friends coming, riding a many mile." Etc. That's an old Kingston Trio (I think) song from the early 60s (and, in turn probably from a long time before since the theme behind the song refers to a medieval period when condemned prisoners could buy their way off the noose or chopping block. The Smothers Brothers (also early 60s) did a parody on it: "Hangman, hangman, slack your rope, slack it for awhile. I think I see my mother... a-a-a-c-k-k-k." (end song).

Looking good Mike!

Shatsi looks like she's visiting Long Island? The background looks awefully familar.
